Thank you Zagz!

We seem to have less molly fry now compared to a week ago. I think the adult mollies might be eating the babies when they're hungry but I'm not worried about that since I heard it's typical. Plus my female molly is pregnant and is due very soon. She seems to be getting along well with the male...

The white spots were on my two female mollies that recently died, one a couple of days ago and one yesterday. The spots didn't really look like spots, more like white blotches by their pectoral fins. But I didn't see them right away, I had to look very closely. It seemed they developed the white...

Amazing diagram! I don't know how you made it move that way. The idea is also very interesting. I can see that there's a fish tube going from one tank to the other and vice versa; but isn't the second, smaller tank going to be planted and/or accessorized? Also, what are the sprays for? Other...

I'm considering getting a job. I'm 18 so it's no problem. I really appreciate your advice. I'll try to do my best! In the meantime merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your little buddies. :x-mas:

Thank you for letting me know, bluerose. The lack of oxygen could also be a possibility since we can't filter the water as often because of the fry (since they always get sucked into the filter), therefore the water quality might be poor. You're right, we don't have a test kit. I'll try to talk...

Sorry about the bad language, I'll go and change the words right now. I'm just... very angry at Dad. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to get my own tank since I don't have a job and don't currently have any money of my own. Besides Dad wouldn't understand if I wanted to get my own tank...

Oh man, something's crazy going on... one of our female mollies died a couple of days ago, today the other one jumped out from the tank and Dad noticed her on the floor just in time before she dried up. She was recovering all day and just jumped out of the tank again a couple of minutes ago. It...

I believe he doesn't know what the heat treatment is. By "old school" I meant that he has simple views on everything. Dead fish - no biggie, just buy more. White spots - no biggie, they'll go away. White water - no biggie, it'll filter out. Etc, etc. I wish I'd know what the correct term for...

I read something about ich on the forums but didn't understand what it was. Now that I know what it is I'm a little scared because I think our other female has white spots, as well as some of the other female's fry. I'm worried I won't be able to talk my Dad into buying liquid medicine because...

We never knew that, thanks for letting us know! We'll look into it and will be careful next time.

I did have 1 male and 2 females but one female passed away yesterday. I still don't know why. She had some white spots on her when we saw her on the tank bottom, but I don't think she was very old. She also recently gave birth to some fry. My Dad's theory is that she was too old, my theory is...

Thanks bluerose!

Thanks Zags! Also how long do you think the bacterial bloom will last for and how often should we change the water?

My Dad and I got a second-hand tank a week ago. We haven't had one for 5 years. Dad wanted to save some money so he went to a nearby yacht club and got some sea gravel there. Prior to putting it in he washed it, as well as the tank. We put in a dead SW coral and the previous owner's ornament...

We brought him in just yesterday and since last night I've seen him have just a 10-second rest, other than that he's always doing that one thing. Is this normal, unusual, or what?

I'll see if Dad'll want to get a LRTK. See, it all depends on him. He bought everything with his money and he takes care of everything so I have very little say in this. It was hard enough to get him to turn the heater off when the water temperature was rising above 31*C this morning. We...

I like to take occasional photos of my aquarium so I'm wondering if using the flash affects the fish in any way. Thanks!

jsoong, to answer your questions the tank is FW. The coral is dead. We replaced the yacht club gravel with aquarium-suited gravel we bought at WalMart. When preparing things to go into the tank after cleaning it for the second time, we washed the gravel with tap water, scraped algae off the...
