Yeah some
The plants are a mix. Each pot holds one kind. normal vallis, curly vallis, cryptocoryne, water sprite, and another I can't remember the name of.
In tank there is anubias, hornwort, java fern and recently added guppy grass.
Yeah, some of the big ones had to but the ponds are pretty much left alone. I wanted the strongest fish to survive so that if the were put into our tanks for line breeding they would be tough as nails.

Some pics from this morning:
The Ginga Rubra Gang. There are three tail types: veil, double sword, bottom sword.
Rainbow Ring:
The Snakeskin Syndicate:
The Cheiftan
His Successors
The Endler Type Tribe:
The champ (for now):
The mixed Half Black Bandits:
I am interested to see how this male turns out. He is in the male growout tank with about 10 other mixed males. Hoping it is another ginga rubra delta tail.
Up to this point I have removed all babies and put them into a baby nursery as I don't know who daddy may be from the ponds. The babies born from now on will be left in each tank and only removed when I can see what sex and "type" they are.
These will be grown out and selected for breeding or give aways.

Did some quick editing of the pics.
I am not good at this but will learn as I go along.

Now that all the fish are in their tanks and the groups have been sorted. I have no need to add anymore or move any around.
The pic below shows which guppies are in which tank.
The codes I have been using are:
GR - Ginga Rubra
SS - Snakeskin
ET - Endler Type
MC - Multicolor
BB - Blue Bandit (Unknown strain)
DS - Double Sword
DT - Delta Tail
DSB - Double Sword Blue
BS - Bottom Sword
B - Blonde
AB - Asian Blau (Assumed genetics)
The fry grow out is for the fry that were born in the 6 weeks after the guppies were placed in the tanks. The parentage is unknown so we will grow them and see what they are.
The fry born from yesterday onward, will be left in the tank with the parents. We have added a lot more cover for the fry to hide and we already have around 20 fry in the different tanks.
The females are young and are not yet dropping a lot of fry. the biggest female we have only dropped 8-10 babies. This is increasing with every drop as the females mature and grow.

Some pics form this morning:
The yellow snakeskin male. a bit washed out by the light.
Ginga rubra males bred for more blue
Blond snakeskins are finally getting to breeding size.
the original snakeskin daddy
yellow snakeskin grow out
Endler type double sword
Ginga rubra colony bred for more blue. Although it's hard to see in the pics.

I really like the multicoloured male in the second last pic, he's quite beautiful. If you could somehow breed him and get similar ones with a little more blue that would be really cool as I think they'd be even prettier.
