Sick Feeder Guppies BEWARE

[emma_421]

I have been keeping an eye on lfs's in Wisconsin and all of the tanks I have seen with them in have TB. The guy said it was not an isolated problem and I beleive him. I have been to the other side of the state and they still all look like this. I would suggest giving your feeders a lookover (no matter where you live since I don't know where they are coming from) for any crooked fish before you buy them and feed them to your pets. Don't buy ANY if any of the fish in the tank look crooked.

That is why it is best if you are going to feed live feeders to your other fish that you quarantine them first for several weeks to make sure you aren't dealing with any diseases. If you set up a small Q tank, and then a larger regular tank for your guppies you may be able to see them start breeding nice healthy young'uns for yourself!

Yeah. All of the ones I've seen have had serious problems. I don't have anything to feed them to, I was just going to grow some out to have some pretty wild guppies for my guppy tank.
