thanks :sad: I am wondering if I should get some sort of tank mate for my lyretail guppy. Do they need a companion or are they alright by themselves? The tetras school together, and Slash just kinda chills toward a corner of the tank. He doesn't seem to be unhealthy at all, just lonely. He used...

Thank you. I regret to inform that Dipstick died overnight.

Alright, so I did my feeding, and she ate (minimally, but she ate) and is swimming around well. Not a definite fix, but slow improvement. Should I try pellet food for her or stay with the flakes? (asking a lot of questions. sorry.)

I've watched her for a little bit tonight while the light was off. She's swimming around a lot, still on one side of the tank, but she's swimming up, down, and around a lot. She sometimes gravitates toward the top but then swims back down; she seems to do better when the light is off. Could this...

This is going to sound bad (I promise I care about my fish), but I use the great value spring water. I have no source of income, and [I know, I know, don't trust everything you read online] I read that it was alright to use. I could convert to conditioned tap, but not sure if this will stress...

Okay, well, I'm just looking for help with my molly. Do you have any information about her condition? I'm just worried about her.

These are the best I got, very sorry. (Slash is being a camera hog... oops.)

Sure, I'll try to get it very soon. (Another thing I forgot to add on the post is that most of the time, her back fin clamps as she wiggles.)

Hello. I've posted about Dipstick before, when she was pregnant (unfortunately, all fry were eaten.... but that's not the topic here). Dipstick is a dalmatian molly, and I've had her for about.. 6-7 months? She's been doing fine until about a week ago. She's not eating and hasn't been.. she...

Thank you for the advice! It turns out that she was pregnant after all, either that or I had neon tetra eggs somewhere.. I couldn't identify the fry. I only saw one in the tank, floating by a rock (it was alive) but one of my neon tetras turned toward it and I haven't seen it since.. not sure if...

Hi, I've recently noticed that my dalmation molly looks bigger and her gravid spot is getting darker... I've never had babies before! I know what to do, but I'm just not sure if she's pregnant. I'll attach pictures:

I have the picture on the original post.

Nothing is wrong with the tap water, I can use it if necessary. Do you know anything about the black spot on his fin? It may be just coloration, but i'm not sure?

I use the jugs of spring water, yes. I have the picture now as well. The light alters it, but in this photo, it is transparent grey. The small black dot on his body is natural coloring (it was there when I got him).

Thank you so much for the advice! Also, will moving the fish back and forth stress them out? Just wondering. I do not use water conditioner because I use spring water, but I have a sample packet of it from getting the tank if needed.

For more information (not sure if this is relevant) the pH is normal (around 7.2).

The tank is a 13 gallon and it has been set up for about.. 10-12 weeks? I'm not sure. The picture will not send to my email so I'll get it as soon as possible.

Thank you for the stocking advice, I'll look into changing it up. Also, I'm new to owning fish, so some of these I may not know. I'm not sure of the first four but I will look into them as soon as possible. It is filtered, heated (78 f), water is changed 20% about every week (I try to keep it...

My male fancy guppy (Slash) has been doing absolutely fine, and I've had him for about four weeks or so. Although, just recently, I've noticed a spot on the front of his dorsal fin that has turned solid black in the morning, and a more transparent grey in the evenings. It is also on a thin line...
