Top one is a male. I'm not sure on the bottom one. Females will have a fan shaped anal fin, while males have a rod shaped anal fin.

Some of the older fry are near 2 inches now, most are around 1 inch long. I found 2 that are the normal dark coloration. It's hard to spot them on the black sand as they blend in.

Just an update on my Bristlenose hatches. Two more hatches have happened in the same tank so there are fry of all sizes/ages in here. The babies are growing up so fast:) One of the possible dad's as he always has eggs in his cave, I love his long bristles!

Ghost shrimp young float in the water column when first hatched, so if there are fish in the tank, the young will not make it long enough to hide.

Thanks for the info! I'm still reading through your thread and I love it. I need a building like yours:D After seeing the way you built your racks I am considering doing mine similarly. Seems more cost effective, but the blocks take up room in my smaller building.

I picked up four young koi angels last week from a local breeder. So far I love them! I could only get 3 in the photo, Just a short vid to show all 4:

Yes that's how I wanted it, 2x4s running the tall way. Never tried to make a shelf like this so I can use all the help I can get.

I am planning to build a shelf for 10 of my 10 gallon aquariums, 5 on the bottom shelf and 5 on top turned sideways to make them fit. Wood being used would be 2x4s. The planned dimensions would be 5ft. long X 2ft. wide X 54in. tall. Would I need to add a board in the center of the shelf for...

Hi, they can not breed together as Mollies are of the genus Poecilia, and Platies are Xiphophorus. Mollies can breed with Guppies, and Platies can breed with Swordtails. Your platy does look gravid. Many livebearers, including Platies, can store sperm from the males for later use, like when a...

My 20g long Blue Dream Shrimp Tank: Its time to trim the plants again.

Thank you for your help:)

I bought some kanamycin powder from ebay but it came with no dosing instructions. Anyone know how much to use in a 20 gallon aquarium?

Possibly Black Neon Tetras

I've used hydrogen peroxide to get rid of blue green algae, but I've never tried it in a shrimp tank.
