Hi, i'm currently breeding guppies for trade with my lfs. I've heard that they grow a bit quicker with a higher temperature. Is this true??. Anyone know the ideal temp. All advice/opinions welcome and appreciated.... Ian

Cheers B, i currently have them in a 2.5ltr trap in my 55g at 26 C(79F). Got a 45ltr and 70ltr. I just picked up the 70l tonight, so i'm debating whether to put my adult guppies(5f/3m) in that and use the 45l for the fry. I could do it the other way either. I currently have 45-50 fry(2wk) in the 2.5l trap. I need about 80-100 fry a month.... What do you reckon??
I know about the ratio, just can't get any decent size females in my area at the moment....
