Hey, I saw a tiny little thing in my aquarium today. my platy is about to give birth so i thought it could be a baby fish but i then i started to worry. I just turned the aquarium light on and there it was. Tiny. Black head and almost translucent body. Looked like a fish and it was at the top...

Thanks for your replies. I will do this tonight i think, then its ready for her. not sure when to put her in without stressing her though any ideas? i'm new to breeding. Sorry.

Is that alright then?? I meant like a 2L coke bottle type size. just until they grow big enough to face the other fish without being eaten .

Hello, I have a fish tank with 2 platys and 3 danios. I have an issue. i believe one of the platys is pregnant (only have one female.) How could i make a home made fry trap for them to grow in for a while? i was thinking of one of those plastic bottle ones? Could they grow in the trap...

I have a paradise fish, platys and danios. Wondering if i remove the outer skin - could i feed them dried apricots --> could you let me know ASAP. x

But if its from dirty water then surely my danio would have it? They are both common diseases in these fish so surely the danio would have dropsy aswell? no

so you killed him? How did that work? You put some water in the freezer until partially frozen and then put him in it and he died?? Is the fish in pain with dropsy?

i dont think he has dropsy - just incase any of my fish do i know what to look out for. Just reading up abit thats all. Well, he's kinda just plump. eyes arent sticking out and he's not pineconee :P Whitedevil - yeah!! lmao

Hey, I was wondering the other day if my dwarf gourami had dropsy because he is kinds plump but then i was wondering if it was just him becoming his full grown shape. I found something that said they thrash as they die from dropsy? What is this 'thrashing?'

Thats nice to know :) Thanks for the advice x

mgamer - thanks for the quick reply. Thats okay :)

Looks Like No-one Mate

bs6749 - so they wont breed below sort of 60 degrees celcius? or farenheit? I WASNT wanting to breed really. By them moving more slow, this isnt harming them in any way or stressing them in any way is it? Getting some tomorrow i think :)

Thanks for all the advice, I do belive the tank is big enough for them but as they grow they will need to be rehomed to another tank, Biorbs are reccommended only for small fish and for fish that arent going to produce alot of waste. I will see what i'm going to do. :)

I go there because you can get good brands so much cheaper than at pets @ home for e.g - pedigree dog food 6 cans for my dog, £8.00 at pets at home. £3.40 at this shop. Its called 'Pet Express' and its just a small business. They are ordering in some for me, They sell fish but they can order...
