			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you figured out how to tell when your pregnant guppy is in labor, and now the big day has finally come! But now you have to know how to care for your guppy when she is having babies.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/how-to-care-for-your-guppy-when-she-is-having-fry.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-349" src="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/how-to-care-for-your-guppy-when-she-is-having-fry.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>First off, get her away from other fish. As you now know, adult guppy fish eat baby guppy fish, so if your pregnant guppy drops her fry in a tank with other adult guppies, there is little hope unless you have a LOT of live plants and hiding spots.</p>
<p>This is my strategy for guppy births: I use a breeder box that has two main compartments; an upper compartment where the mamma guppy goes and a lower compartment where the guppy fry drop down into once born. The floor of the upper compartment is shaped like a “V” with a slit down the very bottom. The slit is too small for the mamma guppy to go through, but it is perfect for baby guppies. You see, when guppy fry are born their swim bladders are not filled with air yet, so unless they swim really hard they will just sink down to the bottom. That is why the “V” shape is great because the newly born baby guppy fish will slide down the slope to the opening and fall through to their own little area.</p>
<p>You have three options for breeder boxes here. You can buy a breeder box with an open bottom and put the box (with the mamma in it) into a baby tank (this is what I usually do) so that the babies once born can fall through the slit and down into their very own little baby tank. This method does not need special ventilation or oxygenation because the water in the tank can circulate in the box.</p>
<p>You can also get an enclosed breeder box so that when the guppy fry are born they fall down into a separate area below that is closed off from the rest of the tank. If you use this method you can put the breeder box in a tank with adults because the babies can not get out and the adult guppy fish can not get in. This type of box comes with an aeration hookup that also works as a pump so the fish inside get oxygenated water. Usually the air pump is sold separately so remember that.</p>
<p>Lastly, you can buy a breeder net. A breeder net is a little square or rectangular frame with netting around the outside. You can put your mamma guppy inside it, but there is no separate compartment for the guppy babies to drop down into, so you need to take the mom out within a few hours of her giving birth to all her fry or she might eat them (See Are Guppy Fish Cannibals?). You can put a breeder net in the same tank with adult guppy fish because the netting is too small for them to get in or out. You also do not need to aerate a breeder net because the tank water can flow through the netting.</p>
<p>When the mamma fish is in labor, make sure your temperature is warm; about 80 degrees is what I use for my mamma fish. This will help her muscles relax and her birth will be a bit easier.</p>
<p>Remember that a pregnant guppy fish is extremely susceptible to stress when she is in labor. Keep the tank environment as calm as possible, don’t move her about a lot, and try your best not to startle or scare her by making vibrations or approaching the tank quickly. An itty bitty pinch of aquarium salt can be helpful to calm her, just make sure you read the dosage on the aquarium salt container.</p>
<p>Now you know what to do and how to care for her when your pregnant guppy fish is in labor. By keeping your fish from becoming stressed and providing a quiet, safe place for her to drop her fry, you are doing everything right to ensure a healthy batch of guppy fry and a flourishing guppy mom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is official- your guppy fish is pregnant! Now what? Well there are a few things you need to do to make sure that your pregnant guppy and her soon-to-be babies are all healthy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/how-to-care-for-your-pregnant-guppy.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-342" src="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/how-to-care-for-your-pregnant-guppy.jpg" alt="" width="1022" height="765" /></a></p>
<p>The first one is diet. You need to be sure that your pregnant guppy has a well- balanced diet. I always have several different types of food next to my tanks (see Guppy Diet) because feeding your pregnant guppy the same thing all the time will be a good way to give her a nutrient deficiency or make her abort or absorb her young. Some good types of food to use for variety are:<br />
* Flake food<br />
* Tiny pellets<br />
* Algae discs<br />
* Tubifex worms<br />
* Bloodworms<br />
* Krill<br />
* Brine shrimp<br />
* Daphnia<br />
See my article on Guppy Diet for lots more info on guppy diet variety.</p>
<p>The second thing you need to do (although doing this with all your guppies is a good thing) is make sure your pregnant guppy does not get all stressed out. Make sure there are no troublemakers in the tank, that she has at least one little place to hide if she wants to, and that she is not getting violently pestered by males. You should already by this point know what type of water conditions guppies need to live in, so make sure your ammonia, nitrite, phosphate, etc. levels are not stressing her out either. If she is getting stressed out by all the other fish, put her in a divided area of the tank, or give her her own little tank (Important! Make sure the tank is cycled and has a filter and a heater, you can’t just flop her in a bowl and call it good).</p>
