That's cool with me, hahaha, just one more reason to get another tank! :)

I have a friend with a dwarf puffer and she has let me feed him before. I don't find it much different than feeding the guppies to be honest. I feed them frozen brine shrimp and blood worms which is what I would feed to the puffer, possibly also adding a small 2 gallon planted snail tank for...

So, little update and some news, my guppy tank has finally completed its cycle! And Deuce's tail is fully healed after its tear :) And I have added a new tank to my set up, lol. My brother was getting rid of a 5.5 gallon, so I bought a little filter for it and I and starting a fishless cycle. I...

Hahahaha, this is why I love them too! They just look so cute and silly, scurrying around :) If they already have eggs (as a lot if them did) would moving them to a new tank (once I'm ready!) stress them so that they wouldn't lay the eggs? I just ask because I would like to have them breed, but...

How to I tell if they are an aggressive type?

Really?, I can have that many even with the other things in my tank? I'd love to add 10 ghost shrimp to my tank :)

Was at big Al's last night wasting some time with the family (my daughter LOVES the shark they have so we go at least once a week to see him, lol) and I have absolutely fallen in love with the ghost shrimp :) I can't wait until my tank is done cycling so I can get a few of these little guys! In...

Glad to see Duece will be ok, he is far to vain to live with a torn tail all his life! LOL My tank is doing well, thanks :) I bough some ammo lock and my nitrites finally started to rise and my nitrates are just barely showing up. I still to water changes every day to keep the fish and snails...

Ok, so my male guppies always swim around and chase eachother. They have never been violent towards eachother, just the occasional body check and that's that. Well, I was watching them chase eachother around the tank and flare up their tails and then swim away(they take turns with this) and I...

I just put a blue background in my tank, the wall colour behind my tank is yellow and I didn't like the way it made my water look, lol. I ended up just using some craft paper my daughter had (it was either blue or pink, so I decided on blue) and I really think it makes a difference! Not sure...

We call them Deuce and Levi for short :) I'm a big fan of strange names for pets, lol

Update : Things are still going well, still doing my daily water changes. I bought some API ammo lock (just because I was worried about the ammonia hurting my boys if it spiked during the night) they are still swimming around all over, chasing eachother playfully and the 3 snails are doing...

Thanks for the wish of good luck, so far things are staying about the same, ammonia rising to 1.0ppm and me doing a PWC'S to get it back down to .25 ppm every day. The boys are still swimming around as happy as ever and eating well. So hopefully things will start moving to the next stage of the...

Thanks so much everyone, your advice is really helping. Mastermamo - your fish a awesome! Here is hoping this cycle completes soon :) Off to do my 2nd test of the day, lol, this morning I had 1.0 ppm of ammonia so I did a change again and got it down to .25. I fed "the boys" (actually named...

Good idea! :)
