    It's fake planted and there's less guppies than that in it now, but I plan to add more soon.

    Are guppy's always on top like that? If so you might want to add an airpump or find a way to circulate your water more. Or add an airpump

    Overal its a good looking tank! :)

    Yeah, they're always on top. I just today added an air pump like not even 10 minutes ago. They don't seem to like it. I think it might be too strong but it's the smallest size they have and it says it's for 5 - 10 gallon tanks. -shrug- I also finally added 3 more, because I had 3 die off and I think my last pretty one is about to. His fins are all nipped up(of course because he's more gorgeous than the rest haha) and he's swimming on his side. )= Since I added fish, I did rearrange all the decorations. The bridge is now on the right in front of the bubbler along with the two colored plants and the shell thingy is on the left in front of the green plant.

    Thank you for the compliment. I love the way my tank looks too. Didn't think it'd turn out that way. [=

    Maybe the fish need to get used to it though. If the'res to much bubbles the water will move TO much and thats not good either.

    You can always try to add an '' Air Pump'' Wich wont produce bubbles but just ''put'' air in the water without any movement. My lfs has some I'll check out the name on monday :)

    If the air flow is to strong then get a long air stone which should help even out the flow, or get a gang value, and open one until you bleed off enough air flow to weaken the in going air flow but not stop the air flow.

    I would go with the gang value personal.

    This a gang value.

    It's a nickname for Ambyr. (= My mom gave it to me. As for her being "pure evil" I'll make my own judgements on that. ^_^
