Hello again Did another water change yesterday and swapped over a load of fish. I took back 4 of the platies, 3 mollies and the 2 glowlight tetra and replaced then with 4 black widow tetra. The molly fry will be next to go as soon as they are big enough. So that leaves 2 Platies 6 Mollys...

As far as I know all of the platies are male. There are three male and six female. I don't know about the fry yet. I was thinking of returning (swaping) 4 of the platies and 2 or 3 of the mollies and maybe the glowlights and bringing back just 2/3 new fish, something cleaner. So return 9...

OK, Thanks. I guess I now have three options: - Buy a bigger tank, cycle it ant put the fish in. - Buy an additional filter for the current tank - Return some of the fish One of the newer LFS has told me I can take a few of the fish in and swap them. Was thinking of taking of taking 4...

Right then. Couldn't get the API kit the LFS didn't have one. Instead got a nutrafin kit and the readings are as follows: Amonia 0 mg/l Nitrite no2 0.3mg/l Nitrate no3 110 mg/l PH 8 Sick Molly is still alive and back to swimming horizontally and all the others are still alive. I've got some...

Going to see about a test kit at the LFS at lunchtime today. Will post the results as soon as possible. She is back swimming horizontally this morning but not moving normally. One of the male mollies (a black one) looks thin. The poo is normally long and quite thick (i.e. looks normal) but...

Thanks for your help. There were no obvious exposed wounds just looked like burgundy spots over her body (she was yellow). The tetras have been in there for a couple of months and there have been no problems. The only recent addition was the shrimps. I did a 50% water change about 2 hours...

Don't think she is the parent to the fry but she may have had some recently. I'm not used to spotting when they are about to drop yet. It does look like the whole rear end is moving rather than the tail. The one that dies on Monday appeared to have brusing on her body. Thanks for your...

Hi All I have lost of a couple of mollies in the last couple of weeks including one on Monday. Now one of my female mollies is swimming vertically in the tank. It is a 75 litre tank set at 24 degrees. Unfortunately I bought test strips that do not measure amonia so I can't tell you what that...

Hi All I have a 75 litre tank with filtration built into the hood. Its been running since July and has live plants. Current stock is a Mollies, platies, Pristella Tetra and glow light tetra. Question is would I be OK putting any shrimp in with these? Thanks Chris

I had the same problem with my molly fry. They were in the hatching / brreding tank which was in the main tank and started dying. I lost 2 in one day. I decided that I would release them back into the main tank. 4 of them were about a month old and 5 of them about 2 weeks. I have 3 of the...

As I kind of expected none of the original fry made it except the one that I found in the main tank a week or so after the others (he had since been released back into the tank). However was looking for one of my missing tetra's last night when I spotted 2 little ones in the now real plants...

I think so. The dalmation molly I got at the same time looks a lot smaller now. There are still a few of the fry about hiding away.

Only 5 left now, the others have gradually died off :(. The remainder look healthy though :). But I think one of the other mollies has dropped in the main tank as there seem to be a lot of fry hiding in the plastic plants and ornaments last night.

Yes, same thing I think?

Thanks all for the responses. Should I feed the dead ones to the rest of the fish or dispose of them? Hopefully next time i'll know she is ready and trap her earlier. Only other problem is that the fry were to big to drop through the slot in the hatchery. They got caught by their heads.

Hi All First timer posting as I have managed to trap my first molly fry. They are in the hatchery at the moment. I only bought the mother yesterday and the lady at the LFS said she suspected that one of them was pregnant. Got them home and gradually put them in the tank. 3 hours later I...
