Minimum of a 10 gal. Just for adequate space and larger tanks are more forgiving in terms of water parameters

What size tank do you recommend for guppies? and how many?

Some guppies will eat their babies, but if you absolutely don't want babies then get all males.

If you don't have adequate floating plants, the babies tend to get nommed

So the guppies take care of themselves or get all males?
The Old Gods
07:58:34 Void Malign
But yeah. Just get males and it's not an issue.

I tend to just let them be as well, as far as guppies go.

I'unno. I never had an issue. As a kid, we just let 'em go at it. Tank was stupidly overstocked, but didn't have any issues due to how planted it was

I feed my overpopulation of guppies to my angels. Angels are natural hunters and will hunt down the babies. It's enriching for them and they help me out by thinning my guppy population lol

You can either just get males, or give away the babies. I've done both.

SOme of the other live bearers like mollies are harder to tell apart at a glance

I like the idea of guppies, but like I said what do you do if they over produce? Do you have to kill them yourself?
The Old Gods
07:56:44 Void Malign
Yeah, guppies are both live bearers and sexually dimorphic.

Hey Myth!

Yep the answers is the just get males. It's pretty easy to tell the difference with guppies.

I seriously have an assassin I see once a year, if that. He'll pop up occasionally and I'm like "oh, hi buddy. Glad you're alive. Sorry there aren't any snails in here for you to munch on right now." And then he disappears again and I think he's dead until he decides it's time to pop up again lol

Yes, goldfish definitely need more tank maintenance haha.

I also have enjoyed my gouramis if you like them.

Well, thank you guys for giving me extra knowledge, I appreciate that. Perhaps I will use real plants in my next tank. All of my prior bettas lived for five plus years so I figured my care was already as best it could be. I guess I can improve lol

Just get a bunch of males

I did this earlier in the year and I think I want to do it again. I want you guys to be as constructive with your critiques as you can be, last time you guys were really good and I got some really good pointers and ways to improve along with what I seemed to struggle with *cough* lighting *cough*. Rip these pieces to shreds and let me know what I could do better!
These are my most recent pieces that I can show

There's not much I can find wrong with these they are beautiful! But if you want me to be picky here's what I noticed:
On the second picture the front left sock of the mare is inconsistent with the other 3 socks. I would brighten that one up to match the lighting of the other ones. Or you could darken the back left leg to match the front.
The third picture looks a little jagged on the back of the horse. You can try softening your eraser brush just a tad bit so your lines arent so harsh. This will also help your lines look more fluid and natural.
The last picture is amazing but it looks like his legs are cut off to me. Something that will help him look more like he's standing in tall grass is to take your eraser brush and make grass blade strokes on his legs to let the background show through.
These are all very small details and your art is very impressive! Keep up the good work!

So, I had to really look over the images, for a very long time. They are beautiful! And I am an absolute fan of your fourth image, the colour, lighting and shading are absolutely gorgeous. It is also difficult to find things to fix since art is very objective and you are talented.

Now, other than what Chidori has mentioned. Some critiques, or more like tips you can take to your new works.
- Your images are very heavily contrasted, especially the third one. It hides a lot of details that could add to your image, like colour, texture, or shading. I think that's your technique, which looks cool and not really a thing to "fix". But to try something new, you could try something less stark. Like a bright/softer image to test your abilities?
- The first image looks like it's missing a back leg. Not sure if that's the stock or not, but I noticed it and it did make the image look a little off.
- The wings on your second image could be a little more detailed at the joint, and they sort of look like they sit on the withers (unless that's the purpose and I missed it). Nothing too noticeable, but adding in feathers growing to the horse's shoulder, or defining the muscles of the wing attached to the shoulders just add that little extra detail that's nice.

That's about all I see, your work is truly amazing and always nice to see.

I would say the hair could be a bit thicker and fuller:] really just me nit-picking but I love the theme of these and I feel like the top and second one the horses don't quite match the background color wise so maybe try playing with that a little bit more
The last one I have almost no critique other than the shadow could have been a tad darker and the third one Is just stunning with the smooth skin and shading but I do feel like all together your pieces could benefit from some more small details like some accessories or some things that match the theme of the piece as a whole
Edit: I do also notice this quote frequently with your art that your horses cut out is fairly rough and sometimes has a few places where it still has some background
