    Some people have good strains of Endler guppies available too. I bred guppies a long time ago with some success.

    pocila is the family which consists of guppies, sword tails, sailfin and short fin mollies as well as gambusia (mosquito fish) these guys rock to breed and are fun for the "Pro in training".

    PS whaaaaaaa i got home to find two of my males and one female dead!!!!!!!! found them in the filter.............dont know what happened but ive lost six fish in a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ive read about plants poisoning the water (recently removed a large amount of plant from tank) but not sure please can some one provide a valid answer!!

    Regards DS DG

    oh and khalidmanack nice gups! My look identical except i can count hem in one hand......................cant seem to breed large amounts?

    If they are aquatic plants that you got at a shop then they cant poison the water.
    What are your water conditions. How and when do you do water changes??
