This is the fish we were told to get at two different lfs-both who are very qualified and know their stuff. I know she is stressed, I am asking if there is anyway to help her with the pregnancy at all, or if I can move her to a separate tank or something-will that stress her more?

So everything in my tank has been going pretty well for a bit. I have 2 platys, (actually 3-one fry), 1 guppy, 4 cardinal tetras and a bristlenose catfish in a 24 litre tank. Both platys are pregnant and a week or so now I noticed the white spot taht they are supposed to get when they are...

How much light should my tank be getting? I have read in places that it should be for around 8 hours a day however i have two pregnant platys and was wondering if the light should be on less?

All the fish came from the same place, except the first platy. one platy was introduced (with another platy) and then a gourami a week later-but the gourami was crazy-stressed the platy and then when she was sick started to eat her-the platy died and we returned the gourami so with one platy...

One of our guppies died today :(. Pretty sure it was from ammonia poisoning due to the red gills. As soon as we noticed we went out and bought stuff for it, but when we got back it had died. We had him for 5 days and he was really healthy up until this afternoon. Is there any reason why...

also what will happen if we don't do anything else to treat it? Will the parasite spread? I want to treat it with salt but don't want to kill the plants in the tank, or move the fish for a dip as she is pregnant and I don't want to stress her. Will a few more days hurt?

we did a quarter water change yesterday and today the thing doesn't seem to be as big, it looked like it was falling off. Does this happen with parasites?

Thanks heaps

Here are the pictures...the best I could get Another

Thanks Can I over-feed them though? Like if i feed them, and they still eat it, are they eating because they are hungry or because it is there? Will they stop eating if they have had enough?

How do I do a salt bath?

Hi, I have approx 24 litre tank with 2 platys, 2 guppies, 4 cardinal tetras, one bristle-nose catfish and a little baby fry. They get fed flake twice a day, some days a cube of bloodworms instead of. However they always look hungry. Even when there was one platy she always wanted to eat, as...

How do I do a salt bath, and does it hurt unborn fry? Or even live fry for that mater as i just discovered a baby hiding in the plants today. I will do a quarter water change soon and again and post pics up asap, prob not for a few hours yet. I wont do anything else until then Thanks for your...

It does not sound like an anchor worm, and the fish is not rubbing or scraping against anything

I have just been looking up Ambiphrya and I think it could be it. However I could not find much information on it or any pictures of it on fish. The fish isn't showing any of the signs menioned, other than it looks like a skin scraping. The cause of it, decaying plant, seems a bit odd as we...

None of those signs and the tube end looks hollow. As I said she is acting normal and looks very healthy. If I had to pick a picture I would say the first one but unless the things coming out of it are really small, they aren't there Like I said, I'll post a pic as soon as I can

Do you have water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph. Is it possible to load a pic up of the sick fish. Any cotton wool on the mouth. Is the mouth swelled up or rotting away. We consulted a few different fish places before we put them in, and that's what was recommended. We even...

Tank size: approximately 20 litres pH: neutral tank temp: 25 degrees celsius My platy has been in the tank for over a month now and looks really healthy. She is swimming fine and will probably be giving birth any day now. However, today i noticed a growth just under her mouth, which looks like...
