My New Fish...

[emunson]

Please if someone would help me on this that would be great. This is the first time I have ever had fish like this. I'm not sure what all I should do. Right now I have a 30 gal with Fancy Tall Guppies in it and it is a sea salt tank with a 5 to 1 ratio. Should I put them in with them or a tank by them selves?

I am not understanding your question. Are you asking if it's ok to put guppies in a saltwater tank ?

No what I mean is the guppies have been in this tank going 2 years and they are larger then reg. guppies. Very bright in color and large I think the smallest is only 2 in. and the females are just about 3 1/2 to 4 in. and very healthy. I also have 2 female battas in the same tank and they are doing great. All of these fish have been in the tank like I said for 2 years. The salt to water ratio is 5 cup sea salt to 1 gal of water and the tank stays clear. I just want to know that my new fish will be ok in this tank with my other fish that alot of people have told me would die and well my fish are still very much alive and well thiers are all dead or very sick. My guppies are the fancy tail that are hugh and I have never seen them this big and I have a pet shop that I sell to but they tell people they are salt fish not freshwater and they are all born in saltwater not fresh.

That is VERY high, are you sure its not 5 gal water to 1 cup sea salt? Doubt any fish could survive that salanity. Normal marine condtions are about 1 cup salt to 2 gal water.
