    Hi fellow fish keepers.
    So, I finally got me some really nice guppies for my 2.5ft tank, and it looks nice.
    The tank is 105L with about 40 guppies in it. I have some plants, white gravel, driftwood and 2 sponge filters in it. I bought the guppies for a huge special at a LFS for R4. It was this low because I bought 40 guppies.
    The tank has been running for 2 months now and is fully cycled.
    There were 52 babies born an hour after putting the guppies in. I still have about 18 out of 25 females to give birth.
    I had seperated the adults and babies. The babies are in a small round tub.
    I am planning to get some more hornwort for baby protection, to keep the adults from eating the fry.
    Here is some pics of the tank and fry:

    Thanks @MariaS.
    I really try my best with my tanks.
    I dont go to Wazeers Aquariums at all. Had some bad experience with them.
    I want to to get rid of my tetras and other fish that I have in my 2ft tank and get it ready for some more guppies. I want to swop them for guppies...

    Well.. the hard work is sure paying off.

    Touch wood, haven't had a problem with Wazeer's but I guess these things happen
    I was very annoyed at another LFS though, its probably the third time it happens that I see something I like and want to buy and they tell me they not selling the bigger fish until they get rid of the 5cm ones first...
    The 5cm ones will last 10 seconds in my tank so I didnt buy anything....
    But anyway...
    I dont have any guppies at moment but they do make a stunning display
