First of all thank you for this detailed response! Sorry for the late response, i had just started working nights. For my Lights: White LED(2x long bars with about 15 LEDS in each) Just basic lights that came with my tank. I got a Salinity reader that has that arrow that moves when you put...

I am about to order some salt, and some bacteria to get my cycle started. Id rather not get damsel fish since i dont want to keep them. I have a LFS i can head over to after my salinity is stable and get some live rock with coral. I noticed he sells tiny individual corals, so idk if he sells...

Mine nips at guppy fins. But as long as i keep him fed he seems to leave them be most of the time.

Here is a picture. I currently already have lights, a filter, and a heater. The current filter was used in freshwater, but since its already broken in im just gonna switch over to salt. I plan on hosting clownfish and some type of sand dweller to clean the black sand. Here are my questions: -...

Thanks for all the input guys.

Yeah i want to stay away from female guppies or mollies. Not looking to get more fry. My last female's had 40 kids. Those are some of them.

My male guppies I bred are starting to get aggressive because the gonopodium's have fully developed. Here is a video kind of explaining my problem:

Not sure if i would trust the test levels. Those are chemical reactions that are being created and if the chemicals are old they may not work correctly.

Test results Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0-5ppm Ph: 7.8 This is after a week of not changing the water. Tomorrow is change day.

Yeah thats why im asking here. Its more or less repeated information on google. I want more insights from members here. My betta gets tail whipped by other fish during feeding time, and he doesnt even care lol.

I have a 29 gallon tank with 1 male betta and 7 male guppies. I am searching for some tank mates that will live an equal lifespan as my other fish. My betta is 1 year old from what i can tell. And the male guppies are 2-3 months old. What fish would you recommend i house with them? I was looking...

So i did a relook of all of them. And theyre all male now except 2 of them. Which i will be seperating from there. I now have 7 male guppies, and 1 female thats already heavily pregnant, she had those boys. I will be donating the female to a fish store tomorrow, to prevent inbreeding.

My fry were all looking female until this week. When my guppy males started developing their gonopodiums. They are growing them fast, so im thinking i either need to seperate them or take them to my lfs for in store credit. Is this normal for males to take this long to develop their gonopodium?

Alright update. I got rid of my 10 gallon because it had a sick guppy so i moved my betta to the 30 gallon. Picture update on fin regrowth with water changes: I am ordering hikaru betta biogold today along with my liquid test kit. I feel like his color is coming back, but could be better with...

That was the general idea i had and then i was going to add more slats in the middle on the top and bottom for extra support just to be safe. I want to add doors, so i may need to add more wood in the front also.
