Is that a 37 gallon?

Looks nice so far. I'm going to be making a planted tank out of a 37. It's going to have mainly guppies I think. Speaking of which...I like the one in your pic. I love purple toned guppies!

Hi,

There is this co2 set available Charterhouse Aquatics

There is a guide to making your own pressurised co2 system in the planted section of the forum, it can be done for about £80 but if not done correctly can be extremely dangerous.

The one in my pic was also magenta. Hard to tell in photo. It was pink/purple/and orange with a bunch of peacock spots. I haven't seen any since. Would die to get more.

wow fab tank jo

 

[Larkspur]

No! I don't.

They were my hardiest guppies. Had them about 6 months and one passed on and then after an ICH treatment the other died a few weeks later.

I've always had troubles with guppies. They're not nearly as hardy as people make them out to be. The only reason I was able to keep the 2 magentas was because they were born and raised here in town and not ones shipped in from across the world. The fish store owner actually advised me to get them because I was getting so disheartened with the others. I'd kill for more! Maybe not kill, but would probably pay more than I should...haha
