Question by hawksy: How will not lighting an aquarium affect the guppies that live in it?
I have a breeding pair in a tank without a light (awaiting the arrival of one) and they seem really slow, and are spending time in places where the flow of the filter isn’t as strong. Is this because of the lack of light or should I be looking at other issues?

You should be looking at other issues. Not to many fish love strong currents.

This is my 2 fish tanks in the 11 gallon tank there are; 2 dalmation mollies, 1 panda oranda (Hercule), 5 red wag platys, 1 mickey mouse platy, 3 clown loaches, 2 golden gouramis, 2 tropical blue rainbows, 2 scissor tails, 17 neon tetras, 5 rummy nose tetras, 5 male guppies including 3 lyre tailed ones, 1 long finned albino bristle nosed pleco, and one upside down catfish (Which hides in the rock all the time!) Tank 2 1 (Not well) red male Betta splenden, 1 standard bristlenosed pleco. one of the dalmation mollys in the 11 gallon tank is currently pregnant and is therefore in a livebreeder tank, as i am trying to successfully breed my own livebreeders. Any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I was look at getting Tropical fish but I don’t what any fish that are over 3 inches. Can anyone give me a list of fish that are 3 inches or under?

Please and Thank you!
I was think about some Guppies, Platies, Tetras and Otocinclus do you think they would go well together?
I was going to get three of everything and 6 teters

I know dried blood worms and baby brine shrimp are good, but if you are unable to get your hands on that at the moment, what are some other foods that guppies enjoy and are healthy, particulary foods that have greater amounts of vitamin D? Are their any households foods or vegetables that go good with a tropical fish flake diet when cut into very small peices? I just want my guppies to have a more nutritious, healthy, and exciting diet.

Thanks for all input, advice, etc.
If you’re an experienced guppy owner, please help a fellow friend out!
