I have 2 beautiful male fancy guppies that I want to breed.. Will get 3 or 4 females.. what size tank would be minimum to start them in and how should it be set up?
Thanks... another question.. when it comes to cycling a new tank, can I start it with the water I take out of other established tank to shorten cycle time?
jcolon said:It certainly can't hurt since it's coming from a trusted established tank ... but the water really will not do much to speed up the cycle since it's basically devoid of bacteria. There'll be a few floating ... they're really on the surfaces and most are in the substrate, and filter media.

Water doesn't do anything for the tank, all it does is bring filth and gunk from one tank to another, what you really want is filter media, decor, and gravel if you want to speed up cycling. Just ask Eco that's what he's always said...
