Keep in mind that if you want a specific variety of Endler's or guppy, that you will have to maintain them to keep them looking like that. As a colony they will tend to drift in form if you do not, and you may, or may not, like the result. It can several generations depending on how stable the line is when you get it. If you go with an unselected N-class Endler's strain then, you can do a lot more ignoring them and they'll tend to keep looking like wild strain. Just stuff you might want to consider.
Good advice thank you.

I live in the North West and have access to a bunch of stuff I can collect but I can't get good information on how to make it safe.
Alder cones, when do you collect them and how to treat. Oak leaves, do you gather in the fall when brown or collect green and let dry out? Manzanita branches, can you gather green or must it be dead? Do you need to peal the bark. Rocks, do you boil them?

Thank you for your reply

What if I placed a power head with a Pre filter on the top of my gravel filter out flow and run water down pipe and through the gravel?

Thank you. I have the tank might as well use it and grow moss.

I have a small colony of about 20 Tiger Lima (limiaq isle). I have had them for about a year. They have spawned several times and I have given away some fry. Recently they have become very secretive hiding in rocks, plants and wood. I have also noticed sone adults seem to be swimging in place like a shimmy. The planted tank has been set up for 2 1/2 years and is well seasoned. Tank perimeters are NO3-10, NO2-0, GH-75, KH-60. PH-6.8. Chlorine-0. I do a 20% water chance once a week. I treat all water with a declorinator. I have placed crushed coral in a box filter it help raise PH
I am most concerned by the shimmy. All I have read says it is likely water quality. Any suggestions?
