From that one picture it looks like she has a while yet to go..and I say that because I've had the answer pounded into my head five billion times already by other members before it finally stuck. XD I finally had to pretend to draw an imaginary vertical line from the anal fin-straight up the...

Regardless of whatever he thinks he is, he's a beauty. :wub:

My last batch of green guppies yielded one live set of conjoined twins and one fry with a parasitic twin. I remembered seeing a thread on here a few months ago where a member had conjoined twins but couldn’t get pictures of them. This was my first set and I haven’t had any since. The fully...

Those two females are notorious for giving me small drops. The smallest to date was six and the largest was twenty. Sometimes I think they're doing this just to watch me pace back and forth like a new parent!

Either get some fry appropriate food, or you can do what I do and I just grind my high quality flakes between my fingers and sprinkle it for them. Small amounts, several times a day will do. I tend to wait until they are swimming well (so I usually wait a day) before I feed them. Others may have...

They both have their lovely points. :blush: I can't say I'm any less in love with my sorority then I am with my seven males.

I have a naughty bad girl in my sorority as well. A month ago my large blue female attacked my favorite green female (my breeding gal) and it was really bad. I don't know what went on, as I wasn't there to see it. But when I came into the room I noticed my green female was missing during feeding...

I was wondering if any of you guys knew the pros and cons of melafix. I bought a bottle the other month to help fix torn fins since I had seen the product mentioned so many times here. After I got it home, I happend to read the warnings and I noticed one dealt with human reproduction and-at...

Depends on your fish, most of all, I'd say. If you have a fish that's passive for a Betta, feel free to experiment. A general rule is to avoid flashy fish with large fins-especially if you like those fins! I know I keep female guppies with my female bettas and one male betta in a ten gallon tank...

With my males I pay special attention to how they swim naturally just for record sake in case they come down with something later on. Some swim differently then others, it's a given. The biggest way to tell is to check what they look like at rest, at a slow swim, and when they're actually...

I'm looking into doing a review about Betta husbandry and appropriate tank sizes. I was hoping to get input from the members of this forum first to find out which breeders you consider reputable. When I have a list of names and contacts, I'm planning to personally get a hold of them either...

God, what a fool that person is. I have four female and one Betta male in a 10 gallon with two Guppy females and the amount of non-aggressive socialization I see is astounding. There is NO way you can see a Bettas full potential in a urine sample cup. Edit: Have you guys noticed how now the...

I don't know. It depends on the dog. We had a family pit named Tina and she has the WORST PMS case we had ever seen in a dog. Sweet girl, beautiful dog, smart ... but she would just snap and then she was all teeth and vicious and it took both of my uncles (6'1 and taller and over 200lbs) to hold...

Looks like a freshwater Moray eel.

I waited for a few years to get my hands on what I thought were two green guppy females. They were honestly the only thing in the area I could find in realtion to green AND guppy due to my remote location up in the mountains. I searched and looked, snagged the two females and have now been...

It's going to be gorgeous! T.T I wish I knew enough about plants or could find a Dummies Guide to setting up and planting a tank.

She could be reabsorbing her fry like my one female guppy does. When she gets huge and I put her in the box, she'll freak out and reabsorb the fry. Try waiting until she looks like she's going to pop and then moving her into a smaller tank to birth. Then you not only have all your fry and a...

Has to be between rose and BIG crowntails... but I'd be more likely to buy a nice halfmoon over either of those! XD If you own one of EVERYTHING then you never really have to choose!

I have four female Betta (the fifth-and oldest-just passed away) in a tank with one unusually placid male Betta and two female guppy + assorted aged fry. You will find with Bettas that they really are their own human-sized personality in a small fish package. I have seven males all together. Two...

Oh he does fine when he decides to actually swim. I've just never seen a betta rest on it's side and NOT eventually die. All of my other bettas corner themselves and rest with their head near the surface-this guy just takes hardcore naps on his side. I already do a weekly pea/fasting day with...

I recently got lucky and obtained a gorgeous double tailed platinum and red male-a rare find in my area. As I have never personally gotten my hands on a DT, I don't know what their swimming habits-if any-are. With this one.. well, let's say I think he died every time I go to look at him. He sits...

