I have placed three virgin female guppies in a 10 gallon with an already pregnant female guppy, than I moved my favorite male to the tank in hopes of having some fry that look like him. The only problem I am having is that he seems to have taken a liking to the female that is already pregnant...
Definitely don't use paper clips. They will most certainly rust and foull your water. I agree with ninjouzata the silicone can be simply removed with a razor when you want to remove it.
I ordered mine from petsmart. 10 gallon kit was 29 bucks. Try Craigslist my dad got a great deal on there for his 55 gallon and 180 gallon setups. Lots of people just can't keep up with the hobby and will sell the whole thing for cheap.
Hi and welcome to the forums, everyone here is very helpful and mostly friendly, I'm just beginning myself and this site has been invaluable..
Nice choice on fish less cycling, :)
What are your ideas on stocking.
Haha. My dad just got his first ever tank and its saltwater 55 gallons. 3 weeks later my mom calls me to say he just got a 180 gallon. It's so funny cause when I lived there he was always getting on my back about the little 36 gallon bow I had Asa kid lol
Hi looks like a good plan, I have that same tank heater and thermometer. I use it for a qt tank.. And that heater keeps it toasty, I sometimes have to unplug it during the day
