Guppy Tank
1/31/20
Introduced additional male guppy. Planning to introduce additional female within a couple days; she was housed with a sick fish that ended up passing away, so she's being isolated to ensure her health.
Added 2 red cardinal plants.
Took the time to name all the guppies (all names starting with G, of course) as follows:

Females

• Gene; black tail + "lipstick"
• Giselle; red/black tail, blue dorsal fin
• Guinevere; yellow tail, blue dorsal fin
• Goodie; red tail, yellow dorsal fin
• Gemini; blue lyretail
• Ginger; cream/yellow

Males

• Gideon; shiny blue-green and black, red tail
• Gulliver; platinum
• Galileo; translucent blue
• Giles; orange "psuedo-endler"
• Giacomo; yellow snakeskin
• Gonzo; blue snakeskin

Ginger is the one in isolation, for the record.
Spotted around 4 babies (really fighting the urge to call them guppy puppies...); leaving them in until they're big enough for me to see and catch easily.

Rinsed out filter cartridge.

2/1/20
Introduced 3 amano shrimp (unsure of their sexes at this point; best guess is 2 males, 1 female).
Removed glossostigma; it was beginning to melt, with no noticeable growth... RIP. Replaced it with 2 small anubias and added liquid plant fertilizer.
Spotted more babies, pretty sure I know who they're coming from - Guinevere appeared to be in labor last time I checked in on them.
Ginger still in isolation, still alive, no apparent signs of illness.

Rinsed out filter cartridge again; was clogged with stray plant matter.

Baby Tank

Hi

6 Female guppies?

Spotted around 4 babies (really fighting the urge to call them guppy puppies...);

Yes that will change fast, with 6 females say 30 fry each, every month.

Guppies are also known as million fish, you start off with 6 males and 6 females and in no time you have a million fish.
