    Good day.

    On their website they state black earth is safe for most tropical fresh water fish, due to it being acidic.
    Will I be able to keep guppies in the planted tank that has black earth in it?

    Thanks

    I belive you will. I have Black Earth in my cube without any problem to the fish in there. I don't think you need to worry about the water being acidic, the fish will adapt to it without any problem. Very nice cost effective substrate for planted tanks.
