she died :(

So, My molly gave birth on 8th august and then again on 8th September, as far as I’m aware, they all survived. My molly is usually very excitable and comes to the front of the tank all the time and actively swimming. To my surprise when I went up to the tank last night she was nowhere to be...

the tank is a mature tank about 8 months and had the neons about 5months i think. He is still eating and swimming with the others, but he doesnt look well. I have ordered another aquarium and got some Tetra Medica Fungistop just in case. If i were to transfer him into the new aquarium, keeping...

I assume I have one ill neon tetra, I have 7 altogether and 2 cardinals. His symptoms include bloating, bulging eyes, rapid breathing and today have noticed his scales have the appearance of being furry / flakey or peeling. He's been hiding under driftwood for a while but is swimming with the...

Fry are doing well in the main tank all are alive still! They love their food just like their mum. They started off staying at the top of the tank but now have ventured out in all levels of the tank :) I can even notice some of them getting bigger and its only been 4 days!

Thanks, I thinki will leave them in there for the time being, i dont think any of the other fish have eaten any, they have a bit of a chase but thats it. Only problem is is that I am due a water change and fear that doing one will be harmful to the fry or suck them up with the gravel cleaner -_-...

She's finally dropped! there's about 40 odd i think! She had them overnight and in the main tank and the clever little fry managed to get themselves into the hatchery or just above it! Some are a bit advernturous and swimming out on their own. Should i try to put them all in the hatchery or just...

she doesnt want to let go of her fry! she's looking extremely square now!

ahhh, yes mine does look a bit like a pirate bless him, his name was flash but it might have to be changed to jack sparrow now lol Thanks for puttin my mind at rest :)

Theyve been in there for 5months or so, and only noticed today that it has an empty eye socket so muct have happened recently/overnight. maybe it is one of those things and I'll monitor him closely. I just gave them a feed and he managed to find a few bits but swam in circles a bit before, but i...

I have just noticed that one of my 7 neon tetras has an eye missing. he seems to be swimming still if a bit slanted and eating but doesnt looked as bright as the others. I also have in the tank 3 clown loaches, 2 cardinal tetras, 3 mollies and a sucker fish. All have got on fine, sometimes the...

This is one active molly! She seems to get excited everytime someone walks up to the tank, really lovely I just wish she'd give birth now! New pics arent great because she's moves before the photo is taken but here is an update :) and another...

Still no sign of her babies! I think my black mollie is pregnant as well now too!

thank you, so she may have some time to go, I guess I will just have to put this first time down to experience and keep a close eye on her to see the changes. Thank you very much for all your help :) I've read your post and I found it very informative

Really useful information, scares me a little because I know I'm going to get too attached when my mollie eventually has her fry and wont want to give them away! I deff dont want them to be eaten either :( Is it okay to keep just 1 male on its own with other breeds of fish? I have 1 male...

Just to show you progress: Any closer to putting her in the hatchery yet do you think? shall i leave it for another day or so? she's still rather active and excitable. Thanks

Thanks for your help thats really useful information, she seems to be getting squarer now too so i'm keeping a close eye on her Another thing, when would be the best time to put her in the hatchery? I dont want to put her in there too soon as I've heard she can have them prematurely? And...

ah thank you for confirming! How exciting, i'm paranoid she is going to have them when I'm not there or ready. she seems to be gettin bigger by the minute. The male i have wont leave her alone and keeps shimmering up against her bump, is this anything to be concerned about or is he trying to...

Hi, I need another opinion on whether my molly is pregnant! I am new to keeping mollies, and have had these ones for about 2 weeks now. Here's a couple of images to get the idea. I believe she is pregnant, but my dad is telling me she isnt so i'm confused and need help from the experienced...

Hi there, Just to put you in the picture, i had 5 neon tetras and then 3 clown loaches everything was fine so thought I'd add a few more friend and the other day I bought 6 cardinal tetras. Sadly, only after 3 days of purchase one of the cardinal tetras has died :( however I have since...
