My Male Guppy "Thunder" had a split in the middle of his tail...it looked like he had 2 tails :look: I didnt put anything in the tank to help and it is healed now :) I dont know why it split I didnt see anyone nipping his fins :blink:

Yes it is...I have a Male that almost killed my female I had to seperate her from him, until I got some more females now hes bad but not as bad...Its good to have at least 2-3 females per male

I breed Mollies and my female gives birth every 30 days, except for this batch that was born 9-3 they were 3 days early :lol:

Males at 6 weeks and Females at 3 months :)

I have had some fry that was darker than the others it wasnt color but it was how they were and when they finally got their color the darker ones were half blacks

I have the same problem as you Ford....I have a HUGE Silver female Molly that is terrorizing(sp?) my tank!!! :crazy: She is trying to kill my Guppies, chasing my other 2 female Mollies and has had many battle royals with my Male Black Lyretail Molly :unsure: I have even seen her trying to...

Thanks for your input Inchworm :) I think I will try the fishless cycle, and if I run into any problems I will ask everyone :lol:

Yes I read your article, But Im not sure if I could do a fishless, Im scared :o :lol:

Sometimes the stress from the birth causes them to die...about 3 weeks ago one of my Mollies gave birth to 34 babies and she died 2 days later, with no apparent reason...Aslo when the female is older and has a bunch of batches the stress is too great for them...I have 2 female guppies that have...

Thanks everyone :D I really do think they are Silver Mollies!! and they are the cutest little things I have ever saw :lol: They are even cuter than my Black Molly babies!!! :unsure: SHHHH dont tell them that!! :fun:

All I have in the tank is Mollies and Guppies, and a pleco I really think they are from my Silver Molly, she must have been pregnant when I got her cause she hasnt been in the tank long enough with my Male to be his...They have a top fin like the baby Mollies...The color is what is getting me...

I was feeding tonight and I noticed some babies in my tank!!! :o Well I managed to save 12...The thing is I dont know who they came from or what they look like!!! :fun: They are too big to be Guppies and too small to be Mollies...I have babies from Guppies and Mollies and these are NOT the...

You want to come see mean then come take a look at my tank!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: My Male Black Lyretail Molly is a beast!!!! and He has met his match with a HUGE Silver Female I bought, she runs the tank now :lol: But ALL of my fish in the community tank fight!!! The other day...

Female Guppies will get a little bigger than the males...I have 3 Females that are about 1 1/2 inch and my Male is about 1 inch...I also have Mollies..My Females are about 2- 2 1/2 inches, but I do have a Silver Female that is about 3 inches and my Male is about 2-2 1/2 iches...I think it all...

Yes they can be together...But depnding on how many fry tou have of each, IMO I would get nothing smaller than a 10 gal...Cause if you have too many in one tank it can stunt their growth and it will cause bad water conditions..The bigger the tank is the better :)

Yes I have some bad luck this month... "Raven" died after giving birth so she wasnt sick "Flamer" died like right after I got him, so I think it was stress "Whisper" died from Mouth fungus that I didnt catch in time I guess and now "Magic" unknown causes

"Magic" one of my Female Black Mollies died today :-( I noticed yesterday that she was just staying in one spot only moving a little bit..She didnt eat anything at all yesterday...Last night I moved her to the hospital tank (in hopes for the best) But woke up this morning to find her died...

I have some salt in my Baby Guppy and Molly tanks, I didnt add the whole amount you are supposed to, and it hasnt hurt them... I also have salt in my community tank that has a pleco, and it hasnt killed him, matter of fact hes doing really well, growing BIG and eating his algae wafers, and...

aquamanis..... are you doing small water changes? Like only 10%?? That may help some, It will slow your cycling down but its worth maybe saving some of your fish.. If your Nitirites start to rise, you are near the end of your cycling What are the fish in your tank, I dont recall what you had...

I totally agree with you lordmoose :D I have been keeping fish for many many years now too

If the questions give you such a headache then IMO stopping posting and asking questions if you dont want responses!!!!!!!!!! :S Everyone has the right to say what they want, we are just giving opinions, not telling you what to do :crazy:

Green??? I bet that is neat :D I breed Black Lyretails I currently have 38 babies!!!! I just bought a Silver Female, and Black Female (these are regular tails) and a Light Orange Lyretail female...I am excited to see what kind of babies i will have since the only male in the tank is a Black...

BTW give your tank another week and you will see how much damage can be done if 1 or all your fish die cause of the HIGH ammonia or Nitirites...I learned the hard way... :sad: Your Guppy giving birth..well that was because either she was due, or the stress bought on delivery...Are the babies...

All those Guppies I posted are Show Guppies...I dont think you will find one in a pet store, you have to get them from breeder... mrv....Yes there is a problem with the Males Guppy tails being too big and causing a curve in the spine...I have had Beautiful Males before and they have had such...

I have a question...I have some baby Mollies that are 6 1/2 weeks old and what I was wondering is when they can start breeding? I am gonna seperate them, but I am not sure when they can start breeding... :o I know Guppies can start for males 6 weeks and females 3 months..But I am not sure...

I breed Guppies...So I would wait a little longer until the belly gets bigger..If you put her in there too soon it will stress her and my cause her to abort the babies.. I feed mine finely crushed up flakes, and a product called Fry Bites..I feed them 2-3 times a day

The only reason I am doing so many wc is that I have a Nitirite spike..In my other tanks I do wc every week... I do rinse the filters in tank water about once a month...I had to change the filter in one the one tank that has the Nitirite spike cause I couldnt clean it anymore.. Everyone in the...

Yes I am doing wc every 2 days or sometimes sooner if I have time...I changed my filter media, and I must have not put enough from the old in with the new, I think thats what has caused the spike in Nitirites.. The tank has been running for a while, it has been cycled.. My ph has always been...
