Hi! I have a 20 gallon aquarium and I am looking at starting a community freshwater tank, I am a beginner so I am looking for easy fish. I was looking at Platies and Mollies yesterday, and I thought maybe I could add 4 mollies and 4 platies to my tank. So far that is all I have. I want my tank...

Hey everyone, I have a male/female pair of mollies in my tank, and I'm curious as to how easily they breed. Do they need a breeding process or will they breed on their own? Are there any telltale signs to look out for that shows they'll spawn soon? Also, if they do breed on their own, how will i...

So I got four (4) mollies several weeks ago and added them to my established tank. Cycled tank and no fighting, added some seachem stability and everything went well. My three females are all pregnant, and this leads to question one. 1. Will my male pestering the females hurt them at all or is...

So I currently have only one fish in a 25-30 gallon tank of brackish water. He's a silver Molly with black spots named Rorik, and ever since his mom died, he's been alone. As a social fish, I worry about him, so I've been thinking about getting him a few tank mates. I'm trying to be careful, one...

Most of my goldfish died, leaving two. My family wanted to buy some guppies and mollies because they breed a lot and we like it but my dad wanted koi fish, because he was afraid that the guppy fries would get eaten by the goldfish. Please reply:  Should we buy guppies...

I have an established 30 gallon community tank. Around a few weeks to a month ago I added a couple female dalmatian mollies. One immediately gave birth and the fry are in a small breeder at the top of my tank. A few days ago the one female started swimming oddly and floating at the top of...

Hey everyone! I just thought I'd create a log to show the breeding of mollies and the community interactions in my 20 gallon aquarium.  I recently added 6 silver mollies to the bunch so now the tank is stocked as follows:  1 male skirt tetra, 1 female skirt tetra, 1 bleeding heart tetra, 3...

I have a marble molly who i cant tell the sex. they wee fine earlier today and then i came home and they were laying at the bottom of the tank. I isolated them in a cup and theyre trying to eat but sink everytime they try to swim. What can I do? Im really concerned and dont want to lose them.

i currently have platies and guppies and a couple endlers and also an endler guppy cross i think but anyways im thinking of selling my guppies and getting mollies instead i also want to keep 2 of my current fish one is an endler one is the endler x guppy but everyone else is being sold as a...

To start, my name is Melissa.  I live in Iowa, USA.  I have lots of tanks over the years, my first was when I was 16 and it was a 20 gallon eclipse form Petsmart.  My sister bought it for my as a birthday gift.  For this tank, she bought me 2 black moors and I loved them. I went on spring break...

Hi there guys! I've had these mollies for a little while, and I'm just wondering. Do any of them look like they're squared off? I don't have a lot of hiding places in my tank yet, so I wouln't feel comfortable just letting nature take its course. AND, I have black gravel :/. I have a netted...

Hello everyone i hope i can get some hlpful insight i want to add some new tank mates but first ill give you with what i am working with: 29 gallon (high) cycled freshwater tank with following filtration   top fin 30  micro whisper (5.5g)   and the following fish:   2 emerald cories 1 dalmation...

Hey guys! Just out of curiosity and some fun I was wondering which livebearing fish you like the most! I personally really like the surprise of guppy tail colors, but love the overall look of platy fish. Post your comments below.

i have a 20 gallon fresh water tank and i have quite a few guppies, four corys, an albino pleco, two black mollies, a balloon molly, a platinum lyre-tail molly and her fry, and some cherry shrimp. i just added a dwarf puffer a couple of days ago and i have no had any problems or aggression from...

So I have posted the story before but just a little background.  I bought a new male guppy (who is struggling right now, probably die soon) and he brought worms into my tank.  I thought it was just poop and it was gone the next day (just hidden inside).  Anywho..... my whole tank has been...

Hey all!   I've had aquariums for about 20 years, but this is a new one to me.  One molly was gasping for air for a few weeks and died, and now two more are showing similar symptoms. I've had fish live for up to 11 years, and it's very rare for me to lose any, particularly such a hardy species...

I have fish with camallanus worms.  I want to save them, but I have no idea what to use for medication.  I don't want to have to start my tank over again.  

December 1st 2013   This isn't the first time I have done a journal,  but it is the first time I have typed it.    I have always loved fish! Salt Water is pretty, but what really makes me happy is freshwater.  Although most fish found in fresh water are not bright and colorful, they have a...

i have 2 black mollies (male and female) and all they do is stay at the top of the tank right behind the output of the filter. they only come out when i feed the fish. in my tank i also have 2 columbian sharks but they stay at the bottom and have not made any attempt at attacking the mollies so...

