A bunch of easy to grow stem plants planted together and allowed to grow to the surface will provide excellent hiding place for them. Many bunches planted close will be even better. Possible suggestions: Anachris and hornwort and whatever else which is not too demanding.

So you will not have to worry about that. But when i clean my tank i sometimes take out the java moss, or a clump of it just because you will have so much! I would not worry about it dying!

As long as the Guppy fry has somewhere to hide. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
