Yes they are egglayers- although the whole breeding/ spawning process took place under my very oblivious eyes- I came home Saturday night- two weeks ago and there were what seemed to be 40 hair-like fish swimming at the top of the tank! By now there is around 10-15. Will see how many survive to...

My White cloud Minnow and her babies!! Was annoyed that what i thought was two males is actually a male and female- but these babies are so darn cute- I can't help but be delighted by them!!

Hi- When i went to the pet shop i specifically said that i dont want to have to take care of baby fish- They gave me a few fish and due to many first timer mistakes- i am left with two- white cloud mountain minnows- This morning there is a surprise in the tank!- What first looked like tiny...

Hi I have a artificial plastic plant in my aquarium and lately a slimy brown thing has been growing on it. No idea what it is, if its a problem and what to do about it!! attached a picture.

After some deliberation- I think I'm gonna take the Platys back tomorrow- (If I can get a minute!) once I get them back will see what to do with the Minnows. Thanks for your help!

Two days- And I already feel like they are my little babies- I actually called home today while working to hear if they are ok!!:) Will see how returns work with the store I used. Is it really impossible for me to keep the fish I have in my tank right now- Will they definitely be unhappy?

Thanks= I did a 50% water change- waited and the levels dropped- not completely ) but looks less than .25 I don't know if my LFS will take them back. Do most stores have such a light return policy? The Minnows- are the smallest of all my fish- they are barely an inch and maybe 1/6 of an inch...

Ok. I got the testing kit. I posted the results because Im not completely sure if it means .25 or 1.5 Can anyone help me determine that? Either or- its too high- Do I need to remove the fish and introduce an ammonia source or is there another way- which will work and not harm the fish...

Hi- Got home a couple of minutes ago. Changed 40 percent of the water and fish definitely perked up. Will get a testing kit when I pass the pet store when I go for my run later on today. Hope I can fix this.

Thanks. Do you think the tank is too small for any of them, or both together? If I remove the Platy and leave the Minnow will that be ok? I really want more than just one fish- and can't work out a bigger tank right now.

opps. :( Will get a testing kit and will touch back tomorrow with the results! thanks so much
