Surprise! Guppies

I had been looking to get a start of Java moss for quite some time, after hearing it was an excellent ground cover, easy to grow, and great for shrimp. I had just set up two, two and half gallon tanks for shrimp, they just needed to be cycled. But I was still researching how best to do that, finally coming on the conclusion to put plants and good bacteria from Castiel's tank in the two smaller tanks and wait two months, and pop some shrimp in the tanks. Java moss is supposedly very common and it seemed like it would be easy to find. However to buy some over the internet would mean high shipping price. Finally I asked one of the employees at a local aquarium store if they had any, and he said not here but that he would bring some in for me. Great! Problem solved, there might be an unwanted snail or two in which case I'll soak the moss in salt and it will be fine. The reason I didn't want pesky snails is because they reproduce like mad. Eventually I will get a mystery snail, which are easier to control. After work on Wednesday I went straight to the aquarium store to pick up the moss. It was packed for me in a plastic zip lock bag with plenty of tank water to keep the moss from drying out. As I watched the bag of moss while waiting for the young employee to ring it up for me, a little baby fish swam out of the moss in the plastic bag. I was surprised to say the least. He packed the zip lock bag in a brown paper bag and and I stowed it away carefully in the back seat where it wouldn't flop around. When I got home I dumped the contents of the bag into a bucket, shaking out the moss in the water gently before removing it back into the bag. I then used a net to scoop out the baby fish into the uncycled shrimp tank. I couldn't put them in Castiel's tank, because they were a good snack size for him. Once the fish were safely transported, I took the moss to the kitchen sink and rinsed it thoroughly because there many a snail in there. I filled the bucket with water and salt and let the moss soak for an hour or so. I have had no sign of snails in the tank. I learned that the babies are guppy fry. Likely newborns when I got them. Guppy fry need to be fed four to eight times a day, and need a lot of protein. Their meals are as of now;
Fish flakes that have been crushed in a zip lock bag.
Hard boiled egg yolk with a little water to make a paste.
Blended frozen brine shrimp in water.
Brine shrimp aren't as high in protein as baby brine shrimp, so I will be getting some eggs and hatching them out myself soon, along with microworms.
They are doing well so far, the sponge filter is set very low, I have to keep the tank very clean to avoid an ammonia spike, and I put Castiel's moss ball in their tank to promote good bacteria build up in the filter.
They are not at all what I expected or planned, but they are adorable little babies. If they grow to be male and females and reproduce, I will be getting a ten to twenty gallon tank for the bathroom next to my room and starting a tank for guppies in there.
With each surprise comes new opportunity to learn.
Happy Bubble Nesting!
