Someone my cherry shrimps died sadly. The tank has been looking a bit bare, so I brought home six little female guppies! There is quite a good supply of algae grown on the glass and the tank has been going for several months now, so hopefully they will thrive. I am hopefully getting a bigger tank so I can start cycling that soon if all goes to plan. Fishy will upgrade and the four shrimps (two cherries and two Amano shrimps) and the six guppies will take over Fishy's old 25 litre tank. Guppies are often fin nippers, so they can't share the new 54 litre tank with Fishy as his trailing fins (Fishy Foo is a Siamese fighting fish) would be hard to resist. But I might try some White Mountain minnows as I think they might be lest predacious. I will need to think about it. I will take some pictures, but I want to take them in sunlight if possible as it should help to pick up the nice shiny, shimmery bits of colour on their scales and fins. I am glad to say that are eating really well. They get on very well with the shrimp, who are delighted to have extra food coming into the tank.
