Hello there, :huh: I am also sorry for your loss. If you are going to make this a hobby, and you want to provide the best care of those fish you really need to get a complete test kit, I am not sure that the test strips really get the best results, or if you absolutely cant then have the lfs...

They are very aggressive when feeding, and when it comes to speed that is usually how it ends up hurting something, they are very fast. Here in the states, nursing homes, dentists offices, and group homes often have big fish tanks too, maybe your lfs cleans or maintains some of those tanks so...

:kana: WELL, Guess what? You are not alone, except I went ahead and bought FIVE of them when they were little tiny pretty silver babies and the lfs said oh they will beee perrrr fect with your parrots. YA RIGHT well then i found out about the 13" thing. So far they are doing very well. They are...

it sounds like the beginning of ich, they will often try to flick or scrape themselves about on rocks or deco. They could have come home sick from the fish store. There are some medication treatments for ich if that is what it is. a natural aid that i have seen used with or without medication...

Hi there, This sometimes happens. Mollies have ferocious appetites. Somtimes they eat like pigs and get constipated. Do you give them any fresh foods? A good thing is if you take frozen peas and cook them in a bit of hot water. let them cool and peel them and squish the pea insides into the...

Again I am too sorry for your loss. This does sound like possibly a poisoning. Is there anything you can think of that would have been introduced to your tank. The chemicals from your testing kit? Dirty hands? Artificial fingernails? Has anyone else had there hands in your tank. I know that...

Hi there, :( I am also very sorry for your losses, I will read your fish emergency posts too, to see if there is anything I can do to help. There are alot of things to look at and ask when a person starts a new tank, a lot of the fish I saw looked like fish for an experienced keeper? I have...

I cant believe that kind of situation. Why do they get into the business anyway? Oh ya MONEY. I agree with an earlier post, when you mess with animals you mess with me! We have a chain store throughout the U.S. that has a routine of putting in several fish tanks and the "holding cells" :-( for...

Hello, I use breeding traps frequently. You dont want to have the mothers in there very long. Like they said sometimes the fry can swim back up and get eaten. Also the moms can get very stressed. In that particular trap i think that you can take the divider out of the center and make it a...

Hi there, Do you currently have these guppies in a jar and are changing their water with the water from your big tank? Where is the breeder trap. What is your setup like? More details, and we could help you mmore? If you are going to keep livebearers then you need to get started the correct way...

What all have you added to your tank so far? Like chemicals, conditioners, etc. And did you rinse your plants and ornaments in really hot water? or did you use something on them? Angel

Hi there, I think I am getting in late on this, not sure, I am new to this forum. The Stress Coat will neutralize your heavy metals and chloramine and remove the chlorine from the water. I am not sure of the conversion but i use 1 tsp to 10 gallon as recommended. I am concerned with the...

Mine came from overfeeding. I was alternating tubifex and bloodworms. They didnt like the tubifex. 20-25% is correct. Angel

;) I definitely agree! Clown loaches or corys so they can play! Angel

Hello Stormlord, I agree with the Angelfish someday soon needing a taller tank to grow properly. As far as help with your filters, I would say that it is your pleco doing the most waste in the aquarium! I have been there! Also, you mentioned about changing your filters more. Sometimes you are...

:D Hi there, my two cents worth says to give a big beautiful male a home in that, and i agree on a pair of small corys! Have fun!! Angel

Hi there, I have had these thread worms before! They are tiny and white. This also was after I was feeding them their flake food, and frozen bloodworms. I believe they come from overfeeding. You may want to look to see closely if they are eating everything. and do regular water changes to help...

I think I am going to have fun here!!! looks like heather sweetness in the message is having a monday like me from her graphics!!! hee hee. thanks all for the welcome Angel

I dont recommend using the chemicals either. The lettuce leaf is a great idea! But instead of pitching them in the trash, take the lettuce leaf and the snails, and put into Ziploc with a moist papertowel, then take them down to your local fish store. They usually have plenty of places for them...

Just for information sake, I have Dalmatian Mollies that have reached 4". They are eaters and good swimmers! :kana:

I have some younger Mollies in a 10 gallon breeder. My last batch they had 73 at last count. Make sure you have it well planted and good filtration and read what you can on breeding mollies. Also, when mine get old enough to be on their own, I move them to a larger grow out tank. Angel

:hey: Hello All, I am new to this forum, and hope to keep learning. I have 10 tanks right now. Mostly all community fish. Dalmatian Mollies are my favorite, but have several different kinds, even fantail goldfish tank too! This looks like a very nice place to be, will tell more as I get the...
