The tank is a corner tank and really does not have a lot of traffic, good point. I guess I was thinking since they came from fish stores they should and would always be used to people around. Also, from the other posts I think I will try to add more to each group. Thanks!

Sorry Tokis, my signature hadn't been updated in a long while. I have since updated it.

Hi, I have a 45 gallon ocatgon tank. It has mainly tetras, cories, non aggresive fish. I bought a Gourami, which I was told was a non aggresive community fish. Well, other fish starting getting picked on and nipped at so I took him back to the store. Not sure if this is why my fish never seem...

I was feeding twice a day and now I've only been once since there are not that many fish. I will get the test kits as soon as possible. Tthanks all for all the great advice, much appreciated!

Maybe a bit earlier, I think more early October. I bought about 10 fish after 2 weeks after I set up the tank and let it cycle, of course Petsmart didn't say that was a no no. Then I added 3-4 at a time. I blame myself too, I should have studied up on it more. Shouldn't have just relied on the...

I have lost about 8 fish ( don't even want to count) in the last 3 days. I had my water tested the last few weekends at Petsmart and they assured me my water was ok. They used the stick test. Then Sunday they used water testing and said my nitrites were high. There were numerous changes all...

Not sure how often I should check mine. Weekly, monthly? Thanks!

Really CuppaT, you have a misbehaving guppy too? Is he bothering one specific fish or others as well?

I'm not sure about buying some female guppies, I don't have room for tons of babies I'm sure they would make! I'm just real surprised, I really thought guppies were peaceful fish. It's normal then for them to be nippy?? I think I will bring them back to the store then. Though I know it's...

I just had the water tested last week and all was fine. Why do you ask about the water? Can the water readings changed the behavior of fish? Thanks!

I have 2 fancy tailed guppies that are TOTALLY driving one of my Orange Platies nuts! I am 95% sure both my Platies are male as I compared them to the picture and post pinned by William. I'm pretty sure the guppies are also male. Two of the guppies will chase and kind of nip near one of the...

How sad, I found the lil' guy dead in the sharks house last night. Doesn't seem to be eaten at all, maybe he was just sick in the first place.

Then why the heck are a lot of them picking on each other? Today my two fancy tailed guppies are totally picking on my male Orange Platy. I don't get it? They are chasing him around and nipping at him? I'm going to give up I think! lol Or do I just have to understand fish are going to nip and...

ok, maybe I need to look harder it they are that hard to spot. Thanks all!

thanks for your comments. No he is not similiar in size to the other Cory, he is way smaller. My daughter loved him so we got him. I will get a couple more Cory's. Does anyone think the pleco would have eaten him? Also, he has to be in the coral house I have where the rts normally is. Ugh oh!

How long are they pregnant for?

My rts is not too aggressive, but very territorial. He has taken over my coral house. My question is, I really want a peaceful tank that all my fish can enjoy. Would the other fish be happier without the rts so they can use the house too? Thanks.

HI all, I bought a baby Albino Cory yesterday as I've been hearing my other Cory should have company. He is very little. He hide in the sharks house all yesterday and today I can't find him anywhere. Are Cory's that scared? Was it a bad idea to pick such a small one? Thanks!

Thanks for everyone's input! ;)

Thanks all for the great suggestions! :cool:

Ok, I finally figured out they are both females.

I am pretty new to all this and I really thought I could trust my local pet store. Apparently, I was incorrect. I'm learning on my own, through books and this site, thanks for all the help so far. I think I may have numerous questions in the next couple of weeks and would appreciate any input...

I posted this in chit chat probably should have posted here. I posted a bit ago about one Black Molly bugging my other Black Molly. This is still happening. One seems to almost swipe the other with it's tail and will NOT leave the other one alone! UGH! I thought they were supposed to be...

I posted a bit ago about one Black Molly bugging my other Black Molly. This is still happening. One seems to almost swipe the other with it's tail and will NOT leave the other one alone! UGH! I thought they were supposed to be friendly fish? I can't tell but they both seem to be girls? Any ideas...

Thanks all for your help!

Are Glass Catfish ok alone or do I need muliple of this type? Thanks

I just got 3 fancy tailed guppies a week ago. Everything seemed fine but today one of them has a huge part of his tail eaten. I tried to sit back and watch which other fish did this to him but I didn't see anyone bothering him. Below is a list of what I have. It's a 45 gallon tank. What should...

you're right I guess I should have mentioned the type of fish I have... hmm, let me see now... 2 Black Mollies 2 Orange Guppies 6 Neon Tetras 1 Catfish, I think it's a Nose Pleco Catfish 1 Redtailed Shark 2 Hatchet fish 1 Tequila Sunrise Guppy 1 Redtailed Guppy

Hi, I have a 45 gallon and I feed only tropical flakes. Is this enough? Do they need live food? If I give them live will I have to always give them live? Thanks, Patty

Thanks Many A Molly, will do~!

Hi, I have a 45 gallon tank and it's been established with fish for about a month now. What do I need to be doing to keep it clean? I read that I should change 25% of the water on a weekly basis? How does this work exactly? Do I need to treat the new water before it's added to the tank? Thanks!

Hi, I had two Black Mollies and one died. I bought another one yesterday to replace it. The new one seems to not leave the one I had alone. He keeps putting his mouth near the other one's tummy?? What can be going on, any idea? Also, how can you tell the males from the females? Thanks much!

I have a 45 gallon. Today I got 6 neon tetris, 1 catfish, and 2 red tail sharks as the girl at the pet store said that would be fine. I had some problems with the alkiline and lost most of the new fish I bought last week(I felt SO bad), but had the water tested today and all is fine. The two...
