I have 2 pregnant guppies?

Question

i have 2 pregnant guppies in a 10gal and a 1-2 gal tank. i dont have filter, aerator, plants or anything but marbles on the bottom of the 1-2. i'm going to buy an aerator and some plants (any suggestions on plants?) but do i really need another filter? thx

Answer 1

you definitely need the filter. and make sure you get plenty of plants especially leafy ones for the fry to hide in cuz mom will try to eat them. make sure no other fishes are in the tanks also cuz all they will also get the munchies. good luck and have fun with it.  I have had tank raised guppies that lived for several years which is about average.

Answer 2

u should really buy the filter too,your fry will need filtration in order to survive well,filters will remove dangerous particles and toxins that may harm your vulnerable baby fish,guppies are very delicate.
