We have decided to just transition to a more general community aquarium, but we have cichlid sand and the pH is 8.8 (tested with a API master test...

    Hi, I was just reading about guppies and it says to feed them more frequently, like 2-3x per day? I also want to know how more about guppies, would 2 do okay in small 5 gallon aquarium? but this is for the office so fish wouldn't be fed on weekends, not sure if guppies are suitable. I used...
