    What do you think?

    I love Fitbit and really work hard to get my steps. A few months ago I had to take a break because of an injury. https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/01/03/how-using-a-fitbit-could-lower-your-healthcare-cos.aspx

    Saving my Guppies?

    I do fifty percent weekly, but this year they got about an eighty percent water change. I feed them frozen food mostly. Thank you for the help.

    Saving my Guppies?

    Thank you, I moved one of my females to a ten gallon. I hope the female has fry and starts a colony. I can then swap males every once in a while to maintain a larger colony.

    Saving my Guppies?

    I still plan on trying to save the main colony without outbreeding. I will have the backups though. Thank you, I have wanted for years to have a long term colony.

    Saving my Guppies?

    They are still breeding. The problem is the females are having few offspring and dying young. I plan on crossing the males with pet store females in another tank. I also plan on taking the most pregnant female and moving them to another tank. Then crossing the males with her offspring. Thank you...

    Bog Filter

    I use a 125 watt CFL. I found not use ferts. They are in a box hanging off the tank pumping water in. The plants root into the water. They perform a little filtering. I am more interested in the roots providing food and space for microorganisms to grow.

    Sustainable Fishtank?

    Semi aquatic plants such as Pothos remove a huge amount of nutrients. They are not limited by CO2 in the water.

    Finnex Fugeray Planted + for Fluval Spec V 5gallons

    I use Finnex lights for all three of my tanks. I would recommend them for planted tanks. I have a load of guppy grass in two of my tanks that do well. In the third tank I have a large amount of water wisteria that does great.

    Hibiscus in riparium?

    The regular hibiscus will not work, but there are semi aquatic species.

    Pregnant guppy!!!!

    If you add plenty of cover that should help. The fry can survive in the tank with cover. Some will be eaten but as long as the adults are well fed they should survive. You could use live plants like guppy grass or hornwort. You can also add plastic floating plants.

    Male swordtails can be aggressive to each other in the presence of females.

    Gammarus?

    Thank you, I think I cannot use them. All of my ranks are heavily planted.

    Gammarus?

    Can I raise Gammarus or some other live food off the back of a ten gallon in a 3 gallon container? They would be food for Guppies, Least Killifish, and maybe a Betta.

    Do You Prefer Keeping Guppies

    If you keep them outdoors you have to worry about predation.
