Thee uh, Rosy Barb... yeah, tried to eat my African Dwarf Frogs. He’ll have to play victim for a while. I have nowhere to put him; he doesn't play well with others. Should I just take them both out back??? :shifty:

I moved the thankful Cory into my 10 gal tank with friendly Guppies. Rearranged the 18 gal tank where the Parrot is, with his friend the Rosy Barb. The two of them get along fine. However, the Parrot is very confused. He was still looking for the Cory. :unsure: Diving at nothing as if...

No, no no... I didn't want to give the impression by asking the question, "Any suggestions for a bottom feeder for this fish?? He's a good size Parrot, and I'd like something to clean up after him", that I over feed my agro Parrot (or any of my fishy friends, for that matter). I've kept bottom...

I'll move the Cory. Any suggestions for a bottom feeder for this fish?? He's a good size Parrot, and I'd like something to clean up after him. :hyper: Thanks! :) "smb" Thanks for the advice- I cannot get rid of the Parrot he was a gift. He's been separated. He started in my 100 gal...

Blue Rams are my favorite fish. Currently I only have one grown male left (out of two females and two males) my Amazon Leaf Fish ate the three smaller Rams a while back. I've been waiting for my IFS to get more Blue Rams in. My male Ram follow my Kribensis (M & F) around, never too close to...

I had my Purple Jelly Bean Parrot Cichlid in a 100 gal community tank with Amazon Leaf Fish, and other fish. The Leaf Fish's diet is live fish. I let a few loose in the tank every day for feeding, and the Leaf Fish hunts them. The Parrot had been discovering the live tasty treats, and began...

Does any one else have any experience with Amazon Leaf Fish Monocirrhus polyacanthus? I am not familiar with what causes the symptoms of swollen gills and loss of apatite in this species. This is the second one that has experienced this within the last three months. My water quality is kept...

I agree with "Lizard". Also, consider the waste the fish produce in relation to the small volume of water in a one gal tank. ;) One inch of fish per gallon, or one fish per gallon. Good luck. I have a 10gal with 4 Guppies, and their breading is good. I have a 20gal with 3 Guppies, and 5...

Here is ONE web site that I found with info on Dropsy - there are many many more: Click here to view web site Hope this helps a little - Good luck. ;)

I went back to the local fish store where I got the two mystery fish and asked, "What is this?" It's a Common Molly. :rolleyes: Thank you for all your input!!! I had a few responses suggesting it was a cross between this and that. Is it possible to have a crossbreed? Is there really a...

The link "lizard" placed in her response sells the small divider for $5.99 (plus shipping). I bought the medium for $15.00 to keep a little "Mom&Pop" fish store thriving locally. To answer the question, "does it fit any size tank?" The medium fit my standard 20 gal. tank - it was taller and I...

Here's a wide window for ponder... ;) Platies gestation is about 25 to 40 days, depending on tank conditions & stress.

Hey Everyone: I bought a product made by PENN-PLAX, it's called Tank Divider from a little fish store close by for $15.00. Installs easy. Looks cooler too (than a net hangin'). B) It's a plastic wall you slid into provided sliders/suction strip with little holes smaller than the tiniest...

FYI: I replaced the link to the photo if anyone wants to take a look. Thanks. :rolleyes:

Sea_Monster, I didn't get the same impression about your question as CFC did :sick: I hadn't read you thought Molly's were egg layers, nor you hadn't read the post when you mentioned gravid spots or females looking square. Maybe your female just ate and got fat, then did her b'dness. Or, she...

:D Thank you for the help!

My guess is 36.

Hello, :D I've have two females of this fish shown: Click Here to view photo NOTE: Both are 2 1/3rd inches long. Longer than my Fancy Guppies and Feeder Guppies. Please help me identify! I have Fancy Guppy males and Platy males that will not mate with either one. I've had them for...

WOW! -_- I read about the female aborting the birth, but I didn't think it was literal - I suspected the female just put the birth off. I'll look into heavily planting my tank. Thanks! ;)

Recently I have has success with two female Guppies giving birth. Last night, while the third female was in the birthing net, I checked on her progress and all her Fry were born dead and underdeveloped! Is there something wrong with her or her developing Fry? What happened? :-(

Just last night my Fancy Guppy had Fry, and instantly devoured three after their birth. It is possible that your guppy gave birth in the three days that she was in the net, and while you weren't looking… ate them. :sly: Another possibility into miscarriage: I have experienced other live...

Cassandra, One of my Female Guppy just gave birth last night. Three in a row, the last time I watched before going to bed... and in a nanosecond she turned around and devoured her fry as if the pregnancy meant insta' food. :sad: I feel ya! Jennifer

Thanks for the advice. :D However, I am worried about adding more fish if there is a possibility other fish are eating babies I am not seeing. -_- One of my females looks pregars, but the second female is aggressive and keeps herself away from the male.

Hello All. Newbee here. Three months with 2 Fancy Guppy females and 2 Fancy males in a 20 gal - with 3 fem/1male Platies and five 3 mo. old baby Platies, more babies in net breader. Today I took one of the Fancy males out. I do daily water changes (20-30 percent) and temp is between 78-80...
