Aquarium Co-op has a great selection from what I've seen.

What if they're only attached by the egg sac? when it gets absorbed, will they come apart? (edited to fix grammer)

Ok, thank you Colin. What do you think about the conjoined twins? what's their chance at survival?

Also, would they be ok in a half gallon tank until they are big enough that they won't get eaten? I'll get them a heater and do a water change with a turkey baster every day so the ammonia doesn't build up. I just think the fry trap is severely crowded.

So my brand new female platies (bought Wednesday) gave birth over the course of Thursday night into this morning (Saturday). My white calico redtail (Tula) gave birth prematurely, so most of her babies died, but I was able to find and save 7, all of which are still alive as of this post. They...

More babies! Jazz had her babies today too! I managed to rescue 10 because I was awake and around when she started dropping. They have colors like their mama! (special thanks to my mom and dad who sat with me and helped keep the adults away from the babies I was trying to catch for over two...

Olive, oh my word your bunnies! Especially the itty bitty baby! 😍🥰🥰😍😍

Never mind! I got my answer :D I managed to rescue 10 of Jazz's babies, although one or two might have died and one is disformed, but he's still alive so I have hope <3 these ones aren't premature, thank goodness, and they have the colors of their mama!

Here's the video

Ok. My bumblebee platy might also be getting ready to drop. Can someone confirm this? I have a video uploading that I will post with better angles, but from what I can tell, her gravid spot is very dark, I see the white with the black ring near her anal fin, she's squared off and hiding/being...

I gave them a little bit of crushed flake food, but I think it was too big. I can offer more later that’s smaller

What should I do? Is there any chance some might survive? I was so excited :/

Really? The sac should be gone? All of them except one still have it, and the one that doesn’t is very tiny and keeps twirling which I read is a sign of brain damage. All of them can swim and move, a fact I know because I spent two hours combing the substrate and chasing them this morning.

Will the heart keep beating even though the fry is dead? I can still see the heart beat inside one of the supposed dead fry, but they aren't moving or breathing as far as I can see.

Update: Tula had babies! 😍 I was able to find and collect in a small cup 8 alive babies. Unfortunately two died in the cup. The 8 (6 alive, 2 dead) are now in a breeder box in the tank. I hope I can keep them alive! Can someone tell me what to do next?

UPDATE: My intuition was correct! I was able to find and collect in a small cup 8 live babies. Unfortunately, at least two of them died in the cup, and I found at least 5 carcasses while I was combing the gravel. The combination of the gravel and the two fake plants allowed the 8 to live as...

I don't have any males or plants in the tank, and I don't have any plants that I could add except for duckweed which I don't think will help a whole lot.

Hi, I think my new white calico redtail platy might be getting ready to drop fry. She has a large gravid spot, and I can see what I believe are eyes inside the spot. I also noticed a white thing starting to come from under her tail, which from what I know might be the birthing tube. She is in a...

From what I’m hearing, this neighbor needs a wake up call. Idk what would work/what you could do though, except maybe calling the non emergency police number. That seems rather extreme though but 🤷‍♀️

Please excuse the garish fluorescent substrate, that’s what I get for buying a secondhand tank and having my mom pick up gravel without me there, lol.

I’m so sorry about the loss of your beautiful betta boy. Unfortunately, I know close to nothing about betta care and illness. I hope someone can help you figure this out!

Merry early Christmas to me! My mom took me to my LFS today, let me pick out two fish and two snails, and she paid for them as an early Christmas present :wub: she’s awesome! All my platies have a Disney/Pixar name theme, along with the two new snails, so without further ado I present: Tula...

Are we even going to have a zoom at this point or has the idea just dissolved into pure and utter chaos?
