Nice choice, they look great! I thought I had outgrown them but I saw some solid black ones last year and needed them in my plant tank. They did really well and didn't Bother the shrimp. I was getting over run with them and gave them to my brother. He has a half empty pool in his yard and it stays above 70. Filled with mosquito larvae. He and the fish are both pretty happy now.

So I went a direction I didn’t think I’d go. I went by a LFS on my work trip. They had just gotten a big shipment of different color guppies. I really like these guys so I snagged three different colors and a pleco.
Good choice - beautiful fish! Looks like it's getting close to trimming time for the pogostemon...

I'm digging the selection! I'm a fan of guppies as, IMHO, they have some of the most beautiful coloring. Sometimes it's not readily apparent but upon closer inspection it becomes evident.

Forgot to post yesterday’s @crusso1993. Also, in a work trip but went and spent a few min on the eliptical tonight.
Great consistency! Don’t forget the progressive weight resistance training [emoji1320]

Thanks, I had no intention of going guppy but they had just got the order in and had about 5 color variations. The colors made the choice for me.

For sure, I just want to drop some weight first. I used to be a gym rat, so I’m looking forward to hitting the weights again.

I don't think I've ever experienced this kind of growth, I was out for 2 days and it's noticeable. Today is water change day and apparently trimming day. Fish are doing good, it appears I have lost one, but the other 8 and pleco are doing great.

That's great! I must admit, I've been a total slacker, as of late. Will be making appropriate adjustments though!

I've done some but not as much as I need to.
Picked up a green tip forgspawn, a purple tip frog spawn, 2x purple hammers and a 8 polyp acan rainbow frag for 90.00 local off craigslist over the weekend. Dipped them and they had far less hitch hikers than my LFS that charges about 3x that amount for frags o.0

Sounds like a solid SCORE!

Sorry I haven't been around guys, it's been kind of crazy. I have questions for everybody, and some news. I've been at my job for 17 years, only job since high school. A year ago I was offered a job and just about left but changed my mind at the last minuet. Well they have came back and again I find myself seriously contemplating going for it. Question is that means moving my tank already. It will be coming with me to the new office, so it would be a tear down and put back together the same day. Trying to figure out if I do end up taking it, what would be the best way to go about. Do I just drain all the water and leave substrate and plants in? Or do I uproot them already and replant again?

Thank you, I haven't signed the offer letter yet. I'm going to take the weekend to think on it. I think it's a good career move, but I'm leaving some potential big bonus money behind. Salary is comparable either way, but not bonuses on the new job.
I have to agree, and I may go ahead and change substrate while I'm at it.
