It will come. Just a word of advice. When I had guppies two got pregnant and after giving birth they died shortly after. I think now that it could have been prevented by separating the mother to feed her and build her health back up before joining the pack.

Hey, CO2 will not battle algae growth actually too much may enhance algae growth. So take particular notice to changes in the water. I just started using the seachem products yesterday. I started dosing Flourish, Flourish Iron, and Flourish Excel. I will post a picture when I get home but I...

Hey, The indirect sunlight may have an adverse effect on your tank. It will promote algea growth. Many people suggest putting the fish tank where there is little natural sunlight. I have just purchased some Flourish Excel and it came in yesterday. I am going to start dosing it tonight. I...

These look like some form of Hornwort. I would just trim the. Directly below one of the leaf outgrowths. Then place that trimming in the gravel to let it take root. This should propagate the plant. You could also float the trimming to let it grow first. The growth will depend on the...

That's good. I tried breeding guppies but I did not have much success so good luck I hope it works out great for you

Guppies gestation period is around 21 days. I am not sure about the swimming up and down. Do you plan in moving the fry to another system or keeping them with the rest of the fish.

What type of plants are they? For example my rotalla indica is just able to be snipped and then put right back into the substrate and they take root quickly. Other plants I am not quite sure off. I know my dwarf sag just sends runners so there is no need to manually propagate them.

I used fluval stratum to for substrate and I love the stuff. It is fairly light but great to plant. For lighting the average to go by is 3-4 watts per gallon at 6000k but since you are doing LED's I would be curious how well they work I almost did pick up an LED fixture for my 20 gallon high...

I am putting a glass top on my 20 gallon because i had a fish jump the other day. I am also going to be dosing the chemiclean that I purchase as well because I have a cyano breakout and I have tries everything I could. I cut light back. I vacuumed the tank. I lessened food but it still comes...

Hey that sounds like a fun new setup. I have yet to use dirt in any tank so I can't help you out in those areas but are you essentially saying you are capping the dirt with sand?

Thanks

What's up people! I am new to this forum but been in the hobby for about a year. I am still learning a lot. I have a 20 gallon tank with 6 tiger barbs, a Dalmatian Molly, and an Albino Skirt tetra. The tank is planted and doing good. Can't wait to join in on a bunch of conversations here...
