I simply hate those tiny plastic boxes with a grill where pregnant females are put to deliver their fries. They produce a lot of stress. Here’s a picture with my “natural” nursery, floating aquarium plants, where fries hide and survive very well. You can see many platy and guppy fry below:

I’ll start this blog with my main fish tank, a Juwel Rio 240 liters. Notice the plug timer down left? It turns on the light at 11 a.m. and turns it off when I go to sleep at 12 p.m. I love the Juwel aquarium because it is elegant and the filter it came with is silent. I sleep in the same room and I can’t hear it!

For now, I have livebearers in it: mollies, xipho, platy and of course my love – guppies. I intend to move them in other tanks and redesign this aquarium, with more plants and different fish, maybe tiger barbs which are very cool.
