Gannet Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Looks good, why fake plants? 2 reasons, 1: they dont die 2: the type of substrate is no good for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTam22 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 is that "otago" from a garden centre you have used for the gravel?? Yea they don't die but they don't grow either :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jude Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Nice tank Gannet, congratulations. I don't want to start yet another angry, argumentative post, but could I ask that you say "my" gf, not "the" gf? Its just a pet peeve of mine - she's not a thing, she's a person I know its how people have always spoken, I remember people saying "meet the wife" thirty years ago. It annoyed me then and it annoys me now, even if the term isn't used intentionally as a put down. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterfly Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Just thought I'd add I LOVE YOUR TANK setup and goodluck with breeding your guppies. I'm doin the same thing at the moment and I have four females pregnant and some very pretty but young males. Do you know if the small young females can bear live young o.k? I have two females which are pretty young - just got them and their already pregnant, just need to know if they'll be o.k.
