This past week I got an albino Pelvicachromis pulcher male donated by someone. She had planned to go on a vacation to Italy and there was no one who was willing to take care of her fish. She had him with some goldfish. She assumed that he was a goldfish as well. So far her knowledge about fish...

That itself makes a proud feeling already...

That sucks. I don't have that problem overhere. We only have few very tropical days during the summer.

Overhere, really well...

Spotted skiffia, Tiro pintado (Skiffia multipunctata)...

Like I've already mentioned, it takes 4-5 weeks of an average gestation period in swordtails. And if she doesn't feel comfortable enough to drop fry, she can even hold on to them for longer.

Well, welcome aboard...:hi:

Males can color up. The more dominant the male, the better the color. Goodeids and Xiphophorus species are different genera but both do belong to the Poeciliidae family. Goodeids are viviparous while Xiphophorus species such as platies are ovoviviparous. This type of platy and goodeids originate...

Correct...

We call that a pin tail... Pin tail guppies do exist already for decades. Through retail you'll hardly find them again nowadays. They're still around in the show segment. But back in the 1970's till mid 1980's they were also sold through retail. I myself havern't seen them in an endler hybrid...

Typo of mine. Should be "american"

It's one of my favorite american dwarf cichlids...

Just came home from my best buddy who’s cleaning up his shed. He send me a WhatsApp if I could pick up the total breeding group of yellow metalhead guppies. He needs to create more space for his frogs and toads. After I was done catching all of those guppies, he told me that I could also take...

The average gestation period for a swordtail is between 4-5 weeks. If I don't want to let the female deliver the fry in the tank with others, I would p0lace her in another small tank or bucket. That's better than the floating birth cage as you call it. Overhere a video of mine. The female...

No worries about their size at this age... They look fine.

Now I'm just relaxing and keeping the windows and doors open. It's really tropical right now. Enjoying a big glass of ice water...

Hi & welcome to TFF... :hi: Even goldfish can be very interesting....

No worries, it won't eat the tinier fry.

I haven't noticed it clearly before then...

Just noticed your avatar. What has happened? Looks like neck brace... Hope you're allright?

I've been doing some errands (I just hate the supermarkets when the customers are overcrowding the store but unfortunately the errands won't come to the house by themselves..), cleaning the window and window sills, moved my chilli pepper plants outdoors, cutting all the older seed pods of the...

No growth or fungus. Something got stuck in its mouth...

They look fine for that age...

Welcome to TFF to start with... :hi: From these two pics I can not see whether it's a male or female to start with. Could you make a better close up from the side where we can also see it's anal fin?

Some pics I've made of mix guppies which I'm keeping outdoors...

The green bean vines are doing great in our backyard…
