Answers:

Beef heart is good for long life, and regular water changes. Buy a fresh beef heart, cut out all the tough tissues and puree the rest in a blender with water. Freeze the result flat in a Ziploc baggie and break off bits for feeding once or twice a week.

Earthworm flakes are good for large numbers of fry. Fortunately, they sell flakes of it at pet stores.

Lots of water changes, frozen baby brine shrimp and egg yolk boiled in water and put through the blender are also good for fry.

Frozen peas thawed, popped out of their skins, and cut into bite sized pieces, and slices of cucumber are also good for them.

Female guppies can store sperm for six months, so they are pretty much always pregnant. Development of fry is dependent on water conditions, but they are capable of having fry every 28 days.

Um.at Petsmart they put I think it's cucumber in there tanks. Ask a vet or a fish person at a pet store.

I've never heard of fish eating fruits and vegtables but maybe they can. Ask a vet.

Guppies are very sensative to Ph balance in their water. If the Ph levels change, teh gupies feel a little trauma and act lethargic. And it's not uncommon for all of the females in a school to hatch fry at the same time, so she may be pregnant. As for getting them to live longer, I can't help you there. Good Luck!

i've never heard of guppies eating veggies . but placos & other bottom feeders do . check your water readings . make sure you are doing regular water changes . also make sure your tank isn't over stocked .

Which question do you really want answered? Feed your guppies regular fish food from the pet store. Keep some type of thick artificial plants in your aquarium for the babies to hide in or the adults will eat them. Check your ph levels to make sure the water isn't too acid or too alkaline. Keep the temperature steady and don't let the aquarium get too cold or too hot.

The first thing to do is replace 25% of the water. Whenever fish aren't acting quite right it's just a good thing to do. A water change lowers waste toxins and infectious organisms that could be bothering them, as well as giving their immune system a boost from the fresh clean water. Make sure the new water is the same temperature as the old water and add a good water conditioner to the tank before refilling the tank with the new water. All tanks need a 25% water change every week to keep the fish in good health.
