This is the picture my friend took when she first got her. She called her Miss America. She was actually going to breed bettas too but her male isnt interested. Mom's male betta is a dark blue, but I might just get my own male well have to see depending on what I'm really getting myself into...

My friend has this beautiful female betta with a white body(and a couple very small bule dots here and there) with with a blue edge around the body on the fins and then the rest of the fins are red, she also has a gold shimmer on her body. I couldnt get over how she looked and wanted her so much...

I have a yellow guppy with an orange tail. It is impossible to see how dark her gavid patch is and as for the birthing tube.. I've watched her for housrs and I see it from angle but it blends in with her body so it's hard to see. I put her in her own special tank with floating plants only (no...

Thanks for helping. Nothing on there described her fin. But then a day later she turned brown around the mouth and grey around the fin. I checked again and she caught a case of rot. She died that same night :( All the other fish seem to be doing pretty good though so maybe it was just a case of...

My oplain gourami has sudenly started rocking back and forth.. I may just be over reacting but considering that I have lost 3 fish this week due to other issues I rather not take my chances.. I had a gold male gourami that became to aggressive and he nipped my oplain gouramis top fin so it...

It's not I have it in my room against the wall. The only thing its next to is my 60 gallon tank and a window that is shaded by trees. So barely any sun comes through. But it gets really hot here so I'm starting to think thats what happened, so I snuck out in the middle of the night and turned...

Ive been trying to keep the temp around 73-74 like i had it last night. But I checked on it two hours ago and it was back to 80 again. My heater was unplugged so I know that wasnt it. Is there a way to keep a tank cool?

I find it funny how we start talking about guppies and onto what to feed dinos.. Also I cant stop feeding them, I learned that lesson long ago when I first got them. If they are hungy they will snack on my other fish's fish food and snack on their fins and it only got worse. I lost 3 gouramis...

I tried that about 2 weeks ago but they refused to even try them. Ive tried giving it to them whole, cut up, with the light on and off. But all they did was swim away.

Ok I have the temp down to 73-74 now. I hope that will help them. I feed my guppies frozen blood worms 2 days out of the week, and crunched up sinking pelets (for the fry) and some flake food every day. I would be feeding them live brine shrimp but I dont have the supplies for that yet. Hoping...

Are you sure? Ive read a lot of forums and I mean a LOT that have said around 76-78 when you want to breed them because the warm temperature makes the males more active. Which so far seems true. My male is very active. It's my females staying at the top.. they only swim down when they try to...

I have 7 plants in the tank. I also added a bubble wand into the tank so I knew they were getting enough oxygen. The tank came as a kit and gave small packets for stress that I used. The male seems better, swimming around like normal again going after the female. But the female and 2 fry are...

The ph for my tank was 7.0 it was either nitrites, or nitrates, that was a little high. It was a while ago so I dont exactly remember. Ammonia I do not remember. What is GH and KH? I tried again with a different tank after cycling for a month. I had bought 3 females and 1 male. One of the...

I was going to breed guppies to use as feeder fish for my dinosaur bichirs, and so far had a bad start. Bought 8 from a bad local pet store.. all were sick and died a day later. Pet store claimed my tank as fault but my water tests were perfect! So I got a new tank and had it cycle for a month...

Wow they are then lol. Well you could always get them a bigger tank or maybe add more to the filtration.. Thats what i would do.

Wow! So they do grow pretty quick. In less than a year he would be able to eat all my fish! 0_0

Well you could just be over feeding as well depending on the size of your tank. If you have a small tank then yeah getting another one would be a bad idea. But if you have a large tank then maybe your over feeding a bit? I have a 60 gallon that I use to have a lot of fish in so I would feed a...

The minos were only feeder fish (rosy red minos)from the store. The guppies were sick fish, I went back to the petstore and others had the same complaints. But the tank was specifically set up for the guppies and I tested the water before I got them so I knew that wasnt the problem.

A BGK is what I origionally wanted but couldnt get because of his size, have to get a bigger tank. But Right now I have a african brown knife fish and I have the temp up to 80 , he must have had it because now one of my fish has a couple on his back fin. I cant use anything with chimcals. Just...

I'm not an expert on honey gourami's but I read on a different forum that they poo a lot so I believe that is normal. For the color, my fish has different colors all the time depending on what they eat. So I would say your fish is perfectly healthy from what you have explained :)

I've wanted a knifefish for a long time and finally got one last weekend. Love him! He is very shy though, he found a hole I never knew of inside a rock and stays there until feeding time. After hes done eating he goes back into his small hole. Although right now its a pain because he makes it...

I just got 8 guppies (2 males 6 females)not even 2 days ago and already I have lost 3. I had the tank running for at least 6 months, Had a gourami in it for 3 and then I had minos for a couple weeks until yesterday. 2 of the females died with injuries so I figured they were fighting. I had extra...

I'm not an expert on mollys but I've compared photos that I have found of other pregnant mollys and I would say yours is too. The tank you picked them out, did they have males in there also? If they didn't then I would be a little worried that it may be something else. But as long as shes...

I've had that happen to a few fish of mine. I doubt it has to do with difficulties from being pregnant. Especally since you mentioned that you lost one male as well. Try thinking very hard about anything that might be different now. Have you tried something new for water treatments? New foods...

I'm not really worried about the goldfish. Ive had enough expirence with them to know how to handel them. I'm only concerned about the size of my tank being to small for the bichirs. But if they grow slowly then I shouldnt have a problem right? I've also looked at all the cichlids that are at...

Thanks ill give them a try. :)

I wasnt planning on keeping the gold fish they were only used to get the tank started. I was planning on giving them to a friend but she changed her mind at last minute and now I cant give them away because the bichirs nibbled on their fins. So I'm kinda stuck with them. But the bichirs never...

I have two dinosaur bichirs (I have seen others call them senegalus so I'm assuming their the same) and they refused to eat any type of pellet that was to big to fit in my goldfish mouths. ( my bichirs are around 4 maybe 4 1/2 inches and have much bigger mouths than the goldfish they are only 2...

I have a 60 gallon tank 4 foot long and 2 feet deep (maybe 2 and a half) with two dinosaur bichirs, a gourami, and 5 goldfish. I know the bichirs get to be around 18 inches(so the store says) and I've ready that they grow slowly although not sure if thats true. But I was wondering if it would be...
