    I should try to feed them while they are hiding

    I have like 25 baby guppies, they're going on 3 weeks or so I should have written date down, they would come out at feeding and cruise at the top, I moved them to a 20L within a few days. 

    Before the guppies were born, I ordered some fry food from CO-OP, they also get BS every day that are in ice cube form. (Frozen after hatch) 

    Only things in the tank with them are two java moss from CO-OP and some MTS and a couple of other snails.

    Hi everyone, I did not see many posts already made on this topic so, I wanted to get everyone's opinions on fasting your fish

    Is this about not feeding for a day. I have not done that, although maybe 1 less feeding. Baby guppies want fed a lot.🤪

    Your right the drama in all of our tanks is much more interesting!

    I don`t have any drama in my tanks (I don`t think so 😕) however, I find myself watching less TV (I spend too much time here) and more time watching what goes on in the tanks. I only have guppies and a few shrimp, they are just fun to watch and some to do clean up. The few other fish I would like to find are ones that most would not care for.

    Speaking of tanks almost time to turn on lights and see what's going on.

    a 2x4 is meant to stand up

    Great point, I`ve never seen any type of floor over a say a basement that the plank is flat, it just won`t support the weight, same with steel rafters (I think that`s the word I want) aways upright never flat.

    Would you be interested in doing so? Why or why not

    No, I think you will need a special permit or license which would cost money, also you might need special equipment and maybe a real large tank. I think the whole process would be a nightmare.

    What would happen if you killed the rare/endangered aquatic inhabitant`s.? 

    Well, that's my two cents.😟

    turn a faucet and the water flows out

    I wonder how much pressure would be needed to lift water 20 - 30 feet, how is that pressure maintained (Air compressor) what about an electric pump there are some good units, probably an app to turn on with a phone or what is used to turn on a lawn sprinkler system they move a lot of water. 

    I would have to think about this and what would be the most cost effective.

    glass paint in my local craft store

    I used flat black from do it best, a quart has done 3 - 40B and 2 - 20L / back, bottom, and sides 3 to 4 coats let dry between coats dries fast and still had a little left over. 

  8. When I started back into the hobby a while back, I got 3 different types of fancy guppies (1male/2females) the males were just beautiful, I naturally put in different tanks, over the course of 2 weeks all 3 males died within like 3 days of each other, month or so later 1 of the females died after giving birth to 20 or so babies, then a few days later the other female dies, and I see 1 baby. guppy. I still have 4 of the original females and my daughter got me a young fancy male guppy, he`s strutting his stuff, and doing great.

    All of the loses were probably my fault because of water quality, I feel bad when any type of life passes away, my daughter says my fish, shrimp and snails are my kids😄 I told her then they need to start paying rent and help with the chores🙃

    How important is it to match their habitat of origin when aquascaping

    I have no idea; however, I got some guppies a while back and put in 3 different tanks and the first 15 minutes in each tank the guppies were looking around and they looked confused until it was supper time. then it was oh well can`t wait till next feeding, they do look at me, I think they all want more plants.

    Good luck on your build.🙂

  10. I can guess that there might be several posts about water, but I keep checking my water and most things are ok, I think. 

    When I use test strips, they show my ph. is like 6.4 - 6.8, when I do the drops, it shows between 7.4 - 7.8. my water is very soft.

    My GH is like 0 yes soft.............KH is 0.......I admit I know nothing of water chemistry. (Nitrates under 20ppm - nitrites 0 for the most part and chlorine 0.)

    I ask this because I`ve had a few shrimp molt and one died but weeks apart of different types.

     Now I`m not too smart but it would seem that shrimp would not molt, and more shrimp/fish would die.

    Those numbers are for all my tanks even the newly set up tanks, two are empty and one has baby guppies/snails.

    I have watched videos on this subject; however, most goes over my head, or I don`t take time to absorb the information.

    I`m open to all advice and criticism.

    Thanks all.

    main part of the house then room temps

    For some reason all three 40B are at 70.3d, two 20L, one at 69.3d, and one at 68.5d and a 20T at 68.4d, all tanks in same room.

    I can see the point about maintenance, yes Gup I now agree with what you said before.

    Maybe I`ll just forget about heaters for now. (Sometimes it`s nice to take a long walk off a short pier.)🤪
