If I remember correctly, convicts need quite a large tank just for one pair. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure they need a hefty tank.

Thanks guys!

About 3 weeks ago my dwarf platy (bright orange) had 8 fry. When they were born, all were a light orange just like their parents except for one which was a white-ish/clear color similar to a guppy fry. I know for a fact that she only mated with the male dwarf platy and he is also orange. I...

I'm thinking of also adding 1 pleco and maybe some more neon tetras. Maybe some male guppies as well.

Oh yeah I know to definitely do that first.

Hello! A local aquarium store is going out of business and they are giving me one of their 50gal tanks for $50! I have all of the equipment for it so all I will need is some lovely inhabitants. I have some ideas of what I'd like to stock it with and not all of these will be purchased at the same...

My silver sailfin mollies breed like crazy and have roughly 10-20 fry at a time. Usually about 5-8 survive and the adults actually don't eat them. They have multiplied so much from the time I got them that I've had to get another tank. It's crazy! There are soooo many of them! My 3 dwarf platys...

Several months ago I got 2 female silver sailfin mollies. I already had a male fancy tail guppy in the tank when they were introduced. I also that the guppy was constantly chasing them around and getting quite "friendly" with them. Eventually both mollies each had fry. Fast forward to...

I have 3 gold dust mollies (2 females 1 male) and i have been trying to breed them for a while. I got 5 fry over quite a long period of time and was hoping for more. One females would always have stillborns or ones that would die a couple days later and the other would gobble her fry up before I...

Congrats! I do not need anymore guppy fry. I am swamped with them! I just put 5 young guppies back in the main tank (they were bigger and getting color) and 1 young gold dust molly in. My nursery tank has about 40 or so fry....only 4 are mollies. I also have a pregnant molly ready to drop any...

Here are the pics! yay! Please let me know what you think! Btw...I have 4 fish that now look like the last 2 pictures on here.

Ugh...the pics didn't work. How do you guys post your pics? Thanks in advance!

Ok so here are two of my guppy fry that aren't so little anymore. I asked in another post if the first ones way a double swordtail guppy but I had no pics to show....so what do you guys think???

Haha when my first batch of fry came around (3 unexpected little guys) I was going nuts! I still get really excited when they have them...I even got to see one actually giving birth! Gotta love nature!

Sigh...All of the 3 fry died last night. They were premature so I didn't think they would live long (although I had premature guppy fry that ended up doing well in the past). I guess that's how nature works. Now I will just have to wait until the next drop and hope some survive. For now I'll...

I have been breeding my mollies for quite a while now. I have heard many place that they gobble up their fry really fast...I believe it. I recently had two pregnant mollies and they were both ready to drop. I know many people don't like to do this, but I separate mine a week or two before they...

A while ago, a few of my female guppies had fry. I put them all together and now, a few months later, they are getting their color. Well one of the females was a pretty little silvery one with two white stripes on her tail (one top one bottom). She died a long time ago (right after having her...

My betta did the same thing. I loved watching him make the bubble nest! He did it all the time!

I have guppies and mollies that all have fry on a reguler basis. I keep saying that I am going to stop separating the females to give birth and let nature take its course instead. Well Everytime I see a female ready to drop, I put them in a net and scoop up all the fry. My last drop was 40 fry...

1) I was thinking about getting a male betta but are they in any way aggressive to other fish (not other bettas). I have guppies and mollies right now and I don't want them to get beat up! 2) I saw some dwarf puffers that I am also considering in the future. Does anyone know anything about...

Yeah my fish do that too. I usually wait a little wile before clicking the light on. They look pretty funny though...almost like they are drunk! Poor fish don't like to get up in the morning any more than I do!

I have been thinking about adding a male betta to my tank. Currently I have guppies, mollies, plecos and dwarf platys as well as 2 snails and 2 ghost shrimp. Can anyone who has had a male betta with other fish give me some advice? Thanks in advance

I have two Orangy-Red Dwarf Platys and I love them. They are cute and very active. Mine havent bred though...hmmm...

My cleaning crew includes 2 gold mystery snails (they don't breed fast if at all....mine never have), 2 ghost shrimp (super cheap), and 2 small plecos (they suck around a little but do require their own food and can get big). They do a great job of helping out. I recomend the first two...snails...

I forgot to tell everyone! My guppy...the huge one...had her fry!!! Several nights ago I checked on her and there they were! I've counted 40...there may be more who knows! Here is my little mistake though. I recently got a small tank with and undergravel filter (to be my temp. fry tank). My...
