Albino Full Red? Haha, out of all my strains, the AFR strain is the one that causes me the most heartache. Lost tankfuls of them before from silly mistakes.

Mistake one: Mixing in a new guppy without proper quarantine.
Mistake two: Overcrowding.
Mistake three: Kept the same strain in only one tank, so whenever a mistake was made, I lost the entire batch. I learn to dedicate a few tanks to each strain, so more tanks are appreciated.
Mistake four: Too anxious and didn't cycle the water properly before shifting them to that tank.
Mistake five: Overfeeding.
Mistake six: Forgot to WC.

Good luck!

It's all up to individual. Once the guppy used to your water, it's ok. I would suggest, siphon the waste twice a week. Most likely, wc 30% once fortnightly. Then slowly adjust to your own wc pattern.

To be honest, guppies are not as hard as everone think it may be.Grasping the water parameter well will certainly means half the battle won.Firstly, as long as your ph and kh is stable , ammonia is 0 , chances of fish dying are reduced by half.Next , it now depends on your consistency of water change.For more crowded tanks , do more water change with conditioned water that are aged.

After mixing all my guppies inside a 2 feet tank juz for a few days, suddenly I spotted a very tiny fry swimming inside in front of me last nite. First, I thought the fry was added by accident came together with other species I bought from the farms. Then my wife spotted a group of fries swimming under the cover of the water plants.

We then decided to move all the fries to a new tank so that we can feed them separately. And also to take away the female from the cheeky male guppies.

Didn't know guppy is capable to give birth juz by days.

Will post some pictures when I'm free later.
