I cycled with my existing fish with terrible consequences. Four fish got severely sick and died. One pregnant guppy managed to have 3 fry before passing though. I had no other choice since my previous tank was occupied by fry. After the deaths, I did a water change and added some cycle...

how many fry do you have? I've had "pregnant" mollies before but missed the birth and fry were eaten! :cry:

Then give it some more time. I made the mistake of transferring my guppy fry back in the community tank too soon. As soon as I put the first one in, the mother charged for him. Luckily I noticed then and decided to wait longer. They are only 4 weeks old and will probably be another 3-4 weeks...

I just recently bought the 12 gal Eclipse and think it looks awesome. It's too early to tell on maintenance as I've only had mine for about 1 week. If you haven't bought yours already, try http://www.drsfostersmith.com. I found it costs $18 cheaper (including shipping) than any retail stores...

Thank You Menagerie. I'm glad to have joined AA ... lol. Yes, I am vaccuuming the gravel, of which I change about 25% of the water at a time. The tank has gravel, three fake plants, a decorative fake rock and filtered with an undergravel system. The temp is 74F and the light is on for about...

Hi everyone - this is my first ever post. This site is so informative - thank you!!!! Here's my situation ... I've had a 5 gallon tank with 4 guppies (2f and 2m). About 5 weeks ago, I bought a pair of platies (mickey mouse). Two days later, the male platy had died. About 2 weeks later, my...
