Jemima Hughes - 9 years ago

How do you get your bubbles to come up from the bottom all the way along the base of the tank

Why the f****k would u do this! How would u like it if u were introduced in to that tank as a guppie?? Do u think people will like this? Grow up!

MrDeathrene - 10 years ago

next day, "where did the guppies go?"

streamleazefishhouse - 10 years ago

shudders at the dodgy fish selection. Please read the comments people are posting and find a suitable home for your pond fish and trops.

Those Oscars were too small to eat guppies at that point. Did they eat most of their tank mates yet?

There were obviously too many nippers in that aquarium for a betta.

The Oscars, the betta, and the koi were bad choices for that aquarium. Otherwise the set up would have been fine.

Don't get me wrong. I have made mistakes when I started out. This isn't to bash but to warn beginners this is not a good idea.

Kiky Mi - 10 years ago

I haven't seen such a big fish soup yet XD

Brisha Roxberry - 10 years ago

Literally go kill yourself please, for everyone. You must have read some comments on what you're doing wrong, and you're obviously, still not getting it. You must be retarded. I bet most your fish are dead by now, so when those ones die, don't EVER buy anymore fish if you're gonna continue being a dumb fuck.

JTB Reptiles - 10 years ago

Koi can get 100cm long. Oscars can get a foot long, as can kissing gourami. Pearl gouramis can get 15cm and these are actually a great choice for a tank of that size - without the others. Siamese fighters aren't predators at all, are scared of pretty much everything other than rival males and guppies which they sometimes fight with. The amount of food you added was well to much - hungry fish are happy fish, but not starving! The 'male' guppy is a female and you'd need at least nine females to spread aggression between the three males - or no females at all. It may sound as if I'm having a go but there is some research to be done if you are really concerned about the welfare of your pets. Each of your fish can be fantastic given the right conditions. Good luck!

MSK Chess - 10 years ago

dude that's pretty cruel, imagine if you were put in a confined space with two killers? saying that those Pearl Gourami are gorgeous

the yellow and black sported tail guppy u got there is female the other three are males ive keeped guppys fr yrs u need more females or the males will fight

Andrew Ellickson - 10 years ago

you need 250 gallons for one koi (not 250 liters) and even more if you keep it with all those other fish, if this is gonna work long term you'll need something like a 300 gallon tank

ok then - 9 years ago

I thought koi were coldwater ( Because I have a fish pond)

Carmen H - 10 years ago

months on end? so ... they did get eaten? You are a sadistic piece of Australian cunt. :)

gilpi552 - 10 years ago

Sorry but the guppies will be fish food for the Oscars.

Morganna - 10 years ago

A successful introduction does not mean that the guppies will be always safe. A tank full of predators is never a safe place for small fish, no matter what you do. Get a separate tank for the guppies, or don't buy them at all. On a side note, your silver female guppy appears to be pregnant.

Jeff Eaton - 10 years ago

worst fish tank ive ever seen. seriously you should be ashamed.

Rhonda Barnett - 10 years ago

Your stupid

Mreque89 - 10 years ago

Please do respond to this, i need a laugh.

How are your guppys doing now? ( i know they are dead as hell ) But just for the fun of it and to teach others how stupid this is, please reply.

Your fish soup is horrible.

john hodgson - 10 years ago

The yellow guppy with black spots is not a male, quite clearly a female. it also has wasting disease which is fatal for all livebearers. These fish will already be dead, dont watch this vid.

Candace Winn - 10 years ago

You don't know a thing about keeping fish! Koi, oscars, tropical fish, guppies, and a Siamese fighting fish (not a catfish not sure where u got catfish from). They should never be in the same tank under any circumstances!!

i think the title should be "why not to put guppies in a tropical fish tank filled with predators"

Ayana Wright - 11 years ago

those fish will eat the guppies so fast you won't even see it you are doing nothing but breeding guppies and making it 100x easier for them to die

GreenMoonStudio - 11 years ago

10? I had 3 oscars that were 14 inches each, Lol.

terry gillham - 11 years ago

Sorry to say your on another planet . no idea of fish keeping you can't keep Oscars with guppies don't matter how long they are in there Oscars are predatory and sooner or later will eat them. Also koi carp need to be in cold water they will grow fast and will destroy everything carp are dirty fish and unless you have got a super filter it will fowl up quickly . and not to burst you bubble but them Oscars will have to have a bigger tank as they will get up to 10 inch's in no time .

Chris Seng - 11 years ago

This is wrong on so many levels. Most of these fish are not compatible at all. Koi cannot have a heater...

FILTH

SDK - 11 years ago

I have a breeder tank for guppies that I feed to my lemon oscar.

Tom Chesser - 11 years ago

you have a koi in your tank

KING - 11 years ago

Oscars will eat anything they can

John Choy - 11 years ago

oscar fish can swallow the guppies in 1 second.

峜钨宝 - 11 years ago

read below... learned my lesson. See my other my other videos, feeding my Oscars boiled eggs and peas to control their aggression

acitz7654 - 11 years ago

you are literally sending these 4 poor guppies to the death chamber my friend. Dont you know oscar and koi/goldfish will eat them?

峜钨宝 - 11 years ago

It was a lovely "don't do this at home" experiment that got shut down a week later when I woke up to check the sleeping fish and the Oscar had the guppie halfway in his mouth in the middle of breakfast. I returned the other guppies to the fish shop, mistake learned. They did coexist for a week together so that was an accomplishment but it definitely wasn't a community tank at that early stage.

峜钨宝 - 11 years ago

You're right it's a 250 liter tank - the tank is an Aqua Pro 980 I must have missed this in the description.

Ryan Tran - 11 years ago

i have a hard time believing that this tank is 980 liters(258 gallon) there is no way in hell its that big

WeeStrom CO Guy - 11 years ago

understatement of the year

barbie94baby - 11 years ago

I agree. Koi's are cold water fish. The rest are tropical water fish.

峜钨宝 - 11 years ago

Hi. The cichlid are doing fine, and the kois are quite large. I do agree however and have separated the guppies from the more predatory fish. The guppies were too stressed. BTW there are no goldfish in my tank that I know. Thanks for your feedback.

ted nguyen - 11 years ago

theres cichlid and goldfidh,kois this isnt a good tank setup
