Hi everyone! I have a 45 gallon tank (36 inches long, 24-ish inches tall, and 12 inches deep) and I am almost ready to add fish. Could I put two angelfish in, or just one? Are angels compatible with dwarf gourami, if they were added into the tank at the same time? I plan on having a moderately...

I know that they are all the same species... The thing is, my male (in both cases) showed a bit of interest in the females the first or second day (usually showing aggression towards one of the females). Then they completely ignore them. The females I'm pretty sure never dropped (in my tank, at...

Okay, thanks! I will be on the look-out for more Peppered Corydoras  :)

Hi! I have two little Peppered Cory Catfish in a 45 gallon tank (along with swordtails, mollies, and platies.) I know that Corydoras need to be in groups of at least 5 (right?) I was going to get them some friends, but I wanted to maybe get some different kinds, like Pandas or Albinos or...

Hi! A few days ago, I found my male platy (don't know what kind he was) stuck to the filter. (His fin got nipped by a female molly and he got really timid, seemingly scared to go and get food from the surface, so I assume he died of starvation) :( Anywho, he never paid much attention to the two...

Yeah, I went to the pet store yesterday, they were completely out of Cherry Shrimp , but the had one really tiny Red Crystal for like 13 U.S. dollars. No thanks. I'm waiting for more Cherry reds, which come in Tuesday Thank you for all your help and advice!

I have found out that a fish store a ways from my house just got some Cherry Red Shrimp about two weeks ago. I'm going to see if they have any left tonight. If they don't, they also have red crystal shrimp. Has anyone had any experience with those? If the fish store doesn't have any CRS, should...

 I will try and find some cherry reds, but the only shrimps around are ghost shrimp and bamboo shrimp :/ Thank you so much for your help ! :)

Hi! I have a 45 gallon tank. There are 3 platies, 3 swordtails, 3 mollies, and 2 Little cory catfish. I was thinking about getting either a  couple Mystery Snails or some shrimp of some sort to clean up any uneaten food/waste off of the bottom. I don't have an algae problem (yet) . I have 7 live...

Update: The yellow female swordtail still doesn't show any signs of illness - besides that white dot. She's zipping around the tank with the other two swordies - which makes me wonder if the dot on her fin could just be where her fin got nipped by the male platy. (Just an idea) Speaking of the...

I've had problems with ich and fungal infections before in previous tanks...but they cleared right up after medication. I'm hesitant about medicating the tank yet because there are 7 live plants (annubias and watersprite), and I don't really know what's going on with that swordtail. :3 It's been...

So about two weeks ago I bought three platys. A male and two females, of course. A week later, I bought three swordtails (a male and two females). I have a 45 gallon tank. My male platy is being aggressive towards my male swordtail. I know that's normal, because they're both males, and the...

They look pregnant to me! The little dark spot by their anal fin (the fin closest to their tail) is called a gravid spot. If the spot is dark like that, then the guppies are pregnant. Get ready for lots and lots of fry :)

A day or so before she give birth, her belly will be squared off (it will be kind of square-shaped). When she looks like she is about to explode, put her in the birthing tank. Oh, and livebearers can store sperm for about 6 months or more, so she could give birth a few more times without the...

Thanks you guys! It's only been 2 days and he's slowly showing more interest in the calico... the sunset burst he nips at one time, sending her swimming away - and he doesn't follow. The Calico female doesn't appear to be pregnant at all (she's light colored, and it's easy to see her insides)...

Yeah, that's what I figured... Thanks :) I was just curious because  had this happen once before, and the fish never bred. :/

I don't have too much experience with mollies, but she kind of looks like a platy to me... might want to get some more experienced opinions though :) I can't tell if she's pregnant, because of the glare... (btw its a fairly good pic :) )

I got a gorgeous  (handsome?) male platy today, along with a calico female and a sunset burst female. This may be too early to mention, but he doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the females. He seems like he kind of half-courts the calico, but he nips aggressively at the sunset burst...

Thanks :)

Is there any benefits to sloping the gravel in a tank? (low in front/middle, higher in back/sides) I know it kind of adds depth to the tank. I've heard that it makes the tank easier to clean because a lot of the solid waste falls to the front where you can see it... Is that true? I know it...

Yup^^ Sometimes when dealing with aggression/territorial issues, I take the fish out for a bit, move the tank decor around, and then put them back in (or something like that). Then it's like a completely new tank (to the fish), and then it's kind of like a fresh start... It's worked for me in...

Thanks for your input, guys I'm beginning to have second thoughts about the whole Guppy x Molly thing... perhaps a nice community tank would be better XD

Oh, I don't plan on giving them away. I have an extra tank in case things get out of hand :)

I was just browsing the forums, and I myself was considering getting sand... Is sand easier to care for than gravel?

Looks like some young "Gold Dust" mollies to me..I think. They sure are cute though. :)

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it! :D

I have a 45 gallon tank, and I was thinking about trying to cross mollies and guppies. I have heard it is possible, and I would  like to try it myself. Does anyone have any advice on, like, how to encourage them to spawn? Anything related would help. Thanks!
