I do frequent water changes but I don't flare him, I heard that caused too much stress. How do I sun bathe him? Yes he is a crowntail. Should I start flaring him and sun bathing him? Thanks cracker. Amanda Also what can I do to get him tail back to the normal beautiful way it was? If I start...

This morning when I went in to feed my betta I noticed that his tail looked like it is curling under. It looks to me like black balls (he is a black fish) at the ends of his fins. Does anyone know what this is and what I need to do about it. It's really scaring me I don't want to lose my fish...

I dont have any meds to treat ich yet. I can get some but it won't be until tomarrow :(. I am raising the temp I heard that is what will get them into free swimming. I dont have anything that I can use. Thanksfor your help. Amanda

Hello, My dad has four oscar fish who are all babies. Today he and I noticed that they have little white dots all over their body. I think it's something called ich (well in the betta world thats what its called.) When I treat my bettas for ich I use something called bettazing it works well for...

Thanks so much. Amanda

Hello, I just asked the guy that I bought them from and he said that they are juveniles and I don't know how old they are they all have to be a different age though because I have some really small ones and then I have some medium sized ones (sorry for the mixup). I also asked him if any of them...

Hello, I just recently bought 50 guppy fry from a breeder in Ohio. The fry are indeed small and I had to separate my large guppy from my new baby guppies. How fast do guppies grow? Also it looks like some of the guppies are pregnant, they have the gravid spot and they are getting very fat. Is...

Well if people actually read profiles I said im a new breeder. I have bred before but I was just trying to find different things to feed them because everyone does it differently. About the bubblenest question I just wasnt sure if blowing a bubble nest meant they were happy or just bored. Thanks...

Thanks so much....... Amanda

I have crowntails and veiltails I breed both types. I'm getting into breeding guppies now. If the fish in your personal pic is yours then wow you have nice fish. I have a question what do you feed your fry from day 1 up until the day they are able to be fed what I feed the adults. Thanks. Amanda

Thank you guys so much...all of my males are blowning bubblenest and I was just wondering if this was a sign of them being happy and healthy...well thats good to know :D Thanks so much p.s. Froggy do you breed?

I have a question, when males blow a bubblenest in their bowls does that usually mean they are happy and healthy? I may breed them but this is something I don't know. Please help.... Amanda :)

Okay thank you so much Katchan, I will try those things. Wilder sorry to hear about your mom. I just recieved 15 new crowntail females yesterday from a breeder that I buy from often (he sent too many lol) and one looks just like my poor Millie. Amanda

I raise bettas and I have recently been having some problems with mouth fungus (columanaris or how ever you spell it) well sadly all four of the fish died within 5 days of me knowing they had mouth fungus. I treated them with Maroxy, Maracyn, and Maracyn 2. Three of them died the first couple...

Okay thank you so much. Amanda

No his scales are not sticking out of his skin. He has has a really bloated belly and his eyes are sticking out more than they should be. Thanks so much. Amanda

Hello, my friend has a fish with popeye and maybe dropsy. It is a crowntail betta male. His eyes are swollen out of his head and his belly is really really big. What does she need to do. She dosn't have internet access so i'm asking for her. The only meds she has are, Melafix. Bettafix remedy...

Okay thanks for your help :yahoo: (lol cute smilie) Amanda

Hello I have been a member for a couple of days, but I was wondering how you get the little yellow fish icons below personal pics, you know the ones that say newbie and stuff like that. Do you have to earn them or is it by how long you are a member? Thanks Amanda

Eggs don't look like white gooey blobs, they look like little white speks. Was there a reason she was in with the male? Where you trying to attemp a spawn between them? Amanda

Okay thank you. Amanda

Thanks could it kill the fish though?

Okay, will do thanks again. I have a friend who has a betta with popeye, can that kill the fish? She says she has been adding melafix to the tank to try and treat it but it dosn't seem to be going down. What should she do? Thanks again Amanda

Okay thank you, I will get the readings for you asap. Do you want me to do a gravel vac and 15% water change now or after the five days are up? Thanks Amanda

The pH hasn't changed at all since I told you yesterday. Do you want me to do a gravel vac and 15% water change right now? or are you telling me that for after I have given her the full five days of meds? Also I don't know how to test for ammonia,nitrite,nitrate. How do you do it? I only have a...

Okay thanks wilder. My tap pH is 7.6 at the moment but you said to leave that alone. Hoe long should I give Maracyn and Maracyn 2 to her? When should it be compleatly cleared? Thanks Amanda Would it be possible to put her in a two gallon tank? I read that the smaller the tank the better. But...

Congrats on the new babies. I'm learning about guppy breeding but I just wanted to say congratulations and good luck :D Amanda

Thank you so much. Well I hope they do come 2-3 females per male. What will happen if they don't? Thanks for letting me know to read the faq's I didn't even pay attention to those lol. But I have a small box filter for the tank that I am letting filter now. I really wouldn't mind hearing your...

:) Hello, I just bought 50 fancy juvinile guppies from a very good breeder on aquabid and they will be here sometime next week. I'm kinda new with the whole guppy owning thing and was wondering if someone on here would give me some tips on how to keep them alive, healthy, and happy. I am wanting...

Hello. Wilder if your on here, I have some more questions :blush: (sorry there are so many) but after I am done treating my betta (she looks so much better but the package said to treat for five days even if symptoms are gone) but anyways after the five days should I do a tank cleaning? Should I...

Okay thank you so much Wilder you are a life saver. I'm gonna go add the salt right now. Thanks so muhc. Amanda

Will that hurt her if I add it now? Amanda.

It's just her, she is the only one in the tank because I have mostly bettas and I didn't want it to spread it to the other fish. What pH is too high for the fish? and what do I do to bring it back down if it gets too high? Now about the salt can I use table salt or cooking salt? How much do I...

Thanks for the help wilder. It's not all along her back anymore I can barely see any of it. It was coming out of her gills and now its gone. Where did it go? Did it go back into her body/gills or did it drop off somewhere? She is starting to look better but I still have to treat it for five days...

:shout: AHHH... i'm going to scream. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for mouth fungus to clear up? Is it possible that it spreads to all of the body before going away? I have two female bettas who currently have mouth fungus and I would really like to know what to expect from the...

My female crowntail started off with mouth fungus and I talked to someone about it and she said to treat it with Maracyn 1 & 2. I got the meds and gave Maracyn 1 to them last night and Maracyn 2 to them this morning, I also added Maroxy. Now the fungus looks like it moved. My female now has...

I love them and I have 17 or them. I like them because they are so beautiful. Amanda

WOW! you have some gorgeous fish!!!!. I'm working on breeding my crwontails and veiltails. Goodluck with the spawn, they sure will make some pretty babies. Amanda

Hello. Yesterday somebody by the name of wilder on here told me that my fish had mouth fungus and to go to the pet store and buy somthing called Maracyn 1 & 2, well I bought it and it dosn't really give me a clear under standing of when I add the other one. I added the first tablet last night...
