 | Guppy Juveniles |
stealth114 Hobbyist Posts: 63 Kudos: 24 Votes: 1 Registered: 17-Jan-2008   | I know female guppies mature very quickly ( say within 6 weeks of birth) but I wanted to wait say 6 months to let my junvenile female guppies mature and grow well enough prior to letting them breed... I have them segregated and keep them healthy.. Just thought this may contribute to longevity rather than letting them breed too early.. Any thoughts? Many thanks! Hobbyists |

I personally would give them a very healthy tank plenty of live plants especially floating eg water sprite this will help when breeding. A good selection of high quality foods dont be afraid to try some thing different if it works fantastic if not as least its one you know they dont like. Have a look at My Profile at all the foods I have tried and used over the years. Just think of them as wild fish what would they eat certainly not packaged foods. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
