Decided To Make My 30 Gallon A Guppy Tank

[wendywc]

So I was thinking of 18-24 guppies with a plec. I'll probably do 18 total with 3 different kinds... so 3 groups of 6. Right now, I'm just shopping around to see what types are out there. Never had guppies before, so I'm looking forward to them.

DISASTER WAITIN TO HAPPEN please buy all males. else reproduction in there will be mayhem also remeber dont get sommon plecs get Bristlenose's

 

[wendywc]

No negativity needed... there's no problem. I have a LFS down the street with bristlenoses and I've been looking at various tanks there that are exclusively males.

Good deal, I don't think he was necesarily being negative, more just a warning that could've been put a little more friendly

I think guppies would look amazing in a big tank like that. I think males would look nice and colorful, but females and males would look great too. Good luck!!

It Sounds like a good setup! Are you getting all male? Because if you get both you will have 100s of babies in just a few month! Make sure you put some pictures up when there done!

 

[wendywc]

Yeah, I think I'll get all males. I don't want to give myself the work of having lots of babies. I'm still shopping around to see what color variations/types are near me. I found some lyretail males and neon blue tux males, but I would love to see and possibly pickup some cobras.
