    Strange behavior and a WORM!!

    I’m sure they did. I didn’t even think about it. I sure hope I never have to deal with something like that again. He just died a few minutes ago. I hate this part?

    Strange behavior and a WORM!!

    Strange behavior and a WORM!!

    Hello, I have a baffling situation, at least to me and the lfs and local aquatics stores I have reached out to. So I have a planted 10g with 3 male guppies. They have been in the tank since 12/31, so 10 days, and have all been thriving and getting along great. Eating and behaving completely...
