That guppy has a bent spine. Possibly TB. Probably why she aborted.

I read that they won’t but listen to @Colin_T.

Keep an eye on him.

Guppies aren’t egg layers though. She would be carrying live fry. We all come from eggs so I suppose it could happen. They look large though more like goldfish eggs. I’d love a pic of the mother. If she is a guppy then the eggs won’t hatch. Sorry.

Can we see a pic of your fish? Those didn’t come from a guppy. Did you see the fish lay them? What else do you have in there? The eggs do look fertile so they should hatch.

I am definitely OCD about those dang tanks! Drives me insane!

Yep and I’ll put my home up against any of yours in a hurricane. It is designed with hurricane strapping, exterior walls built to codes to sustain hurricane winds, etc. Point is we are all living in areas prepared for what we normally deal with in our individual surroundings. I believe all...

Oh, admit it @Slaphppy7 , everyone in Texas is a filthy rich Oil tycoon billionaire. We just don’t want the rest of the Country to know so we live in small houses and drive beat up pickup trucks. There, the truth is out! Now go fetch me my Rolls Royce so I can go to McDonalds. ?

Well, you don’t know me very well. I am somewhat of a rebel. Most of my career was spent as a hospital Patient Advocate. This meant fighting for Patient Rights even when it went against the physicians, nurses, and even at times, our hospital Administration. 32 years and was never reprimanded...

Can it be any poly filter? I have some that I forgot I even had. Guess it won’t hurt to add it.

@AbbeysDad Yes, I had already read on that and purchased more Prime to be prepared. Our water company does use Chloramine. I read they are going to chloramine because it takes so long to evaporate. Even boiling it for an hour doesn’t remove it all. I did a pwc in my fry tank today out of...

I believe OP asked about “active” members.

So well put. I stopped listening when I learned how much fuel Al Gore used flying around in his private jet to spread the “ Global Warming”” warning. I argued and refused plastic bags at grocery stores trying to explain that plastic would end up in our land fills where as paper was bio...

Uh, no. My electric Bill in the Summer runs around $225.00 and my gas is about $25. In the winter they switch and the gas goes to about $100 and electric to about $150. I have a pool pump running 4 hours a day too. My home does have a high efficiency rating. Older homes may run $400 in...

I added Prime to all the tanks at normal dose just to protect another 24 hours. Hopefully, the boil notice will go off by then. Fingers crossed.

Thanks, @AbbeysDad. Would it hurt to double the Prime just to be safe?

Guess I’ll go test Params in some of various size.

I clean every Monday so skipped past Monday due to storm. Monday will be 2 weeks. Yuk!

Older homes aren’t insulated as well. Our home is 7 years old so it is very energy efficient and no issues. However, my son had a pipe bust in his garage because the builder didn’t insulate the outside garage wall. Most of us heat with natural gas but there are some total electric homes too...

We are still under a boil water notice here in Texas after freeze. However, pressure is back and water looks good. I read that bacteria that affect people during such notices do not affect fish. Anyone know if it is safe to clean tanks during this notice?

Lifeguard may work. It’s pretty good. Sometimes a fungal infection will occur after an injury.

It looks like fungus to me. I just read an article by Aquarium Cop that may help. I have a fish that hasn’t responded to fungus med so I’m going to try this. Good luck! If the fungus is located on the fish’s body, use a combination of Maracyn and Ich-X. Ich-X contains formaldehyde, methanol...

Funny, Al Gore called it “Global Warming”. Now it’s “Climate Change” because he got it wrong the first time around ?

I wouldn’t ban a fellow Texan! I just think our blood runs on Sun block and iced tea. We just aren’t made for this stuff. Give me a warm beach and a good horse. I’ll be a happy gal riding the shoreline. In my younger days I would have been riding in a bikini with cowgirl boots on. What a...

I normally would think this was beautiful but not now. Makes my stomach turn. ? I just need to hang on one more night. My tanks need cleaning but tap water not safe right now. Ugh! I need some fun in the sun!

@Fishiemang The water most likely contains chloramine instead of chlorine which produces ammonium. Ammonium will still test at low parameters but is not lethal like ammonia. :)

It is back on, thank you so much for caring. :)

I’m not going to keep explaining to you. One more time and then convo over. He was not and I repeat, not doing frequent water changes until after fish got sick. Done. Over and out! :)

The fish almost died until enough water changes were done which you were against. I think your peeled potatoes would have to be mashed in this case, my friend. ?

We have a joke circulating around about solar and wind powered energy. It states where they can stick that idea but I can’t post it on here. :). This was a wake up call and many leaders will be without jobs.

The logic is that he would have to do a fish “in cycle” which the fish can’t handle after being poisoned. By putting him in another tank then he can do daily water changes if needed to protect the fish. The other tank can continue a “fishless cycle” to grow bacteria without doing water changes...

I AM DONE WITH THIS COLD WEATHER STUFF! Low water pressure and 12 hours with no power today. Having to boil our water now. Spent the day topping off tanks to keep them warm and adding battery operated bubblers to all of the tanks. Wrapped them all tight like babies. All faired well in the end...

Yes, because he has been through so much, I would keep him in another container that you can do daily water changes in if needed. Use Prime as your conditioner. Don’t let nitrates get above 20 ppm. Since he’s improving, I would forget the methylene blue. You can use a small plastic tote to...

Our water pressure is down bad. I can’t even clean my fish tanks and you guys know how fanatical I am on that. Python couldn’t get any suction. :(

That’s crazy! Lol?

I have a 4 week old old Cory (Solo) who is living in a breeder basket by himself. I have a nursery tank with about 35 6 day old Cory fry. Could I put the 4 week old in with them? He could probably go in with the 3 month olds by not sure he would get enough food. Opinions? First is Solo and...

Yep, male. :)
