Oh you rebel you!
At least mines feeds them the right stuff :p just too over enthusiastic!
 
i thought it was fishfood....posted the story on here somewhere...will search it out for you.
 
Lol oh dear!
I picked up the yellow male from my landlady. He's actually white with a yellow tail and red tips. He is a lot bigger than my other male and the ladies like him! He's beating them off lol. He looks striking against the black! Pics up soon. 
 
It's amazing how a few pieces of wood can transform a tank. 
 
My little ones fry tank. I took the redwood out and replaced it with the wood she picked.

All the pieces of wood you see are from a store called dunelm mill they were selling them for £1.99 each.  Even the big pieces!
 
Wow, that did make a big difference. It looks so much more inviting. Did you move in with this landlady on purpose or was that just God being kind to you?
 
She has been a godsend to us. We are more like friends than landlady/tenant.
When I first came to see this property, she was still sitting here and I saw her 3 tanks and knew this was the right one! We have become good friends.
I went to her house earlier to pick up the guppy and she has got the gold coloured cories, the panda cories and the ones I have been trying to get-the black venezuelan! Anytime she goes for fish she asks me too which is nice!
 
Awesome story and the tanks are sure looking good.
 
Thanks. I was thinking of getting some small plants for the little fry tank for the foreground but thought that will look quite cluttered when there's 15 guppies swimming about in there. I will just get some more vallis for the back. It's so small don't want it too cluttered.
 
For mine I am going back to dunelm mill tomorrow. I will pick up another small piece of wood for the front right. They had one that was like a tree stump, I think that will be perfect. They sell it as an ornament lol I can't believe how cheap they are selling them-£1.99 for any size piece! They start at £7 in pets at home for a small piece! I will try not to go crazy :p
 
Wow, it's an arm and a let here too!
 
Yeah the wood is very expensive in pet shops. Then again pets at home are very overpriced. Charging £33 for a master test kit when you can get it online for £18 is daylight robbery. 
 
I will get a few extra pieces just in case I decide to upgrade the fry tank. I didn't actually give it any thought when they babies grow up they won't be able to move! By then most if not all will be sold. 
 
Guppy Karma !.... the flaming yellow/orange male is gorgeous...looking forward to seeing his fry.   :)
 
Thanks, he's massive the same size as the females, that might be a problem but the females are chasing him. He's hiding from them. The half black has taken a shine to him, won't leave his side, he doesn't want to know, he's been trying to mate with rainbow fish all his life he's probably never seen female guppies before

Wish you guys lived near me, that way I could justify buying loads of the mopani wood

 £1.99 is a steal!
 
Some of the guppy fry are the size of neon tetras and their bodies are turning red. I have never had colour on 2 week old fry before, hope they aren't ill.
One of the big ones has a bent spine. It doesn't affect him, he's had it since birth. His back isn't completely straight, looking at him side on, instead of his top line being straight, it goes up the way. It's hard to explain it looks like a step up. He swims, he eats, he stays with me for the rest of his days :)
 
Hey Nylah, dont beat yourself up over some of the fry... thats why they have so many, I let my guppy colony alone..the strongest survive !
 
I agree. that's part of breeding.
