yes they will be eaten, remove all fish and ornamints i found helped to catch them quicker.. just put them in a bucket or something. feed them crushed bloodworm and flakes.

yes. ammonia 0 nitrate 0.25 nitrite 0 ph 7.6 or so

Hello. My male guppy who i received from my local shop 2 months ago, has developed internal worms. The last few days I have noticed he was swimming sluggish and this morning he was sitting on the sand. I placed him into a breeder box for isolation and no one to bug him and shut the lights out...

in my experiance, once the fish has sticking out scales, its gonna die ad nothing to save it. cus the kidneys are gone at this point. a lot of this is caused by bad water quality.

She may be , a dark gravid means not much IMO, read the stickies. Also if she is pregnant she is no where near ready to have fry.

little more longer 1-2 weeks i'd say.

looks pregnant to me, but also maybe over fed the way the front bumps out.

Thank you, I will get some next time. I also got rid of the two male guppies ( was siblings) to prevent inbreeding. I got a new orange-red guppy male just one in place. So i have 1 female platy, two female guppies, and 1 male guppy. Also the lfs owner was nice enough to give me a baby black...

I had 5 guppies all females, and suddenly two became male. not sure if its the same as platies but if you keep all females together from what i read, some will become males.

Oh i have plants and rocks.

Just an update. My platy gave birth but since i was late at finding, i was only able to find 5 fry and 1 died in the trap over night. awww needless to say the fish looked nice and plumped lol. I hope next month i will be able to catch them fry babies. Mom is doing well so are the fry. I feed...

I agree, it is normal for fry to be born with some colour. Some platy's can even already have dark tails or the mickey mouse ears :)

No babies yet but she does act weird. She scoots alon up and down the corner of the tank and doesn't eat and hides. She hasn't gotten any bigger though

Remove all ornaments and inspect. I hope next time you have fry you seperate them :D

I guess what I read was wrong then. She is very pretty and I am pleased so far. I have a spare tank ready to hold her babies. But I will let her drop in the main tank I guess. Too much moving for her I don't want stress.

Looks like your text cut off OldMan :( Are these tuxedo fish tattooed to look like that, does this mean the fry will not be like her? I read they are tattooed fish how sad i was not aware.

Agh yes it is a tuxedo very cool. I read when you see the white tube near her bottom fins, it means she is going to have the fry. Are there any other signs?

I uploaded pictures. She is yellow with a twin bar tail and some black on her sides. What kind of platy is this?

I'm in Canada Ontario Woodbridge

A few hours together. No poking on her side or top. Like with their mouths like a bunt. Should I put her in a large breeder container till she drops?

I have 4 females 1 male. The tank is running for 8 months now without any problems or disease. The guppies never showed sign of agressiveness before new platy arrived. I do plan to keep the fry whatever survive I guess. I raised these guppies from babies.

Hi. I have a 10 gallon tank with 5 guppy juvenials. I just got an adult female platy and my guppies are poking her. I added plants to trick them, will they leave her alone? She is also pregnant I can also see the tube near her bottom and she is squared very much so. I will post pics shorty so...

ALL fish will eat guppy fry :)

Turn lights off leave her and stop peaking.

Why does hi link go to another site and not a pic? is it spam?

How do they create balloon mollies anyhow, what species are they breed from to create the distortion?

This is an albino

just boil water and drop it in, it will die instant. sorry it is harsh but reality.

I guess you could try saving the fry. But it will be harsh to do. Also any pressure you may place may just kill the fry too.

Hmm that is very odd indeed. Not sure looks like a tumor?Also i find it odd she has a buldge at the front and side

AHAHAHAHHA. well keep the lights off and stop peaking :D

very nice. yes those are Harlequin Rasbora.

i dont use them i find them terrible. :P

yes i agree, placing fish in a cramped box no matter what size small one or the larger ones is terrible method. apply coverage for the fry or get a tank divider. good luck!

many fish that are not even pregnant have the gravid spot you so called "bit." i like to tell you to read the sticky notes created by 5teady about the stages. I never go by the gravid spot colouring to see when a fish will drop because as i said many unpregnant fish got this spot dark, orange...

talk about stress. first she gets traveled into a new tank, then placed into a box. i say take her out and let her have the fry in the open.

very nice setups :)

1 gal per-inch of fish size, is a general idea.

My tank is in an unfinished basement. The ac runs too but the water is always at 76-80f as I check once a week. In the winter it's the same temp even though the furnise runs. Odd ain't it lol. So I'm gonna but a male soon. Should qt him and if so for how long, and will a container bucket do?

I never use a heater in my tank at all and they are doing great. As for the parents, the mom was grey with cream powdered blue tail and fins. The father I have no idea I guess he was dark because some of these fry have slight dark on half their bodies but they are still very grey. At the shop...
