So despite what I've told that my co2 wouldn't help my plants much since I've installed of ive alot of grow and the plants that weren't doing so hot now have lush green leaves. I'm extremely satisfied for a $6 co2 system

That's good... You are never going to hurt a planted tank by injecting CO2. I am glad it is working out!

So all my plants are pearling quite nicely and as I was admiring it I seen something tiny swimmin around? Guppy fry so I saved the two I found just bc I felt I had too lol but I'm not wanting a Guppy farm so I stopped searching for them (knowing if I seen anymore I would feel the need to save them) guess we will see how it turns out may have a few more to add to my stocking list

As far as guppies are concerned, its like Jurrassic Park. Life finds a way. Even if you don't go out of your way to save the fry, there will always be some scrappers who manage well enough without interference.

So my java moss is ordered and should be here by Monday and also ordered a java fern hoping to get that around Wednesday next week

Ok so I'm slowly realizing that guppies aren't for me working on finding a home for them. Which will leave me with 4 neon tetras, 1 oto, 1 ghost shrimp, and a zebra snail. My question is could I keep a dwarf chiclid like a German ram or a cockatoo with my tetras. If so should I get a pair or just one and get more tetras. If not I'm thinking of just going with a second school of larger tetras like serpa tetras or something.
