Ever since Daniel and I moved from NJ to PA our guppies have not been breeding. At first we thought it was the initial stress of the move, but we now think between the stress of the move and the subtle differences in the water, the combination of the two has caused them to stop breeding.
I had one pregnant female who got what looked to be a hernia of sorts and did not make it.
It's a brackish tank - sg of 0.005 that houses guppys and a knight goby (poulation control). I am upset about the non-breeding for a couple of reasons....first and foremost...healthy guppies breed - end of story. 2nd reason, the babies provide live food for the knight goby. He has gotten much thinner, and while he will take the sinking meat pellet, he doesn't always eat all of it or any of it.
Today after work, I stopped by the LFS and got a male/female pair. Hopefully with the introduction of new "blood" I can kickstart the whole breeding process again.
