EDIT: If you don't want babies why don't you get all males? I would say you would be able to have around 6-8 of them in a 10 gallon Last edited by Ethan14 at 18-Aug-2005 21:36

ronnfive Enthusiast Posts: 188 Kudos: 219 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Jul-2004	2 options for guppies: 1. 2m/4f guppies without plants or hiding places, so that their fry will be eaten. 2. 6m guppies with plants so that they can nibble on algae that grows on plants. IMPO, i'd like to go to number two. GUDLUCK!

keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	importfan878 I just answered that question in another one of you postings. I still cannot see your reasoning of getting FMs when you dont want the babies at all. Can you please explain you reasons for doing this as it has got me completly confused why you are wanting to do this at all.

Ethan14 Big Fish Posts: 312 Kudos: 339 Votes: 18 Registered: 06-Jul-2005	male guppies are only "aggressive" when there are more males than females in the tank because they are always harassing the females trying to get them to mate which can stress out the females. If you don't have any females you won't have to worry about that.
