nice, love the mangrove type look! i think cories woudl love the sand here. looks very fine

there is like a heirarchy in the tank. my male guppies get too rowdy sometimes and get nippy. and when they are bothering females the females will try to fight back as well. so i see a lot of nips on males, and less on females. i think the competition is really big in my tank since there are...

moss balls are nice little algae balls that don't do a lot, but make sure they do not get direct light. it will burn them if you want to get more into plants, get anubias types. they are easy to grow and are not picky. i have had them live in basically what is a toxic dump of a puddle for a long...

that's a good idea, thanks. I know it is columnaris because one new fish from the store had it that i didnt quarantine and the day right after, 2 more fish got it. and after that, i strengthened the fish immnue system by doing giant water changes so i minimized the amount of fish getting it

hello, i'm wondering how i can treat it without using nitrofurazone as it is not available in CA can I only use kanaplex? and how do i use it effectively?

hello, i just found out that furan 2 is not availible in california where I live, is it ok if i only treat with kana?

I'll try to find some of the listed products in the link. thanks

the reason I cant add salt is first that I don't have enough, and also that I have cories who are very sensitive and snails, and 3 weeks of water change every day seems like too much for me to handle with school and everything going on. Yesterday there were a few fish, now there is only one fish...

edit: i'm willing to purchase products that I can get that are snail safe as well. i have a lot of pest snails and i think one nerite and one mystery does anyone know if FURAN 2 or metheleyne blue will work? or EM ERYTHROMYCIN

hi! I have currently 7 pearl gouramis in a tank, similar to cories, they feel secure if there are more of them around. I'd get at least 2 more if your tank allows for more. i had 3 for a while since one passed away and they were shy at that point, and when i got 4 more of them, they got way more...

woah that was an ancient message! i wonder why this thread got revived? that's cool! there are actually so many of them that maybe there's a chance that it's real! people dig up tons of these coins when searching for artifacts

Hello, recently because of a new fish that wasnt quarantined for long enough, some livebearers in the main tank have gotten cotton mouth. how do I treat this with the things I have? - a tiny bit of seachem paraguard (maybe 2 doses left) - lots of ich x - melafix - aquarium salt (cannot dose in...

yes, most fish are shipped from mass breeding farms in asia :) I really hope you get the 30 dollars back as that is more than the fish themselves!

sometimes fish are just weak, ESPECIALLY guppies. I just got 4 store guppies from petsmart and 2 died. normally our local petsmart is the most trustworthy for guppies, but maybe this batch was bad. It mostly has to do with the mass-bred guppies having bad immune systems and being very delicate...

do you have photos of these different kinds of fry? i've never seen bronze, blau, pink or golden fry before! There is one white fry mixed in with the rest of the nigrocaudatus in my tank

the pieces of moss and the red blob thing

maybe it will look like a rili but the clear parts are slightly orange? it would be a cool experiment! but maybe it will revert since you are mixing genes

that's very interesting! i would still be cautious about keeping them together, as i think you have to be very precise with the chemicals and such.

some of them are born gray, while some are born yellow and sometimes whitish. i'd say the majority of fancys are gray I came across this interesting diagram on @emeraldking 's website

Hello! I was on another smaller forum earlier and came across this post. what is this??? it looks like etoliated moss growing from this red blob... I am mostly stumped on the red blob...

Hello! does anyone have a chart or photos of different kinds of week-month old guppy fry? like different strains etc. I can't seem to find anything similar online

I think it is genetic then... there is only a father and his many daughters

perhaps they like to be neglected??? I have not fed mine once, it eats the naturally growing bio film and diatoms. It stopped laying eggs after a year though

beautiful fish! It is really unique! I've only saw one mutt before with the pink body, it is really cool how you made it into a whole strain! I think they will pop out more if you put a black background against the display container, because they have light colors and so does the wall, but that...

yeah, there seems to be enough cover and no other predators

I think he's a big box store "specialist" lol I've even saw halfbeaks at lfs, but nothing other than that

thanks! that is very useful. i like the females coloring, it is a little more yellow and nice, but it gets pretty hot here... for the swordtails, why is it that every fry turned out to be female? there is at least 10 full grown giant females and around 20 store sized females, and tons of fry

those are some interesting fish! they are so unique to what we already have, i thought they would just have very minor differences but I was wrong!

do you have a photo of the tank? what fish are in the tank? put them in the breeder net until they are not a bite-sized snack for larger fish

i think inverts are generally just more sensitive to water conditions than fish are. all my snails lived different ages... nerite 1 lived more than a year, #2 lived 2 years, #3 lived 3 years and is still living! shes a really big snail

finnex planted + 247 crv it is very customizable, and I made it to look like the sunset at the right time :) what will the babies most likely grow up as? for example if I have 100 ungendered platy fry, what will be the female: male ratio?

yeah, i think pairs of plecos and the chiclids would be too much as well

Here are the adults! you can see how vibrant they are! this is with no filters, the light really makes them pop out!

Here's the baby fish! The video is meant for an iphone so it is upright when i made the video i thought they were variatus, turns out they're not

Hello! I had a pair of xiphophorus maculatus that had 2 fry. more are on the way , i think. they are friendlier than the thriving colony of helleri hybrids in there, the neon variety of swordtails they follow each other around, and they don't school around with the swordtails that much Is...

nice, how do you make them look so similar? i've tried breeding 2 pure types together and they look mixed

i think that will still be too much how many bristlenoses excactly? and if they are breeding the chiclids might eat the eggs and fry

yeah, i think the minimum for acaras is 30 but with a lot of plecos and guppies they wouldn't fit
