I think this may have been the problem. In the end, every fish I had in there died with exception to the otos. Almost 2 weeks later, they're still doing fine, all 3 of them. Could the algae have killed them?

thanks

????I moved him and the molly to the 30 gallon.. We'll see if they get through the night. The otos are still in the 10 gallon. They seem ok right now. What's wrong with the 10 gallon.. Is it the algae??????????????????? Anybody out there?

I had a very healthy 10 gallon tank with 3 platies and an oto not long ago if you remember? Well now I've had a couple platies die off and I've got one right now I just got video of. I know he's dying and I cant do anything. I don't know why he is?? There's red brown algae on the fake plants...

For the few that were interested. I just finished it and I have to turn it in tomorrow. I'm sure there are a few errors in there but I don't care, I spent the last 5 and half hours working on it. :P And for the picky, the wierd format was the teacher's idea.. and this is a highschool paper so...

got the smaller version of it at petsmart for my tank as well ;)

was thinking about doing that because the incondesencts dont light the tank for crap the florescent hood is like 30 dollars.. :X might head out tonight and ill see if i can talk myself into buying it

I bought a 5-15 Tetra Whisper Heater for my 10 gallon tank because in the morning after the light behing off all night it would be close to 70 degrees and by afternoon, with the incondesent lights, it would be up to 75. I put the heater in on the default setting, which according to the manual...

I've been waiting for this one to come up..its my research project for school Fish remember more than we think A psychologist from the University of Plymouth has exploded the myth that fish have a three-second memory and are much more sentient and intelligent than had generally been...

I had one platty that did that but I have plenty of hiding places and they got over it.

mine do the same thing...but they let me know where theyre hungry because they wont come down from the top :fun:

haha darn..i think I have three males..what luck :S if i got a female now they'd be all over her :/

some friends :lol:

I've got 3 platties and I want to know if they're male or female. How do I tell? Pictures would be helpful if anybody as any?

no offense but he sounds like an ass, and a dumb one at that....he know where the couch is? :lol:

what exactly does it mean though, just that it's been up for a while.. are there any actual chemical changes in the tank afters its been up for a while

I've heard some refer to a Mature tank. Now I know my 29 gallon was cloudy for a little while(week or 2 after) even though I used bio spira. I used bio spira in this last one and I'm noticing a bit of clouding now. I also have questions about this whisper 5-15 filter I've got on there, but I'll...

im curious about this because ive have a 10 gallon that i have some platty in and they are the only fish in there other then some otos will they be ok or will the plattys eat their own

cool tank..what kind of filters do you have?

who wants to go fishing :lol: j/k nice tank though..must be a pretty expensive to feed all those huge fish

haha i didn't think about it when i did it because its a still camera that takes short videos..had to get the whole tank in the shot :P besides it's more of an adventure when you turn your head..really makes you part of the video :D

did you know notice how crystal clear the water is :P

you're only like the 50th person to tell me that i bought them over year and a half ago when i didn't know any better..not the 2 small balas just the big guy..thanks i love my plec..haha he soo cool

thanks for all the replies 0 for 34..awesome :lol: can anybody tell what the gender is of the platties?

argh i want more tanks now :lol:

Ok this first video is one my 29gallon tank. You'll notice the big bala hates the camera, it always make him nervous. The others don't seem to mind, :lol: but anytime I even walk by the tank the big guy goes into pacing mode and starts hiding behind the plants. :rolleyes: Slugo, the pleco, is...
