Hi All

I am looking into the effects of high fat diet on "fatty liver" in guppies. Any insights on the matter would be greatly appreciated especially if you've seen your fish suffer/die after prolonged periods of giving them high fat feed.

Thanks!
 
The males ill get big stomachs. Other than that, no reason to orry about the effects of high cholestrol in a fish.
Unless e plan to someay preform open heart surgery on guppies.
 
Thanks for that Matt
I am less inclined to preform an open heart surgery but I have looked at the fat contents and microscopic histology sections in the liver. What I was interested to know was if some of the more experienced guppy breeders have seen a change in health, survival or fecundity as a result of changing to a more fatty diet (for the fish that is).

Thanks
