That's the one I go to as well. I'd heard that they will cross breed if placed in the tank together...fine by me. I've got a female guppy in the tank right now and she needs a companion(though I'm seriously contemplating keeping 2 females from her fry when I can tell which ones they are!) but...

@Cdepriest, the LFS you go to...is it Wet Pets? Did you by chance go ask about the Endlers this weekend? I went today and totally forgot about asking them because as I was looking at the feeder guppies(which I thought actually looked quite like the Endlers) I got side tracked by the ghost...

I'm loving those Endlers! Taking a trip to the LFS tomorrow to get some more glofish so I'm definitely asking about those!

I don't know what size tank glofish need but I'm pretty partial to those. My daughter has a couple right now in her 20g(working on getting more) and they're feisty active little suckers, plus we've got some LED lights that have the black light effect at night and it's pretty wicked...the fish...

My 20g tank finished cycling a few days ago and so far I've got 1 F guppy with her 7 babies and 2 glofish. On Wednesday I'm heading to the LFS to purchase 3-5 more glofish for the tank but I want some ideas on other fish to add eventually. Once the babies get to the point that I can tell whether...

I got really lucky that the fish ladies at Petsmart actually knew what they were talking about. They steered me toward the Marineland setup, glad I bought it. Plus my LFS is actually good at what they do. I've heard a lot of horror stories but mine has been great. Hopefully the OP will have...

No, it's this one. Amazon.com: LED Aquarium Light: Home & Garden I haven't had the tank very long but so far the plants are thriving. My Anacharis is stemming out like crazy...I'm going to have to trim it up soon and it's been in the tank about 2 weeks. The Cryptocoryne has grown really fast...

Whatever stock light that came with my 20g marineland kit I purchased from Petsmart... http://www.amazon.com/Bio-Wheel-Gallon-Kit-Light/dp/B004HSQQKE/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1304976090&sr=8-4 (didn't pay NEAR that price though...)

I've got LED lighting in my 20g and I've got some low light plants that seem to be doing pretty darn well in there. Anacharis, Java Moss, Java Fern and Cryptocoryne Wendtii are all in there and growing like crazy. BTW my light is stock that came with my Marineland aquarium kit...

I've heard the same thing and my female guppy hasn't attempted to eat hers yet(a week later). I'm assuming at this point she won't bother so I haven't worried about separating them. Maybe it's the males that eat them though mine never attempted it either.

It's 8.2. The fish seem to be doing fine with it so I'm not super worried but if lowering the ph means they'll be happier I'm willing to try anything to bring it down. Are the peat and bogwood available for sale through the normal fish websites?

I had my water tested at the LFS this afternoon and my tank is indeed cycled woo hoo! The only thing wrong is the PH and apparently it's because my KH is so high(23, whatever that means). I'm at a loss as to how to get it lowered without the use of chemicals though. :blink:

No and I was really afraid that not doing so was going to seriously delay the cycling process because I've heard that cycling with fish actually takes longer(about 8-12 weeks). I'm definitely going to consult the LFS to make sure that I'm not hallucinating or the kit isn't bad because I'm in a...

I'm using the API master test kit

I've been cycling my 20g tank for about a week, week and a half now(unfortunately with fish). I was advised when I started the tank to add Tetra Safe Start and a source of ammonia(fish). I've been testing every single day with the same results, Ammonia 0.25, Nitrites 0, Nitrates 0, PH 8.0-8.2...
