Common Name: Guppy

Other Names: million fish or rainbow fish

Scientific Name: Poecilia reticulata

Description: A guppy's body is little—only about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters) long. Males are smaller and more brightly colored than females. Guppies come in nearly every color of the rainbow. Many types have silvery scales marked with dark dots, splotches of color, or complex patterns. Guppies, also known as Poecilia reticulata, are tropical fish that are native to the coastal streams of northeast South America. Their diet should include both plant and animal matter, and you can feed them high-quality flake or pellet food.

Common Name: Cory Catfish

Scientific Names: Corydoras

Description: They are known for their bony plates of armor, called scutes, that run from the back of their head to the base of their tail, and their sharp spines on their fins Cory catfish are also unique in that they can breathe both air and water, and will often swim to the surface to gulp air before submerging again. This behavior is more common when the water has low oxygen levels.

All fish in this aquarium need freshwater to live. Freshwater has a low salt concentration, usually less than 1%. Plants and animals in freshwater regions can't survive in areas with higher salt concentrations, like the ocean. Freshwater is home to a variety of animals, including about 700 species of fish, which make up about 41% of the world's fish population.

Guppies: A single adult guppy should be housed in a 5-gallon aquarium or larger. Guppies occur in rivers, streams and ponds throughout the El Yunque National Forest.

Cory Catfish: Cory catfish are native to South America, where they live in small rivers, streams, ponds, and marshes. In an aquarium, cory catfish are social fish that do best in groups of at least five. A 30-gallon aquarium is usually enough for most species, but pygmy cory catfish can live in smaller tanks.

Molly: A minimum size of 30 gallons is adequate when it comes to Mollies, as these small fish don't take up too much space. They inhabit fresh water streams, coastal brackish, and marine waters from Mexico to Colombia.

Betta: Bettas need an aquarium with at least 3 gallons (11 liters), a filter and a heater. Wild bettas live in shallow, freshwater areas such as rice paddies, stagnant ponds, marshes, and slow-moving streams.

Cory: 70°F-82°F Some cory catfish species may need a water heater to maintain the correct water temperature

Betta: 75°F-82°F Yes, betta fish need a water heater to keep their water temperature between 76–81°F (25–27°C).

Molly: 77°F-82°F Yes, mollies are tropical fish that prefer warmer water and may need an aquarium heater to maintain a temperature of 75–80°F (24–27°C).

Guppy: 64.4–82.4°F Yes, guppies need a water heater to maintain a suitable water temperature all year round

A tank hood helps us to avoid temperature fluctuations in aquariums and also the amplitude between water and air temperature is not big

A cover helps to reduce the evaporation of your aquarium water. As water evaporates, moisture is released into the air.

Both covered and open aquariums have advantages and disadvantages.

Tank lighting allows us to see our aquarium's inhabitants ,fish, plants and decorations. Tank lighting is needed for our fish heath, plants and other organisms. The amount of light needed for a fish tank depends on the amount of things you have in tank. Live plants need at least 12 hours, newly planted aquariums start with 6 to 8 hours per day but fish need time to sleep so constant light isn't good for them and can cause stress so 10 to 12 hours a day.

Most of them go to the top of the surface to get air, but from research you need a air pump for guppy fishes.

All fish in the aquarium get along with each other.

Guppies: Guppies are considered peaceful fish especially towards other fish species. but, there are situations in which guppies can become aggressive towards one another. They typically get along with Cory Catfish as well as Neon Tetras.

Cory Catfish: Cory catfish, also known as Corydoras catfish, are generally considered peaceful fish that are good for beginners to keep as pets. Species like Neon Tetras and Ember Tetras are good aquarium roommates. Cory catfish are generally peaceful and get along with most fish, but they shouldn't be kept with large, aggressive fish.

Molly: Mollies get along with Guppies, Corydoras, and Cherry Shrimp. Molly fish are generally peaceful, but males can be aggressive when they want to mate with females.

Betta: Bettas can be solitary fish and are perfectly content living alone. However, they can be interactive and enjoy having a friend, and some fish like Neon Tetras, Guppies, and female Bettas can be good tank mates for bettas. Betta fish can be aggressive. They are territorial and have been selectively bred for hundreds of years to exhibit aggression, particularly in males. Betta fish can be especially vicious if two males are kept in the same tank, and they may fight to the death.

Based on what we learned, we are adding a heater to the tank because all of our fish require one. Guppies are temperate fish that are happiest in water between 64–73°F (18–23°C), which is room temperature for a temperate fish tank. Betta fish need a heater to maintain water temperatures between 75–80°F. Molly fish need a heater to maintain stable water temperatures between 70–82°F (21–28°C).The ideal temperature range for most cory catfish is 74–80° F. We also will add a tank light for the fishes health, plants, and other organisms.
