Hello Marius... Welcome to TASA.

Seriously thinking about getting a tank with only guppies.
I really do like them Just need to find the space...

 

Hi Marius, Welcome. Well you have come to the right place, we hope you enjoy your time here with us. I also breed Guppies, but not a selected strain, I just love them they are so colourful.

 

Welcome welcome. Hope you enjoy TASA.

 

Nice,ya im craze about guppies.. I wanna breed the lyra tail,and many other,but i just want to get everything in place.Had a loss to about 50- 60 adults and about 40 fry because of finrot,not sure what the cause was,but back in action and after a month all is well.. Just dont ever want to have a loss like that again

 

So i have big plans next,im gonna sell my tanks but im building a small pond and moving them there. What u think???

 

Keep some of the tanks - you will need to overwinter them in it - Oudtshoorn gets a tad to cold to keep them outdoors in Winter...

 

welcome to tasa

 

You will have to make sure that the pond is big and especially deep enough. Oudtshoorn gets very hot in summer and if your pond is too shallow you will fry your fish. Also make sure that the pond will get shade during summer. On the other hand winter time is too cold to keep them outside, so you will have to bring them inside like Azurekoi said. While they are outside you will have to monitor the water temp the whole time to make sure that it is suitable for your guppies especially during the hottest time of the day and early morning hours when it gets the coldest.

 

Hi guys,thanx for the replys,yes,i kept all my tanks,still guppies in them.. My tank are under a roof but outside,they tend to get a litle hot.but from january till now,the ponds tempreture kept between 26-30,its about 50cm deepand about 2m by 2m. My friend's father has a pond smaller and his pond doesnt have much shade and he keeps them in during winter and summer,he only have 3 huuters in his pond,between 150w and 300w,he said i should make sure all heathers are working properly.. i have 2 300w heaters about 30cm in lenght and a big 1000L 300w heater about 50cm in lenget,planing on buying anoter big one just incase one goes. But i had a few problems ,i had found "blood suckers",not sure what i can do about it, andone pump was to strong,3000l per hour,it sucked 4 fish,so i modified it with net and aquarium wool and its working so far. Ill try to upload some photos,i am proud,the pond looks good
