I threw together a small guide on taking care of guppies. Some of these facts I talk about are really important to take note of. Guppy fish are super great fish to own and especially as a beginner aquarist. These fish truly are not that hard to take care of as soon as you understand the basics to how they live within their habitat. http://guppy-fish.com

Okay so I have a question- I am trying to convince my parents to let me get fish again. We took rid of them cause we moved my bedroom to the basement and there was only one fish left which passed a week before I was going dowstairs. I feel I convinced them to let me get fish, but I wanna convince them to let me get guppies again, cause those were my favourite ones because of how they're colourful, small and easy to keep, and they gave birth to fish which I found really cool at the time, and still do. This video gave me many good things to tell him about guppies, but do u have any more really convincing ones for parents so that they want to get guppies?

While I don't doubt that the tank could comfortably hold 20-30 guppies after it's been established, please consider that it takes about a month for a new aquarium to develop the bacteria that would break down fish waste into harmless nitrogen, and that until then, that 20-30 fish would create abnormally high and toxic ammonia and nitrite levels. So I would start with a couple of fish and start adding more after about a month's time after the tank has established itself.

ooh i forgot. Maybe this will help:
If you want a betta male, you can only keep 1 of them otherwise they will kill eachother. Bettas are verry beautiful and you can keep them in like a 10 gallon tank.
Guppies are beautiful too. BUT i would recomend to keep them at least with 1 male and 3 female. You could keep only females but you can't keep only males. Guppies would need a little bit bigger tank. I think that you also could keep them in a 10 gallon tank, but than you can't keep more than 4 or 5.
Hope this will help you. And i am verry curious to your decision!!

That would depend on the bowl size and set-up. The bigger the bowl, the better of course, but there are stories of people breeding guppies in 1 liter of water (which is NOT recommended). If you can fit a filter in your bowl, then do so; otherwise I would recommend diligent 15% to 50% water changes daily or weekly (all depending on your set-up and schedule). Frequent small water changes are preferable over larger water changes. Other recommendations are undemanding water plants to keep your water clean, and stable room temperature. If you don't use filters, you can also add pond snails to eat debris and excess food.

You could have A LOT in a 25 gallon. Maybe 30 would be good. Tankmates? probably shrimp and snails. If you end up with so much fry after breeding, you could always sell them or donate them to your local fish store.You can't keep guppies with goldfish, guppies are tropical and need a heater whilst goldfish are coldwater. If u plan to breed guppies start out with 2 males and 4 females.

What about seeing if you can get things like a small species of trout or perche? Something that big, you could grow supper! (No offense intended folks.)
