Guppies are considered easy and hardy but the truth is they are overbred and alot of them have bad genes due to it, so losing some is gonna happen in some cases. Endlers ( for now ) seem to suffer less from this. More and more fish in the hobby are starting to suffer from bad genes and some breeders and pet/fish stores are doing the absolute minimum to keep the fish healthy to cut costs, add to that the stress of moving/shipping between all stages before they hit your aquarium and its always possible u lose a few.

Fortunately, I haven't had any issues with gas pockets releasing & doing anything funky to my tanks. I add a 1cm clay layer to the bottom of my tanks (it's from the yard, sifted & has a deep orange-red color from the iron content), then the compost-soil layer with ferts (bone & blood meal + ash from the burn pit), then the sand layer. All of those I inoculate with water from the neighbor's pond to start up the bacteria load & let everything set overnight before hardscaping & planting.

I want to try clay and inoculation in a future tank, seen people get some great results with it.

@@GlassBoxDiaries Yeah, just be on the look out for planaria, dragonfly larva & whatnot. I've been fortunate & all I ended up with was detritus worms. I also took the water at the end of winter, before things had a chance to lay eggs/emerge. I also LOVE your guppy/endler projects as I'm doing the same thing - I'm going for red & black combos myself with mosaics, tuxedos, black moscows & Venezuelan endlers. I'm only on the first generation, but they're starting to show their colors. Happy Fishkeeping! ❤

Good video Shaun. Unfortunately, limnophelia sessiluflora is super hard to come by here in the U.S. What light are you using for this tank?

Great tank! I am going to add guppies to my 29 too! I think the moss dried out when you were planting. That is why it turned yellow.

Cheers mate, good point about the moss, I was thinking some of the pots might have been on the shelve longer before the shipped it to me.

Great tank, currently debating whether my 190L should be a massive guppy farm or i should make it a south american dwarf cichlid community. Quick question as your voice sounds familiar, you dont also have a channel about drones on YT do you?

Cheers mate :), I havent tried cichlids yet but I do like the look of them. No mate, there's a big KZitemr in the Drone niche and another two in the Cruise niche from my home city though so we all sound similar :).
