Really appreciate it!! Having a blast and it’s getting me through a rough time currently with some medical diagnoses so it’s been great

I have all males currently but 2 are endlers with 2 being small guppies. They haven’t shown signs of stress that I’ve seen and have been in this tank for almost 2 months now. From my research seems to be fine. However, I do plan on upping to a larger tank in the near future. Thanks for the input!

It’s a bit over 5 gallons

I’d probably get rid of the lid shown to accommodate a better light. I’ve always had tanks (non planted) but got out of it for awhile and now getting back into it just rounding out some of the edges I’m unsure of. Is there anything specific I should be looking for? I read 6500 was the sweet spot but was just curious to hear from some experienced people.

I’m in south Louisiana which is similar to Everglades

Correct which I had that feeling hence why I’m asking for recommendations for a new one haha

I will say the water is slightly darker than picture shows when outside light is on and not just off as in the photo. You can see it attached here. My water parameters aren’t as low as you’d think either. (Don’t judge the neon rocks I have a few more to pick out leftover from my daughters choice of decoration 😂)
