Concerning baby guppies. How much time do they need until they grow up enough so as not to be eaten by bigger fish?

One of my guppies had babies 2 days ago.I wasn't prepared,and i didn't intend to keep them.But it's more than interesting to watch some of theme grow. I don't have any breeding net,or any other (unoccupied) tank.So i put 3,4 of them in a plastic bag like the ones used when we buy new fish.It...

Cyanobacteria!I hate them! I hope that u don't have a big problem.If its development is restricted,clean daily the infected areas. In general,as far as i know,there are 2 ways of confronting them: 1.Traditional: Partial water changes,less feeding,regular manual cleaning,keeping an eye on...

Thank u all @allivymar:pH is almost the same,about 7,5 - 7,6 @madasafish:The procedure i follow is adding the bags in the tank and add some tank water every 10 minutes.Not something unusual.I'd like to know more about the procedure you talk about! (a pm would be great) I was told that...

just tested about .2 - .3 ppm i do 30 % water changes weekly.

Hey,in less than 24 hours i lost 2 zebra dannios for no apparent reason!I watch them moving very fast and seem healthy when i put them.I put them in the tank (18 gallons) yesterday,and they were ok.I did the full acclimation progress.I turned off the light yesterday at about 9.30 pm and when i...

thanx a lot allivymar

I've been told that by increasing the temperature to 83 Farheneit for 48 hours,the bacterias that cause the fin rot will die.Is this a safe way to confronte them?I'm worried about the sudden temperature change and its effects to the fish health.

water changes,30% weekly.I vaccum weekly,too. Nitrates:25 mg/l or less,nitrites 0 NH3 about 0. temp 24C. thanx,i'll try to find the right antibiotic. more frequent water change would help?

aaaaaaargh!!!! :x just discovered that guppies have the same problem too! Is it a kind of bacteria causing this?I did a 30% water change today

2 of my serpae tetras seem to have a problem with the top of their fins.Their fins become gradually white -instead of the black healthy colour- like they get rotten.The fish seem to have problem with their movement.Some months ago a goldfish had the same symptoms.It finally died. Why's that...

Well,i use a fishing line with little pieces of cucumber on it.It's a nice way to have the vegetables in the tank waiting for the fish to notice them!I tried it for the first time a few days ago.My guppies and my swordtails don't care at all.Some tetras,not all of them,nibble them. I think they...

Yesterday i bought a different form of flakes,the "Tetra Minibites".These are small pieces of flakes,and fall down to the bottom a bit fast.Very thin,and small-sized.Someone proposed me this product,as it is said to be more appropriate for smaller fish (guppies,tetras etc).Well,my guppies and my...

I'm not planning on the upgrading,unfortunately.Due to space but mainly economical reasons.Firts of all,let's SAVE the swordtails in there,and we'll see :D . I change water once a week,a 30% change. measured pH is normal for the swordtails?

Hi!Well,i'm new at fishkeeping.I have a 14 gallon tank,with filter and an air-pump on it (u know,the air is coming out of the same hole that water does) and a heater.Set up about 8 months ago.Everything was ok!5 swordtails,a guppy and a pleco.Suddenly (2,3 months ago) one of the swordtails...
