How close is my guppy to giving birth? I wanna separate her because one of the males is constantly chasing her, but I don't want to do it until it's very close.   Edit: Trying to figure out how to attach pic...

Yea it's definitely a little bloated, the pineconed-scales are more noticeable to me though. I have a 10 gallon tank, 2 adult guppys, 1 guppy 4 months old (not sure if that's considered adult), 5 black neon tetras, 2 albino corys, and 1 guppy fry. Nitrates are a little high though, gonna have...

Hey all, Today I noticed that he was just hovering around one area of the tank. I attached a picture for you guys to see. Now from what I understand dropsy is almost incurable, especially after being uncovered at a later stage. Should I euthanize my poor guy, to save him from the unbearable...

I guess I'll go to the local pet store or maybe Petco to purchase one.

I had a feeling that was the best option I just had to confirm it. Thank you very much! :)

While doing my weekly water change, I noticed a single fry swimming about and I quickly removed it. As of right now, I have it in a betta bowl that was unused. Should I go out and get a breeder net to put in my regular 10 gallon tank or get a separate tank to set up and maintain for breeding...

Well just tested, looks like I'm somewhere between 2 and 4 ppm. I have the API test kit and it says to put the test tube against the white area beside the color chart and it looks like it's somewhere between there. It's become obvious that my SafeStart experiment failed. I guess the next step is...

Here's one example: Tetra SafeStart REALLY WORKS Now of course this person could be making it up, but if you browse around the web you'll find some success stories as well as some failures. This one was the best example IMO because this person did all the things an uninformed beginner would do...

Prime, I actually read the opposite. You're not supposed to use those detoxifiers, as it also kills the bacteria from TSS.

Agreed. If only it was easy to get though, I guess I can try a local shop. When you used TSS, how high were your ammonia levels that you wanted to change the water?

I've read quite a few success stories actually. It all depends on how it's done.

Here's what I came across, straight from a rep at Tetra. Here's the rest of the conversation someone had with the rep: http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/aquarium-nitrogen-cycle/58116-q-tetra-tetra-safestart.html So far my results are consistent with what the rep said. If the ammonia level...

I understand it's supposed to be added with the fish but the directions say to add the fish after pouring the bottle in I was just concerned with pouring it in while the fish are swimming around. I used a bottle before putting the fish in and I have 1 ppm of ammonia with no readings of nitrite...

Is it safe to add a bottle of the stuff with fish in the tank? Or should I empty the tank before adding?
