Yeah.. it is like an oil type thing.. how can i get rid of it? And is that a sign my filter isnt working??

Okay, so I bought a filter the other day for the fry tank.. and it isnt working well!! The water is a bit.. scummy at the top..I dot know if that is the right word to use.. but there is a film on the water at the top. Not sure if thats from the filter not working or what the problem is. I lost...

no. I looked at other pics.. and it looksmore like a tetra.

Thanks! I have checked Ebay and the other online stores. I havent decided what I want yet. Thakns for the advice!!

Thanks.. I have been trying to get a closer pic. but it seems that whenever I goto thte tank for anything, it swims away really fast. But now that I have an idea (I thougth tetra at first), I will go and look online at them and see which one it looks like more. I wouldnt mind getting it some...

This is the new tank set up. I removed the gravel and added the sand. The sand was really not hard to clean at all!! Anyways. My platies seem pretty happy in there. But.. I am finally going to ask.. there is one silver fish in there.. I have no clue what it is. When I first got my fish I...

That is how I clean my tank actually with a syphon.. to pick up stuff off the bottom of the tank.. I just didnt know that the fry would live through being sucked up.. I removed them and put them in a bowl lastnight. I used a cup to remove them. I sucked up a dead fry yesterday like that though...

I am in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Thank you. I will check them both out. I basically just want plants at the moment. I want to check out the fish as well.. but mostly just plants. Thanks again!

So, I am starting to really enjoy this fish keeping!! Its fun. Anyways.. I dont get to the city often to check out the fish and plants but would really love to get some plants ad maybe another fish or two in the future. Can anyone suggest a good online fish store? Thanks

Im just wondering what you mean by "sucking up the fry"?

Thank you! I am happy that they are finally here.. I am not expecting them to all live. I have them in my 5 gal. tank so hopefully that helps things a bit. I cant wait until they start showing color and what not. Will be neat to see. as long as 3 or 4 survive from thisv batch, I will be...

Thank you!! I am very excited to raise the fry. hopefully they survive.

Nope.. I was wrong.. there are 14 alive!! I hope they survive. I did a water change.. I moved them out of the tank while I did the water change and clean up of the bottom..so none would go for a ride in the hose. They all look good. I ended up putting the heater in the fry tank as I raed it...
