Yes it will be okay, as long as they are positively all the same sex...You Dont want fry, same as me. Find that out, how to tell the sex or ask the lfs, yesterday i met an actual very informed employee, who knew loads. There is actually a fin that you can tell if they are male/female...

:o !! My fish might have this too! I noticed gold/yellowish behind the fins of my gupp, and i have no idea what it is....Velvet is a light dusting of tiny white specks, i thought. I thought it just might be his colours, but he doesnt have any on his talk or anywhere, just the behind the fins...

You can boil or nuke them in the microwave, I like to use frozen best lol, then take the shells off, cut up into little peices, and drop em, lol No idea on how much you should use though, cuz i only needed 2 for my guppies :rofl:

I have the same problem....although the temp doesnt drastically change in short time, this week has been the hottest ever( 30-32 degress with humidex!!) around here, for a long while ( I live north of Toronto about an hour, its usually never this hot) Good to know i can keep my fishies cool :rofl:

Are you sure its not internal worms (like i just recently had :-( ) Are there any other symptoms ? I'd second trying the peas, they worked a charm for me, and my guys love them!

Bought new filter media, blah blah read my other post in tropical chitchat for the details, medicated(Parasite remover) and they show no signs of even stress!!everything is fine now. (or so it seems)...Thanks for the salt tips, i'll remember that

Well, i bought Jungle tank buddies parasite clear, and the 10 gal is totally infection free, except the fishies in it possibly, lol Boiled gravel, deco, washed tank with hot watern salt, ran filter with nothing in it but hot salt water, rinsed it, and water is all infection free...Thew infected...

Well, i had to Euthanise one of my guppies today because i figured out (with the help of you guys!) that he had Camallanus, or internal parasites/worms. I dont see any of the red threadlikes showing on any of the 3 remaining, but I was really wondering if I could try an Anti-Internal Parasite...

Is there any meds i could get to help?? There are internal parasite meds at my Lfs, but are they just a rip off?? Update: their in the 5 gal, looking gloomy, i'm running the filter as we speak, the medium looks pretty disgusting :blink: i think i'll buy a new one

Yeah, he is getting so bloated he swims a bit funny now ...I'll update after the tank is all cleaned out...thanks

Thanks SO MUCH...lol...I hope this doesnt wipe out my tank!!....I'll have to start later, could you tell me where the Euthanisia thread is again? :-( :no:

Thanks.....well, will the pother guys live?? I mean, there will be no bacteria right, and wont the water levels go nuts? Plus i'm out of dechlor almost, i guess this will have to wait till tomorrow after babysitting :-( :-( ...thanks so much....yes i have a 5gal tank, nothing in it i think...

Thanks...well....what about the others....the infected one, was the first one i ever bought, :X :-( ....Are the rest going to die, do they have it??......aah@#&$%#%*&!!!

I....I'm not even positive it has these yet....and my parents will FREAK, because they paid for it and he was expensive in their eyes, and to them (they dont understand even cycling, let along disease!!) theres no reason to put it down....I dont know what to do, well i have a 5gal, but only 1...

Isolate WHERE? is the question....And are you serious? :-( :-( No other fish show symptoms, what can i do!!! :o

My guppy has seemed bloated for a few days now...there was 2 of them bloated and i fed some peas, and the other has returned to almost normal, so i'm guessing his problem was constipation :lol: But my one guppy is still very bloated, and while i was looking for poop to see if the peas worked...

Does anyone have just a bunch of info on Swim bladder disorder, and what you can do about it if you see symptoms ect....Nothings wrong, just want to get educated about fishy abnormal behavious :D lol

Well, just lookin to add a few more to my ten gallon atm, as i said , 4 male guppies, so any suggestions on what i might be able to add in, would be great lol something pretty easy to keep, and energetic would be great I like Platys and mollies (the onews i've seen) ...any suggestions on those?

