20 High 'Left' Aquarium Photos
We had the notion that we would breed Fancy Guppies which have been getting harder and harder to find around here because they just aren't very hardy due to excessive inbreeding. It didn't work out very well and we gave up after 8 months or so.
These tanks have become rearing and grow out tanks for our various species of fry.
This particular tank first held some Fancy Blue Guppies and later on Parrots (from the Parrot Flood of 2001) and Angels. As of December of 2002 it houses 6 month old Gold and Wild-type Angels.

This is as good a place as any for this shot of the "Breeding Station" we set up back in Spring of 2001. It's a 55 economy stand with two 20 highs on top and two 15's on the bottom.

We messed with some fancy guppies for a while, but they're just too inbred to be hardy these days. Livebearers in general just don't last as long as they used to without a lot of mollycoddling.
