[UniQuaria] Feeder guppies

May 7, 2008 @ 11:19 pm · Filed under Philippines Internet Koi Society

The store probably doesn’t show the feeder guppies at least partly because the death rate is probably pretty high. No customer wants to see dead fish in a tank, especially if there are several in the same tank. On the other hand, it is important to know they have a high death rate as that will affect your decision whether to buy.

Like you, I have come close to buying feeder guppies, my reasons being to rescue them from an Oscar’s lunch menu and also to allow their simpler beauty to show through. But I haven’t done it because of that worry about disease and similar problems. I do miss the plainer but still lovely guppies which were the norm when I was a young girl and shopped for fish in the dime store. I’m feeling nostalgic now.

See you later,
Beverly

Peace, please!

Regular guppies may be the way to go. I don’t even get to see the feeder
fish. They are kept in the back of the store where only employees are
allowed to go. So I can’t even look at them to see if they are healthy or
how they are cared for. :-/ Regular guppies are, of course, right out
front for all the world to see.

Thanks for the tips!
