I was considering uploading all the pictures I've taken of the tank since my last set of pics, but that'd be picture :spam: , so I'll spare you and just give you the pictures I took about a minute or two ago of the tank without the ivy.

The plants are growing quite a bit. It might only be me, but I see a huge difference between the plants now and in the last set of pictures.





what do you all think of it?

 

[Kaosu]

its looking good! yours girls will be much happier with live plants!!!^_^

still think you should have little smaller caves.

 

[JK_Fish]

Thank you Kaosu, I'm working on the smaller caves, but all the terra cotta pots are missing ... I think my mom is actually using them! So I'll have to buy some terra cotta pots or decor once I have more money. I'm still going to have to put the silk ivy back for more cover, but hopefully I can buy more live plants and get rid of the fake ones soon.

The girls are coming, they're coming, they're coming!!! They'll be shipped out tomorrow, and will be here Thursday! Unfortunately they'll only be insulated, with possibly a heat pack, maybe not. I know I should have waited for their owner to for sure buy one, get it shipped to her then ship them out, but by the time that'd happen, I probably wouldn't be able to get them due to a crazy schedule.

Thursday is going to be a mad rush from tutoring to home to get them out of the bags acclimated and floating in tupperwares to see each other, then back out to film a school project, then back home to feed them and take pictures before homework.

^_^ sounds like a busy day!

just make sure when adding them to turn out the lights, and add them all at the same time.

If your putting the ivy back then go ahead for the first few days you can always try taking it out depending on there aggression levels with in a week or so.

not all females are mean, iv had some that dont bother anyone..infact i have one in my guppy breeder at the moment with out as much as a nip, and others who will tear each other to shreds, or anything in its tank.
females are most likely to be docile.

good luck! im so excited for you and pic pics pics!!!!!

ill have to show you a few of my old females....i think i have pics somewhere.

I'm not going to add them all directly. I'm planning on adding the most submissive of them all (Phoebe the yellow hmpk) to the tank right off the bat, and having the other three floating in clear tubberwares, so I can add one girl once a day or so from least agressive to most, I'm praying that they'll start reforming their previous pecking order peacefully through the 'cups' without too much violence and fin nipping. Hopefully the slow introductions will allow them to get a few meals in their bellies without having to worry about too much competition.

Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to keep the lights off and dim for about a day once I get them

I'll be sure to post pics, and lots of them once they're here!

Lol, I'd love to see your old girls ^-^
