All, I couldn't really find anything definitive on this, but I stocked 33% yesterday, the tank is cycled and the params are good 0,0,10-20 and 7.6 ph.

i got 4 male guppy's within the stock of fish, all of them were drip acclimated for about an hour. everyone seems to be happy bar 2 out of the 4 guppy's who are staying at the top of the tank and wont venture down. Is there anything I can do here or check? I have read in a couple of places that sometimes that guppy's do this and it just takes some time for them to get used to the tank??

getting worries they arnt going to make it.. :(:(

I think they were ok, hard to tell as the lfs tank was pretty stocked, but I dont remember any of them just hanging out at the top. They could have been though I guess?

you thinking that they could have been stressed or whatever from the start?
 
I think they are probably just acclimating to their new surroundings. If they get any more symptoms it could be more serious.
