Getting Two Garters to Fish for thier own food??

Guys, he breeds fancy guppies...
Those snakes will be eating some *prime* fish, compared to what we find in the feeder tank at the pet store. ( If he is anything like most of the fancy tropical fish breeders I have known.)

Oh yeah. Forgot he bred them.

I think they would have a hard time baiting the hook and holding onto the reel.

Hahahah... Yeah, The snakes would probably eat the bait before trying to hook it...

=) I just started up my guppy tank again. The only chemicals I use in my tank is the aqua safe. I was just going to throw a few guppies into the water bowl and see what happens. I do the same for the turtle, he knows what to do, I just figured the snakes would too. Granted I just have a few batches of fry so it won't be for a while...

And I just started up a mouse tank too. Heehee... I've got tanks everywhere of all different sizes full of all different things...

It took about 2 weeks. Had to leave a fish out flopping which they both ate. Then shallow bowl with fish flopping around got them eating. It was about 5 days later they would fish on their own. I supplement thier diet with worms and frozen pinks. The fish they eat are parasite free and eat just as good as the snakes!

Breeding fancy guppies is SO easy and making fancy color patterns are fun. Just need to start with fish from a breeder. Two females one male. Guaranteed pregnant in a few days. 29 justation. 1 month or so for colors to come and adequate feeding size.

Is it high maintenance to breed guppies? Can you breed guppies in a 5.5 gallon talk?

Anytime you breed an animal you should consider it a high maintenance task. You'll need 4 tanks. One for the males, females, guppies and a breeding tank. 4 5.5 Gallons is doable. You can work it out by splitting 2 20 gallons, or get creative, etc.