<p>Third, make sure your tank environment is what it should be for guppy fish. Keep the heat between 75 and 82, make sure the water is clean (water changes!) and free of lots of bacteria and parasites, make sure there is no chlorine in your tank, make sure the fish are not overcrowded, and as I mentioned above, ensure that the water quality is good. A little bit of aquarium salt can help guppy stress too, but do not add too much, or the fish will die. Each pack has its own instructions, but the general dose is 1 tablespoon per every 5 gallons of water.</p>
<p>If you do these things you are set to become a guppy godparent without much trouble at all, because guppies are like the rabbits of the fish world, they breed like mad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am extremely obsessed with aquirium fish and aquirium lifestyle normally. Over 10 a long time in reality! Far more essential, during these 10 many years, I&#8217;ve uncovered numerous ideas, tactics and secrets and techniques about Breeding aquirum fish that quite few folks seem to know.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/guppy-blue-tail.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-309" src="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/guppy-blue-tail.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></a><br />
I&#8217;ve just completed placing all these suggestions, techniques and secrets and techniques into a new guide that may show you how to have stunning aquariums stuffed with Guppy fish..Guppy fish that &#8220;YOU Designed,&#8221; without having investing a lot of money and perhaps even Generating A Revenue! And it&#8217;s called, just&#8230;</p>
<p>Kind of an uncommon title is not it? Nevertheless, it is extremely proper. You see, while Guppy fish are explained to become one of many easiar fishes to care and breed for some purpose a great number of men and women even now do not understand how to breed Guppy Fish successfully. Why is? I will not feel it&#8217;s because people are as well dumb to do it. What I feel is the fact that they just by no means had the right resources to show them how! This is exactly why I&#8217;ve written this guide! I informed you I adore Aquirium Fish. Guppies are referred to as the Million fish with Million varities to get a reason! I feel they may be gorgeous. They are vibrant, colorful, residing pieces of art correct in your house!</p>
<p>I love sharing my &#8216;masterpieces&#8217; to my family and friends. Breeding Guppy fish is often a blast!</p>
<p>But I believe the biggest reward of owning Guppy Fish&#8230; and no one talks about this&#8230; is how calming it could be!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s tranquil, zen, serene.</p>
<p>With every one of the strain in our busy lives it is good to get slightly sanctuary. There?¡¥s definitely nothing like relaxing into your favored chair, gazing into your spectacular aquariums at these attractive fish and letting your head take you away.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s almost hypnotic.</p>
<p>The vivid shades &#8230;. the graceful movements &#8230; you&#8217;re feeling soothed as you breathe deeply &#8230; a sense of calm wafts more than your body ?- your thoughts start to linger ?- as you drift absent &#8230;</p>
<p>See what I indicate!</p>
<p>You can escape.</p>
<p>Even if its just for any fleeting second. You always come back again renewed, rejuvinated and oh&#8230; so&#8230; relaxed.</p>
<p>When you think about it, with every one of the great issues about owning and Breeding Guppies, who wouldn?¡¥t want a single?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll tell you who! Folks that have had poor good results within the previous, simply because they started devoid of the right resources to assist them on the appropriate track. What to accomplish. What not to do. We all want these ideas and tricks that those just before us obtained it correct. Why try to re-invent the wheel or jump in blindly should you don&#8217;t have to.</p>

<p>One of the most popular <span style="color: blue">freshwater aquarium</span> fish is the <span style="color: blue">guppy</span>. Guppies are noted for having colors and patterns that are very unique and beautiful. No two guppies are exactly alike. Guppies are fascinating to watch, and they are remarkably easy and enjoyable to care for.</p>
</div>
<p><a href="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/guppy-fish-care.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-296" src="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/guppy-fish-care.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="461" /></a></p>
<p>According to information provided in the website &#8220;Guppies.com&#8221;, guppies are a species of fish related to the Pike. This publication provides the following information on the origination of the guppy. It says the guppy is a member of the Poedciliidae family. Wild guppies are found in Barbados, Trinidad, Guyana, and the northern part of Brazil. Wild guppies are also found in the United States, in the state of Florida. This small, freshwater fish usually lives in clear tropical waters, but they can also survive in <span style="color: blue">brackish</span>water.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The website publication entitled &#8220;Guppy Care&#8221;, written by Llyn Hutchins in 1996, details the differences between male and female guppies. It says female guppies are much larger than males, and they have dull colored bodies with brighter colors enhancing the tail. Male guppies are brilliantly colored, and the pattern and color possibilities are endless. &#8220;Guppies.com&#8221; says a guppie&#8217;s beautiful hues develop from very tiny spots of color known as melanophores. The amount and location of the melanophores determines the varying patterns and colors of the guppy. In addition to color and size differences, &#8220;Guppy Care&#8221; says male guppies can be identified by longer tails and tail fins.</p>
