Aquarium Advice Addict
I was at the local pet store yesterday and saw a lot of deformed guppies. The owners supplier mixed a lot of deformed grown fish in her order. I would have been really mad but she said she would give them away or keep them. I made a deal to sell or trade her my fry once I breed mine but they came from her store and now I am worried. I do not want to raise deformed stock. How should I cull any that come out deformed? I want to do it the least cruel way possible. Or should I just give or sell them as feeders only. She does keep a tank of feeder fish for her Oscars and to sell. The male and female I have started with look healthy but I wonder how inbred they are. I am planning on buying another female from a store 50 miles away so hopefully they will have a different supplier. Any tips for picking a healthy females? My current female was just a tiny dot when I got her. I got to more girls from the local store and have them in their own QT tank waiting to see if they are pregnant before I introduce my male I want fry from. How long before I can breed them and be sure it was not retained sperm they are pregnant from?
