If a platy is going to have babies, she want have the gravid spot like a guppy does?

we also used the melfex, it didn't work good or fast enough...get that binnox it really does work.

Walmart has one filter for all those tanks. I know that if u see one tank that has sick fish in it, that same water is cycled through all the other tanks putting the same illness in all tanks. If I wanted any new fish I had to go to wal-mart or petsmart, one was as bad as the other. I would...

My friend and I both had severe fin rot in our tanks, we could not get rid of it for nothing...due to taking dead fish back to lps and getting new ones. tryed all kinds of meds...until I came to something online, were they had the same problem...Binnox is what was used.....now that really works...

I love both, but if I had to choose...Guppy's is what i would get. But in a 10 gal... u wanting babies?

I have molly fry, from a white sail fin molly, I was amazed at the comment from earlier, about selling them as feeder fish.... I would never think of doing that to my fry....I can't even imagine anyone doing that.

Ich is small, salt like grandulers on ur fishes body...the white cottony stuff is a fungus... 2 different illness 2 different cures.

No they are in the tank...They will swim on their backs to get to the bottom of the net.

I have been told 2 different things on that, some say yes some say no. But I am not willing to take the chance, so I keep my fry in a breeder net.

OK...I have never seen them eat it...like I said in the reply...I just know it is clean of any "poo" So I think they do...But I could be wrong...

If I raise the water temp. could that help her have the babies?

I guess so...that and any food left on the bottom...I have seen them clean the bottom of the net. as for "poo" on the bottom of the net, there is none there. So u can come up with ur own conculsions...lol :dunno:

I have a elbino cat fish that will clean the bottom of the net for me.

I have molly's, platy's and guppy's...but I had sailfin molly fry first....4 female platy's, one male platy...no babies...I might be having a guppy cross platy, my guppy is trying his best... wish him luck, I would to the mix... fancy tailed guppy and a sunset platy...hmmmm what would I call it?

I did the samething, bought a new fish and when i put in my tank, i just knew it was gonna die. But it took about 2 days and now they are happy and doing great...so if i don't see no signs of illness i chalk it off to shyness.

I know I had sail fin molly that gave birth, a nice sice fish...my guppy had her fry too...my molly fry are larger than the guppy fry.

I have 11 molly fry, 2 weeks old....I have a 29 gal, and a 35 gal tank. I had a pregant guppy in the 29 gal alone...and 11 molly fry in a breeders net. I took all my fry out and put them in the 29 gal, and put my guppy in the net, the babies r in there alone...I had to cut my filter all the way...

I have seen her roll on the rocks once or twice. Yesterday I also seen clear poop coming out her anal tube. What does close mean exacally? cause 10 min is close...1 day is not. She is the only fish in that tank. will the gravid spot still be blk at all times? I know that sometimes during the day...
