Nice pics... I think you should be able to put more fish. Just keep up with water changes/:'

Wow, what a major difference from the green water

You could add something like a single dwarf gourami, although it may end up eating your guppy fry.

It would be nice if you could find some small cories, like pygmaeus or habrosus.

thanks guys!
Teresa, a dwarf gourami is a good idea. i might have to wait until the fry are adults though.

thinking about planting it too. but thats how the green water started last time....

i might have to use fakes.

Nice looking but certainly requires plants to give the fish shelter. Try using a floating plant to start of with.
