    I really wanted to make a natural style habitat for these awesome looking guppy fish. I'd never seen them before so for me at least, they are rare. I love the look of the simple scape which although simple now, should evolve really nicely over time. Lot's of trimming and replanting should have the aquascape looking thicc and dense in no time and hopefully the hairgrass creeps everywhere!

      @MD Fish Tanks I thoroughly enjoy continuing to watch your videos.
      One potential thing that would possibly make fish happier: feed fish before introducing new fish, and then turn the lights off to reduce the risk of new fish being mistaken as food.
      Edit:
      MD @ 23:25 there's no foam pre-filter on the uplift tube. How are you going to keep guppy fry out of the filter?

    Great combination. The arrangement is a typical of flower arrangements as most tank set ups are. The basic triangle etc but the trick to me and I’m sure yourself is the fish that links it all together. Spot on about to much red as the fish bring that into the mix, stunning.
