do any of you keep these in ponds and could you add some pics
 
Hi. No, you can't keep guppies in fish-ponds.They'd be far too small to see, and would probably get eaten by the other fish!
 
I have 3 guppies, 2females and 1 male. they both are pregant. i have them in a 10gal tank. i have black gravel which they seem to like alot and i a few plants. i feed them every day, 2 times a day. the water is 75-81 degrees temp. they will be giving birth in a few days
 
I do :)
you can see the guppies and believe me they breed regardless.
I only keep them outside during the summer/warm months, or they would freeze to death. I have a camera, I just need to figure it out. And that isnt on my to-do list. but I will post my pond flicks here. you will love them.
oh yeah the weathers so warm here in the summer, I keep swordtails ,endlers ,platies , crayfish ,snails and minnows outside too!

AGAIN: I bring them in for cold months
 
When I had a pond I put in 100 feeder guppies for the channel cats. Turns out my cats were vegetarian. The guppies did what guppies do best and over ran the pond. A 3 inch TSN took care of that problem quickly.

dont keep them in a pond. they are too small and they have a rare chance of breeding there!!


dawn; gar b3ar...You seem to be forgetting thats how they are bred...on fish farms.
And believe me...they will find each other :ROFL:.
