Combining tanks

[AngieW]

You can combine the existing numbers temporarily, but I think you'd be better off if in the longterm, you expand the size of the school. Not that a 5.5 plus a 2 gallon is a problem to move, IMO. It's about the size of a small bucket.

I moved about six months ago, and I'm pretty sure a shelf of books and the dishes were more of an issue.

I know, it doesn't seem like much, but add in a 75 gallon saltwater tank plus 30 gallon fuge, 3 cats and a toddler. One more fishtank is one more fragile thing to worry about, lol. And since it's going from Maryland to Georgia, it's not just a move across town where I can do it in multiple trips. All at once, blech.

Perhaps I'll give away the tank with the guppies and just school the rasboras. I actually like them better anyhow. Or maybe I'll just give away both small tanks, with the existing fish, and set the 5 gallon up when I arrive.

i bred guppies as my first fish, they can be very pretty..

male guppies are usually slightly smaller, with more colourful, longer and bigger tails, that can sometimes look a little ragged. the females are slightly bigger and fatter, with usually duller silver or yellowish colours, and smaller neat fan-shaped tails. if there is a male and a female together, they would mate pretty quickly, and even if they ate all the babies you would notice the female getting really fat every few weeks or so.

usually in fish stores they have more male guppies to sell, usually in a separate tank, (well they do around here) as they are prettier and look better, so i'd say you probably got two males, because the females are very plain in comparison.

hope this helps

Yes, that seems to confirm that they're males. Thank you!

And thanks to everyone who's replied.
