Fancy Guppies available
Description
I’m in the early stages of setting up my guppy breeding operation in Kingston- although they would also be available in the Ottawa area- and was planning on selling the fry here, once they’ve grown up a bit, as pets. I’m just posting this now to assess interest levels, so if you think you or someone you know would be interested in the future, please spend a minute or two and fill out this google form for me!

Guppies are beautiful fish and make wonderful, low maintenance pets, and they can be somewhat affectionate! Unlike some types of fish, guppies are often interactive and will sometimes even come up and touch your finger, if you let them :)
These particular guppies will differ from regular pet store fish in that they will have been:
-Raised in my home- meaning not in cramped and unsanitary conditions
-Fed a balanced diet of newly hatched brine shrimp (hatched by me) and organic vegetable blend flakes (homemade), which will get them big and strong and keep they’re colour looking good
-Carefully monitored water conditions and lots of attention!
Keeping fish is often associated with improved mental and physical health...
“What owning and caring for an aquarium offers is the chance to bring the calming effects of nature right into the home. Once an aquarium is established and decorated with rocks and plants, watching fish swim back is stress and anxiety reducing. The gurgling sound of the bubbles add to the therapeutic effect of looking at the tank. Also relaxing are the colors of both the fish and background inside the tank. Studies show that it can reduce blood pressure and emotional agitation. That is why they are displayed in such diverse places as dentist offices to nursing homes, restaurants and doctor offices.” -Allan N. Schwartz, PhD

These fish are perfect for student and family homes... they’re a great exam-time relaxer for students, and mesmerizing for kids (and parents!)
Note: The guppies in the pictures are my three cobra guppies. They will be one of the types that my fry descend from :) They're beautiful, very hardy, and these guys, in particular, have an awesome temperament!
