Atitagain Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Welcome to the forum, planted tanks are a great next step. I’ve only been at them for about 6 months. Bonus babies, never a bad thing😄. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 😁 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle D Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 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. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 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?

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.

Michelle D Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle D Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 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??? 😢😢😢😢😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
