Yeah it weirds me out still. I'm sure I'll get to a point where I think it's adorable. My smallest guppy is the most aggressive with me. :)

I need to catch up in my additions! A bit ago I added a red tail loach and two African dwarf frogs, and more recently I've added 3 mollies (2 are lyre tail) and 3 tiny endlers. I also have a couple feeder fish for the cycling process in my 20 gallon. (Early stages in prep for an axolotl).

Oh wow. Ok, so mine aren't were then. Lol. That's good

That's interesting.... I have a burn scar where they bite. Coincidence I'm sure.

That would creep me out. I don't think I'll be putting those in my tank.

Maybe this is not the correct place to post this question, please redirect if necessary. Why is it my guppies try to nibble at my arm when I'm moving stuff around in the tank or when I'm cleaning? Every single time I'm in there.. at least one or two of them (there are 6) come in for a bite...

Bought and put in 3 new plants: green cabomba, ceratopteris, and anubias nana. Am currently drip acclimating 3 new guppies.

Ah! Ok. Might be worth getting some in the future. I now have 4 males and I don't want too many guppies so I'll have to wait. Great advice!

I heard they were great as a treat for bettas. It's not a problem to stay away from them. Thanks

I definitely don't want any females in the tank or I would be littered with fry. I'm not in a position to raise them and I don't know anyone with an aquarium to give/sell them to. So I have all male fancy guppies. I didn't think the fish was weak but perhaps he other sense what I can't see...

Oh they do! I'm ordering some for when they're in season.

oh goodness. well, I guess that's it then. There is another one now being picked on by two others. He doesn't seem ill whatsoever so, maybe they're just playing.. it seems like he's under constant chase.

no he didn't jump out... there's really no where for him to get out. Everything's pretty tight. I've shone a flashlight into the plants and everything... I thought maybe he was eaten. Ammonia levels aren't higher than they were last night.. and I can't find any body parts at all. Checked...

.... well I can't say for sure he's dead... because I can't find him. Is it possible the others sensed he was weak and ate him already.. in a 10 hour time span? He's just gone

We wanted a freshwater aquarium firstly because we're new to this and knew saltwater was far above our heads. There are so many fish we love that are freshwater so it really was an easy decision. :)
