Water temp VS sex of fry

I have heard that the temperature of the tank water affects the sex of the fry when incubating eggs. Is this true? :?

Silurus, I was talking to the supplier that I bought the Delta Cobra Green guppies from and was complaining that they were dying right and left. I was told that those guppies need salt in the ratio of 1/2 cup to each 5 gallons of water. I have since added salt to the tank and they stopped dying ...

Hi, I am new to the forum and have a question that has probably been posted and answered before. I couldn't find it or maybe I couldn't use the Search right, so, here goes. I recently acquired a 'breeding group' of 5 albino corys (3 males-2 females) at a club auction. I would like to keep them with ...
