HAHA, this cracks me up. I could watch my kuhli loaches and corydoras all day if I had the chance too! The kuhli loaches are like little noodles swimming in water! the corydoras are like little submarines when they are swimming. They zoom EVERYWHERE!

They will be fine, what kind of rams are you adding? golden? blue?

who sounds like him?

My rule is if the mouth of the discus is bigger than the fish you are adding, don't add the other fish until they are bigger than the discus mouth.

Sounds like his parent instincts kicked in(which mollies don't have usually), so when you took the babies away, his instincts went back to normal. I am thinking it is like a female cat, she will not eat anything for a few hours and take in anything fuzzy, including baby raccoons, baby birds...

Agree, male mollies only chase off other fish especially other male mollies, so he can be the first to mate with the female after giving birth. As for protecting the fry, are you sure he is protecting the fry and not chasing them away? I have never heard of a male molly EVER protect fry. Though...

Well, corydoras are catfish which are scaleless, which means they are very sensitive to copper. Honestly, if there is still ich because ich can survive even with the harshest chemicals, I would completely empty all of the water out of the tank, remove the gravel, get new gravel, and replace...

Well, hehehehehehe, so I keep both kuhli loaches and corydoras. I have over 40 kuhli loaches in my 60 gallon along with around 20 corydoras in my 60 gallon. I have over 40 corydoras in my 20 long(because they are all babies and growing!) and I have 20 in my 10 gallon hehe! So, kuhli loaches, in...

I like google hangouts better, what do you guys think?

Usually corydoras, when you can't find them are either stuck somewhere or they are dead and getting eaten by your fish(all fish eat anything that is dead). Do you see any bones in your tank? a skull?

It is just to make you question :p

Actually, they eat to the baby brine shrimp just like any other fish, yes they are bottom feeders, but they swim to all parts of the tank. Top, mid, and bottom. Sand isn't needed for at least the first week of a cory fry's life. Mine have bellies full with baby brine shrimp. Little pellets make...

We could make a messenger group.. for all the fish people here.

Hello, and congrats on the eggs! Not many people are ever prepared for eggs;). When I had left mine in a breeder box, I regretted it as they all escaped and got eaten that day. If you don't want to cycle the 10-gallon tank, just do water changes every day. Sponge filters easily colonize on the...

I LOVE this lock-down so much! But, don't get me wrong, it does get lonely sometimes. I have friends over once a week for dinner since this isolation happened :p

Frogs can't be pregnant, but they can lay eggs. If she is pregnant, then she will lay her eggs on the surface of the water. She does look bloated or filled with eggs, I can't tell you which because if they just eat blood worms, then yes she is fat. Cut back on the feeding for a few days and see...

You have some interesting species together, I wonder how they cope together. As long as your pH is higher than 6.5, then you should be good. As for other species, um I wouldn't suggest any. Tiger barbs will literally nip at all of the top dwellers I am thinking about.

well......I don't have any fish Stores near me,*sigh*

You can't ever have perfect water parameters. If your cory lost its barbels, that means the sand or whatever you are using for substrate, is dirty, which causes the barbels to fall off/turn red.

Green algae grows from leftover food and sunlight. If your fish aren't eating all the fish food, then it will turn into a breeding ground for algae. Algae needs water, sunlight, and nutrients(left-over fish food)

Agree, without knowing these things, we can't give you stocking ideas. We have to follow what your GH and pH are. If you don't have the right requirements for the fish you have now, you may have to take them back, so don't add anything until we know your GH and pH.

I have a lot of fish, so I feed almost everyday, skipping a day during the weekend. I feed a pinch to two depending on what I'm feeding. I feed a big chuck of blood worms to my 60 gallon as I have angels, scissor rasboras(rasbora trilineata), angels(pterophyllum), corydoras(mix of albinos...

If you ever think she is bloated, feed de-shelled peas. If that doesn't work, then it could be something else like her insides are enlargened or she could have eggs. We do need pictures as soon as you can please to hep!:)

Corydoras like to be groups of 6 or more. It is the natural shoal. :)

Yes they are very sensitive to warmer water. There is a reason why they need cooler temps. First thing the OP could/should do is turn the temp down. Next add at least 2 more to the shoal. Your tank isn't big enough for 8-10. You could try but depending on the type of pepper it is, they could...

All three of the species shouldn't be in a tank with 80 degrees. Please turn it down to 72-76. Corydoras NEED to be in bigger groups. Three simply isn't enough. They are a shoaling fish. Please read up on the species before adding any other fish.

Lol why you just call them stupid? And OP peppers need cooler water temperature, not warmer water. You need to turn the temperature down. You also need a bigger group, as 3 corydoras isn't enough.

You said the tank is only a month old right? That's what I'm saying, they need a very mature tank as they eat the microorganisms from the tank along with algae. What's your nitrates ?

Ok! Welcome to the world of corydoras breeding! I have been breeding mine for years. Easiest way to keep them alive? Have another small tank ready and cycled for them, (sponge filter, leaves, and baby brine shrimp)! Mine LOVE baby brine shrimp and go crazy. There bellies are always fat. Great...

How long has the tank been running for? I learned the hard way, got the tank cycled, added about 80 to the tank, and they started to die. 300 dollars later I realized that they need a very mature tank.

What are your water parameters?

Those aren't guppies. Looks more like platies/mollies to me. Is it fuzzy? Hard?

Ok OP you are asking a question right and people are giving you answers..? Am I wrong? You are asking for help and we are giving you help yet you just don't listen. Sounds like you think you know it all, but buddy I've been in fish keeping for 6-7 years and I'm STILL learning. You are a newbie...

Agree

Welcome! :)

No ich, as for pleco, that "little one" is going to get around 2 feet long. Depending on how big your tank is, maybe you could get a smaller pleco like a bristle nose pleco.
