Juvenile guppy se❌ing...... It sure aint a near sighted mans game!!! 🤣.
yup, some people can tell fairly early, im on the slower side of it. some strains show better than others too.

can also add a small piece of sponge to the tube itself, so nothing can enter it.

Thanks! So im assuming what I was thinking is correct. The bigger ones with a large frame are most likely female. While the skinny(er) ones with a stream lined body are probably males?
look at the anal fin, females have one, males dont. males have a gonopodium.

depends on the size of the guppies, but in general what i have seen is anywhere from 3-6 months. with closer to 6 months being more common. you will very likely have a population explosion coming soon.

Do I actually need to prep? Or can I just use it and put a rock on top of it to prevent from floating?
I have a few of the rectangular totes from Home Depot that I can use for prep
you dont have to prep it, especially due to its size. if it were mine, id probably brush it off, and hit it with a garden hose just to get loose junk off it.

you got some spindly wood there!😲 is probably fine as is. being that large, it would be difficult to soak it in a tub of hot water.

you definately need to supplement its food, even if you had algae. some veggies, or pleco wafers etc. those common pleco's especially as they get larger in an aquarium tend to occupy one spot most of the time.

leave the molts behind. they can eat them etc to help with calcium etc (note , im no shrimp guru).

razor blades work great, as long as you stay away from the silicone.

besides the fact you will figure it out by watching your fish, after a while your tank becomes well seasoned, and has a healthy bacteria colony you can get away with slightly over feeding your fish, as it will just feed the tanks bacteria with the excess.

2 degrees didnt do it, i would lean towards chlorine without any testing to prove things one way or the other. chlorine, or ammonia you will most likely notice their gills get extra red.

i would think foods with krill in them might help with reds, but id not guarantee it.

I'd leave it alone. Java ferns aren't necessarily dying completely when they produce new off-shoots.
correct. they could be 100% fine, or they could just be stressed, or they could be dying.
