im back from the LFS and heres what i got

[livebearerfreak]

well fist i got rid of my JD for 4 dollas and used the JD money for feeders then used my 20.00 and got 6 new firemouths to grow out for the 20 ( just a pair for the 20 rest i can sell back she said ) and i can breed them and sell them cause noone else does that so shes letting me do that and i can make money off of her for them YAY. and i might be putting down my other cons tonite or tommorrow or give them away.

o and the 4 dollas i used for free feeder gups for the cichs

so any1 now how long tell the fms get over the shyness and all? theres about 10 gupppys in there tnak ( took teh last 2 remaining from the other tank so now theres about 12 ) but there feeders tho so dunno if thats much help for them

What do you mean put down the cons tonight? Do you mean kill them or trade them? Also as I said before IMO a pair of FM's is not a good idea for a tank of that size but hey it's your decision. Hope you get a breeding pair and make some dough. Also the FM are shy? Usually they aren't IME when putting them in new tanks. So you now have a 20 gallon with 6 FM and 12 guppys correct?

Good luck with your project . . . peace.

That is a lot of bio-load on one tank. What is your filtration like? You will also need to prepare to have extra tanks setup for growout of fry, and storage of juvies/subadults when the stores don't buy all you have.

20 gallon long/wide
