I agree with Coreysheli. Pygmy corys are awesome. I have an obnoxious betta that was the cause of my tetras' death. I would be cautious with ember tetras because they are so tiny. My betta shares a 10 gallon tank with 3 pygmycorys and he doesnt mind them at all. What is nice about the pygmy...

thanks for your help!

I'm am also going to be treating with levamisole. Will it harm the snails in my tank? What about my plants?

I had 3 guppies and 2 tetra and a nitrate and mystery snail in my tank. The last 2 weeks I lost all my guppies. My tetras are fine and show no sign off illness. However, I found these white dots on my rocks and sombre plants. My java fern is also dying. Anyone have any thoughts on what is...

They sure look like eggs to me. As foe house she got them I am not sure. Check pour this link. There is reallt great information. I hope this helps! http://www.planetinverts.com/shrimp_reproduction.html

I think it is worms :( I am heart broken. 2 days after finding the female, I found my male floating dead! I thought he looked healthy. I noticed some red string like things coming from the anus on both of them. I am so worried about my other fish. Idk what to do. The articles I have read...

I love my pygmy corys! They are schooling and swim all over the tank.

Unfortunately she didn't make it. Found her yesterday

I went on vacation about 2 weeks ago. The feeding routine stayed the same. I notice that one of mt 3 platies has extremely clenched fins and is very thin. She recently gave birth about a month ago. At first I thought the weight loss was because of give birth, but today and yesterday I noticed...

the lady pine is the best i got...i Ann inn vacation and my friend ours post sitting for us. She hasn't said anything about new fish

Hey! I read this post earlier today, then completed a water change. While I had the same problem! My PH levels spiked. I live near upper IL where the rain hit as well.

Any luck? TMaier, seems to know a lot about snails on here, and provides great feedback. Petco is having a sale $1 per gallon on tanks till 8/19. 8 hours seems lime a long tine for him not to be used to it. Sometimes betas just have aggressive.

How big is your current tank? How long did yiu leave the snail in the tank? I have 2 snails with my betta. He bumped them a few times, when i first put them in. He did leave them alone a few minutes later. I would be concerned about leaving the snail in the cup for a long time. Maybe put a...

So here is an update on my babies, i have a total of 6! I just found another on in the main tank today. I was wondering how long I should wait before putting them in with the males. I hate them being in a small enclosure. I added some juvenile java ferns the make them feel more comfortable. I...

I have dealt with pregnant platies before, but i am unsure. I can't see the "spot" due to her coloring and she is a juvenile. The male has been chasing her lately. So I was hoping to get a second opinion... I just had some mystery fry show up a little over a week ago. I didn't know any of...

My nerite likes to stick to the top of my lid every once and a while. But not to the extent of what your guy is doing!

Oh my word! That little guy is adorable! I know that doesn't help much. I am not an expert when it comes to these guys, but it sounds like tou are doing the best that you can right now. Sorry I'm not more helpful. He's just so stinking cute!

So a little over a week and a half ago my 10g tank shattered, with fish water and all inside. (It was a rather old tank and probably stressed.) In the mist of the chaos i turned to here to find suggestions on ways to save my 4 platies and pygmy corys. EVERYONE survived, with the exception or my...

Absolutely a crazy party of it all, today while testing my water, I found these guys swimming around. Apparently someone was keeping a secret! I got them all into a separate location away from the adults, hopefully the waster stays healthy for them.

Just and update. Fish are all doing great and water levels continue to be in good shape. I have been watching them like a hawk! Thank you both again for tour help!

Here is the incandescent lights. The hood is taller and you can see that it kind of gives a yellowish color to the whole tank. This hood I got at Petco for about $20-25 dollars. The LED came with my new tank but I have seen them at the local fish store around $30. Again, this is based on 10...

My tank is no where near TMair's beauty! However, I do have a simple 10 gallon tank. Please ignore the cloudy water and lack of plants, long story short I had to do an emergency replacement when my tank busted. BUT what I wanted to show you is the difference between the LED and the...

I think it worked! I added a little Turbostart to help with the ammonia levels and it went down, after a few hours. Everyone was added back in the and seem pleased. I am missing some plants on the right. I need to buy new ones. Putting the old media in the bucket of water and letting it cycle...

Yes I saved the media. I am currently waiting to transfer my fish over. Unfortunately, I had one of my fish jump out of the tub this afternoon and I did not see it till it was too late. After adding all the water my ammonia levels went up slightly. (Between 0-.2) We will wait and see what...
