![]() | Male guppies compatibility |
Jubilee![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Enthusiast Posts: 181 Votes: 0 Registered: 18-Feb-2003 ![]() ![]() | I've never kept all male guppies before. Would 3-4 males get along with no fighting or would there be some shredded tails? |

Here's a good thread about it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

It is best if you start with younger ones rather than adults though. I have a whole 10 of only males that I use for breeding. There has been up to 9 of them in there at one time. Sometimes they chase each other, but it has never gotten to the point where it was a problem. Like I said I think it is best you get the youngest ones you can find and try to get them all the same size. ![]() |

Apart from the psychological problems I may be causing ![]() The all female tank on the other hand is very sedate and calm. miskairal |
