Well.. but its the babies that were born in my tank that are mating with the guppies.... And they are all suspiciously a mix color of black and gold.. So I just assumed they were offspring of the 2 (black molly/gold platy)... But also, there are many of these females that are offspring and...

Thanks for the answers! Hmm... I was really kind of expecting everyone to say I was imagining things.. But since you seem to think it could be possible, let me go into a little detail.. The male is a black molly for sure. The female he first bred with I thought was a gold molly.. but Im...

Hello everyone! Stupid question #1: Can mollies breed with platies? I think mine have, but Ive read some things that say they 'cant'. Stupid question #2: Can fancy guppies breed with platies or mollies? My fancy guppies have been mating with my platies and my females dont seem to mind at...

You know, this happened to one of mine.... actually I think it mayhave happened to 2. They both died a few weeks after I noticed it....... :( Course, yours might have something different...but Im curious to know what other people think it is. I couldnt find any info that cleared it up for me...

I have 2 pandas, 2 big duplics and 2 sterbai. From looks alone, I think the sterbais are cutest. But my pandas are the friendliest - when i am cleaning the tank and have my hands down near the gravel they come over and swim in circles aroung my hands - its cute. but the duplics just look so cool...

Ive got some molly fry that is about 3 weeks old right now - they are gold with black spots on their bodies and fins - and the black spots were visible from the first day I spotted them (i beleive they were not more than 2 days old at the time). the mother is gold and the father is black - so...

I toss in algae wafers for my pleco and the cories dont seem to mind eating them every now and then - and my pleco flies over to them and shoos them off her food! the cories do seem to prefer the sinking pellets more though, im my tank, anyway.

Ive had 2 pandas since the start of my tank. (a few died along the way..) I decided to get some big cory duplics (they are like 4 times the size...they are really big!! ) and 2 sterbais that are mid sized. at first the 4 new guys wanted to search out the tank and play in the water current...

anyone?? in case the question is fuzzy - im asking if the frozen krill could have been damaging to the digestive tracts of my fish - i read something about the spikes being a problem while digesting. and then i thought maybe my fish are too small to be eating krill... JBL makes this 20%...

I bought some frozen krill today at my lfs. its basically these cubes full of them. you can thaw em and drop in in. my serpaes went nuts. little piranahs they were...! and my balck molly and clown loaches were crazy about them too. and then i was reading something about krill/flake mixtures...

sorry about your fishy.. :cry:

yeah, those 2 are for sure both males...and they are buddies...but i thought maybe they are ok with each other beacuse the others might not be female swords...so maybe they dont feel like they need to compete. but thats just one theory. and as far as the it doesnt matter ---- it does to me!! I...

ocarbreeder - the first photo does? or do you mean the second one..cause the second one is labeled as being a molly... the first is my fishy... you think my fishy is a molly? (im kind of with you, if you say yes...but im the least knowledgeble fish owner on this site... :wink: )

newaridiar - i understand what you are saying - but im not concerned with them interbreeding. i just want to know what i have in my tank. and like i said - all of these fish (including the black molly) were ALL labled as platies in the store. I just want to know what they really are... thanks...

Thanks for all the ideas so far! I saw a photo of a marigold swordtail and I was thinking that she might just be that... and then i saw this photo of a gold molly... do you all think they look alike?? edited to say oops they called this one albino....but same question..!

Hey there tankgirl! Well..all 6 livebearers were bought at the same time, about 3 months ago i think. - and in the shop they said I was getting a couple with each pair - but obviously they were wrong about the swords (lol, well maybe they werent.. :D ) and the yellow fish seem to be both female...

Do you know if its common for 2 adult male swordtails to have absolutely no interest in 2 female swordtails?? thats the thing that stumps me.. unless they are boyfriends... hmm. i hadnt thought of that - is it possilble? I know its documented in some mammals...

so if shes a molly, do you have any idea which kind maybe??

Hey all,....=) I posted some pics of some fish I wasnt certain of which species they belonged to - and most ppl thought this fish was a female Swordfish. I have 2 of these, and 1 is for sure a female and has already had babies with a fish Im pretty sure is a Black Molly. I have 2 other fish...

Hey there TankGirl - long time no see! :lol: Adzatious - Im not in any way shape or form a cycling expert - or fish expert - but I just wanted to say that my 240 L cycled without ever showing nitrites in the readings. And I tested at least once a day from 1 week old until about 2 months...

When i was a kid we had a 20 gallon tank and lots of livebearers in it. And lots of babies. My mom always tried to catch them and put them into the net - tank. (it was made for babies, but really was made of netting except for the frame) When I was about 10 a cousin of mine was visiting and I...

hi everyone- thanks fruitbat! i dont mind at all! its so strange, because all those fish were labeled as the same thing in the shop - and all in the same tank. the swords didnt have their tails when i bought them, so i had no idea. the yellow fish and black fish have had lots of babies - and...

holton- can you see the one in my last post??

I think my image hosting place was bad - I think you have to be an MSN account user maybe - but now i used webshots and it seems ok....though some people said they couldnt see it - but they could at least post the links... so im happy. ill be happier still if they can tell me which fish ive...

Yeah they do have that gold, I noticed that yesterday...they were for sure not labeled adolfoi - and they are really huge compared to my Pandas. they are also a little agressive with some of the smaller fish - well not agressive, but they chase them a little. they are pretty active fishies...
