You have to look at the fin. This will help. If she IS the only female, it could cause problems later. Generally you want a ratio of 3:1 females to males. If not that 2:1. You don’t want multiple males and only one female, they will chase her and tire her out. Personally, I don’t think there is...

Yes, that is a female. She looks fairly large, if I honestly can’t tell if she’s pregnant from the pictures. If she is, she’s not extremely far along. Hope that helps!

She doesn’t look pregnant from the picture , can you maybe take more, (including one from the other side? Thanks. Best of luck.

Both are 76-77. Lights are on probably around 13-15 hours.... now that I think about it, that’s probably too long.

New to plants in my tanks. I got this dwarf sag recently. (Mid July, so sort of recent) and it just doesn’t seem to be doing very well. The leaves are transparent and brown. What might be the cause of this? The same thing has been going on with an Amazon sword since I got it in January. Tanks...

I’ll be home to check on them in 20 mins, so I can test then change the water and see how they’re doing.

I didn’t clean the tank, just picked it up and moved it to a new location. Yes, it was all set up before I moved the fish in. It was the same tank they were living in before.

Since yesterday afternoon, around 1 PM. So it’s been about 12 hours since the problem started.

I haven’t added anything to the tank, and this tank is in my room, so I my family wouldn’t have sprayed anything into it. And yes, it has a lid.

It’s the same tank, I didn’t change anything about it. It’s a different area, the same room. The temp hasn’t changed, I made sure the new water matched. That one guppy did pass. The two left are still clamped and gasping at the surface. The Platys show no signs of illness.

What do you recommend I do to help the remaining fish? Please let me know if you need more information to come to a conclusion.

I sincerely apologize. I thought I told the results, but I guess not. Sorry for the confusion.

That’s what it appears as, but the test shows up as normal. They were fine one moment (as far as I could tell) them dying the next.

I did an 80 percent water change, twice. I believe I’ve said multiple times what the test results were, ammonia and nitrite 0, nitrate 15.

I’m sorry, I’m trying the answer the best I can. I’ve done two water changes since this problem started. One early yesterday afternoon, and one later last night.

I tested it before I left this morning it was the same, totally normal.

The strangest thing yet is that this seems to only be affecting guppies, not the Platys. This morning I found two guppies dead, so there are two left. The Platys don’t seem bothered, although I’m sure they’re stressed too. Unfortunately I’m at school, and I’m worried about not being able to...

I used dechlorinator (prime) but I’m on a well so I wouldn’t expect not adding it to cause a huge problem. I just turned the lights off, I only had them on for the picture.

Uh oh. This fish looks like it’s got a swim bladder issue. Something is not right here.:confused:

I don’t think anything got into the tank, but I can’t be 100% sure. I used water conditioner. I’ll test the water now. Should I do a water change to remove anything that may have contaminated it?

This is Lincoln. He’s a Border Collie Labrador mix. He turned seven in April. We adopted him into the family when he was 4. The family who owned him previously did not socialize him as a puppy, which is important for border collies. Because of this, he didn’t have the greatest behavior. They...

Things are not improving. Some of the fish look a bit better, but most are still gasping at the top. I found one that must have passed away last night. What could be causing this?

No, they were scooped into another container.

Hello everyone. I just finished moving a 20 long, stocked with guppies and Platys. They don’t seem to be doing well at all. Temp is the same as before, I added an air stone because they are gasping. 10 mins ago, I had to baby fish. Now, right when I was putting the lid on, I saw two guppy fry...

Sorry, I sort of meant that like they mostly prey on the easier things, not the bigger snails. That’s what I’ve seen anyway, should have clarified.

I think it would solve the problem, since so far there isn’t many bladder snails.

Technically the remaining water in your tank is already dechlorinated, so there is no reason why you would want to add extra water conditioner, unless it is serving another purpose.

Assassin snails only eat snails their size or smaller.

Hmm. Any thoughts? It’s hard to tell from a zoomed in picture... maybe nerite snails eggs, knowing the stocking would for sure help us all figure it out. :)

Maybe eggs of some kind? What’s the stocking?
