Granny's gone and done it again

Why not just start with guppies and see how it goes?

oh ya, I imagine it will be a yr or so before the angels want to breed.

Too cheap to buy puppy pads, so she would wash and reuse these blanket things. Sigh. I am going to have to take her out myself every couple of hours and make sure she goes. I think we should close the bedroom doors.

That would drive me crazy. She should pick up on the outside potty pretty quick, especially if you can catch her doing it in the house and tell her no. Maybe a special treat she likes when she does good.

I dont know. I can advertise them if thats what you mean.

Yes, that's what I meant.

I have babies right now in w/ the parents but it will be a while before they are big enough to sell and in the mean time she is due again soon so what do I do w/ those babies ? Do I save them all or wait til one bunch is ready then have to wait til they grow up??

I would leave them where they are until you get the other tank set up. Then put all babies in that tank with an under gravel filter.

How many baby guppies do you have left?

If it takes them 3 months to grow big enough to sell then thats 3xs one guppy will have babies and 3 different tanks for them.

Good plan. Other thought. Put a cue object by the door - hang some bells or jingles from the door to outside. Ring em whenever you go outside and stay out until she goes pee or poop. Praise. Play. All the good things. Could try tethering her - tie the leash around your waist while inside so you can keep a close eye and if she’s starting to get antsy or sniff around - outside you go.

She was doing well, but I was going out with her. She gets distracted by everything, especially the big dog. She is almost 5 months, and just got worse. She was doing well.

I knew a teacher that raised them all in the same tank. It was full of plants, though. She had some really pretty colors. First time I had ever seen such fancy guppies.

You can keep different sizes of babies together, don't need a different tank for each size.