<p>The International Fancy Guppy Association website article entitled &#8220;IFGA Guppy Tips&#8221; gives specific aquarium and water requirements for guppies. These recommendations are listed as follow. It suggests the use of a ten gallon aquarium or larger for guppies two months of age or older. For baby guppies, a five and one half gallon tank is sufficient. It is a good idea to have more than one tank so male and female guppies can be kept separate. Doing so will prevent poorer quality male guppies from breeding and reproducing, and separation will prevent unwanted babies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Proper aquarium maintenance is important in keeping fish healthy and disease-free. Approximately twenty percent of <span style="color: blue">the aquarium</span>water should be siphoned out and replaced once a week. Siphoning water from the bottom of the tank is important since removing water from just the surface does not get rid of debris. Most pet stores sell siphons that vacuum out waste and leftover food from the aquarium bottom.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The recommended pH level of the aquarium water needs to be between 6.8 and 7.6. The most desirable range is between 7.0 and 7.2. Kits to test and adjust the pH level of the aquarium water are available in most pet stores. Taking time to check pH levels is an important part of maintaining a healthy tank for your guppies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to &#8220;Guppies.com&#8221;, baby <span style="color: blue">brine shrimp</span> are a high protein favorite of the guppy. These tiny eggs can be hatched at home and fed as a supplement to flake <span style="color: blue">fish food</span>. They should not be fed exclusively because they are mostly protein and do not contain other required nutrients. The same article says baby brine shrimp eggs are available in most <span style="color: blue">aquarium supply</span> stores.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another popular guppy food mentioned by &#8220;Guppies.com&#8221; are white worms. These little worms are often found under stones and in decaying plant matter along the Atlantic coast. Various species of white worms are also commercially bred in refrigerated units that maintain a temperature between 45 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The same article recommends keeping white worms alive with a diet of cracker crumbs, bread crumbs, or powdered milk.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Guppy Care&#8221; recommends providing guppies with several small feedings each day as opposed to one large feeding. This is especially important if there are baby guppies in the tank. Adult guppies that are not getting enough food may eat the babies. The article also mentions that feeding more often will ensure baby guppies are getting the proper nutrition for growth and development.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With regular aquarium cleaning and maintenance, guppies will remain healthy. They are a pleasure to own and add a lot of beauty to an aquarium. Breeding and caring for guppies is a great hobby that can be very rewarding. It is no wonder why guppies are one of the most popular freshwater <span style="color: blue">aquarium fish</span>.</p>

<p>If you own fish or are thinking of getting them, consider what it takes to care for them and the expenses of a really good and nice looking <span style="color: blue">fish tank</span>. Cleaning out a fish tank and its contents, otherwise known as siphoning, is not a glamorous thing. In fact, it&#8217;s a chore that sometimes requires the work of two people.</p>
</div>
<p><a href="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/taking-care-fish.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-293" src="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/taking-care-fish.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="220" /></a></p>
<p>Fish can make wonderful and beautiful pets. They are especially easy to care for, but you have to be careful at times. If one fish gets a virus&#8211;they all die and you&#8217;re left with no fish and a depressingly empty fishtank. If you want to care for your fish in the best way possible, use the following advice.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If You&#8217;re Purchasing Fish</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re purchasing fish, the best thing to do is start getting as much information as possible from a really informative salesperson at the pet store. Usually, they are pretty helpful and can direct you to exactly all of the supplies and things you will need to purchase your fish and fish essentials. Make sure you buy the right <span style="color: blue">fish food</span>for the type <span style="color: blue">of fish</span> you&#8217;ve purchased. It might be nice to add some color and texture to your fishtank with some <span style="color: blue">fish displays</span> and fake underwater &#8220;things&#8221;.</p>
