It all depends on your tap water. However a 2L bottle of prime (enough for 20,000 gallons) is only $50 so the only way you would use two of those per month is if you have 40,000 gallon of water changes a month which means that is probably yours smallest cost. I would recommend using it unless...

Congragulations. However, why do you plan on removing him? The ammonia he produces as he grows can help cycle the aquarium and you can slowly add one fish or more to help it cycle since it already has some 'starter bacteria'. So much easier than tearing apart the tank IMO:). Plus where there is...

Woohooo using a quarantine tank! Way to go!

Sorry to disagree with you since you seem like your an authorative member:). Nope. 34 fish in a 25g is too many. His fish would probably be better of in a 75-90g. He could probably get away with a 40g if he does a lot of water changes but with that many fish I don't think a 25g is enough...

Find out your levels, it doesn't seem like your tank is properly cycled. The best way to do this now would be to add live plants.

How old is the tank? What are your water parameters? How long has the platy been there? What size is the tank? Pictures? More detailed systems? Lets start there.

I believe you don't move it unless necessary such as if other fish are bullying it. Congragulations. I had one of my goldfish get stuck in my filter (managed to get in through the top :o) for around 3-5 days. When it came out it had shredded scales/sides, bloody tail and was seriously freaked...

Hi. I've recently taken up guppy breeding and I need a few questions answered. 1. How do I know when my female guppies are ready to drop? Look for the signs of the squared belly especially in the front. That's typically a 48 hour warning, however from what I've seen your not prepared to...

Many of my younger ones get around 20, but the one thats been with me the longest gives birth to around 60 at a time.

My fish are quite sociable but I agree with you since my fish do hide more than my platies. However I have a self-made mix of 10+ fish foods (frozen treats + pellets + granules + wafers + flakes ect.), and after I fed them that, every time I open the cabinet (where I keep my food), they all swim...

It looks like your fish will be a parent. However, I have seen that you do not want to be a parent. I can honestly say in my experience from raising thousands (literally) of livebearer fry, it is a great experience, especially the first time, but it does require space and is not cut out for...
