guppy keepers


I have 6 female guppies and 3 male guppies currently in a 125 gallon tank, would I be able to remove all but one or two of the females and not have them become stressed by the males?

It's alway's good to have a 2 female to 1 male ratio as you have it now but you could try it and see if they are chasing them endlessly it's a big tank why remove them?

unless you are breeding the guppies, I would put the males and females in seperate tanks. In 30 days, there will be a whole bunch of fry ... and so on for the next few months ...

Only put them together when you want to breed them and then remove both when the fry hatch.
