If I remember correctly, convicts need quite a large tank just for one pair. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure they need a hefty tank.

Thanks guys!

About 3 weeks ago my dwarf platy (bright orange) had 8 fry. When they were born, all were a light orange just like their parents except for one which was a white-ish/clear color similar to a guppy fry. I know for a fact that she only mated with the male dwarf platy and he is also orange. I...

I'm thinking of also adding 1 pleco and maybe some more neon tetras. Maybe some male guppies as well.

Oh yeah I know to definitely do that first.

Hello! A local aquarium store is going out of business and they are giving me one of their 50gal tanks for $50! I have all of the equipment for it so all I will need is some lovely inhabitants. I have some ideas of what I'd like to stock it with and not all of these will be purchased at the same...

My silver sailfin mollies breed like crazy and have roughly 10-20 fry at a time. Usually about 5-8 survive and the adults actually don't eat them. They have multiplied so much from the time I got them that I've had to get another tank. It's crazy! There are soooo many of them! My 3 dwarf platys...

Several months ago I got 2 female silver sailfin mollies. I already had a male fancy tail guppy in the tank when they were introduced. I also that the guppy was constantly chasing them around and getting quite "friendly" with them. Eventually both mollies each had fry. Fast forward to...

I have 3 gold dust mollies (2 females 1 male) and i have been trying to breed them for a while. I got 5 fry over quite a long period of time and was hoping for more. One females would always have stillborns or ones that would die a couple days later and the other would gobble her fry up before I...

Congrats! I do not need anymore guppy fry. I am swamped with them! I just put 5 young guppies back in the main tank (they were bigger and getting color) and 1 young gold dust molly in. My nursery tank has about 40 or so fry....only 4 are mollies. I also have a pregnant molly ready to drop any...

Here are the pics! yay! Please let me know what you think! Btw...I have 4 fish that now look like the last 2 pictures on here.

Ugh...the pics didn't work. How do you guys post your pics? Thanks in advance!

Ok so here are two of my guppy fry that aren't so little anymore. I asked in another post if the first ones way a double swordtail guppy but I had no pics to show....so what do you guys think???

Haha when my first batch of fry came around (3 unexpected little guys) I was going nuts! I still get really excited when they have them...I even got to see one actually giving birth! Gotta love nature!

Sigh...All of the 3 fry died last night. They were premature so I didn't think they would live long (although I had premature guppy fry that ended up doing well in the past). I guess that's how nature works. Now I will just have to wait until the next drop and hope some survive. For now I'll...
