Guppy Breeding Tank

Ok here is my new tank. I only have guppies at the moment.

what size tank do you have them in?

The tank is about 40 gallons with one snail, about seven Guppies (half female), four fry and lastly one algae eating fish.

great size, but you deff need at least 2 females per male... I have like 6 females and one male, but you don't need that many haha. you have plenty of room though. It looks really really nice. I'd reccomend more plants and decorations so all the ittybitty fries can hide

If your trying to breed them as soon as you see a females pregnant you need to put her in that breeding box thing or you will lose a majority of the fry . I had one that had a little bit over 30 fry

breeding trap always kills my female after a couple days. Iv lost four females in 2 weeks because of it. Its a three in one plastic with a v shaped bottom.

You are much better to stuff your tank with lots of fine-leaved live plants for the fry to hide in, as Val mentioned above. Breeding boxes - as you've learned - sometimes cause too much stress on the pregnant mother.
Good luck!
