If the mom pops out the fry babys guppys can the small baby guppys live in the same tank with the dad and the mom? and some other tropical fish? I dont want to waste my money on another fish tank <.<

I have a heater and a filter.

Hi, I recently took up the hobby of keeping tropical fish after not doing too well at it a few years back. My dad had a 60 l (15 Gallon) Biorb lying around which he was going to throw out so i used that! things are going very well in there now i have, 4 rosey tetra, 6 glow light tetra, 2 tuxedo swordtails (male and female), 2 red swordtails (again both male and female) oh and an albino pleco. I know its a bit cramped but i do plan to upgrade within the next year. I heard that swordtails breed like crazy and i was wondering if that was likely in this some what odd shaped fish tank? i do have lots of plants and a cave i made with a dark top. Is there a breeding trap i can use that will work in a Biorb? should I buy a small tank? should i buy some of that floating grass stuff and let nature be cruel? (i think my pleco may take a likeing to it though?) i just really wanted to know based on my other fish and set up of my tank what my odds were? id love it if they got jiggy lol

I have a tropical fish tank and it keeps turning green and i have no idea why ?
me and my dad constantly clean out the tank completely and it takes 2 days, we change the water, condition the water, and change the filter we do everything and it doesn’t seem to work! my dad said if it keeps turning green he will get rid of my fish tank HELP ME!!!

Ok I am new to fish and I got two of the exact same fish one male and one female. If they breed can I keep the dad in the tank once there are eggs if so how do I know if they are there and if not do I have to take him out when they are born and if so can i ever put him back? Ok one more question- can they ever breed more then once? Thanks so much- if you cant answer everything thats ok I just need to know whatever I can!
