why are my female guppies dying i got 2 pairs of albino guppies and i thought the males would have died cos my males never really do well in my water parameters but instead both the females died whats going on?
ph might be a bit low for guppies.
Some females just seem to die at 6-9 months in the last few years. The stock out there is not great. Female guppies also carry a virus that can kill them very quickly- like overnight despite having great tank conditions.
The virus does not affect the males.
My experience with guppies is that they do not live long any more. 6-9-12 months max with good water condition. The females normally die after giving birth within 1-2 weeks. I was able to cross breed mosquito fish and guppies which are truly almost the same breed and they seem to live much longer and females seem to survive longer.
female gups dying?
