I was reading the guppy forum and find that guppy are a very easy fish to keep,just nice i have a spare nano tank,so i went to c328 to grab a pair of guppies.as im new,i have question to ask,experience bro and sis do guide me along.

What variant is my guppy?
Will they breed in such small tank?
Under what condition will they breed?etc;plants,lighting

Hi Bro,

Nice to see you started on guppy keeping. Yours is the Grade A type albino full red guppy. I believe your female will drop if you pump it with brine shrimp or live food and that the male is working very hard every day. I believe you will have to change your nano tank's water every two days if you pump them with live food. Yes, indeed guppies are easy to keep but it becomes trickier if you keep albino guppies.

Hi bro,
Welcome to this hobby.
As from ur pic, feeding with live food or dry food, u still need to hv regular w/c with aged water cos u dun hv filtration. Water will turn bad pretty fast. Moreover u r having an albino, they r more sensitive to water condition compare to grey eyes.
Good luck

Hi bro, you might want to help a small sponge filter so your fish has better water parameters. They will also be more active. If possible, juz add some plants for them to play around with like hornworts

Yes, guppies are very easy to keep. But be better if you have a bigger tank hahas. Hope you get baby guppies soon

Welcome bro. Is good to start off with the cheaper one till you ready for more nicer strain. With that setup you have to change water more often best is add a sponge filter in =)

Hi. That tank is the minimum of condition for keep guppies. I dont recommend anyone such a start. My opinion is to add sponge filter and some of plants. Good luck
