Scott's spawned in the bag at the swap...ours had the courtesy to at least wait til we got them in the tank. We haven't had guppies for years, I forgot how neat they are..... ;D

I feed most of that guppy fry to my angels that are a little under the weather. They eat them up like they were starving. oh wait they probably where. They haven't eating anything in a while. Wouldn't eat flake or frozen food. But I got them eating teeny greeny now. so I can spare the guppy fry. I love Captain Bob's fish food. I also got the Japanese Blue guppies and Moscow Black into there own tanks. And I have three females ready to pop at any time. I got them in a breeder box this time. I hope the have the babies soon.
This is my new stand for the black and the blue guppies. I have the bottom tank ready to hatch out some angel fry.

It's pine 1x2 I figured I wasn't going to put a heavy load on it so 2x4 might be a over kill. I spray painted it with a paint that suppose to makes it look like stone. It turned out nice. It was like painting with silly string. I want to put led's on the bottom tank soon. I do like three tier stands. I did get the second tier a little crooked. but it's all good.

Remember, even a 10 gal weighs about 100 lbs X 3......you've got some weight on there...

I did do some testing on it. It will hold me up without breaking. there only 2.5 gallon tanks. that's only 62 pounds. There bare bottoms and I don't think the 6 guppies and hand full of java moss weighs all that much. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if I have to clean up water off the floor. I'm sure it'll be good.

Oh. ok....I thought there were some 10's up there......doh... :P

I would of made it alot sturdier for three 10's. I wouldn't want to put one ten on the top of it. I just figured that a few guppies would do fine in a 2.5 gallon. Plus with a tank that small I could make the hole tank into a breeder box with little work.