<p>Fish Essentials</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The essentials you will need to cover the entire fish purchasing process would include: various fish, fish tank and stand (probably the most expensive items), fish food, fish displays/props, a siphoning tool, real rocks to cover the bottom of the tank, and perhaps some colored stones and rocks for looks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If You Already Have Fish</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you already have fish, you probably know the routine. Siphoning out the fish tank every month is not a fun chore. But, it must be done for the survival of your precious fish. For starters, get a partner.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Steps to Siphon Out Your Fish Tank</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. Buy a tool that is used for siphoning. Usually, it is a two-piece instrument that sucks water out of one area and puts it into another. Obviously, with a full fish tank, you cannot simply take it and dump the water out into the sink or toilet&#8211;tanks are too clumsy for that; this is why you have to siphon the water out. It&#8217;s almost like a vacuum, except the water and dirt goes down the drain. It must be all done by hand. *Cart your tank over to the sink or try to perform this task outdoors, if possible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. After 50% of the water is siphoned out, scoop out rocks from bottom of tank (You don&#8217;t want to remove all of the water or you may run into &#8220;new tank syndrome&#8221;). Sift the rocks individually with a sifter or macaroni drainer. This way, you clean the debris from the rocks and may reuse them, instead of putting in new rocks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3. After the rocks are all out, clean and scrape all debris, algae, and dirt from the insides of the tank walls; allow to dry. DO NOT use bleach or other cleaning fluids inside the tank.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4. Put back rocks; add <span style="color: blue">fresh water</span>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>*Note: It may help to have a rolling cart that you may move the fish tank with, as sometimes, the really large tanks are very difficult to handle. Hence, the &#8220;partner&#8221; idea.</p>

There are many species of fish giving birth not only child care but also their children eat, which is common in some breeds guppies. So many breeders breed see more fish but do not see me grow up.<br />
Under the guidance of the Centre for Extension &#8211; Extension City, reproductive breeding guppies should be noted: the early stages after birth, the parents are very easy to attack young fish. So in the tank, breeding guppies, so designated &#8220;safe point&#8221; for the juveniles as more grid. Using nylon nets, net charge, fine, small mesh. This nets the fish pass through, stop holding the parents at the lake the rest, completely separate from the fish. Nets are fixed to timber frame, timber frame design width (width) of each tank.</p>
<p>Place the grid on the tank, the tank divided into two parts, can leave 1 / 3 is where the fish live, 2 / 3 the rest is where the parents live. Or you can use plastic basket, diameter 10 to 15 cm, with relatively small holes to prevent the parents.</p>
<p>Drop the basket over the water tank, the fry will &#8220;drift&#8221; into the basket to find shelter, hiding while the parents are not to be. You can also use the grid, the surface tension from 50 to 10 cm, limiting the parents go through, because the fish usually live near water. In some places, nets rolled up, drop the lake, as shelter for juveniles. In addition, fish, collect, transfer fish to a tank is a positive solution. But easy to shock fish habitat due to sudden change. Want a stable environment, to prepare the previous few days, note the water level, temperature, acidity, oxygen &#8230; These factors allow no more than 10% difference between the old and new environments. In addition to the above measures, during growout parents, stage parents are breeding, to complement the food, make sure the parents are not hungry. Always keep the environment stable, quiet, avoiding the sudden shock, the sound &#8230; are measures to reduce losses newborn guppies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/Beginners.htm">freshwater fish beginner</a> we would not recommend a small fish tank setup to start out with  tropical fish.  The reason being because it is more difficult to keep  the water parameters stable in a smaller volume of water.  A small tank  also drastically reduces the types of fish you can keep.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Small-Fish-Tank-Setup-Kits.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-240" title="Small Fish Tank Setup Kits" src="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Small-Fish-Tank-Setup-Kits.jpeg" alt="" width="225" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>However, many do start with just a small fish tank, so we want to give  you a list of items to use with your small aquarium so that you can  increase your chances for success in tropical fishkeeping.</p>
<p>Below is a typical start-up kit for a small 2 gallon mini-bow  aquarium.  It comes with a lighted hood, a small packet of sample fish  food, an undergravel filter and a small air pump.  You will need to get  some other items as well for your aquarium.  As mentioned previously, a  small tank can be more work than a large tank because you really have to  stay on top of those water changes to prevent the small aquarium from  becoming too polluted. Here is a list of the bare minimum things to have  for any small aquarium:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>A couple of replacement media cartridges and small filter.</li>
<li>Substrate ( gravel)</li>
<li>Small aquarium vacuum</li>
<li>Fish Food</li>
<li>Small fish net</li>
