Found a good DIY and have caught 2 so far, of course you also catch others but it is simple to separate them once caught. 4 more to go- smile.

I appreciate you trying thank you

Platy's and mollies.

It really does and I have tried that but my hands and reaction time has gone so far downhill in the last 10 years. I am to the point that a good trap is called for. thank you

I can't seem to catch a few fish even after tearing up half my tank. I need some kind of fish trap that actually works. I would appreciate someone that has had experience with these things pointing me in the right direction. thank you

Aragonite (not crushed coral) is what I bought. I am in the middle of changing from live bearers to egg layers. Frank is going to take the large live bearers and try to catch a few fry but they are soooooo many. The water supply readings are Nitrate 0...

Ok, PH 6.0, KH 0, gh 75 I hope that helps

I'm looking up gh and kh on google. I have platies, mollies, neon tetra's, honey gourami's, zebra danios, Oto's, Beta, siamese algae eater's and Cory,s. I also have shrimp and snails.

I don't really know how to correctly explain what is going on but a reading of 6.0 PH (that's as low a reading as the test strip show) it may actually be lower than that. My tank just does not act like a fully cycled tank should. I have ordered 10 pounds of crushed coral with the intentions of...

Yes that is it, I bought both because they said the shrimp love it. I thought maybe I might get to see my shrimp more often. Oh well, it was a valiant effort anyway---smile. I just don't know what to do with it but time may cure that.

I don't know anything about moss. I have no idea why I chose to click on buy but I did. I got flame moss on a rock (the rock is about the size of a 50¢ piece). I laughed for a good 5 minutes at this rock with a few strands on it. I've put it in the tank and the strands are starting to stand...

I am having the same problem but I have started treating it. Algae needs two things to survive and that is light and nutrients. I have turned my light off and I will leave it off for three days and then I will turn it on for one half the time that I was running it before. I am also cutting...

I have seen shrimp on You Tube and did about 4 hours of reading on them. I knew they would be small but somehow my mind was not prepared for just how small. I released 12 Amono shrimp and they immediately disappeared (my tank is heavily planted) and after a week I finally spotted two. I also...

Ahhhhh to be young again and not be attached to an oxygen tube and an IV tube, if I was a young 80 yrs old again then I could do the above. But as it is I will have to stick with Craig list with home pickup. If I could do all of your suggestions then I would never have considered a fish to eat...

I am going to list all live bearers for free on Craig list and just keep egg layers.

I don't know anyone that has fish in family or anywhere around here and I live in the middle of nowhere

This I will definately try.

First of all, I got the fish for their beauty with no intentions of breeding( I have no fish hatchery). I knew they would be a few which I was prepaired for with all of intent of keeping them and enjoying them. In the past whenever they had fry most would not make it, only a few would and I was...

No problem, it's good to know people care, which means they will try to give their fish the best quality life possible. I always try to maintain good quality water and feed quality food. I was prepared for a few fry to make it ( which is why I stocked light) but not 40 to 50 at a time.

Hmmmm you do realize I had fish for dinner yesterday. Also you do realize in most cases that the mother usually eat their own young and they are fry not kids. I believe in being kind to animals whenever possible but I also believe in natures way. You can carry a thing a little too far. If you...

My nearest LFS is 65 miles away and I have no transportation. Look, I get it, you want them all to grow up and have happy lives but I don't have the resources to do that. Nature's way is my only reasonable option or the freezer and throne.

I would if I could

Transportation is something I am really having a hard problem with. Due to my age and eyes Georgia took my license and the kids and grandchildren are always too busy. Besides if I let all of them grow up the bio load would overwhelm my filters.

I have to do something. These are all very young about 3/16 to 5/16 inch long and I have 4 more that are really big and about to have more. My fish won't eat them so all will be safe. i tried to get some when I did a water change but they are really fast. Sadly, my favorite fish are live bearers...

I just counted 104 fry and I am certain I missed quite a few. My fish will not eat or touch them. I need a good community fish that will definitely eat fry. Any suggestions please? I have guppies, mollies, platies, shrimp, neons and zebra danio's. thank you

Back in the day ( in the late 1940's ) when I was in the hobby before, the biggest problem was that they were swallowed as fast as they popped out, you were extremely lucky to have one or two to survive. Now all of them survive, the surprises never stop.

I love Mollies and Platy's but they are having Fry like crazy. I counted 42 in 1/2 my tank ( Im certain I missed quite a few ) and you can't net them without tearing your tank up. When they get a little older the Bio load is going to be too much for the filter. Their are 3 more that look like...

My tetra trio is Rummy Nose, Cardinal Tetra, Neon Tetra. I just can't help it!

I wrapped my Tank in a blanket for a week and it came back with a vengeance . So I would not count on a 3 day thing and I certainly would not count on the fish eating enough to control it.

Every since I bought plants I have been plagued with Duck Weed and pest snails. I can handle the snails but the Duck Weed has plagued me to no end. I have scooped every leaf I could find and used a magnifying glass on the plants that had reached the surface of the water and two days later I...

I think that I am going to halt trying to buy new fish until this virus thing is over. I am going to focus on tank maintenance, my prefilter needs cleaning and my dual sponge filter needs cleaning also. I need to breakdown my Sunsun 704 B and clean the sponges or replace them, plus add another...

It is really hard to get anyone to drive me the 65 miles to the LFS, evryone is always busy with something else. I notice you are from Kentucky, which in 1946 I lived in Cawood right outside of Harlan but back then the roads was a lot different.

I really don't mind a reasonable single shipping charge, its when you have to buy 4 fish here and they are out of stock of everything else you want, you go to another place and they have one thing and are out of stock for the rest I have absolutely no doubt this will be my last aquarium so I...

I would really like to do just that but Georgia took my Driver Permit (for my own safety due to my age, even though I had no ticket's or accident's) and I'm hooked to an oxygen line permanently and an IV for 6 hrs a day. I find I must beg for a ride and every one seems to be busy.

I have found liveaquaria.com to be out of stock on everything I want but Wet Spot Has a few and I will be ordering there soon. I do wonder how much their shipping is tho and why they don't have all their photo's up. Oh well, you can't have your cake and eat it also. Thank you ever so much

I need to find a place that I can buy Mollies, Platys and Guppy's at a half way reasonable price ( no $200.00 a guppy) so I can pay a single shipping charge. I would be extremely grateful for some help on this. Thank you so much ancient

I already have 16 long finned Danio's and I do love it when they flash the fins, but I think I will hold off buying more for I have more of them than any other type. Besides I might have to freeze the ones I have and that is not a happy thought. I will give them another month. I wish to thank...

I have a 60 gallon tank that is lightly stocked and heavily planted. The main targets are the 2 marigold variatus and the 3 Moscow Guppy's followed by the 4 platy's and 2 mollies. They leave the 2 Angel's and 2 swordtail's alone.

While I wanted 10 danio's, they only had four so i bought them and they were constantly fighting. I read that if they were too few then they would fight but if there was enough they would school and stop fighting. So I bought 12 more and they are still fighting like mad and they are picking on...
