Hello All,
I'm looking into breeding my feeder guppies to feed to my Garter-snake. I've heard some places that it's a good idea to have a separate tank, and put a couple of females in with a male to spawn. I've also heard of having two separate tanks- one for males, one for females- and adding a couple males in with the females when I want to breed them. Is there an easier way to go about this?
Should I have a separate tank specifically for the fry so they aren't eaten? How many males-females should I have? I heard around 1m/2f? Can I keep them in the same tank? So many questions!
I'm brand-new to this (if you couldn't already tell! ), and I'm almost completely clueless. Researching this topic has brought a little clarity to the picture, but I'm hoping there might be a few more specific answers here.
Thank you!
