Hey,
How long has he just been sitting there? I sometimes have my adult female mollie sitting down on the gravel for up to 5 minutes then she will move around, I think she likes it there because theres no current.
Missy
soz! I made a typo error, how long was the bucket of water left after you had got it out of the tap? Also how hot was it? A 90% watter change is alot! If 90% of there water isn't right this is the reason...
Wow thats really good,
Ive bought all my fish from a pet shop. The fist time i went there to buy fish, I saw a dried up tetra on the wall behind one of the tanks. I said nothing. Amazingly when i returned 1 month later for my next lot of fish it was still there!!!!!! Hadn't anyone seen it? :o...
I didn't train my fish, but its odd, I sit down, open the lid of fish flakes and they all go shooting up to the top of the water, maybe its the yellow conatainer where the fish flakes are that they reconise or THE SMELL? :S
I dunno!
Hey,
Mine just looks fat... its perfecty healthy and has been looking like this for AGES... Can you see the eggs in the tetras body when their pregnant? I think shes just holding alot of eggs or shes just fat.
Missy
Yeh I guess, I do do the gravel vac every 3 or 4 weeks, but i understand what you mean... I would do it more often its just I need help from my Dad and he doesn't like to do it to often! :S
Missy
Hey,
Ive got a 96 litre tank (21.117 imperial gallons or 25.368 us gallons) that already has
1 Guppy
Around 5 fry
2 Marble Mollies
2 (unknown type Mollies)
9 Neon Tetras
4 Flame Tetras
2 Platys
Around 4 platy fry
None are longer than this <------------------------>
Can I add any more? If...
Hey,
Im doing the lettuce in glass at the mo, but the problem is so bad.
This is what ive got in my tank:
1 Guppie
Around 5 fry
2 Marble Mollies
2 (unknown type Mollies)
9 Neon Tetras
4 Flame Tetras
2 Platys
Around 4 platy fry
NONE ARE BIGGER THAN THIS <--------------------->
Could I add...
Hey,
yeh I do! umm well do you have a spare tank? You could grown them in there? It can be a pretty small one... but then need to be at the same temperature as your fish. They would also need some live plants and a rock.
Missy
Hey,
Keeping anything alive isn't easy... youve done really well tho...
so, are you giving her back, and keeping him and nurse him back to health? Am I right? Im a tad bit confused!!!
Missy
Hey,
Just tell him to put a few in his tank, as snails like everything the same as fish, temperature of water ect... they will breed by themselves.... i have a snail problem at the moment... i just can't shake them off... they mate all the time! He should have baby snails in no time!
Missy
Hi again,
I no they can survive in 2 weeks, but it would be nice to keep your fish in top condition, so just buy little blocks of food which float to the bottom.. thats all i was saying :)
Missy
Hey,
would botia loaches and pakistani (yo yo) loaches go well with the fish i have in my tank, guppies, millies, platies and tetras? Are they aggresive any of these?
Thanks, Missy
Hey,
well they swim quite slowly and quickly, depends on what is stressing them or irritating them and sometimes they go into a dark corner or sit around the bottom. They would also poo alot.
Missy
Hey,
Every week i would spend around 15 minutes taking out snails (I have a snail problem at the mo) and i would clean the glass. But every 3 or 4 weeks I do a 50% water change and clean out my filter.
Missy
yeh, hes not that bad, a gentle-man... hehe newayz,
yeh i might try the container I will see how she goes tonight and if no more fry are born by tomorrow morning i will put a container in.
Ive seen 3 fry for 2 days now and no new ones have been born :/
Hi,
Im thinking of buying clown loaches as i have a snail problem! Do clown loaches go with platies, mollies, tetras or guppies?
If not are there any snail eating fish that would go well with all the fish i have?
Missy
Hey,
I just wanted to say you don't have to go to great lenghs to keep your fry alive, like feeding them fry food or separating them from the other fish.
Mine were fed on normal adult flakes and they were born into the wide open tank. In the end I got 20 adult guppies! Thats more than enough...
Hey,
They should be fine for 3 days.
But in furture if you go away for a longer period of time say 1 week you can buy blocks of food which the fish will eat at slowly... If you go away for over 2 weeks without feedinf fish they can develop eating problems.. like we would. :/