Got a couple of mollies but have no idea if they are going to drop fry. They are very confusing because they look big in the first place. Previous owner said that some may be pregnant. Please help. Any help welcome. I have attached some pics as well. Thanks

Okay, so today the worst case scenario happened in my tank.    I have a half moon red betta that I've had for a while, and after lots of researching I finally decided on getting some mollies.    I got two dalmation mollies and two yellow ones. I placed them in when I knew I wasn't working and...

Hi,   Just joined the forum and thought I would say hi to everyone.   I'm just setting up a small tank and thought I would try a brackish tank with Mollies (Peocilia latipinna or P. sphenops). Looking for advice and other peoples experiences.   K.

Hello all.  This may or may not sound like an emergency, but I've never had this happen.   Heres the back story, you can skip it, but it may help determine whats wrong:   Okay, so I recently got 5 mollies from my LFS and they said they'd be fine in a 10 gallon.  Next day theres 30 fry, and 30...

  Hello,      So I just purchased a 35 gallon tank online and it should be to my house in the next 3-5 days.   I bought it to upgrade my mollies so I can actually let them breed a little.        My question is: can I just put my current mollies and frys (fries, IDK  ) into a bucket of sorts...

Okay, so, Question one: I have 5 mollies and about 30 fry in a 10 gallon tank.  I'm currently looking at my options which look like either a 37 gallon tank, a 35 gallon bow front, a 20 gallon, or *maybe* a 40 gallon.  The most likely are either the 37 or 35 gallon ones because I can get the best...

Hey there, So, to start off, Hello, My name is Fallyn and I'm 15.  I've had fish all my life.  My dad bought me my first 5 gallon tank when I was 5 or 6 and I've loved fish ever since.  I've had guppies, angels, cichlids, barbs, sharks, tetras, betas, a few species from my local lake that are...

Hello! (Main question in bold if you don't want to read the whole back story!)     A quick back story, I purchased a Gold Dust Molly from Petco after my Betta passed away because they said it would be okay in a 2.5 gal filtered tank. (THANKS A LOT, PETCO!) Anyways, one day later she had 14 fry...

Hello all!   I am slowly but surely gaining some experience as a fish enthusiast. Is that what you'd call it? Hahaha!   Anyways, a month ago, my beautiful Gold Dust Molly gave birth to 14 lil fries. This is what momma Buzz looks like:   [sharedmedia=core:attachments:71012]   As the fry have...

I've been given 30 mollie fry by a friend to start up my tropical tank. Their tank is well established and healthy as far as I know and in my tank I previously had large goldfish to run a cycle through. All seem well adjusted after 2 weeks, foraging, growing etc however I have noticed their poop...

Hello hello!   My name is Jessi and I am 24 years old. I live in Florida and am relatively new here to aquarium "life" in a more "dedicated" form of the word!   A little over a year ago I got a little Betta and named him Neil. He had a regular bowl with no filter. After a little while, I got him...

Evening All, I am a newbie here looking for help and saying HEY!    Ok, So a bit about why i'm here ((Yawn))   We set up a tropical tank around 1 month ago made it a peaceful community. Guppies, Mollies etc So feeding time yesterday my other half pops his head over the tank to drop in the food...

A fair few months ago I bought some new mollies, I have three, two mostly black ones and one mostly white one. Everything was fine, and they were very happy swimming all around the tank, eating everything they could find and generally being mollies. But in the last month something seems to have...

I am moving and will not be able to take my tank with me. Here is what I have:   Age and condition: female cherry barbs, healthy Quantity for sale: 2 Reason for Sale: moving, can't take with me Delivery or Collection: Collection Sales price: Free Location: San Jose, CA   Age and condition...

Okay, so I just got 2 mollies from Pet Supplies Plus on Sunday (4/21/13) and they have both died.  One was stuck to the filter and was not right for awhile and died 20 minutes later after I removed him from the filter.  The other one was dead the next morning.  I'm having my water checked but...

I recently got my first tank of "non agressive" tropical fish about a month and a half ago i've been keeping betta fish for years (they are in seperate tanks from the tropicals.), the tank originally had five serape tetras and one halloween neon tetra, since then I've added a few more fish to...

Hi guys, I just set up my tank and got a few fish (don't worry I let it cycle for about a week before adding them) and I noticed when I got my Marble Mollies home that one of them looked quite large. I was in a giddy rush at the store and didn't notice while I was there. After doing...
