FrozenFins Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I love when bladder snails come in with my plants! free plants! Plus I love glancing at my tank and seeing a baby bladder snail at work! Good Luck with your guppies! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Have you ever checked out KV Aquafarm on facebook? Located in India. Pretty crazy looking guppies. Just a couple shots here... I bet that some of these strains could easily cost as much as Discus. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 My 2 cents - having lots of sight breaks for the females and plants to hide in is super important. They need a break. Males with flowie fins are slower and eventually catch the females but less often. I agree with floaters but guppy grass and hornwort as well as wisteria or water sprite are great floaters and sight breaks. When you do move forward with a strain you like and have lots of fry I use 27 g totes from Lowe’s and sponge filters saves money and easy set up and breakdown. Happy guppy keeping to the future Royal Guppy Family @GameCzarand @TheCzarista! 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Playz Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I have three guppy tanks set up specifically for breeding and raising and the main thing for me is when raising the fry is a heater. The fry grow up alot quicker in my experience with a heater. I would love to see how this goes! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ease of propagation, the ability to break off some for a grow out tank, ease of care, etc...made it seem like a great, economic option! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Playz Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I started out with one hornwort piece and now it’s in all 8 of my aquariums and I have so much every week when I do water changes I have to throw some away. It’s a great plant but when it’s not happy IT SHEDS. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH Morant Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 There is a pretty funny Youtube video about annoying aquarium plants in which a guy tells how upset he is that hornwort needles were all over his aquarium. He has ptsd from hornwort. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Hornwort: prefers cooler water. Closer to 80° = closer to Charlie Brown Christmas Tree needle drop off. Also, hornwort needs nitrates, so dose Easy Green as directed on the pump bottle. (And if you buy it at an LFS in Texas, ask if they call it “Coontail”) Edited July 21, 2021 by Fish Folk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess thats why that one gave up the ghost ive always wondered why. Thanks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can’t find Hornwort the Mayaca from Aquarium Coop is similar but easier to keep under control. it’s the plant on the right and the far left corner Edited July 21, 2021 by Patrick_G 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’ll do both, but it’s sold as rooted plant in a pot. It’s a fast grower for sure, and looks better in person than on the Coop website.

GameCzar Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Just got an order placed for all our meds through co-op, along with some Hikari Fancy Guppy, got my 6 pack of Mutts on the way! We're super excited to say the least. Picture just to gaze at until they get here. 😉 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameCzar Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) No guppies to look at yet today, but they should arrive tomorrow! But what DID arrive along with my med-trio from Co-op was this gorgeous Nana Petite. Also what we affectionately refer to as the "rednecky" has melted some lower leaves but the top leaves are SUPER vibrant and the roots are going nuts.

GameCzar Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Well we just got our pygmy cories in from AquaHuna, and I don't know much about them but I feel like they sent us juveniles at the least. I didn't expect that when I dropped these that I would be concerned on if they were small enough to fit in a Guppy's mouth. Is this normal size? if so I wish I would have went with a MUCH larger breed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Those are juveniles for sure. I bought mine in November and they were only slightly bigger, but now they’re about an inch. I like them a lot but I love my Panda Cories. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double checked their website, and the pictures do show them smaller than a penny. Hopefully they will fill out so I can actually watch them.
