Mhm maybe a White Rose or Snow White quite the rare find my friend!

Hello Kat! Glad to see you’ve pushed through the many obstacles over the years! You seem to be quite the intuitive learner so I’m very much so excited to see your future endeavors in the hobby!

Oh how I wish my friend haha! To be fair I’ve had a few runners pop up in quite unusual places so that’s very promising! I did daily pruning for the first week to promote a creeping effect. I’m down to one decent trim back every Saturday with a replanting of about 20% You already know Easy Green was involved 😉

Thank you haha! It’s definitely a very unique rock to say the least! All the little crevices are screaming for some Anubias! As for the wet cats; they were the reason I upgraded from a 10G to a 20G long, but during the cycle I had second thoughts due to my pearlweed carpet I’m intending on growing out! How do you think they’d fair with a WIP carpet? I’m already replanting at least 5-6 stems a day with these guppies haha! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you! Luckily enough these bad boys were sourced from my backyard here in Hawai’i! Gave them a good soak before using them in a scape! Lava Rock if you were wondering!

They sure do! In the picture above are my Albino Topaz Guppies who are just about a month old! As for my Moscow’s the “trio” I ended up buying were all males so I’ve been on the hunt for females ever since!

I’m currently using a mix of Black Diamond and another off-brand blasting sand in combination. So far over the past two months it hasn’t affected my water parameters at all and even was able to have decent results with planting. I’m using this 20G long as a summer experiment to see how plants do in the corse blasting sand!

Haha I figured! Can’t beat the price point if you know what I mean! I’m in love with your pond setup! You did lovely work tying everything together, my favorite part being the center planter being the same shade as the brick! I’ll get those pics of my pond uploaded as soon as weather permits it! (It’s been raining like crazy here in Hawaii in the mist of “Summer”) LMAO

I appreciate it! Guppies for the win!!!

Those colors are so lively! What are you feeding by chance?

That is absolutely adorable! I can only imagine what someone could make using this idea for a betta! Keep us updated with the little guys progress!

I’ve been missing out on this forum! Thank you for the kind words! I truly lucked out given they were my first ever purchase! A trio of Snow White Moscows for $20 crazy! These guys don’t even look real in the pond!

As a fellow newbie I can agree that it’s a true pain looking at a box of old fake decorations haha! “That’s a few pots worth of Monte Carlo right there” LOL!

Hey guys! My names Anson and I’ve recently gotten into the hobby as of December 2021! I started off w/ a 10G w/ three Moscow Guppies so live bearers have had my attention ever since! Since then I’ve moved the Moscow’s to an outdoor 55G pond, and upgraded to a 20G Long! I now have an nice group of 6 Albino Blue Topaz culls from another hobbyist in residence! As someone who is insanely introverted, this hobby has made me want to talk to people more & overall want to build more relations. Thank you Cory, and the rest of the team over at the Co-Op for all the great advice and the hours of company your videos provided haha!
