    Fish fry escapes nursery tank

    It has been a full 24 hours since he escaped his nursery and he is still swimming around the tank. I think it is the same fish but not sure since my eyes are not that great for tiny details like that it seems.

    Hi again

    I am aware that Cory needs friends, but I can see if the pet store near my job has Cory catfish. I can go there not this week as I would not have the funds for the fish but once I do I can do that for Cory.

    Hi again

    The guppies do not have their own names at the moment. The platy's name is Stevie though. The lone catfish is Cory. I did name two guppies, TJ and Tammy but due to my mental health issues and other possibly other reasons I lost some guppies so I am not sure right now if I still have TJ and...

    I am thinking of getting some new friends for my lonely Cory some time this month. Well he is the only catfish in the 55 gallon aquarium.

    Where are all these baby guppies coming from? and platy question

    Why does it seem like there is no baby guppies for a while and then all of a sudden baby guppies start to appear? is it because I have not been observant (probably due to the holidays)? Or do guppies go into cycles of no babies then babies then back to no babies, etc etc etc? I know they are...

    Lone Cory wants more friends like him

    I still have not gotten Cory any corydora catfish friends. I thought of it today but decided to put it off once again. When I can get more catfish, does it matter if the new younger cories are not the same type as Cory? How many cories do you recommend me getting? It is a 55 gallon tank with...

    No new fry

    I got one corydora and now four platies in the same tank. Now I have a lot of guppie but I think they are all related. Would it be a good idea after making sure the platies are settled in to get some new guppies. If so should I get more girls or guys or a mixture? Sent from my iPad using...

    Platies and guppies

    I went to the pet store today to get a goldfish for my goldfish tank. Problem was that the only goldfish they had were so much smaller and younger than my three goldfish therefore I did not get a new goldfish. I saw that there were platies on sale. I decided to get two red wag platies (a boy...

    No new fry

    I have not seen any new fry from my guppies in a while. I am not sure if they are not being produced or just being eaten up before I see them. I am thinking of doing extreme water change but probably not 100% as it is a 55 gallon tank. I have not tested the water yet. I am looking into a...

    Good for 55 gallon tank

    I got a fifty five gallon tank. I am trying to get a filter and hood for it with my tax refund. I might have asked before but how would I know what size hood to use? I am thinking of getting a marine land penguin power filter for 50 to 70 gallon tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Question about platies and swordtails

    My tank is 55 gallons. I went to petsmart to get some platies that were on sale for a dollar but those were sold out. I saw a pair of black mollies on sale for two dollars each and of course they came home with me. If I have mollies does that mean I cannot get swordtails or platies? Sent...

    Can I use two filters in one tank

    I got the wrong size filter. Actually I had a 20 high which I upgraded to a fifty five. I used the filter for the twenty right now in my fifty five and obviously it is not working. I saw that petsmart has a great sale which makes a good filter for my size tank affordable. If I can get the...

    Question about platies and swordtails

    I am thinking of getting more fish when I get a new filter for my tank. I am thinking of getting some platies and swordtails. My question is do they care that they are not the same type of fish? Basically will the swordtail mate a platy or the other way around. Also would both make good tank...
