I do have a fry tank and as the fry get big enough I give them away. The danios are my original fish from when cycling my tank... They sure are harty fish and have outlived most of my fish. I just put 2 small plants in today and will see how that goes. I will continue to check water parameters...

Its not a new tank for sure... I've had it set up for several months and i had slowly added fish. I got the mollys because the person at the fish store said they would do fine in a 10 gal tank. But they picked on my guppies too much so I gave them to my mom who has a 55 gal community tank. I...

The mollys went to my mother's 55 gallon tank. Not at my house. I don't have live plants because I have snails. Would live plants still be ok with them? I thought I heard that snails will eat them. Should I do all the water changes today until the ammonia gets to zero? Or over a few days?

It is a 10 gallon tank. Has been setup for a few months. I have 1 male beta. And I have several guppies. Probably 7 females and 4 males. And 2 zebra danios. This morning when I fed them those were the only 2 fish that were not happy. When I just went back to check on them about an hour ago 1...

2 days ago one of my male guppys died. I figured it was because I had a couple mollys in the tank that had been nipping his fins. Most of the center of his tail fin was missing. I move the mollys as soon as i knew they were nipping the guppys fins. After i moved the mollys all of my guppys...

Thank you for all of your help! You have saved my fishies!!

I don't live in the house. They had mentioned it to me when i was there yesterday. I checked the parameters and everything was fine, ph was a little low but not much. They said some of the fish had like white slime on and hanging off of them. Last fish death was Friday. No one has died since...

Still need help please

Ick is cleared. I still have another week with the temp up

My dads tank was mostly wiped out in a couple days, only neons and one barb left. I think its mostly cleared now but what are on the tetras mouths? There are only two that seem to have it and it looks like a little white ball on their lower mouth. These are the best pictures i could get

Molly's and most live breeders will eat their fry as well as any other fish too. When they start to look a little squared off I generally will put the mommy fish in the breeder box so the babies can drop below her and free of her eatting them unless they swim back up. If she is too stressed I've...

I don't have any live plants because I have snails. Also no corys but was thinking about getting one before my ick outbreak. The spots are almost gone on my Molly and I still don't see any on my other fish. I just found some "lifeguard" tablets that I could use. It says it will clear ick and...

Ok, thanks for all the great advice! How often do i add the aquarium salt? Or do i just do it once? Does it matter that i use salt when i add or do water changes?

I have a Molly that has ick. He's currently in quarantine. What is the best and fastest way to cure him? I don't see spots on anyone else. How soon would they show on other fish?

I have guppy fry. I used to have 2 small mollys in there that grew to big for that tank so i moved them to the 10 gal tank and decided to make my small tank for fry. I may have molly fry sometime soon too :-)
