as a substrae i have used small schist rocks (so babies can get in the gaps to hide in.

there is also some larger schist to make lil teratories,

i also have a fake ambuila, and a fake sword plant, (will get more when i havbe $$$

i have 1 wild female, 1 white with black eyes female, and one gold platnum male,

thaks i will be adding more fake ambuila as i can afford it

Looks good, why fake plants?

Looks good, why fake plants?

thats what i was going to say looks good though

Looks good, why fake plants?

2 reasons,

1: they dont die

2: the type of substrate is no good for them

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:

Really nice guppies - love the colour

thanks.

the stone is shot over gravel

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

sorry lol, but i wasnt alive 30 years ago lol.

sadly i lost a female guppy tho

lol gannet

oops, I missed the bit about the guppy. Sorry to hear about the loss

well i have my 1st guppies bubbas (tehehe fry) just did a water change and saw 1, then 2, then 6 etc etc etc, so i stoped the water syphon, and used a smaller hose to finish it off, IE airline.

some look yellow like mum n dad, but one has blue on it and looks realy nice.

to small to get pics of, less than 1cm how old would they be?

Nice guppies !

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.

Cheers
