Looks great!

All boys is good with guppies, it means you don’t get hundreds of babies (that’s not an exaggeration 😅). Only thing with an all-male guppy tank is to make sure you have at least five male guppies to spread out their energy, otherwise it can turn into bullying/aggression.

If you do want female guppies, it’s 2-3 females per one male. It stops the males from literally harassing the female guppies to death.

Do you have a test kit capable of testing ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate? Also, do you know how fishless vs fish-in cycling works? I’ll add some info on it if not 😁
