That's great news!

Mollies are certainly active fish and that behaviour does not sound normal, I wouldn't buy more mollies from that lfs or at least not from that batch of mollies.

Great work!

I'm not sure but I'm interested to know the answer.

I'm no expert but to me it looks like some kind of fungus. Is it possible you may be over feeding your fish?

That's awesome, it's such a great experience. I love platys and mine have been breeding for years :) Let me know if you have questions about them.

Did you soak or boil the drift wood before using it in your tank? If not tannins might be coming from the wood which will cause the water to look yellow/brown. It is not harmful to your fish. If the water isn't yellow/brown, it's most likely a bacterial bloom just as armymp327 said earlier...

Hi welcome to AA! I'm not very familiar with some of the fish you have and I can't help much regarding filters so I'll let someone answer those questions. However regarding using aquarium salts, this is something that aquarists are divided on... Here are some of the pros and cons regarding...

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about your clown loaches. The dominant clown loach will often have faded colours (sometimes referred to as 'graying out'), this is generally normal. I'm not sure about the other symptoms you've described and I can't really see them in the photo you've taken. Clown...

Thanks for letting me know, I was actually expecting someone would say I could not feed my fish berries, but that's awesome that they eat raspberries.
