hi, im about to get some guppy andi dont really know wot decor i should get, ne1 know wot are the best thing to use to make it look as natural as posible
 
Guppys dont really need much in the way of decor.The only thing I would reccommend is that you plant the tank.Use plants like hornwort and java moss.The hornwort will give the guppys somewhere to rest and both plants provide good hiding places for fry if you are intending to breed.Mind you the guppys will breed whether you want them to or not :)
My livebearer tank just has pea gravel on the bottom,a large bit of bogwood on which the java moss grows and quite a few plants .As well as hornwort I have a few vallis and a couple of crypt plants.
 
I wanted to get hornwart and java moss, but none of the stores near me had those and my platy was prego and now i know my other platy was too since shes poppin out babies in teh main tank...anyway if you can't find those I got a frilly plant something to give cover for the fry as they go straight tothat...i found one fry almost on teh leaf of a red/green plant (fake) and its body was sorta redish color so it helped hide it from the other platys that were looking for a snack...good luck !
 
thanks for that, i was wondering if i should put ne rocks in there aswell maybe in 1 corner
 
Rocks are nice if you make them into little caves for hiding places. Females will appreciate that, when they want to get away from the male, or give birth, or something. :)