Well drat. I know the other green female I have just dropped two weeks ago (she gave me two conjoined twins-one didn't survive and the other was a partial and has a little paracitic twin on it's abdomine). This female normally drops a batch about a week to three after the first one, but if she...

This is the fourth time my female guppy has fooled me into thinking she’s close to birth in the last month! She’s about a quarter inch wide when viewed from the front and was so squared off she could have brought a cut diamond to shame. Her gravid spot made her look like she swallowed a rock...

Kizno, I don't think he's an endler. He's about three months old. He was a late May or early June batch. I just love him so much, he has such defined markings on both sides and I am growing fonder and fonder of the red/white/black divided dot on him. ^^ I decided that I would do a no-no that I...

I bought this fella's mother for fifteen cents because I felt sorry for her. She was the last big momma on site, as pregnant as a horse and bound to be nothing more than food. I had room, I had loose change .. I had a new guppy! She's brown, ugly and quite large for a wild-type. I haven't ever...

Where did you get your guppies from? If you bought them from a LFS, God only knows how old they are or what's wrong with them. I always have to bite my hand when I go in for dog food and remind myself that the fish in Petco (and most other chain pet stores) are pretty much all culled rejects...

My green female guppy squatted out a small handful of fry for me about.. oh, say, two-three weeks ago? Off the top of my head, I think there are six of them, or nine. They're all still alive. I let the fry live in my largest breeding box until they finally got their bearings and then I moved...

I am feeding the four females and three males their regular betta pellets, plus freeze dried baby brine shrimp and blood worms. The females are in a 10 gallon community tank (4 betta females, 3 female guppies) and the males are in their own gallon domains. I hadn't planned on introducing them...

Oh those darn adopted children... :shifty: Whatever's going on, the male's going to a new home sometime this weekend. Been in there for almost a year with those ladies and no damage yet, suppose four more days won't hurt.

Hey guys, I figured I would post this and see what you guys came up with and had to say. As far as successfully breeding your Bettas, what tips and tricks do you all have up your sleeves. What's the process you all take to get the pair ready and, for the most part, willing? Do you help by doing...

I have one male betta in my tank and four females mixed in with four female guppies and one male. None of them fight what so ever. Then again, my guppy male thinks he's a shrimp and my male betta is scared of just about anything. XD There is a compatibility chart going around in some stores-I've...

On the contrary, I know all fish are different, but all of the fish in my community tank otherwise aren't supposed to 'get along' well together according to that compatibility chart that's floating around. I have four female bettas in my community tank with four female guppies, three mollies and...

Get a small tank with a clear divide and put this fish in alongside another fish you know is male. You can either get one of two reactions. I've never found a female that cared enough to posture back, but I have a male that would run and hide at the first sight of a female. XD Or you can just...

Ah okay. Yeah, I've been keeping the community take above par recently due to a large explosion of marble and dalmatian molly fry I got. Dx Oye vei! But he seems to be doing much better than the first week. At first I put him in his own little tank to let him rest up and whatnot. His fins used...

Betsy, my rag-tag delta female. Not sure if she's deciding to be green or what. I mushed a few photos of her together in different lighting to show the changes. She has very lovely facial markings and in the right light she has what looks to be stripes. ^^ She's one of my favorites. This is...

I think the male is petrified of her. XD He made her a nest a loonng time ago and everything went smoothly until she changed her mind halfway through the act and nearly killed him. He's not a very aggressive fish-never was-but now after recovery he's the type to swim away and hide in the plants...

Ahhh okay then. Would make sense considering how round she's been getting. She's not much of an eater like the male, I didn't figure she was constipated. Any recommendations on how to get the male to pay attention to her? He seems a little distracted and not all that interested in making nests...

Thank goodness for taking pictures and actually noticing something funky was up. Betsy's business end has a new white thing sticking out of it. I've never seen it there before, but then again I never made it a perpetual habit to stare at and observe her rear. Any ideas as to what this could be?

Well drat.. No males in my tank old enough to show colors yet! Any chance of making a female competition for those of us that have lovely little girls? XD

I'm no expert and I don't have any experience with Kribs, but here's a good link for you to look at. http://www.fishinthe.net/ArticlesandWallpa...e_kribensis.htm I usually find that-with dealing with livebearers anyway-whatever you feed the adults will appease the fry so long as it's small...
