May I say again "I FOOLISHLY bought a male and female fancy guppy". When
the male died almost immediately and there were only two surviving offspring
I just assumed that I could move the male offspring into a separate tank
before he got old enough to be a problem. Well that would now be shutting
the barn door as I have dozens of baby guppies. AND you would think I would
be bright enough to just leave them in the water garden with the parents and
thereby eliminate most of the problem but NOOOOO. I had to jump to the
rescue of these unbelievably cute tiny little fish and they are now in my 2
gallon tank. They are only about 16th of an inch now but will soon be far
bigger than this tank can hold and I'm not about to go out and buy two 50
gallon tanks for guppies (I swear this time I will separate out the males
and females the moment they show). I'm just venting... I know all the
obvious answers (most of them mean turning these fellows into someone elses
snack). DKat

I foolishly bought a male and female fancy guppy for my small water garden
to keep down the mosquitoes. I now have to winter them over (well
actually
winter over Mom and two offspring) and I don't have a clue when I should
bring them in, if they have to have filtered water or I can simply change
the water on a daily basis (I'm going to have a very small tank by the
kitchen sink), etc. They don't eat any of the food I give them that I can
see so I don't even know about feeding them. Any help would be
appreciated... DKat

the most obvious answer to solve most aquarium problems is that it's a
closed system.. limit nutrient input and biomass will level out...
(less algae as well)

It is called tough love...
