    I purchased Mollies from PetSmart, whom recommended they eat Omega One Tropical Flakes. Unfortunately, the fish don’t like it very much. I have taken these flakes since they’re so huge and placed them in a sandwich back to lessen their size and make it easier for both operating filters to...

    One size fits all?!

    I purchased a pregnant Molly from PetSmart and an external handing double nursery. When she delivered I operated backwards and placed the babies in the tank after they were born, they were all dead except one the net AM. Of course, this was probably a result of me changing the water by 30% and...

    Uh Oh, I don't know what I'm doing

    This is the third fish to deliver in my tank. I always go into panicked mother mode and start immediately changing 20%-40% of the water and treating it with Tetra 77341 Tetra AquaSafe Fungus Guard Tablets that dissolve like Alka-Seltzer and changes the water green due to the color of the tablet...

    Cloudy with A Chance of Disaster

    Okay, I’m trying to get back in the habit of my hobby after an 8 year hiatus. I have severely forgotten how to maintain a tank and have been taking advice from PetSmart associates and not doing so well. First off, I want to experience breeding variations of Mollies. Possibly an orange cremesicle...

    Uh Oh, I don't know what I'm doing

    I read FAQs on fishless cycling and never heard of it. PetSmart advised once I purchased the 10g tank to let it run for 15 minutes, sit the fish in the water in their bags for another 15 minutes and release. I haven't done any cycling. Just buying fish and placing them in the tank.

    Uh Oh, I don't know what I'm doing

    I haven't checked the water levels and don't know how or of a product to purchase. I never checked the water levels year ago and my fish did well. Can you recommend some products?

    New Hobby

    Thank you!!! Thank you all for welcoming me, I truly feel welcomed. As I've been reading a 10g is not sufficient for Mollies, especially fertile ones. Sadly, every time I have babies they die because I rush in to change part of the water and start treating it. I have this bacteria pill I...

    Uh Oh, I don't know what I'm doing

    I read a website that specializes in aquarium maintenance & beeding, I tried using their advice and didn't follow to a T. I've had 3 pregnant fish in two weeks, the first was my Dalmation Molly she delivered about 16 fry and every last one of them died after moving them to a bigger aquarium. My...

    New Hobby

    I am Andria and sort of new to becoming an aquarist. I started off with African Dwarf frogs and went back to my love of Mollies, especially to show their lifestyle and livebearing ways to my daughter. I haven't done this in a while. I graduated to a 10G tank about two weeks ago and have...
