Hi guys :) Tanked I'm in the same boat as you..ICK has taken over my tank uggghhh.. I believe mine started due to adding the new platy's ( one has since died) He was bullied from day one.. kept a close eye on him but no luck.. :/ My mollies have it the worst.. Could they have contracted it...

Hi guys/gals fresh veggies...need tips on the best way to add them to the tank...do these veggie clips work okay?

with any luck they will "come Back" as fish and end up living in a tank run by people just as stupid as them...they have no heart :sick:

:flowers: :fish: Welcome aboard...everyone here are great at keeping us newbie's afloat.

Beautiful. I had the pleasure of going to Key West 2 years ago. It was so peaceful & relaxing. Did not want to come home actually. :D Would love to go back again. Thanks for sharing the pic * Duval Crawl was rough Lmao *

and to think my family thought I was nuts for wanting the 125 gal! Wow that is huge! You will have to post more pics so we can all drool :D

:thumbs: Very nice great clarity on those pics

Les they are the funniest! it's pretty fun to watch them Waddle around the tank. My mollies & platy's do fine together. If you decide to add the salt just do it very slowly in small does until everyone adjusts.. I have heard that the tetras will be okay in a slighty salted tank... lol matter of...

:thumbs: Got my finger's & toes crossed for ya bigfish...I know you have been waitin' for them babies! Lots of Luck keep us posted :D

:o Don't forget the Mollies! lol ;) mine all eat the same thing's ( 3 mollies, 3 platy's, 1 pleco) they love the bloodworms..looks like a feeding frenzy :lol: P.S. WELCOME WELCOME :nod:

nice looking pair. :thumbs: Love the rock formation

:thumbs: Congrats! I just had some platy babe's too.. :wub: I'm new to fish keeping but the other fine folks here have told me they have to be at least 1 inch before rejoining the main tank. That way they won't fit in the other fishes mouth's :sick: lol. Unless of course you have some of the...

Aww I really hate when any of my babies pass.. I always end up depressed for a few days.. It is hard when we become attached to them so easily. Hugs

thanks WWW Don't have the exact dims yet...gonna get the tank in say another week (waiting for carpet to be installed in new house) Thanks for the external filter info It just helps to know what your looking at lol I'll let ya know more on the tank once I have it in the house... I do know...

I think in my case it was pure dumb luck! lol But hey any luck works for me :lol: :thumbs:

Thanks... I think if They are okay without salt I may just try to keep it saltless...as I said in my" beginner" post I'll be eventually moving them all into a 125gal. and want several tetras so the salt may become an issue.. The babies are so sweet!! But boy was I shocked to find them that...

:D Tanks a bunch Les, Kryten, & Fishsmurf... I was thinking along the lines of the tetra's & cory's... I have decided to stick with the peaceful community tank with only smaller friend's. That way the kids can each pick their favorite species and we will have alot of variety. How many pleco's...

Hi everyone, Hope you are all doing great! Anyhow I will be getting a 125gal. in about 2 weeks..Will be setting it up slowly . This will be a community tank, fully planted with lots of hiding area's.. What are the best tankmates for mollies, platies & tetra's.. oh I also have 1 pleco at the...

:nod: Well I now have platy babies...Geez they were quick lol, Have no salt in the tank. Just got luck to buy a prego platy..Wasn't really expecting to find some this quick lol I'm so excited! Molly Momma now Platy Momma too... :thumbs: :thumbs: :wub: :wub:

:thumbs: :D :D Just thought I'd let everyone know I just bought new fish lol (like that's a big surprise here LOL) I bought my first platies. 2 female, 1 male red wags. Geez I had a heck of a time decidin' which ones to get, kids love the Mickey Mouse ones ( have to surprise them with some...

Just wanted to add my 2 cents for all it may be worth... I lived in a town that had water problems constantly... at the time I only had betta's 1 each in a gallon tank...the britta filter works okay for small amounts at a time. But if you have to refill, recycle & maintain a tank 10 gallons or...

hi Kryten, bettas can be very picky eaters. Try Betta Bio-Gold by Hikari( pellets). I have had luck with that or Betta Bites. 3-4 pellets a feeding and my guys seem to do fine, no problems (knock Wood) :lol: Try not to give bloodworms too ofton to high in fat Hope this helps Good Luck :thumbs:

Hmm very interesting TAA it is still a cool pic

:thumbs: Very nice :thumbs:

nice tank indeed :thumbs: We are moving and hubby told me I get new livingroom set...I said set included a new tank he said" If I can't recline on it forget it" I said "Here's some goggles jump in "

Hi I'm new to this fishy world and have only fake plants... in my tank I have these dense short thing's that were called fry cover have no clue what they are representing in a real plant but you could find them at lps. I want to eventually get real plants too... You may want to post this in...

:nod: Yep spoiled boy that Charlie. As gad said just try to give him the pellets..sooner or later he will eat.. I'm surprised that your other betta eats the flakes too...never seen a betta eat flakes..Have you tried the bio gold pellets? I've had alot of luck with those. my guys tried to...

Frogs are cute.. thought about having a few in my tanks...gotta research though because I know Nothing about them. They have to get along with my fishy darlings too :thumbs:

:lol: Brad now behave :lol: just kiddin ya... Welcome frogette!!

Hello & Welcome Don't do like I did :*) and add fish too soon .It is really healthier for your new friend's if you cycle first. You won't run into nearly all the problems I did. **head hung in shame** Good Luck!

Hello & welcome I have little tanks too..children 4 LOL :D :P

Welcome :D Come on in, have fun, offer advice, or get some. :D See ya around the boards

:lol: Really cute! Cat says "Yum sushi, now if I could only get the stupid top off!"

Josh, How would you learn if you never asked a ton of question's? So feel free and I'll do my best to help. :D I've heard that tetras do well with bettas so do mollies :thumbs: Dwarf frog's. No guppies they are to similar in finnage.. Females can be just as aggresive as the male...

OH WOW!!! Okay Eddie next tank I get I'm having you design it for me :lol: very creative with the levels.. Can't wait to see it planted :thumbs: toodles :P

Hi Josh, Wild betta's are found in rice field's. The closest you would want to come is natrual substrate suchas small stones & a planted tank. Angelfish can't be with bettas because of the finnage. A betta would probably make short work of your poor angels. :-( Male & Female betta's should...

Welcome! I'm a newbie too.. My best advice for you is do not ever forget to check with this site! hehe Everyone here are not only a friendly bunch but give the best advice. Good Luck & see ya wandering the board sometime :thumbs:

Rough up the divider with sand paper and put some plant coverage so they don't see each other constantly. They need to flare some "betta exercise" but you don't want them do it all the time. It would open them up to disease, stress and blown fin's Hope this helps :D

How about taking a ziploc bag instead of the cup that way you have more room to add the new tank water and you can float the zip closed bag in top of tank. I have gotten alot of conflicting advice for my guys. Add salt, don't add salt, full changes etc.. I now rarely listen to the lps..I get...

The only thing I can come up with is to tell you to slowly acclimate him. Try to do this over a couple of hours. He should be fine.What are you using for the fin rot? I would leave him in the 2 gallon without the carbon and treat the finrot before moving him to the bigger tank. I have 2, 1...