\Oh...well good too know they all will be okay, the ones i wanted were like a baby blueish and baby pinkish, they did look a bit unnatural maybe Either way, i guess buying just for feelimg sorry, is how they make their profit, other tha n the attractiveness!!! Thanks for the warning. :no: Do...

just wondering... I'm think of buying two painted tetras in the next month, will they be ok with 4 male guppies (they all get along now lol) Its a 10 gal

They're fine now, also in the new 10gal, so more room for each to claim they're own lol....lotsa of places to hide too :P

I definately dont have room for babies, nor want any! ..and i have 4 together...just checked, they seem fine, just ocasionally picking on eachother, while other times swimming peacefully almost like a school?! ...Guess they just are getting to know eachother or whatever But how can the...

I'd like to know what kind of treats could i give my livbearers?(Mostly guppies) what kinds of things are low-cost, and i have at home? any suggestions are awesome

I just bought two new guppies, and broiught them home....but my one guppy, the oldest lets say, is very aggressive, and stalks and keeps attacking the other two (new ones) he did this to my other one when he was new, and he survived...now he doesnt bother him at all....Just mostly stalking annd...

It's just a thought,....but what kind of algea eater could i possibly get for a 10 gallon tank, if any...lol...and is there any other fish that would eat leftove foodsand help clean up, ect....not that i'm lazy, i just never know if i'm cleaning the gravel too throughly, and I'm still learning...

Thanks lol, i am finding same...i'm taking this last fish back, and i will use the money towards some aquarium salt or something else for them, instead of a new fish. Out of 2 mollies, 1 platy, and 3 guppies, 2 have lived (i bought them all at seperate times, the most fish ever in the tank was...

I've heard 8 - 12 hrs max...The less bright light the better, so they can rest, and have less stress (would you like flourecent lights on you all day and night?) Thats just what i've read so far on here Ps..can the fishies see in the dark? Does anyone know..lol

Really? Its just the one, lol never noticed any other ones doing it He's yellow and black speckled, with a black dot a little away from his eyes on each side, so when they are blavk it looks really freaky lol i'd get a pic, but he wont stay still, ;east not for the camera :rofl:

I say a few guppies...they are so pretty!!I'm still a beginner, but i think their pretty easy to keep, considering a few mishaps my oldest has endured so far... :/ Just no girls and boys or you'll have some cute littles asap :crazy: Mollies and Platies are nice too

I'm planning a move myself very soon...from a 5gal to a ten...i thought if i take out half the water in the ten and replace it with the water from my five, will it be ok? I'm also going to use the old gravel, and same filter & sponge, will this be okay? that would be a 50% water change, am i...

My guppy has been acting normal, since i got him , yesterday. Except his eyes are odd, they go from normal (whiteish ring around like other fishes are) to sometimes all black....it happens with no notice, i've watched it!! ...he'll turn around, and i'll notice they're completely black, then ten...

No no no...I now have 3 MALES!! Sorry about that, i decided 2 more males....they chase eachother sometimes, i'm hoping that will be ok, nothing serious and i watched them last night for hours lol Yes, when i do get a bit more money, definately before i get my new tank running, i will buy my own...

well, i have one filter that i'm using now, the hang on back kind like you said , but only one.... I thought i might want to use it for my new tank, but doesnt is mess up the cycle by taking all the good bacteria from the gravel? I dont know, i like my HOB better anyway, i wont have any...

I finally got my 10gallon, but it came with an Undergravel filter, which i am still undecided to use or not.... I've heard mixed results, and my research is the same. Any suggestions? I want to get this tank up and running soon, so any input would be Super! :D

Well today i got my water tested there, and the guy was really nice and did it twice to make sure, and an extra ammonia test. The only thing wrong, he said was the pH was a bit high!!! ...i got some pH decreaser, and plan on using it in a few days, when the new guys arent so stressed maybe. i...

Well today, it is absolutely essential that i take my 2 fish that passed away back to get a refund. But their policy i'm told, it that they give you new fish!....i don't really want any new ones yet, but if i did get a female fancy guppy like the male (i'm pretty sure it is)...will they mate? I...

Just a question....the top of the water is starting to look a bit foamy, almost like the bubble nests my betta used to make...is this bad? I still have not been able to get my water tested, but i took a few pictures of the Guppy, well tried to. He wont stay still long enough lol, i'm sure the...
