Aquarium Advice Addict
I want to add more fish to my 29 gallon. Right now I only have two mollies, ghost shrimp, blue pearl shrimp, and mystery snails. I want a small, colorful schooling fish. I am leaning towards neon tetras but I recently saw some scissor tail guppies that I really liked. I have stayed away from guppies because I don't want to be overrun with fry. If I can sell them to the local pet place for feeders or something that might work. I haven't talked to the owner yet about it. She is going to buy my extra mystery snails though. Possibly shrimp too depending on how they breed. I checked out her fish and she had some amazing looking guppies. They were listed as fancy guppies and had the most amazing colors I have ever seen. Never seen guppies that colorful. Of course most of what I have seen where ones people where trying to give me because they had breed like rabbits. LOL
I was thinking about male only guppies but how to you sex a guppy? I have two female mollies and one male. The adult female molly is in her own tank right now because of some health problems. My two young mollies haven't breed yet. One is male and one is female. Only two surviving fry from my original two female adults. Is there anything I could add to the tank to control fry population that wouldn't eat the shrimp? I really wish someone would come up with a way to sterilize live bearers.
