Hello, I have a 160L aquarium in which there are 8 platys, 8 swordtails, 8 black molly and now 12 guppies because I'm dismantling the tank.
The question is, I'm thinking about whether I should give the guppies away – probably already – or whether they can stay inside or whether that's too much (they all feel fine, I'm always testing and checking that the water values are right and there isn't too much pollution.
Thank you in advance

Loading...Hello, I wanted to ask if you can do a temperament test with a German Shepherd mix even if it is not on the list.
Hello I was at the pet store recently and bought a female for my male dwarf gourami. Since the supposed female looks very colorful and doesn't differ much from the male, I suspect someone there wasn't very familiar with the species. Also, the female's belly is a bit bloated. Could it be that she's pregnant?…
Hello, My cat hasn't eaten, and the vet says it's probably because she has a really bad cold. We've been giving her antibiotics for three weeks now, but almost nothing's changed. The vet said it could take a while, but we have to keep forcing her to eat, and this can't go on any longer….
Hello, our almost 2-year-old dog, whom we picked up from a friend on Monday, April 1, 2024, suddenly started peeing in the apartment. For example, today we came home after a 2-hour walk, we took him off the leash, etc., and he peed right on the carpet. We don't know what to do anymore and…
Hello, I bought four new hens yesterday and only noticed last night that they all have beaks that are far too long. See picture. I think it looks as if there are already blood vessels there, so I'm worried about injuring them. But I also don't want their beaks to break and cause them even…
I once heard that if you drink salt water every day, you'll die after a few weeks. Is that really true? If so, why is that? You can just drink regular water again afterward.
Hello
I’d say that’s okay, so if it’s really 160Liter and not 60Liter
Some people have more fish in it.
But the ones you have are all very happy to do Babies…

Yes, I always see that I sell the young animals if they are not so small anymore, at the guppys I will probably give at least half
If you always find someone who buys them, okay
Imagine stressful
But if there’s anything that eats them,
I’ve made myself easier, I’ve left all the life-giving (plays in my case) and now I’m quiet.
Hi.
also find that there are quite many living bearers but if you have a buyer or so it will not give so many problems
lg and fun with your fish ice cream

Butterfly beaks would probably already eat baby fish… but they are exceptional softwater fish. And actually it is necessary to prepare their water with a reverse osmosis to keep them art-friendly. Platys, Mollys and Guppys, however, do not like soft water… so I also recommend this combination of fish. – Added to this is that butterfly bushes are still very delicate and become very quickly sick and die very quickly when not optimal conditions =(
Unfortunately, it is always a bit difficult to cultivate so many, different living-beings in a rather “small” aquarium. Sword carriers and Mollys are already relatively large. And that’s why I care for my Mollys in a 400 liter species pool. Also, it is not so ideal to care for sword carriers and platys in a basin, because hybrids can arise which are no longer reproductive or even crippled.
I would choose a single, lively fish species at your place and look for a new place for the other fish. Because this doesn’t threaten you to create miserable hybrids. And a somewhat larger fish group in a species basin, does not seem so much visually after an overcrowded fish soup aquarium.
I myself also care for various living-beings. However, have all kinds of pools, between 150 and 430 litres. The animals grow undisturbed because they don’t have any fress enemies. But if you don’t feed the animals excessively, if at all, you have to reduce the stock slightly in 1 to 1.5 years.
So, dear butterflies colorful? They also eat the babies and are clearly smaller or how many would I have to keep from them?
of 3-4 “small scalar” for a 160 litre basin I would advise you. The animals do not remain small and require high pelvis. At least 60 cm height, so that a water level of 50 cm can be guaranteed and the animals do not have to take their fins during swimming. Scalers are also quite territorial… under 400 – 500 liters of aquarium volume I wouldn’t use the animals.
Otherwise the consideration would be the guppys all give up and vllt 3-4 Smaller scalares that would decimate you babies
Yes this is sometimes stressful but if it really choose too many and no one takes them I put them to my florida cancer who is happy about it
That’s all right. In my opinion, twice as many would still be okay
