o ok thanks for telling me before i made a mistake i'll just go for 3 for now and another platy to keep the other 2 company when i get a bigger tank i'll add a few more guppies and platies

i will probably add a few more tetras a week or two later once these get settled in if any knows for sure that the guppies and platies will mate then please let me know i'll definately pick up another platy (i used to have 3 but my male died because of a broken heater, and now i have 2 females...

will guppies and platies breed together? just wondering because petco has a pretty nice sale this month $5 for 5 fish (for guppies, mollies and tetras) and i was thinking of getting 2 guppies and 3 neon tetras right now i have 2 sunset fire platys and 2 otos in a 10G tank the neon tetras will...

definately go for long instead of tall, this way active fish can zoom around all they want and not stress the other fish as much i think that depends on how the fish like it since they are the ones who will live in it lol

its not absolutely necessary to boil the food, it just helps it sink faster and most of the time the fish will start eating it right away rather than waiting a day or to before even taking a bite because its not soft enough for them soaking them in warm water will also speed up the process of...

cutest looking fry ever!! i think you may have discovered a new breed of fish lol

yes thats perfectly fine just dont put the tank in your bed haha

the cheapest place ive found for tanks is walmart the one thing you should never buy from walmart though is FISH!, you are better off going to a petsmart or petco or any other pet store since you're in florida there should be lots of local fish stores that you can pick from its better to get a...

go for a net breeder instead as they allow more water circulation and the fry cant get out as for the lost fry its probably just hiding somewhere or could be eaten by a larger fish you could isolate the remaining fry by putting it into a smaller tank

it depends on what you are putting in the tank for peas: boil them and remove the outer skin then smash em up with your fingers and put 1 or 2 in the tank and then put more as the fish eat it up oranges:cut a round slice and put it in a food clip and attach it to the side of the tank, be...

add a bubbler although its not completely necessary as long as the water from your filter breaks the surface of the water if not then definately add a bubbler do a 20-30% water change every day until u get the nitrite down what do you mean by "normal temp range"? the platys need about...

idk about those fish but i do know my goldfish loved oranges, broccoli and peas

could be a lack of oxygen in your tank

o S*** one of my female platys just died i dont know what to do anymore hopefully the last one will still be alive tomorrow, and i'll put it in a new tank of fresh water just checked the tank a minute ago and the platy which i thought was dead is actually alive i saw her zipping around with...

yea, ive been doing everything that i could think of to restore his health but i guess it was just meant for him to die im gona try to find some info on that heater company and have them replace my broken heater or i'll just return it to the store and buy a better one gona give my 2 female...

yea go ahead and take him back im guessing hes scaring the little pirahnas

first off you dont need both heaters in there, the 75watt should be fine or the 100watt, but no need for both 1)algae eaters only eat algae and other plants, from what i know, there arent any animals that eat fish poop you have to do a gravel cleaning every week to get rid of the poop, you...

for my 10G it cost me about $75 for heater, light, filter, gravel and some decorations, and a testing kit(which is a must for any tank) so im guessing around $150 for it all because the bigger the tank the bigger stuff you need for it go to some fish supplies site and see what you need an...

i did a 30% water change yesterday and his tail was half white this morning and then about an hour ago he passed away :rip: the 2 female platys i have left seem healthy but are swiming near the top of the tank towards the back corner which is unusual because they are usually very active and...

wow that looks like its a pain in the you know what to do a gravel vac maybe you can get rid of the black gravel and some of the rocks then stack some of the rocks in a corner and fill the rest with sand and in the back have the plants that way the fish have plenty of room to hide and so...

if you are cycling you dont need to put anything into the water except ammonia putting flakes in the water will just pollute it like crazy

im making a new website and after about 2 hours of thinking of an address thats not already taken i came up with this leme know what you think by voting http://www.polldaddy.com/p.asp?p=41455

did you try putting the fish back in the tank? ive recovered a platy who jumped out and i thought i was dead i just put it back in the tank and it instantly started swimming just put some kind of fabric or maybe even a few cds over the hole and that will stop them from jumping out

the tank is 2 months old amonia=0 nitrites=0 i dont have a nitrate test yet, but i'll have it tested at the lfs today ive also tried the stress coat thing but doesnt seem to show any positive results after a week of doing it its not a big emergency because the fish still seems health besides...

i have a male platy which ive had for about a month now, he jumped out of the tank the 2nd day at his new home because of a blue gourami chasing him around, and on the 3rd day i noticed his tail was almost completely gone (the gourami didnt eat it because i returnd the gouramis that same day)...

the high ph should be fine but just make sure you dont let the amonia spike with fish in the tank, because ammonia is much more dangerous at higher PH levels

from my experience blue gouramis and platys dont mix well i had 2 blue gouramis and 3 platys and the gouramis always chased the new platys around, making my male platy jump out of the tank gouramis are very playful, and platys are generally calm im sure they can mix well if the tank is big...

anyone think the UV leds could work? lol trust me im not going to build one just wana know if its possible

i most likely wouldnt make one anyways im just wondering if its possible, while still giving similar results

iv done a bit of research on these things because up until now i knew nothing about them and it got me thinking, is there any possible way i can construct one of these by myself instead of buying one? also since a uv sterilizer is basically a pipe containing a UV bulb that lets water pass...

one thing u can do is increase the temperature during the day while you can monitor it and then turn the heater completely off at night i do this everyday to avoid such a problem, especially since i have a really cheap heater that i dont really trust even if its not faulty

i was just getting ready to link to that video lol both are equally amazing, and i would love to have that big tank

try huge water changes (25-50%)every day and it will clear up in 2-3 days maybe faster

change 25-50% of the water every day and i gurantee the water will clear up i had the same problem when i finished cycling the the tank but after changing about 50% of the water everyday it cleared up in 2-3days and you really need to get your own testing kit dont get the dip sticks but...

take the pleco back and get a couple of otos ive got 2 in my 10G tank and they really keep that tank clean next time dont go buy fish from walmart, most of them are usually sick if you must, go to petco or petsmart

idk about some of your fish buy my platys actually love the forceful current of fresh water being poured in they will come up to the spout of the bucket while i pour it in and will stay in the current until im done they will move to whereever the water is being poured in you can get a...

please dont put all those fish back into the small 10gallon tank no wonder why the guy couldnt keep up with it the 2 plecos alone where pushing the tanks limits far beyond its capacity, and then he had 5 other medium sized fish the new tank should be fine as its pretty much cycled now

its probably not gona be safe because a lot of that stuff contains harmful chemicals which could kill your fish

the phUP stuff never works, at least not for me my tap water is 7.6 but once i put it in the tank it drops to about 5.8 in a couple of hours ive noticed that once i put the conditioner in the water thats what really seems to slam the ph almost instantly, can maybe be for your case too...

use the MACRO feature on your camera to get a clearer picture close up its the icon that looks like a flower, its for taking very closeup pictures and will give you good clearity it could be tetra as Tokis said, but most likely not oto fry add some liquifry and see what they turn out...
