Not to my taste.
Why have pink with pink fish?
Are the danios glofish or dyed?
BTW one of the orange mollies is male. |

They are glo fish... I found only those in the LFS. Goodness me! Do they dye the fish as well? How does the color stick to the scales?
The orange mollies are all female. May be the photo might have shown them to be male. I just read about the use of higher ISO exposure to improve photo quality. You can expect that in the next batch of snaps in a couple of weeks.
By the way my plans was to get the regular zebra danios (blue and brass colored). In India they treat them as feeder fish apparently and they come only occasionally. But I could not resist buying these danios. Just love their agility. |

Ah GloFish - wish we were allowed to import them here 'cause I'd definitely buy some!
Agreed as far as the pink background though - perhaps change it so the pink fish show up better?

Background is changed to aqua blue with a few images of aquatic plants. Not my favorite background especially with the kind of substrate I use. You will see it in my next batch of snaps.
Actually there was no background in the tank earlier.  That was the window curtain behind the tank that you saw in the snaps. I'm still waiting for a plain aqua blue/pitch black background which highlight the fish well. |

Indiaqualover, some of your new male guppies look like the fry I'm rearing. They're 5 months old, they came from a grasstail mother and unknown father. Beautiful fish.

Hi Keithkyli,
Nice to hear. The are very hardy fish and keep my tank very active. What is the feeding schedule you have for the fry?

Nothing special, I just give them ordinary flake food 2 meals a day.
I have to keep them in an unaerated plastic box because I don't have any other tanks, and my angels would devour them in the main tank. I have put some hornwort there for oxygen. I guess they can be put into the main tank at about 10-12 months old.
At first I had the idea of rearing them for a few months, then selling them or giving them out. Then I thought they were too beautiful to be sold and my friends couldn't take them. Sadly about half of them died in these 5 months, now I got more males than females. I know I'm not giving them the best conditions but, well, they are hardy.
