One of my 4 tetras has become very skinny. The top of his head looks pinched. Not full like the others. He is swimming fine and i dont see any spots or discoloration on his body. The others that are the same age look plump. Im hoping he is not contagious. I have seen him eat although not as...

Planaria. Sorry for that

I did some research. They are definitly copepods and planera. I am quilty of overfeeding the fry. Read that they require much more than adults. I will clean the tank soon. Now that i have a divider in there the adults should start eating these things. Fry probably have another month till i can...

Have just emptied my fry mesh tank into my 10 gallon with a new divider. Fry getting big. A few hours later i checked on fry and noticed very very small white threads. With a closer look...they are white worms! And while looking around i also found very small creatures similar to tadpols with...

Another question then is when i release them and they mature then will inbreeding be an issue? Im not trying to breed these fish. Just happened. Anything i can do to stop the fish from breeding? I dont know anyone to give these fish to. Dont want to have 100 fish before the year is out. Breaks...

Hello All! I have nearly 2 week old fry. All 6 are doing well. I need to know how old they should be before i add them to the parent tank. I have 3 electric green tetra and 3 glofish( zebra danio). I know they need to be larger than the largest fishes mouth but im still worried about...

Hello all! i have 1 week old glofish fry. 6 of them i managed to save from hungry fish. I have them seperated. I am having a hard time finding info on the net about the development of the fry. How old do they need to be before i can be sure they wont get eaten by the white skirt tetras and...

Ok i got 5 fry seperated in a mesh bowl floating in the tank. Anything else i need to do or know?

Im not going to sell them. My son has a few friends that we can give them to when the fry are big enough. I didnt plan on breeding. It just happened. But for now i can only see 2 at a time. I will work on seperating them. How often do these fish breed anyway?

How do i get the fry in the net or tupperware without hurting them? They are so small and my gravel is black.

I was surprised to discover 3 glofish fry hanging out on a plant this morning. They got lucky cause i was getting ready for a tank cleaning. I had no clue that my glofish layed eggs. I found a lot of eggs stuck to plants as i inspected. I quickly went to the store to buy a mesh plant and fry...

You guys are great! Never going to petsmart for advise again. They just want to sell you a chemical. Thanks again. I will definitly be looking for advise from you guys again

Thanks guys Thanks guys! I will cut the carbon out and use the floss till it falls apart and i just checked the water and the nitrites have not spiked but are still in stress zone. I will do another water change tomorrow. Are too many water changes bad? Is it going to affect the fish or the bb...

Oh wow Ah man! What am i supposed to do in the future? The filter needs to be changed every month and its a carbon filter. Will this happen every month? Should i get some liquid bacteria to supplement? Also i did wash the new filter in the old tank water like a youtube video said to do. And i...

Hi everyone! Just got a 10 gal tank 4 weeks ago. Nitrites and nitrates were great, at 0 until i cleaned the tank. Then wow they jumped into the danger zone. The nitrites are the highest. I have done 2 50% water changes. Now nitrites are in stress zone. I have 4 glofish and 2 glo tetra and one...
