[SandNukka15]

So my armies wont eat anything dead and with them being so small ive decided to feed live until they hit the 6-7 inch mark.....also i got a good deal from my lfs $50 for 500 feeder guppies..... question is i either have a 50 gallon tank with a drip system installed or a 300 gallon stock tank.... all of my tanks are taken besides these 2..... what would u guys keep them in?.....

I would keep them in the larger option. You do want to keep you $50 investment safe from dying.

Keep them in a larger tank, also if you have a moss or similar in the bottom there is a high chance that your guppies will breed and grow up successfully making you even more feeders.

Thats what i was thinking..... thanks guys

You will have to treat more water if you are planning on quarantining them, or lower the water line I suppose.

Also, $50 for 500 guppies is not a good deal. Normally 50 bucks will give you 750 at normal LFS price without any discount in most LFS...I usually paid 35 bucks for 1200 from my LFS. That's about pricing. If you want to keep them before they dying out you will need a very large tank and good filtration, then do WC every 2 days! It's not an easy job to keep large amount of guppies in long term without any time invest in it Good Luck.

Idk if your talking about prices in asia but 10cents per guppy isnt a bad deal in the us... they are usually 12-20 each

Ya 10cent per guppy in us in a decent deal.

Lol we pay anywhere from $4-7 each for guppys at the lfs here in Australia lol. I reckon all of you are getting bargains lol

Your talking about the adult fancy guppies which are usually $1-$3 here but feeders are younger guppies
