Hey there! I've had this tank a couple years. It's a 40 gallon with lava rocks, wood, live plants, sand, and fish (corydoras, otos, dwarf loaches, yoyo loaches, and tetras). All the fish are fine, the plants are generally fine as long as I keep them pruned. The problem is I can never manage the...

If Fish Don't Have Souls, Neither Do We. I love this idea! Here's my story: I've had corydoras for a couple years now, and no two are ever the same type. :fish1: I had an emerald cory that I called "Mama White", because she was the largest of the bunch and seemed to almost be like a mentor or...

It's been a super long time since I've posted a thread. All my fish have been fine until recently. I had a Siamese Algae Eater for a little while. Suddenly he developed a swelling on the left side of his face. It was red and centered just below the eye, causing the eye itself to also be...

Yes, that is exactly[/I][/I] what mollies are like; and no, you can get any color you'd like! :flowers:

Mollies are very easy to breed. :fish2: Most basic fact is getting at least one male and two preferably three females in a tank of 20 gallons or more. What questions did you have? What do you need to know? :flowers:

I am lucky enough to have a pet store that gives me store credit for mine. When she doesn't have room however, Petco takes them as a donation, and when they sell them, the money is donated to help animals in need. :flowers:

Oh yes :thumb: You are correct about the genders, and yes, the black Molly is enjoying himself :cool: If you plan on getting another female, good on you. If not, I would recommend doing so, because you leave dalmatian Molly will get stressed out by him sooner than later. Be prepared for many...

Do the sidthimunki botia loaches eat snails, or just the ones 3" and bigger? :confused:

The only thing that may come up between them is mollies tend to nip at long fins, which as far as I remember angels have. :ermm:

Not the way she is acting. :nono: As cramped as it may be, it would be better for her to be cramped with another female for a month than alone with a male for that time.

That explains it. The males are very stress-inducing to females with their constant need for mating. Usually when getting mollies, you try to get three females for one male, at minimum two females. She is stressed out, and has claimed that corner as her "safe place." Best course is to replace...

Are both of the mollies female?

How many other fish and what kinds do you have in the 29 gallon, Luvr?

I have a forty gallon tank with a pond snail problem. It started with ONE from a live plant I had shipped in and now I'm up to 50+ in only a few weeks! I've been removing them manually, but they repopulate fast due to the algae growth I have. As a natural fix I'm thinking of adding dwarf...

What RetiredJedi says is also correct with mollies. This has happened to me a few times in different ways. When I got my black Molly, he was solid black. Since then he has developed a pretty line of reflective blue along the edge of his back fin. When I had a large group of their babies, they...
