    Started a second culture.

    Started a second gammarus culture. I got a culture at an aquarium auction last year. I feed them dead leaves from houseplants I grow out of my aquarium. Feed them to my Betta and dwarf Livebearers.

    Swampy tank ?

    My Gamarus culture is doing well. I fed them some leaf clippings today. I fed them to my Betta (Chester) and my Dwarf Livebearers (Heterandria formosa). You can see a fry. Cool thing about them is they practice superfetation. So they give birth multiple times within a few days. I've been having...

    38 gallon riparium

    Dwarf livebearer tank. I fed them baby brine shrimp and they seemed to have a blast. I've been experimenting with new semi aquatic plants. I've also been doing a little stuff with dero worms and daphnia. My gammarus culture is still doing well and I use the water from it for the daphnia.

    Bog aquarium

    This is my dwarf livebearer colony. I've had them for two years, but recently moved into my 38 gallon. I had them in a ten gallon, but swapped the stock in both tanks. I've had semi aquatic plants with just the roots in the tank since I started the hobby.

    Hey

    I have been a fish keeper for almost seven years now. I keep only Least Killifish and Guppies. I do have plans for expansion on tanks, but not on species kept. I plant all my tanks. My favorite plant is my semi aquatic Pothos. I got a cutting from my grandmother six years ago and now my room is...

    Least Killifish Marine?

    Fishes of Texas - Heterandria formosa I am not sure if it is true, but I read on a few sites that Least Killifish are capable of handling Saltwater. If it is true I might make a tank girl them. I know they can handle brackish water. I know their relatives in the genus poecillia are pretty salt...

    Stocking Livebearers?

    I will be gettng a 38 gallon and 29 gallon tank soon. I want the tanks to be understocked. I was thinking 10 gallon fish for the 29 gallon. I was thinking gambusia or the porthole livebearer. I want to flock breed them so they can't eat fry. Thank you for any help.

    gambusia Breeding?

    I am curious on the breeding of fish in this genus. I will be getting a 29 gallon and was thinking of getting some fish from this genus. I was wondering if I could flock breed them and have a colony of this species?

    Guppy grass?

    I was wondering if anyone else kept Guppy Grass? I keep it in both my tanks and the fish seem to love it. I have read it is great for fry. I am wondering anyone else's experience with the plant?

    Saving Guppy Colony?

    I have a six year old guppy colony that is not doing well. I have three females left, three or four fry left, one or two juveniles, and unlimited males. The females are still breeding but die young. Their spines curve around the time they give birth. I ordered some internal parasite food...

    Ecosystem?

    Would something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FRX9DW0?psc=1 on the back of a ten gallon with Least Killifish in the tank and the thing on the back. I would like to be able to raise food for Guppies, Least Killifish, and Betta.
