Thanks, as always, Colin :) I don’t think my wife will be happy with me growing worms in the shed so have just ordered the baby brine shrimp! Haha She’s still smashing them out so I’m periodically having fun catching fry! They look happy and are eating well (ground flake and blood worms at the...

Well, I’m the proud owner of two new fry! There were more I believe but I wasn’t quick enough to save more! - This is only due to Colin’s wonderful advice on getting water sprite where they were hiding out! Thank you! :D I have them in a breeder box with water sprite to increase their chances...

Hi, I’m new as well and glad my post is on its way to helping others! :) I found this link quite informative, as well as all of the previous comments in this thread so far! https://www.myaquariumclub.com/guppy-pregnancy-photo-progression-when-is-my-guppy-due-is-my-guppy-in-labor-6621.html I...

I haven’t got, and don’t really have space for, a second tank so I may have some very over-worked females! I’m not whether to cover the filter intake or not? With the plant cover and hiding places in the tank I should be ok? Counting on Darwinism to help keep fry strong and help with volume!

When it arrives I have some tank water to wash it in. Do I need to do anything else with it before I add it to my tank? Not surprised, he’s looking awesome at a the moment! Really growing well and his colour is beautiful (phone doesn’t do him justice!)

Ordered some water sprite today :) - I’ve heard that Frogbit is good for fry as well, is this true? I think she may have miscarried though :( Although it looks as if the other two might be carrying now as well!! - Typhoon, the male, has been very excitable around them all this evening! :O

I thought that but managed to get a good look at her earlier (she tends to hide quite a bit) and she has little ‘white lights’ near her gravid spot - google reckons that these are babies.... Any suggestions on when to put her in a breeder box? - I don’t have a second tank.

Thanks :) This is my first expectant fish so thank you for your comments :)

That smiley was definitely not the one I intended! :/

Hi Colin T, thanks for your message! She has been in a tank with males so I hope that she’s pregnant, worms sounds horrific! :-/ At a guess how far along would you say that she is?

Hi, I bought a lovely pair of (Black, not Blue Moscow I believe) guppies and I’m not sure if the lady is pregnant? Could anyone help me please? I’ve attached a photo for more information :)

Tank nearly finished! Bonsai is soaking and being cleaned before my moss arrives which will go back left (where the big gap is!) Water in next week and then fish in two weeks! Yay! :D

If it’s possible I’d like to have a mixture of both. Couple of big fish max and a school/shoal or two would be perfect :)

When it arrives I will be having some moss that I’ll be attaching to some driftwood but that’s as far as I want to go for now :)

Thanks Colin. Once I’ve established keeping my fish alive I will use your advice and move on to plants :)

Wow! Thank you all so much for your input! Enjoyed reading about all of the suggestions! :) Seriouslyfish still blows my mind with the depth of info! :O Still learning the forum but someone mentioned a planted tank, I’m only going to be using a very small amount of moss, as far as live plants...

Hi, Thank you for your reply and advice. Could you suggest some suitable fish so I can have a read about them please? Thanks P.S. No cichlids as I would like a mix of species

Hi, So I’m new to the world of fish keeping, aside from spending the last 6 months researching bits and pieces whilst I acquire equipment and ideas! I have a 200l tropical tank that will, finally, be full of ‘hard’ water and ornaments by the weekend! :D *having seen requests on other posts...
