I've had fish aquariums for years I've never done a planted tank just now starting the planted tanks well I've been in it about 3 months and last week I put shrimp in my shrimp tank first shrimp tank ever, I've already got babies!!!!😆  Got them already buried I guess...😁

 Funny thing I somehow have teeny tiny baby Guppies in my shrimp tank, I didn't buy them but I got them... Lol 🤔

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 😁

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. 😊

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. ????? 🤔🤔941983316_20211115_1658172.jpg.521fb102ba537d926a8565651be9883e.jpg941983316_20211115_1658172.jpg.521fb102ba537d926a8565651be9883e.jpg20211115_165809.jpg.5cabd0249cd651aaa1690b57cdb59887.jpg

Welcome Michelle, looks nice. Keep us update on how it goes with the 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

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?

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.

@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. 07F0B0E4-40F8-4FAC-89A8-00534A80FC44.jpeg.9290a76f6cce5f923a635e64d6a900dc.jpeg

ricefish fry

both are egg scatterers. Have fun with your fish and shrimp.

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??? 😢😢😢😢😢
