Sexing corries can be tricky, but the males are usually smaller, and their dorsal fin more pointed. They breed in groups, so you better have room for at least six of them. They are egg scaterers (from what I've read about them) so chances are that you won't have to raise the eggs seperately...

This thread belongs both under sick fish, and breeding because of the molly recently giving birth. My mollies get a little skiddish after their births, and hide in my big house decoration. After a few days, they come out regularly, and become part of the community again. If it were only your...

get her out of that net, it causes them a ton of stress. be sure to have hiding places at the top and bottom of the tank. (you can float plastic plants at the top) when she drops, expect 20-40 fry (you probably wont get to save all of them, but that's just nature taking its course) best of luck...

Don't get me wrong, the new site format looks pretty nice. It's just irritating that there is no log-in space on the first page that comes up when I type in the aquarium advice address. I have to go into the forums, and then the option to log-in is in the upper right hand corner of the page...

Have you checked the classifieds section of this website? There are usual some pretty good deals on here, and always friendly people to buy from.

always check around the base of the decorations. i pick my decorations up very quickly so that if there are any hiders under there, they get picked up with the newly created current. they dive right back down into the gravel, but at least you'll know if you have any in there. also, they hide in...

the golden one is a twin bar platy... don't know if that's a mistake that you made identifying her or if she is just in the picture. in my experiences, platies drop more babies and more often, but they are about half the size of mollies at birth, and most of them dive for the rocks. naturally...

the birthing process of a molly is only 1-5hrs long (in my experience) chances are, that she gave birth when you weren't around, and most of them were eaten. my mollies give birth every 4-6weeks, so stay aware. sounds like your dalmation either has a ton of babies, or a good batch of very...

"Baby tears" is correct, i googled the long scientific name and that's what came up :) i will look into getting some of that. (it's very pretty!)

Thank you for this advice, i will look for the correct bulbs for both my 29g and my 10g now. (i only have one 15w bulb going in my 10g small twin-light hood)

where were these taken? is this your pond? that's alot of koi!

Found out that the light is an incandecent. (I hope I spelled that right) How big of a difference does this make? My bulbs of water grass are doing just fine, and one is getting pretty long, almost to the point of poking out of the surface of the water. I will look up guppy grass and...

Still no luck with selling the livebearers... Wal-Mart is freaking confusing... I'm going to try to sell to my local LFS once more, and if the owner tells me yet again that she refuses to buy livebearers, I'm going to go insane. I have some friends that are interested in setting up a tank, and...

turns out that the ambiacus is actually a geryi (there are way too many breeds of this little catfish) and the aeneus is actually a carlae. thank you for recommending planet catfish to me, Coursair. Never would have guessed that there were so many corydoras species...

ErinMcG, please read read post #8.

Bronze cory says groups of six or more so that pairs can be made for breeding. The site didn't say anything about the spotted cory's schools, but i would imagine that the first number would be a good one to go by. The two of them swim together all the time, so is it possible that they will fuse...

Turns out that one of them is a corydoras aeneus (bronze cory) and one is a corydoras ambiacus (spotted cory). Please tell me that I did not screw up by having them together...

I'll go do that now and put a reply post up, as well as update the original post when I find out.

29g that is currently a livebearer breeder that I am contomplating turning into a community tank because I am sick of breeding. Either way, I need some live plants for it, but have no idea what I'm doing. My light fixture came stock with the 29g starter kit. The light says "20 watt" on it, but...

a.tatreault, thanks for the advice concerning the gouramis/pleco. the beta is already in the tank and is doing quite well with the community of livebearers that it is currently in. i'm not positive on the breeds of the snails or corydoras because the pet store i go to only listed them as "black...

Let's start the story off by saying that i am sick of breeding livebearers.Nobody wants to buy them locally, not even my LFS.I am calling my local Wal-Mart tonight to see if they would be willing to buy from me, but I'm not getting my hopes up. So, when the Wal-Mart idea fails, i will be trying...

i had a molly that took a month and a half to die from a parasite. she had pop-eye, and i tryed to save her from the pet store. she looked fine after about two weeks, then 5 weeks in, her eyes swelled rapidly. she died a week later :( maybe your fish had a parasite that remained dormant? just...

thanks for that advice then. yeah, mine were still pretty small when we had to get rid of them, so that makes sense. i was planning on helping someone set up a 10g TB display, thanks for helping me stop the mistake :) also, i thought they only got to be 2 - 2.5 inches? would 3 of them really...

good idea. maybe the fish were sick when you got them? either way, your smart to wait a while before moving forward with it. i'd be interested to here how it goes :)

very pretty tank. do you plan on adding any more tetras? maybe some scissortails? :)