<li>Aquarium water test kit (Get a test kit that tests the ph, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels)</li>
<li>5 gallon bucket</li>
<li>Small aquarium air pump (used in conjunction with the filter)</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>STEP 1:  Realize the responsibility involved.</strong><br />
Learning how to set up a fish tank is not all that difficult, but there  are some steps you should follow. First, you must realize a few things  about an aquarium setup.   A tropical fish tank is just like having a  dog or a cat when it comes to the amount of effort on your part.  In  order to have a successful freshwater tropical fish tank you will have  to work at it.  Once a week, or at most once every two weeks, you will  need to perform some kind of maintenance on the tank.  Most of the time  you will be performing water changes.  You will also have to feed your  fish at least once a day.  Setting up and running a fish tank does cost  money.  There are recurring expenses such as replacing filter media,  buying food, etc.  Check out the <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/saltwatervsfreshwater.htm">Freshwater vs. Saltwater Aquarium</a> page to get an idea of the setup costs involved.   If you are up to the challenge, please proceed!</p>
<p><strong>STEP 2:  Decide on an aquarium size.</strong><br />
It&#8217;s a good idea to  have in mind what kind of fish you want to keep before you purchase an  aquarium.  Some fish only grow to be an inch or two, whereas other types  of tropical fish can grow 12 or 13 inches or more in length!    Knowing  what kind of fish you want will help you decide the size of the tank  they will need.  If this is your first time with an aquarium, it may be a  good idea to start with a 10 or 20 gallon aquarium setup for now and  stock it with some smaller and hardier species.</p>
<p><strong>STEP 3:  Decide on the aquarium&#8217;s location.</strong><br />
Place your  aquarium in an area where the light and temperature of the tank won&#8217;t be  affected	by external sources such as windows and heater vents.   Sunlight that enters the room through an unshaded window could affect  the temperature of your tank.  This could also lead to <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/CloudyWater.htm">green algae</a> problems for your tank down the road.  You will want to place your  aquarium on a stand that will be able to hold its total weight.  You  also want to be sure that the floor is able to support the total weight  of the aquarium and stand.  A good rule of thumb for determining the  total weight of a full aquarium is 10 pounds per gallon of water.  For  example, a 55-gallon tank will weigh approximately 550 pounds when  filled with water!</p>
<p><strong>STEP 4:  Buy your aquarium and equipment.</strong><br />
Now is a good time  to decide on the type of aquarium filter you will want to use.  You  will also need to purchase a heater capable of heating the tank size you  have.  Buy the gravel, plants, a power strip and other decorations.  A  good rule of thumb for the amount of gravel that you will need is 1 to  1.5 pounds of gravel per gallon of water.</p>
<p><strong>STEP 5:  Set up your aquarium and stand.</strong><br />
Wash out your tank  with water only!  Do not use soap or detergents.  Soap residue left  behind will be harmful for your tropical fish.  If you are going to use  an under gravel filter (not recommended) now would be the time to set it  up as well.</p>
<p><strong>STEP 6:  Wash Gravel, plants and decorations.</strong><br />
Be sure to wash  the gravel thoroughly before adding it to your tank.  An easy way to do  this is to put some of the rocks in a pasta strainer and wash them out  in your bath tub.  Then place the clean gravel in a clean 5-gallon  bucket for transport to the aquarium.  After adding the gravel you can  place your plants and decorations.</p>
<p><strong>STEP 7:  Add water to the aquarium.</strong><br />
To avoid messing up your  gravel and plants, you can place a plate or saucer in the middle of  your aquarium	and direct the water flow onto the plate.   Use room  temperature water when filling.  To remove the <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/fishdictionary/c.htm">chlorine and chloramine</a>,  use something like Tetra AquaSafe for Aquariums.  Don&#8217;t completely fill  up the aquarium until you are sure of the layout of your decorations.   Otherwise, when you place your arm in to move stuff around water is  going to spill over.  Doh!</p>
<p><strong>STEP 8:  Set up equipment.</strong><br />
Install your heater but don&#8217;t  plug it in until the thermostat in the heater has adjusted to the water  temperature. This usually takes about 15 minutes or so.  Hook up your  filter and any other equipment you have, then top off the 	aquarium  water to just under the hood lip. Place your hood and <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/aquarium_light.htm">tank light</a> on the aquarium and then check your power cords to be sure that they  are free of water.  I would also recommend using a drip loop on all of  the power cords to be extra cautious.  For more information on safety,  read this great article on <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/Articles/ElectricalSafety.htm">aquarium electrical safety</a>.  Plug all of the equipment into a power strip and then &#8220;turn on&#8221; the aquarium.</p>
<p><strong>STEP 9.  Wait, wait, wait and then wait some more.</strong><br />
