Tons of plant cover. That is key to success in my opinion.

Yes! They actually came 1 day early. (Post office text updates don't work). So far so good. No DOA but both bags were starting to leak so it's a good thing they were a day early.

Just bought some black Thai guppies. I added 3 tanks to my fish area last night. Adding 2 to 3 more today. I'm ready to rock! !

Well I was in an accident 5 years ago and it just settled so I came into some money and I'm investing some into my fish hobby. Trying to make it a small biz so that the fish pay for themselves. Probably a pipe dream but gives me something to do and a stress release. My parents are both disabled in some way so I have to help them and I'm finishing my master's degree so I have a decent bit of stress. Lol!

They are nice fish. I'm stuck on delta tails for whatever reason. Just personal preference. I can appreciate the others though.

Has anyone heard of black Thai guppies? They look to my untrained eye to be the same as black moscows.
