Food: Algal remains, Diatoms, Invertebrates, Plant fragments, Mineral particles, Aquatic insect larvae.
Light: 10-16 hours of light a day
Temperature: 78-82
Space: 1" of fish per 1 gallon of water.
My table team and I will meet its need by taking the temperature of the tank everyday so that we can be sure its a good temperature. We will then make sure the fish have enough to eat and that their is not to much crowding in the tank. There probably wont be a problem with crowding but you can never be to careful.
I predict that the guppies will react to their mini-ecosystems by expressing a curiosity about it and exploring around it being very active. I predict this because guppies are known for inspecting everything from habitats to predators. I don't believe they will show any aggression to other species as they tend to be very gentle fish. I believe they may poke at the snails and tubifex worms but only until their inspection satisfies them. Otherwise I think our tank will work very nicely together.
As shown up on top their is a 1" of guppies per gallon of water.