I know,  you want to add some fish.  But, in order to do this right you must wait  until your aquarium has cycled before adding any fish.  There are ways  of speeding up this process. Check out the nitrogen cycle page to learn  more about starting the nitrogen cycle and how to speed it up.  If you  must use fish to cycle, try to get a hardier species like the <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/Profiles-ZebraDanio.htm">zebra danio</a> or <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/Profiles-CherryBarbs.htm">cherry barb</a>.  You may notice your fish tank cycle kicking in gear if you start to get some <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/CloudyWater.htm">white cloudy aquarium water</a> after a few days.</p>
<p><strong>STEP 10.  Add tropical fish.</strong><br />
Only add one or two <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/TropicalFishProfiles.htm">fish</a> at a time.  Adding a couple fish at a time gives your filtration system the time needed to take on the increased <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/fishdictionary/b.htm#bioload">biological load</a> that the new fish introduce.  When you bring the fish home let the bag  float in the tank for about 15 minutes so that the fish can become <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/acclimating-tropicalfish.htm">acclimated</a> to the temperature and <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/fishdictionary/p.htm">pH</a> of the aquarium water.  After 5 minutes of floating the bag you should  add some of the aquarium water to the bag so that the fish can become  acclimated to the pH level in the aquarium.  This will help	reduce the  amount of stress imposed on the fish.  Stressed fish often leads to dead  or <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/Disease.htm">diseased fish</a>!   Don&#8217;t feed your fish on the first day.  They probably wouldn&#8217;t eat any  food on the first day anyway.  Let them get acquainted with their new  home.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in some good and hardy first fish, please read the <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/GoodFirstFish.htm">Good First Tropical Fish</a> article.</p>
<p><strong>STEP 11.  Get ready for regular maintenance.</strong><br />
Be prepared to spend some time once every week or two to clean your tank.  Performing regular water changes will reduce the <a href="http://www.fishlore.com/fishdictionary/n.htm#nitrate">nitrate levels</a> and keep your tropical fish happy and healthy.</p>
<p>As you can see, the steps for how to set up a fish tank are not that  complex and hopefully you now have your aquarium setup and running!   Have fun, take care of and enjoy your fish!</p>

<p><strong>Bể chứaNhững người mới bắt đầu thường cảm thấy chán chường khi nghe nói những người nhân giống cá dùng đến những hệ thống bể phức tạp với hơn 200 bể. Nhưng bạn không cần nhiều bể như vậy mới có thể nuôi được những chú guppy xinh đẹp. Bể có dung tích 10 gallon là thông dụng nhất, nhưng chủ yếu là phụ thuộc vào chỗ trống bạn còn. Thực tế, nếu bạn muốn trở thành 1 người nuôi guppy chuyên nghiệp, có thể cho ra những chú guppy &#8220;thiện chiến&#8221; thì bạn cần ít nhất 8 &#8211; 10 bể. Và để làm được như vậy thì bạn cũng đã phải trải qua 1 sự chọn lọc &#8211; loại bỏ rồi. Cứ tưởng tượng rằng 1 con guppy mái đẻ khoảng 30 &#8211; 50 cá con trong vòng 1 tháng, thì 200 bể cũng không phải là nhiều nếu như bạn giữ lại tất cả con cháu của chúng !</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #006400">Lọc nước</span></strong>Thông dụng nhất có lẽ là hệ thống lọc sử dụng bọt biển. Nó gồm 1 máy hút và 1 miếng bông lọc được đặt trong hộp để lọc các chất bẩn. Và bạn chỉ cần giặt nó trong nước ấm mỗi tuần 1 lần là đủ. Miếng bông lọc sẽ giữ tất cả rác thải ra trong hồ cá !<br />
<span style="color: #006400"><strong>Máy bơm không khí</strong></span><br />
Bạn cũng nên có 1 máy bơm khí cho những hồ cá của mình. Nó sẽ giúp không khí lưu thông, làm tăng lượng oxy trong nước, cá sẽ mau lớn hơn</p>
<p><span style="color: #006400"><strong>Ánh sáng</strong></span><br />
Nếu có nhiều bể, giải pháp tốt nhất là sử dụng 4 bóng đèn huỳnh quang hơn là phải thắp sáng cho từng bể riêng biệt. Ánh sáng nên được giữ 10 &#8211; 14 tiếng/ngày. Bạn nên mở đèn 1 giờ trước lần ăn đầu tiên và tắt đèn 1 giờ sau lần ăn cuối cùng</p>
<p><span style="color: #006400"><strong>Nước</strong></span><br />
Nước là yếu tố quan trọng nhất để nuôi guppy với số lượng lớn. Nếu bạn dùng nước máy, nên phơi ngoài nắng 1 ngày trước khi dùng để khí clo trong nước thoát ra hết. Trong trường hợp khẩn cấp, bạn cũng có thể thay nước cho hồ cá bằng nước máy chưa &#8220;phơi&#8221; nhưng phải cho sủi bọt trong hồ để khí clo thoát lên nhanh hơn</p>
<p>Amoniac, nguyên nhân số 1 dẫn đến cái chết cho lũ cá, gây ra bởi tình trạng nuôi cá quá đông trong 1 hồ, cho ăn quá nhiều dẫn đến thừa thức ăn, do nước xấu hay thiếu oxy..Nếu nghi ngờ có sự hiện diện của amoniac, bạn nên thay khoảng 1/3 nước hồ và cho sủi bọt thật nhiều</p>
<p>Độ cứng và độ pH cũng rất quan trọng. Guppy thích nước hơi cứng và độ pH từ 6.8 &#8211; 7.8 (tốt nhất là 7.0). Vì vậy mà bạn có thể nuôi chúng vô tư trong các hồ xi măng (và có vẻ chúng chỉ thực sự lớn và sinh sản khi được nuôi trong hồ xi măng). Tuyệt đối không được thay đổi đột ngột độ pH và độ cứng của nước, nếu không cá sẽ chết nhiều. Nếu bạn muốn thay đổi thì sự thay đổi này phải diễn ra một cách từ từ !</p>
<p><span style="color: #006400"><strong>Thay nước</strong></span><br />
Việc thay nước có thể tạo ra hoặc giết chết những con cá tuyệt đẹp. Việc loại bỏ phân và thức ăn thừa trong hồ cá là rất quan trọng. Những người nuôi cá thành công khuyên rằng bạn nên thay 30 &#8211; 40% lượng nước hàng tuần. Một số người thay nước hàng ngày với số lượng là 10% nước trong hồ. Việc này giúp cá bột lớn nhanh hơn và to hơn. Nó cũng làm giảm lượng amoniac</p>
