I recently added a new dwarf gourami late yesterday (not a fire dwarf). This new guy seems very active, in fact I think he can see his reflection on the glass and attacks himself sometimes. Anyway, when I left for work this morning, there were about a dozen very new platy fry and the five...

I have a 10 gallon tank with three adult platies (one male and two females) and one male guppy. A little over a month ago, one platy had about five fry that survived (a few got eaten). I thought it was pretty cool. But now a female just dropped another dozen or so. Unfortunately my 10 gallon...

That's pretty much what I do, but i was concerned that was too much light (about 15 hours per day).

I have a 10 gallon tank with a flourescent light. It has five tropical fish and four live plants. I want to make sure I am providing the proper amount of light each day and I hear it is typically in the 10-12 hour range. My dilemma is that I like to have the light on in the morning when I am...

I recently switched over to a tropical tank from a goldfish tank (only 10 gallons). A fire dwarf gourami was my first tropical fish. At Petco, it was the nicest looking fire DG, but was also the least social and was hiding in the very back. I put it in my tank all by itself and, like your fish...

Another fancy guppy died last night. :P It's beautiful fan shaped tail had split in two down the middle, just a few days before it died.

So I have had one or two fancy goldfish in my 10g aguarium for at least two years, but recently switched to tropical fish. One of my fancy guppies died today, not sure why but it was stuck to the filter intake. I just use the Quick Dip tabs for water quality testing and I know people say they...

I have a 10 gallon aquarium, basically stocked to full capacity. One of my platies had about 10 fish a couple of weeks ago. I was actually hoping my other platies or the dwarf gourami would eat them all, but 7 of them are still going strong. I am shocked at how quick and stealthy they are at...

My female platies seem relatively uninterested in the fry, although they will chase them around a bit. I have seen my female platies eat a couple of their fry, however. It is usually while I have just fed them - when they are in a feeding frenzy. My dwarf gourami, on the other hand, always has...

My platy just had a few babies last night. Here is a video, notice how it is taking cover in the gravel, which are small sized pebbles:

Hair thing and babies My dwarf gourami just had a similar hair type thing coming out and I was wondering what it was. According to a Petco fish specialist, the gourami's anus is way up forward because of the long anal fin, and this was basically just poop coming out. They said it happens when...

So your strips said one thing and API said another. Then you conlcuded API is way better. But how did you confirm API was the more accurate test?

I have had one or two fancy goldfish in a 10g tank for about two years now (with one small algae eater). My goldfish died a couple months ago when I went on vacation. After about a month I decided to switch over to tropical fish and added the heater. I am mantaining a temperature of 76 to 78...
