Guppies Again?

Yep, we just got 4 guppies (all female). FYI, we started off with 2 guppies in the original small tank and they both died within 2 weeks of purchase. What makes us think that we should try again? I have no idea but Bryan's baby blue eyes when he saw the guppies may have an influence in our decision.

At least the 4 new guppies (2 red tail and 2 yellow tail) looked much bigger than the previous 2 and hopefully, this will give them a fighting chance to survive in the community tank. 3 of them looked to be gravid and looks like they are fertilized. Hopefully, we will get a lot of fry's from them hence making the investment worthwhile. :)

If you don't already know, Bryan likes to buy fishes and pouring them into the tank ... being a 2.5 year old and all, that should be about what we think we can expect from him. He also likes to "scoop" the fishes i.e. transferring them from one tank to a temporary tank for water changes ... although I've now reverted to doing water changes at night when he is asleep to avoid the "scooping" activities from scaring the fishes.
