Thank you so much!

What sort of background? I have about 15 1 inch mix of platty, Molly, guppy. They've been happy and healthy as far as I can tell for a year. I do regular water changes. I did just add a couple BSTs and some from bit from someone else's tank so very possible there was a transmission in there

Oh 😳 how do I do that

They've been picking at the frog bit I added so could it be milky colored like the bottom of the plants..? Or does it look wormy?

I'm a horrible mother. Thank you. Any idea why his nose is whack?

I treated this dude for Ich a bit a ago and I thought he had been hiding out for a while after the stress of quarantine, but I just a glimpse of him super skinny and scraggly looking. He's always had funky nostril bumps but now I'm not sure that's normal since none of my other BSTs have it...

Is a 300 watt heater to much for a 50 gallon tank? Tank has lots of rocks and substrate, decorations, and plants so true water volume is closer to 40-45

Does the fact that he stayed sunk when he passed mean he had a parasite weighing him down? I want to make sure I don't need to worry about the community tank.

No they weren't. He didn't make it :( it was so weird though, he didn't even float when he died. He was on his side at the bottom.

He isn't getting off the bottom at all :(

Not yet! It needs to be boiled and skinned, right? Will it sink down where he can get to it?

Hello everyone. I adopted a couple of fancy guppies about 2 months ago from a previous owner and added them to my community of Mollie and platties. One of them always had an engorged stomach that I thought might have been pregnancy until I learned to identify that it's a male. On a previous post...

Thanks for the input!

Does anyone know what those squiggly white lines are? I haven't noticed them before but he's been very good at hiding since I brought him home about a month ago. So I don't know if they're new or what...

Hi, yes. Both are 20 gal tanks but one is high and one is long. The long footprint is 12.5"x30"

He is rehomed with a very experienced fishkeeper in a 75 gal with a friend like him!

Great news, I was able to rehome Sylvester the Catfish to a very experienced fish keepr with a 75gal and he was happier right away, swimming and exploring and latching on to everything. He has a buddy now too.

I appreciate everyone's input! I decided not to add any corys to either of my communities. But someday if I have more space I'd love to have a school of them :)

Hi Hi yes it is a 20 US gal, but a high tank (20h). As I understand footprint is more important for keeping bottom feeders than volume. The general op seems to be that my tank is too small

Okay, thank you. How much space do you think that would be? I also have a 20 long

Can I keep 2 dwarf corys in a 20h with a 10"x20" footprint? I'd have driftwood and caves up to mid tank, but I want to make sure they'd have enough bottom space to thrive.

I did not expect to get to attached to them either! ! haven't heard of soaking decorations! Do you do that before you add them or when you clean the tank? How often? Thank.you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Keep the pup away from fish food. Got it!

Thank you for sharing!

Too early? As in the tank wasn't well established enough to keep them fed? Thanks for your reply!

I keep smooth gravel in my tanks. Sand is better? Why? Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your advice. I took the wood out a few hours ago and the little guys are swimming down around mid tank again. I'm a little worried about my catfish but from the sounds of it he needs a bubbler

I don't have a bubbler. I'm going to pick one up this week!

I have another 20 gal long that gets the same tap and everyone in that tank is fine. Do you still think it's still the water? Or the surface needs more aggitation?

What do you wish you had known before you got into the hobby? What's been your greatest mistake? What did you do the hard way until you learned better?
