I would open my own LFS so I could educate the local people on proper fish care and be able to provide supplies for the fishy collectors. we have very limited supply of things here, Walmart has more than the LFS.

I have 2 neon tetras 2 glolight tetras and 2 zebra danios in a 10 gallon and they are fine but however the danios are fin nippers, and they aggravate the algea eater until he hates them now, I am cycling him a new home. and daniaos get larger then tetras, so be careful in the ratio of each

How long does it take for my bettas to spawn, my female is looking pretty worn out and is just laying at the bottom she still has fight left in her but she looks horrible.

I just purchased a new male betta last week and he isn't eating, I bought a female at the same time and she is eating. I think he is ok because he is very agressive and is always flaring up at the other males, but is not eating. he is very uniquely colored and I was very lucky to find him, so I...

wow I live in Oklahoma and I have bought several of these critter keepers for $5.00 a piece. I like the ones I have because they have a good size little door in the top that allows me to get in without removing the lid and stuff. My Bettas love them. The ones I have also have a small hole in the...

Everytime I go to feed one of my bettas she will jump in with the male, I moved them to bigger tank she still does it, so I am making a lid I can feed her through without removing. :rolleyes:

Ok I think these tanks are as bad as the local pet stores, I'm sorry but I would have had to take it upon myself to clean those tanks and ad some water at least while I was there. I clean my nieces betta tank everytime I go over my sisters house because my niece is to young and my sister says...

Well the update is I lost both my Black Molly's, on of which I had over a year. I believe that whenI purchased the last one from the pet store is was infected with something, not sure. I am glad however that for the majority of the time the molly's were in the hospital tank, and so far it...

my molly's have been sick :-( , especially skinnie minnie, who had not eaten in 2 weeks prior to her passing at5:30 am she has been suffereing and I know she is better offf now but I am sad. I just narrowed it down to some type of parasite (internal) I believe. Althugh I aam not sure I do think...

I first bought a fire skenk(lizard for my nephew, they held the fish for me until his birthday a couple days during which I searched the internet about care of the lizard, there was a long list of things I needed...

Ironically after reading this my molly is doing the same thing she stays on the bottom by the filter.

not sure about your specific fish but I have a pair of platy's that don't like each other, they have never. I've had them almost a year and the male (dumb) stays with my black molly( big moma) and the female ( dumber) stays with my very big zebra dania ( Convict) I think I have a tank of...
