Hubby's pet

This is hubby's guppies. The two long tails are male guppies and the fat one is the female guppy. The male has long colourful tail compare to the female. The female has a big tummy(especially when it is pregnant) with short tail. I have lots of the baby fries in another pot. Got pic too but not very clear. Oh yes, when you see the baby fries, make sure you separate them from the parents cos they will eat the fries.
Got this pic somewhere in the net. Isn't it cute? Not bad le...

Another pic that I found from the net. A better and clearer pic for Charl to know better what is guppies. Can you tell me which is female and male?

Of course lar.. the male always the colourful one. Find guppies that have darker colour with long fin and tail. Find the one that swim fast fast and like to 'attack' the female guppies. For the females, find the one with rounder body and big tummy means that you will see baby fries soon when you put the male and female together. Make sure you have water plants in your aquarium for the fries to hide themselves from their parents.

Instead of guppies, red swordtails are very nice too.

Hubby's red swordtails in our water lily pot. There are lots of babies swordtails too.. hiding behind the water plants.
The male swordtail has a very long tail and looks like a sword and the female does not have that. Only a short tail and rounder body. Make sure you find the female with a long body and rounder tummy. The rounder the better. It means that it will breed soon. For the male, find the one that can swim faster and has long swordtail. Hubby likes the one that 'attack' the female. Oh yes.. for swordtail, find the one with pure red colour. The redder the better. Don't want the one with black tail (except the male - the male swordtail has a little bit of black colour). That is not the pure breed.

Let see what you like. No doubt goldfish will looks nicer but you can try this two fishes. Make sure you buy the right fish food and you will see them grow very fast. This two kind of fish can live without oxygen and filter. Easy to keep.