<p><span style="color: #006400"><strong>Nhiệt độ</strong></span><br />
Guppy sống trong nhiệt độ từ 75 đến 82 độ F (tốt nhất là 78). Nếu trời lạnh, bạn có thể dùng cây sưởi để giữ nhiệt độ trong hồ được ổn định. Nếu có nhiều hồ, bạn có thể dùng bếp lò để sưởi</p>
<p><span style="color: #006400"><strong>Cho cá vào hồ sau khi mua</strong></span><br />
Việc đầu tiên cần làm sau khi mua cá là hãy thả chúng vào 1 cái hồ nhỏ và nhớ là dùng nguồn nước ở nơi mà bạn đã mua chúng (khi mua bạn nên xin thêm nhiều nước vào). Cứ 20 &#8211; 30 phút, bạn đổ thêm 1 ít nước lấy trong hồ nhà vào hồ nuôi tạm. Đến khi hồ tạm đầy khoảng 3/4, hút 1/2 nước ra khỏi hồ và thay bằng nước hồ nhà. Bạn cứ làm việc này 2 &#8211; 3 lần trong vòng 1 &#8211; 2 giờ. Lúc này, bạn có thể thả cá vào trong hồ nhà được rồi. Đừng lo lắng nếu anh lính mới cảm thấy sợ sệt và lẩn trốn ! Nếu chúng thấy hoảng sợ, đừng cho chúng ăn trong vòng 24 &#8211; 48 giờ. Nếu chúng có vẻ không ăn sau đó thì bạn cũng không nên cho thức ăn vào hồ vì việc này sẽ mau chóng làm bẩn nước hồ. Đừng lo lắng vì việc này là bình thường và có thể mất cả tuần để chú guppy mới bơi lượn và xử sự như những chú guppy bình thường khác</p>
<p><span style="color: #006400"><strong>Mẻ cá bột đầu tiên</strong></span><br />
Sau 4 &#8211; 6 tuần thì trò vui sẽ thực sự bắt đầu. Vào thời kì này, cá mái đã sẵn sàng đẻ con. Bạn nên vớt nó sang một bể nhỏ hơn, cho vào 1 chút rong để có chỗ cho cá con lẩn trốn&#8230;mẹ chúng. Khi cho ăn, bạn nên cho hơi nhiều thức ăn. Lí thuyết nói rằng khi được cho ăn, những chú cá con nên được bao quanh bởi thức ăn thay vì phải bơi đi tìm. Và bạn cũng nên nhớ cho cá mẹ ăn đầy đủ trong thời gian này để tránh hậu quả đáng tiếc có thể xảy ra. Sau khi cá mẹ đẻ hết, vớt nó trở về hồ cũ với &#8230; cá trống và tiếp tục nuôi lũ cá con trong bể nhỏ trong vòng 1 vài tuần</p>
<p><span style="color: #006400"><strong>Cho cá ăn</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #696969"><strong>Từ lúc mới đẻ đến 6 tuần :</strong></span> Cá bột nên được cho ăn tôm con mới nở. Bạn cũng nên cho vào hồ một ít muối. Việc này sẽ làm cá sống khỏe hơn và làm tôm con có thể sống lâu hơn. Sau 2 ngày, bạn có thể cho cá ăn thức ăn khô, nhớ là phải tán ra thật nhuyễn và nên dùng 1 loại thức ăn cố định thôi.</p>
<p><span style="color: #696969"><strong>Từ 6 tuần tuổi đến lúc trưởng thành: </strong></span>Việc cho ăn thích hợp và 1 khẩu phần cân bằng chính là chìa khóa để dẫn đến thành công, nếu bạn cho cá ăn không tốt thì sẽ chẳng có bàn thắng nào được ghi ! Một khẩu phần cân bằng phải thoả mãn mọi nhu cầu về chất dinh dưỡng của cá. Giai đoạn quan trọng nhất trong cuộc đời 1 chú guppy là 3 tháng đầu đời. Cho ăn không phù hợp trong 3 tháng này sẽ ảnh hưởng không tốt đến sự phát triển của cá sau này. Bạn nên cho cá ăn đơn giản, nhưng phải thường xuyên và đều đặn, nên cho ăn từ 6 &#8211; 8 lần/ngày. Một khẩu phần có sự thay đổi đa dạng giữa thực phẩm khô và tươi là rất cần thiết cho sự phát triển của cá. Hãy chắc rằng bạn đã tìm được loại thức ăn tốt nhất và đừng nên quá mặc cả trong chuyện này. Tôm con, trùn chỉ, lăng quăng, bo bo &#8230;là nguồn cung cấp protein động vật rất tốt. Tảo và salad có thể cho cá nguồn protein thực vật chúng cần. 2 loại thức ăn có zá trị nhất là trùn chỉ và tôm con. Một khẩu phần tốt nên bắt đầu bằng tôm con, sau đó cả ngày cho chúng ăn thức ăn khô, và kết thúc bằng một bữa trùn chỉ thịnh soạn trước khi đi ngủ.</p>
<p><span style="color: #696969">Cách nở trứng tôm :</span> Cho trứng tôm vào 1 chai nhỏ, chứa nước mặn (2 muỗng canh muối cho 1 lít nước) và cho sục khí liên tục trong vòng 18 &#8211; 20 giờ. Sau đó bạn có thể vớt tôm ra cho cá ăn. Tốt nhất là khi mua trứng tôm, nên hỏi kĩ người bán và &#8220;đọc kĩ hướng dẫn sử dụng trước khi dùng&#8221;</p>
<p>Hãy cố gắng cho cá ăn đều đặn nhiều bữa nhỏ mỗi ngày ( 2 trong số đó nên là thức ăn tươi). Không được cho ăn thừa và giữ cho đáy hồ được tự do khỏi thức ăn thừa. Nhiều người nuôi cá thả catfish (Corydoras) vào trong hồ để ăn thức ăn thừa. Vài người nghĩ rằng những con catfish này sẽ ăn cá con. Nếu bạn nghĩ vậy thì có thể chờ cá con lớn lên chút ít rồi thả chúng vào</p>
<p><span style="color: #006400"><strong>Gây giống cá</strong></span><br />
Khi bạn mua về 3 con cá (1 trống/2 mái), bạn có thể tạo ra 2 dòng cá song song nhau. Sau 1 vài lần nhân giống, sẽ có đủ sự khác biệt giữa các dòng và bạn có thể nhân chéo 2 dòng để giữ cho cá của bạn luôn khoẻ mạnh. Tất cả những người nuôi guppy cần phải biết cách lựa chọn cá. Nuối tất cả cá chung với nhau sẽ làm giống mau chóng bị thoái hoá.</p>
<p>Việc tách bầy và chọn lọc có hể thực hiện sau 6 tuần đầu. Lúc này bạn đã có thể phân biệt được đâu là cá trống, cá mái. Hãy tách những con trống và mái sang những bể riêng để tránh sự lai tạo ngoài ý muốn. Bạn cũng nên loại bỏ những con cá xấu, dị dạng hay yếu ra khỏi bầy. Và không nên để số lượng từ 10 &#8211; 20 con cá trong 1 bể nhỏ 10 gallon. Mật độ cá nên ở mức 1 con/1 gallon để đạt được sự phát triển tối đa. Thời điểm để chọn giống cá cũng còn phụ thuộc vào giống cá bạn đang nuôi. vd: cá màu đỏ, xanh lá cây, xanh da trời lớn nhanh và có thể được lựa chọn sau 3 tháng. Ngược lại, những con cá màu vàng hay trắng mất nhiều thời gian hơn để trưởng thành, do đó bạn phải chờ 4 &#8211; 5 tháng để có thể tiến hành việc chọn lựa</p>
<p><span style="color: #696969">[b]Lựa chọn cá trống:[b]</span> Để lựa chọn cá trống, bạn thực hiện các bước sau:<br />
1. Chọn ra con lớn nhất trong bầy. Hãy chọn những con có cuống đuôi to, dày, vì chúng có thể mang được những chiếc đuôi to</p>
<p>2. Chọn những con có đuôi hình tam giác. Chọn những con dài lưng (lưng có hình bình hành, tròn ở góc)</p>
<p>3. Lưng và đuôi nên trùng màu hay hoạ tiết</p>
