@Michelle D1. Welcome to our community, you’ll be a better fishkeeper for it. 2. All that algae and biofilm has served you well for those shrimp and shrimplets, well done. 3. Do these fry have a blue rim around their eyes? They look like Pseudomeugil luminatus fry or ricefish. Here’s a picture of Pseudomeugil.
ricefish fry
both are egg scatterers. Have fun with your fish and shrimp.
I looked real good and I don't see any blue.
They look closer to the rice fish but a lot redder.
From my couch the only way I can tell them from the shrimp is the way they swim, just to give you an ideal of how red they are. Going to try and get a better pic, but my phone camera is not great.

@Michelle DI think you may just have pushed the conversion of your plants to your water with the ferts. I think the die off was inevitable- all plants have a period where they get adjusted to your water. From your initial post you’re at a little over 2 months correct?
I’d trim back all the yellow and brown bits. Flourish is not my fave but it’s what many people have - it’s weak in all the wrong places in terms of ferts. I’d keep dosing it with water changes and another 1-2 x a week. Once the bottles nearly gone grab some easy green. Eventually your plants growth will outstrip the die off. Part of having a planted tank is trimming and pulling plants.
Another thing to think about is your plants are competing for nutrients and the faster growers guppy grass, pearl weed and wisteria will pull from your anubias and I’d say your guppy grass and pearl weed are doing fantastic from the pics.
Ok thanks for the info and the tips.
The pearl weed guppy grass are the ones that look the worst. My camera phone isn't great. I noticed after I took the pics it didn't show how bad it was. The pearl weed was taller than the tallest drift wood. And fuller, now some of it has broken off and is now floating at the top.
I'll trim the brown off and do another water change, I did one last night too.
I actually just put the Anubis in thinking I dosed for too many plants. They were meant for one of my Betta tanks.
My lfs ( also where I work ) don't carry easy green, and neither do any of the other lfs here, where is the best place to order it from?
O and yes it's been about 2 to 2 1/2 mths.

I'd guess you need a nitrogen supplement. What are the nitrate levels in the tank?
Thanks I'll check it out
I forgot to say, I don't have a nitrate test kit but am going to get 1 tomorrow.

May I suggest posting this as a topic in plants algae fertilizer category on he forum. There are lots of very knowledgeable folks that will see it thee and perhaps an help. Good luck.
5 of my tanks are bare bottom with 4 being guppy tanks. I don’t use fertilizer and my plants are fine.

I have a bare bottom guppy breeding tank with plants I was told my plants would do better if I would fertilize them by using flourish so I did now my plants are all turning brown they're not as tall as they used to be they're not as full as I used to be and this is all happened in a span of two days is there anyway I can save my plants.

Don't know if you can see it or not but the plants have alot of brown, and the baby tears was a lot taller before the fertilizer

Ok I will post there thanks. And I will start water changes right now.
I should have left well enough alone... My plants look great as was.

I'm so upset 😭😭 I added flouish to my bare bottom guppy breaker tank cause I was told they weren't getting enough food due to no substrate...
Well my plants ( that we're doing great in my opinion ) are all dieing.....
Is there anything I can do to fix this before it all gone??? 😢😢😢😢😢

I lost all four of my Masonic guppy males. The water parameters are all good so I really don't know what happened.
But ALL my females are doing great. I even have some new babies in the guppy tank.
Also I got 6 tangerine orange shrimp , will be getting some yellow's soon.
I got new Blue Cobra males and some majestic Cobra males and a bunch more females going to put them each in different tanks after quarantine. I'm going to try and keep it tank specific except for the first one the first one is just an assorted. The first tank is the one where the males all died in it so I don't know what I'm going to replace them with.

Exciting. It could just be my eyes but those don’t look quite right to be guppy fry. They appear to me to have an egg hatched fish shape 🤷♀️But my eyes are not the best. Do you remember what else was in the tank you got the plants from?
There were Molly, platty and swords..... I was thinking swords due to the color.
Was looking at them tonight and they appear to have even darker red strips along their bodies. 🤷
But I'm new to breeding so I am just guessing.

Is it ok to keep posting on this thread or should I start a new one about babies?

Thanks, I will.
I can't wait to find out what the babies are, I was looking closely at them last night and noticed they all have stripes down their bodies. The bigger they get the more I see so hopefully it won't be much longer and I'll know what they are, lol

Woohoo babies 🎉🎊🎈. Welcome to the forum. Congratulations on your new babies the shrimp are beautiful. Free bonus pets hitch rides on plants or end up in fish bags at purchase all the time. My shrimp migrate from tank to tank on sponge filters and plants.
I finally was able to get pics of the tiny babies, not great but can see them.
I thought they were guppies but now not sure. ????? 🤔🤔

Done this wrong before, sorry.

I think that's exactly how I got them I went and got some Mosaic orange and gray male guppies and some females today for my new guppy tank I'm going to try my hand at breading LOL, and I seen all kinds of baby guppies in that tank so that makes perfect sense to me that they hitched a ride on the plants. 😊

Welcome, babies are always a good sign, care to share some pictures?
I thought I had. Guess I did something wrong... I'll try again.
SOrry the babies are too small, my camera won't focus on them. But I added a few of the others, hope you like 😁
