Hi all,
My son was just gifted 3 male guppies for his birthday! Yikes!
I quickly ran out and bought a 3 1/2 gal tank with a filter & heater (plus a few plastic plants and fish house).
However, a very kind sales girl at PetSmart told me they’ll actually require a 10 gal tank...
Unfortunately, 3 gallons is the largest we can comfortably keep in my sons room. We weren’t really expecting the fish and a 10 gal tank is a bit much cost and maintenance wise.
Anyone have guppy experience? Will the little guys be ok? Or should we look into re-homing them to someone with a larger tank?
We’ve had them about 5 days and they appear quite happy However, we don’t have any fish experience so I could be completely wrong.
Thank you for your time and advice!
Lisa
