take a stroll to the lfs, and tell them the problem. i know at my lfs there are tablets that work wonders with all sort of stuff lke that, and they are HARMLESS to fish, i know from my own personal experiences. :kana:

I have changed from a community tank to a cichlid/oscar tank. I currently have: 2 tiger oscars (1 normal, 1 albino) 1 large albino tiger oscar 2 columbian sharks 1 pictus catfish 1 large plecostomus 3 little tiny convicts 2 electric yellow (kinda small/mediun) 1 electric blue (super bit*#) 5...

Since i am only 17 years old, am living off of a 40$/week budget from parents, money is definately an issue. I don't also think that mother would alow a larger tank, other than the 1.17 since i allready have a 33 with cichlids, oscars.

Thanks, is there any chance that the guppies would breed in such a size of a tank. I was also recommended by our LFS to cut the top off of a water jug (5 gal) and cycle it, throw gravel, filter, heater, and alot of plants in it. Then the guppies would breed like wild fire. Would this work? I...

I have purchased a tank for breeding guppies. The tank is only 1.17 us gal. (insert critisism here). The only purpose for them is to breed and get eaten. I have a heater, filter, and everything. The water i used is from my 33 gal tank. Doing this, i thought i could outsmart nature and avoid...

I put all my bigger guppies (5) in the pen plax breeding trap in the 33 gal. a few hours ago. I just lost another guppy. What aren't i doing/doing wrong?!?!!?!? HELP someone actually reply, don't just read this! Guppies are Dieing!

I also did a water change earlier today, before i had instaled the heater. I am trying to watch the heater very carefully since it is obviously very powerful for a tank this size.

I've had the same problem. With a clown loach. I have a funny feeling the tiger barbs enjoyed his loss.

That sounds as if the two platies are matting. At times, fish get very aggressive if they are mating. Look at the Cichlid!!!

It is hard to say. Since I'm not there with you I don't see the full view. I would recommend you attempt to get some babies out of her. Pregnancy is VERY stressful for a fish, and as such is a leading cause of natural deaths. Maybe try to increase airation as well. Are theire other fish in...

I wouldn't really panic about it. Just provide a nice supply of airation. That should be good enough. If you had some nutrafin cycle i would add a dose of that in (it adds good bacteria). Just get another filter as soon as you can. Perhaps afterwards you could even do a SMALL (10%).

The temperature difference isnt that great. The smaller tank is at around 78 and the larger at 82. I have been using my nearby halogen light as a heat souce for the 1.17 gal. I managed to get ahold of a small heater used for a 10 gal tank, and i have it on low power, so the temperature is...

I do have a 33gal tank with Chiclids and Oscars. I could seperate my adult guppies using my pen plax breeding trap. Would the sudden change from no heater to a heated tank be shocking for them? I am noticing that the fry aren't eating as much as they should. Could this just be normal. The...

Sorry, I know that sounded newbish of me. I did add some gravel from my other tank, as well as all the water and some filter media too, forgot to add that in. Anything else. My water test kit is currently at a friends house, get it back later today. The thing I don't understand is how the...

SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME DONT JUST READ IT, REPLY TO IT TOO, I NEED HELP FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have now noticed that when i attempt to feed the guppies/fry they don't eat the flakes, even if they are crushed or not! I just got the fish less than 20 hrs ago, so the fact that they haven't eaten shouldn't be the cause of death. I also just put a dose of nutrafin cycle in my 1.17 gal...

[SIZE=7]Help fast! I just bought 10 guppies (5 male 5 female) from the LFS. I set up a new aquarium (1.17 gal) and supplied it with a submergable filter, and a large plant to provide cover for the babies. I have thus far lost 6 of my adult fish, yet there are babies in my small tank. I...
