Well they weren't active before Dyson (pleco) and perameters are all testing okay....hmmm...

Is this why they are rarely active?

Hey guys. Sorry I've been absent, the new kitten is here and demands tons of attention. Anyhow...As some of you know, I use my ten gallon mostly for a hospital tank. To keep it stocked, so that it's always ready, I keep 5 zebra danios in there and a small pleco for algae control (pleco is...

ok. wanted to make sure it wasn't like a warning sign or something.

my filter on that one is not adjustable and I'm beyond broke, what can I do? I forgot to mention, it had a filter media change on Tuesday

Tank size: 10 Gal pH: 7.8 (dropped in a "correct pH tab this morning upon discovery of film) ammonia:0 nitrite:0 nitrate:10 kH:180 gH:150 tank temp:78 Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): The fish themselves seem perfectly fine, the water is...

I gravel vacc'd with fry on Sunday. All I did is have my fiance watch the bucket for fry (I really stir the gravel when I vacc, so it gets too cloudy to see them on the outside) None came through and all are happy as can be.

Heehee, don't feel bad, I'm up to...12 adult mollies and all of them will come up and interact with me until I pull out the camera...then suddenly they're gone.

So we got cheap Zebra Danio's to keep our 10G Hospital cycling. This past week, they have had a new patient and been good to her. She died in mid medications. So of course, I stopped medication, scooped her out, and did a water change (they were due, about now, but was going to wait for the...

Well, for the house I'm in now, we want a 55g. I would design my own stand (My grandfather is a carpenter...I'm so spoiled.) and it would be probably brackish water, as it would be home to many different types of Mollies, and all plants would be live. Once we have our own house instead of apt...

Type of Animal: kitten Average cost of purchasing animal and supplies: So far for start up costs, we have spent about $60. Though we had a lot of coupons, that we added to sale prices (due to coupon with sale price, got 30 lbs of litter down to $5 from original 15) But it also depends on where...

Sorry, spaced, I'm busy staring at the tank, we've been trying to get an accurate count! They're all Mollies. I can't say what color, cause it looks like it was a black mating with a creamsicle...so each one seems to be a bit different.

So the big pregnant fish had her babies, and I'm almost wishing that some of my adult fish would eat some fry...Why? We're estimating 40-50 fry. We're already looking for homes, however we wanted to allow some natural selection aka survival of the fittest occur and the adults don't even seem to...

Well, today was going to be day 4 of medication. However, I awoke, and looked in, she was a goner. We will be going to LFS tonight, because that throws our ratio off in the big tank. We're hesitant to do anything though, because although the males are getting very very agressive to eachother and...

Hey guys. My black Molly, nicknamed Big Mama, is either still pregnant or pregnant again without rest between batches. She showed signs 6 weeks ago, and almost 2 weeks ago, dropped some fry. We think there are like 10 fry in there. I understand that if it is a full batch, this is rather small...

Alright, I will see what I can do about the third of their breed, there is another, but he is definitely male. They also have very different coloring. He is mostly dark, she is mostly silver. I really really appreciate all of your help, fishkies, and I will let you know how it goes. I think it's...

Alright, I will go up tomorrow and pick some up. Thanks...Will it be okay if I have to leave her in the main tank? It says it's okay for live plants, so not hugely worried about that, just the fry and other fish, I know humans shouldn't have certain medications if not ill...will it effect them?

Yes I do. I have been slowly adding it (2 tablespoons/week) since the set up of the tank. It's only been set up like 3-4 weeks though.

Also, I'm not sure what to do, our 10g has 5 zebra Danios, which apparently don't tolerate the salt, so I cannot move them to the molly tank. The only other thing I have is a 2.5g, with no lid, heater or filtration... As cruel as it sounds, the danios are still under warranty, but what would...

What kind of medication do you recomend? We're in the US, up in MN

Sorry, I myself have been ill. Her fins and everything seem normal. She eats here and there. Sometimes she hides, sometimes she seems to be flourishing...She doesn't look quite as ill but definitely still is

She is definitely suffering of something. She seemed worse this morning. She hides constantly, and the shimmies have grown larger. She didn't eat this morning that I could tell...Her tailfin is still limp and she holds all fins against her body except the twi sude ones to be able to stay...

From what I can tell, she's same size. She doesn't come UP for feedings, but if I put in enough for some to sink to her, she'll eat. Sometimes shell just stay at the top...

I also cannot go to LFS tonight, I have to attend a funeral for my friend. This is getting so frusterating!!!!

She appeared to be getting worse, so I moved her into the smaller tank with the danios and of course, put stress coat in. They come near her and she nips at them--she was never an aggressive fish. She keeps going into the absolute smallest spots she can find. She doesn't seem to move her tailfin...

Okay. I think I will change some of the rocks around. some of the plants are new to all. I do put salt in, not a lot though. I have only put 2 tablespoons in so far I've never had a fish go in, be happy like that and suddenly become this lethargic. I thought about putting her in the other tank...

Tons of hiding spaces, probably about 6 caves (We stack rocks in patterns to create them), have about 5 large live plants, plus 3 fake decent ones. She was doing great before, but I'm wondering if I should move a few things about, since she was last introduced? It seems the guys have less...

Tankmates: 3 total male mollies, 6 females (different types, but all Molly) Fry (current suspect amount is 8 ), 1 columbian spotted pleco 45 Gallon tank, Been set up a week, but has mature filter media in it. No gravel vac water changes yet, 2 10% scoop out water changes due to the fry since Wed.

We have something funky going on in the tank. Monday we bought two silver lyretail molly females, one dalmation lyretail male and one female dalmation lyretail. Our female dalmation died within two days after becoming very lethargic. She didn't appear to have anything wrong. We exchanged her for...

She's also swimming with kind of a "shimmy"

Hey guys... I have heard that plecos love zuchinni, so we picked some up to try and see if ours can be so generalized. My questions are as follows: Should we cook it, or leave it raw? How can we keep it from floating, we don't have a veggie clip and can't pick one up right now? How often should...

The nice thing about paint, especially Acrylics, is you can start with some basic colors-any good art supply store employee can help you with what those might be. Not Micheals, something like Dick Blick or Utrecht. Feel free to PM me if you'd like some suggestions.

That's what I was thinking too, and quite honestly, the tank, on it's stand is about 5 feet tall...

When it comes time, I'll set a rock on the back, our tank is covered very well, so the falling shouldn't be an issue.

Okay, I will write that on my list. I'm considering letting my fiance take me to the less corporate store, exotics & Aquatics. Problem is is they are rumored to have tons of snakes and I'm deathly afraid of snakes (As in can't move, rapid heartbeat, shaking...etc.)

Hey, gorgeous work. I would definitely suggest investing in your artwork and learning paint, you can get the vivid colors like Lassen does. You don't even have to take a class, just pick up some paint (acrylics give an easy start), some brushes and start experimenting, it's how I've learned. I...

Hey guys, just a curiousity question... As we all know cats and fish are natural predators. We have a 45g set up, pretty high up, I couldn't imagine a kitten getting in, but they can be pretty inventive. We will soon be adding to our home a very young kitten (Quick story: Our fish lady at petco...

Hey guys. I have a 45g with a total of 9 various types of Mollies, columbian spotted pleco, and now, fry. Fiance and I are running to the LFS tonight to pick up some plants. Any suggestions? We're still kind of new and only have what Petco sells as a "combination plant" Oh, and I need it to be...