<p>4. Loại bỏ những con cá có xương sống uốn cong, đầu phẳng hay những con có màu sắc không đẹp</p>
<p>Khi thực hiện theo các bước này, bạn sẽ chọn được cho mình những con cá tốt nhất để tiếp tục phát triển, và nên nhớ rằng mật độ cá không được quá 1 gallon 1 con</p>
<p><span style="color: #696969"><strong>Lựa chọn cá mái</strong></span>: Những con cá mái thường được lựa chọn sau 4-5 tháng. Các bước tiến hành như sau:<br />
1. Chọn những con to nhất, có cuống đuôi to và dày, những con này sẽ đẻ ra những chú cá đẹp nhất</p>
<p>2. Chọn những con có lưng to nhất và rộng nhất có thể có</p>
<p>3. Và nên chọn ra những con có màu sắc đẹp hơn</p>
<p>Chọn ra 2 con cá mái đẹp nhất và 1 con trống đẹp nhất cho vào 1 bể 2 &#8211; 5 gallon. Việc sử dụng 1 con trống sẽ giúp bạn dễ nhận biết được những đặc tính mà con trống truyền lại cho con của nó, nhờ đó bạn có thể tìm những con trống tốt nhất. Nếu những con mái không có thai trong vòng 2 tháng, hãy thêm vào bể 1 con cá trống khác. Bể nhỏ sẽ giúp cá trống dễ &#8220;tìm thấy&#8221; cá mái hơn</p>
<p><span style="color: #006400"><strong>Các cách lai giống</strong></span><br />
Đầu tiên, hãy chọn giống thuần chủng. Đây là lời khuyên hữu hiệu nhât cho những người muốn sớm đạt đến thành công. Bạn chỉ có thể đạt được những con cá loại này qua các mối quan hệ thân quen với mấy người bán cá. Những con cá mua ngoài tiệm thường khó đạt được những con cá đẹp hơn. Đây là một vài cách để tạo giống:</p>
<p><span style="color: #696969"><em>Lai gần:</em></span> Cho những con trong họ hàng lai với nhau. vd: anh với em gái, mẹ với con trai, cha với con gái</p>
<p><span style="color: #696969"><em>Lai cùng dòng:</em></span> Lai những con cá có chung họ hàng nhưng là họ hàng xa</p>
<p><span style="color: #696969"><em>Lai khác dòng:</em></span> Lai những con cá khác dòng nhưng thích hợp với nhau. Bạn có thể mua hai con cá có màu giống nhau ở 2 tiệm cá khác nhau&#8230;</p>

<h1><strong><span style="font-size: 13px">“Shimmies” or “clamped fins” is not a disease in itself, but rather a symptom of disease or fish stress. Because it can have so many different causes like columnaris or the different forms of flukes, this entry in the wiki is meant to provide a general description of this condition.</span></strong></h1>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 13px"><a href="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Diagnosis_guppy.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-173" src="http://www.cabaymau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Diagnosis_guppy-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a><br />
</span></strong></p>
</div>
<h1>Symptoms and Behavioral Signs</h1>
<p>A guppy has clamped fins that it holds close to its body, and its caudal find is folded. It hangs near the surface, relatively immobile. It may shimmy or swim somewhat erratically. The following symptoms may selectively appear:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fins clamped</li>
<li>Guppy shimmies</li>
<li>Fish is shy or hiding</li>
<li>Fish lack appetite</li>
<li>Fish is still or inactive</li>
</ul>
<p>These symptoms can describe a variety of parasitic diseases that can only be properly identified with a microscope. The problem with treating shimmies or clamped fins without knowing the cause is that you may subject the guppies to chemical stress or adversely affect the water conditions.</p>
<h1>Causative Condition</h1>
<p>High ammonia, nitrite or nitrate levels in the tank. Low oxygen levels. High level of organic waste in the tank. pH levels out of range (less than 7.0 or more than 8.4) or a recent sudden change in the pH, temperature or hardness levels. If the problem is confined to one or several tanks, the chances are that the nitrogen cycle is out of whack in those selected tanks. This may be due to overfeeding or to a mechanical failure in the filtration system. If the symptoms appear after a period of stability, and they appear in more than one tank, and there has been no recent introduction of new guppies to the community, you can probably assume that the guppies have been overfed.</p>
<h1>Diagnosis</h1>
<p>If the fish are scratching or flashing it is an indication of irritation of their skin, and could be due to external parasites. If the fish are swimming erratically, it is probably a parasitic disease. Examine the fish for any other signs of abnormalities or disease. If clamped fins are the only symptom, then it is probable water conditions are bad. If they are hanging near the surface, and there is not other signs of disease, than it is probably poor water quality.</p>
<p>Look on the bottom of the tank. Do you see a lot of mulm compared to other tanks? Is there uneaten food on the bottom? Is the water cloudy? Are the filters clogged? Is the filter water flow restricted? These are signs of overfeeding or the failure of the nitrogen cycle.</p>
<p>Check your food supply. Does it smell bad?</p>
<p>Check the water parameters. If the chemistry in your tank is not suitable for guppies, correct the situation, following the steps outlined in the next section.<br />
Another sign is the specificity of the disease. Some strains of guppies are more susceptible to clamping or shimmying than others. Our recommendation is to delete the strain from your genetic pool. If you cannot do this, outcross it.</p>
<h1>Treatment</h1>
<p>I don&#8217;t recommend medications for this condition because it can be do to so many different causes and disease organisms. However if the condition persists, try the 3 Step Treatment Program just to eliminate the usual parasitic suspects. However, the longterm fix is to feed the guppies high quality fish food, do regular water changes and maintain healthy biological filtration.</p>
