Whoa... Sounds like your all overrun with poop machines ? at least your will never be short on poop... Because that's in high demand ? Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Aww I wish I had more room for more but my tank can't handle another poop machine ? albinos are so cool!! Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Lol yes they are, and I luv 'em for it! Hours of entertainment ? Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So I've recently changed up my tank to have five longfin rosy barbs and five female Platy's. (and swapped my HOB filter for a fluval 206 canister filter ☺) I'm used to platys but barbs are new for me... What I don't get is why they follow my platys around and eat their poop?!? Is this normal or...

Oh that sounds cool! I considered albino but heard they were a bit more delicate ? but man are they pretty!!! Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

How do you know what a female is then? Do they have any bristles at all? Any idea how long it takes for them to mature, I got mine very young so I'm wondering how long a wait I'm in for ~ either way he/she is one of my fav fish, they have this prehistoric look that is so cool! Sent from my...

Thanks all for the help! The pics are especially helpful for reference, can't wait for my pleco to grow a bit more and see what happens!!! Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I did, I had to cut them up pretty small but they very happily ate them up! My platys really love them too ? Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I've had my bristlenose pleco almost two months now and I've yet to see any bristles. How long before they come in, or don't? Is there any other way to tell the gender? I've included a pic, not the best but it's a shy one ? Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I've recently gotten a group of white cloud minnows and after researching I see that they are omnivores. I was wondering if I could use my dry Seaweed strips (originally for my BN pleco) and tear or chop them up into tiny flakes for them? Has anyone done or heard of this before? I already...

So those red minor tetras got very aggressive and nipped a bunch of my Danios and platys fins ? so I've returned them. I got ten white cloud minnows instead, I want a nice schooling fish so these will hopefully do that without the aggression those darn tetras had ?. Sent from my E2306 using...

Thanks for the reply! None of the females have shown any dominate or aggressive behavior. They were a bit stressed by my male guppies but I've rehomed those fellas and my platies are much happier! Lol I can imagine that's a lot of platys! And they just keep going ? I originally had a few males...

In my research I've also heard they can get nippy, but mostly if they are kept in a group of less than five and lack space for their own territory. I've got a 37 gallon that is moderately planted with driftwood and a rockwall so they have lots of room and places to hide out ☺ the Danios have...

Maybe they took him in so quickly because I've got a group of seven platies and another of six long fin red minor tetra... Surprisingly everyone gets along well! The platies tend to be all over though, though don't seem to school like the Danios or the tetras Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium...

Good to know! The little fella is already a part of the group! All six are swimming together and playing nice ? I'm happy to hear they can fit in with the zebras because I love the look of the long fin leopard! He's like a little fishy cheetah ?? Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium Advice...

I have five long fin zebra Danios and recently was given a lone Leopard long fin danio. Will it school with the others? Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Is All Female Platy's Okay? So I have three high fin, two sunburst, one gold twinbar and two red micky mouse Platy's, all female. My question is... Is it okay to keep an all female group like this? Someone pointed out to me it might be cruel to not have any males, is this true? I know they can...

Yeah I made sure to blanche it first and froze a bunch of slices. I just defrost them in the microwave as needed. I like the substrate idea, I'll make sure to try it next time ☺ Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Good to know! I've got algae wafers for my pleco and three kinds of food for my platies, danios and guppies (nutrafin bug bites, tetramin tropical crisps and of course omega one freshwater flakes). I like to switch things up because i feel for the poor things eating the same thing every meal...

I've been trying to feed veggies to my pleco and he's just starting to realize they are food! Hooray!! But more importantly I've found a cure for my platies constipation! I tried peas but they don't like them... The zucchini for my pleco though... Boy do the platies love that stuff! It also...

I've had my BN pleco for over a month now and I've learned that lots of eating and lots of pooping is what makes him happy and healthy. It's normal ☺ Sent from my E2306 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I too have a BN pleco and my platies were eating his algae wafers up before he could. I find that it is best to put the wafers in at night after all the other fish have gone to sleep. Plecos are more active at night so that's when he should get his food ? I found that a half hour after I turn...

A bit of an update... I should have kept my quarantine tank for the new fish!! Stupid me trying to save a few bucks ? The neons I got along with a danio brought ick to my tank and I'm still dealing with it ? I tried raising the temperature and using salt as I have in the past but it wasn't...

I've kept guppies for a year now and only had one jump and sadly die. He was an odd ball though and never swam with the other guppies and did his own thing. The other six i have haven't done any jumping though ☺ As for neons, I've only had mine a few weeks but they haven't done any jumping...

I've got zebra Danios, platies, guppies, neon tetras and a BN pleco. I find that platies are the best! They come in many different colors and are so peaceful but also very hardy! All my fish get along great but each type is same sex so there is no fighting over mates. The zebra Danios are...
