Nerites
Mystery snails

I bred both and they're very easy to breed! At least from experience. Put two in a tank and you'll have babies soon enough.
And they're fun to watch, too!

:c The really pretty blue guppy randomly died. He was fine a few hours ago and just went to turn the lights off and he was dead.
Poor fish.

    @TerrificTeddyGuineas
    Probably mystery or apple snails. They come in such pretty colors! I want to
    breed some pretty bad because I think little snails are adorable. However, I
    asked for a snake for my birthday and will probably be spending time with it.
    Here's hoping for a little extra money so I can do both!

@TerrificTeddyGuineas: Not nerites, certainly. They need brackish water to breed, but can live in fresh, salt, or brackish water. To me it sounds like a hassle, but if you're willing to take up the challenge, go for it!

I think mystery snails look a lot cooler and are probably more fun than nerites, so I'd go that route if I were to choose. c;

One quick question...
I have a male Glofish TETRA (not danio ) and just started chasing my female Sunrise Tequila guppy. Is this a sign that she is pregnant ? They are two different breeds that can't crossbreed. Why is he doing this ?

Maybe because tetras do better in groups of 6-10, and in my opinion, by themselves species wise.

We have a female for him and since she is very very large and he is really small he doesn't chase her. Somtimes the female actually chases him.
I'm not really sure why he is chasing my Guppies...

When a tetra is alone, it may become extremely aggressive and flighty.

the glofish tetras are genetically modified black skirt tetras if I am right(I would never buy one myself, too expensive and they don't live long...plus, who buys a fish that has a company name and a trademark on it?). So you may want to go get a few more tetras(glofish or otherwise) to keep him company.



On a side note, my bichir has doubled in size!

:c So now we have a guppy and some tetras in our 15 gallon tank and we're wondering what we could put in there since the next time we get some fish we want something a bit different from guppies. Either something that could live with both the tetras and the guppy or just the tetras.

c: Goldfish are social and do like to live with other goldfish yup yup
