its mostly likely some type of larvae could be fly, mosquito, or any other bug larvae give that tank a good cleaning with 1:10 ratio of bleach to water and start the cycle all over again discarding the filter media (if u had any in there) whatever you do DONT use soap to clean the tank

i dont think they are fry especially if the female wasnt in the tank probably some bugs, or larvae i wouldnt put any fish in there for now untill you know exactly what it is

TFT-monitor click that^^ for an explanation of a tft monitor i wouldnt worry too much about the brand because nowadays just about all electronics products are made in the same company and they just slap a logo on it and charge more if you like it go for it, but i would look online for...

move your fish out to a small plastic CLEAN and never used container with clean conditioned water this way you wont lose as many fish while your tank cycles again i had the same problem before and moving the fish out really helped both the fish and cycling also put an airstone in the...

couldnt you just move about 50% of the water from the old tank to the new one? and then do what Tolak said about the filter media? that way your ph wont be as high and it will cycle much quicker

keep changing it until it goes away maybe put new filter media in your filter put a cap full of water clearifier every few hours until it goes away take the molly out for the day and put it in a seperate tank or large clean plastic container full of pre-conditioned water that is the same...

its not dangerous as long as you dont plug in the TV the filters, heaters, air pump, and tank lights wont take much power but the TV, and room light will if you plug the TV in you will be trying to force more current through 1 outlet than it can handle and therefore may cause damage to...

if its anything like the first fantastic 4 movie its gona ROCK!! cant wait till it comes out

let it sit there for a day or two and they will eventually eat it they cant eat it yet because its not soft enough for them, wait till the water soaks into it and they will start eating it you can also just boil the vegies before you put them into the tank and they will start eating it...

just get another power strip and plug it into your existing one and then plug in your other stuff into that

does the water look pearlized any? i had a similar problem but after a 75% water change, a capfull of water clearer, and new filter media the white stuff went away i still havent figured out exactly what it was but it went away within 48hours luckily i didnt have any fish in there at...

the filter isnt broken as its still pumping water and no part of the filter is in the water except the intake pipe checked up on him this morning and he seemed to be fine because he was swiming around the tank

well since this is in the art section i have to add get a big flame thrower and kick that frosts butt all the way back to where it came from haha i keep a bottle of some de-icer and water mixed together (30%de-icer, and 70% water) and spray it over the windows and the ice goes away...

one thing that really messes people up with photography is taking too long to setup the shot if you know what subject you are shooting aim at it, focus, and shoot dont wait too long to shoot i usually find the subject and hold the focus down so when the subject moves to a good position i...

just put a huge watermark over the pictures its extremely hard to edit out big watermarks even with photoshop

would it be possible to add a small extention to the desk with an extra support leg or two?

wow your platys are so active!! mine just swim around the tank when im not near it (i guess they are just hoping i have a camera and make the famous on the internet or something) lol when that kid screamed it scared the mess outa the male lol

as you may have remembered from a previous post that my male platy jumped out of a bowl one day and was laying on the floor for a couple of minutes and when i put him back into the water he seemed fine well just today ive noticed that he sometimes has a twitch when hes near the filter intake...

i think its best to just go to a local goodwill or yardsale and get a cheap end/coffee table and put the tank on there i have my 10gallon on an endtable right beside the couch and it looks beautiful there

they just wana have a little sexytime lol nothning to worry about as the other 2 people before me have said

i say go invest in a new 50watt heater (i got mine for about $13 at petco) also pick up a digital thermometer if you dont already have one you can place those anywhere inside your tank position it to give you a pretty accurate reading i have my heater placed right beside the filter intake and...

thanks dwarfgourami i think i have figured out the cause of the ph crashes last night before i put the new water in i tested its ph which came out to be 7.4 then put in the water conditioner and tested again and the ph went down to about 6.9 im not at home right now but when i get home i...

they do that so you buy more fish and hope that your fish die so you go back and buy some more the best thing do to is do your research before you go buy fish i tell people to go make a visit to the store first and write down the names of the fish they like then go home and do some research...

it IS possible but extremely complicated and i dont suggest you try it ive tried it on my laptop and nearly killed the harddrive doing so im kinda with Danno Apple products are BIG ripoffs and the worst part is people still buy them because an evil man in a black longsleeved shirt and...

the female that sits on the bottom is definately not large (about the same size as the male) but you could be right i guess, there is a possibility of her being in the early stages of pregnancy (i really hope so :)) what exactly is a quarantine tank? im pretty new to the fish stuff although...

ok i'll just leave it alone for a week or two and check back on it another thing, my male platy jumped out of the bowl one day(i was cleaning the gravel, so i put the fish in a temporary bowl for about 30min) and was laying on the carpet for about a minute b4 i noticed it wasnt in the bowl...

lately after adding my platys and ottos ive noticed the ph of my tank has been realy low (around a 5.8-6.0) ive changed about 50% of the water one day and brought it up to about 6.8 but within 12 hours it shot back down to below a 6 any ideas of what could be causing this? ive tried the...

a 10gallon heater will work but it will most likely be to big for your tank look online, ive seen some pretty small heaters made for 5 gallon tanks usually under $10

for a temporary regulator put a small binder clip on the hose to reduce the amount of bubbles that will surely bring the noise down a lot try folding the hose a once and then put the binder clip on it if you cant reduce the bubbles with just the binder clip and no folds

to lower the noise level i went out and bought the smallest and cheapest air pump (about $7 and its made for a 5 gallon tank) and for the stone i use those white plastic ones that are made to produce very fine bubbles another thing to do is get a pack of those regulators that go inline with...

i love the sunset fire platys under the right light they look brilliant i'll put up some pics tomorow

im not buying any new fish for another 3-4 weeks so these ottos and plattys have time to get comfortable i successfully returned the 2 blue gourami (aka 3spot) they said they dont allow returns on live fish but since they have been out of blue gouramis for over a week now the manager said...
