Guppy Grass (Dunning, Chicago)
My Guppy grass has taken over two of my fish tanks and I'm going to trim more than half today. That will leave me with lots of perfectly fine Guppy Grass that I don't want to go to waste. I have live snails (Ramshorn and Bladder snails) that will most likely be on the Guppy Grass. First come first serve.
