Well I wish you good luck with your RCS. They are super easy to keep and super easy to breed. And FUN! Of course there not as cool as they were when I first got them, but they are great nonetheless.

The light is a light that already came installed when I bought my light fixture for my 55 gallon tank. It is brand new though, never used by me until now. What exactly is the difference between incandescent and fluorescent? And no the tank is not cycled which is why I am going to run the filter for a week or 2 before adding shrimp
I too think it could be the poor condition of the feeder tank in which the guppies were in originally. But it very well may be the water parameters.
