My new tank set up

[Dax2060]

My tank is a 20 gallon tank I have 4 platy females and 1 male. I have 4 guppy females and 1 male I also have a pleco and two yo-yo loaches. I’m new to this set up but not new to aquariums. My plan is to get some babies. I have an additional 10 gal tank for babies and for when I want to trade males out periodically. I’m pretty green to live plants so I decided to get some guppy grass but it’s not doing so hot right now.

He’s only about an inch and a half now and I was thinking the same thing so before I got him I made sure to line up a home for him once he’s bigger. Once he reaches about 5 inches he’s headed to live the pond life in Arizona
