Thank you so much livebearer, this info help considerately, i have my Sunburst platy in a breeding net now, i am not 100% sure how much longer he has, but my best guess is roughly a week, she is squaring off now and not eating a lot! I am so excited for this batch of fry!! How big should they...

Thanks Kepo Wow i would have never guessed fish getting worms, and i have always wondered about nematodes i always though it was made up! I have started to fast my fish 2times a week because my 2 red wag platies just are huge bellies. They look a bit more normal now and they both are active! So...

A friend of mine was going to get rid of his last surviving fish by flushing it, but i told him that i would take it off his hands, now i know it is definitively pregnant but this will be only my 2 time having fry, my first ones all died during a water change, they were black mollies. I want to...

Well my platy is pooping normal now and i have cut back on the amount of food i feed my fish. I had herd somewhere that white poop means pregnancy but not 100% sure. Even if my platy has pooped white once that i have seen is that still a possibility for worms? and what is nematodes?? AND what...

well that might have to wait till i can get a larger tank, i was just a bit worried that she might be getting bullied by the other two, it seems to have subsided a lil bit but she still is a bit of a loner for now!

I have just gotten a silver Molly, she is beautiful but i am concerned about my Female Creamcicle lyretail is nipping at her quite a bit, will this stop in time once they adjust to one another? or could it be because the silver molly is roughly 3/4" of an inch smaller than my other 2...

Thanks HobGob your probably right, im heading over to PetSmart today to check out a few things!! a heater will be 1st on my list!! Thanks!

what is celius? do you mean celsius? just curious?:huh:

Thank you Librarygirl that helps a lot! and Redflame i do have a heater it works pretty well, but it concerns me because the temperature fluctuates from roughly 72F - 78F but it could be because its the middle of winter i try to keep it warm in the house though, my fish go from active to very...

:fish2:Do certain fish require a different temperature than others for a freshwater tank? and if so will a colder temp make fish more inactive? My fish are 2 Mollys, 3 angels and 2platys!

Wow thats good to know, i always thought they had to be the same type of molly!

So platys are just fat? haha, i even fasted my red wag for 1-2 days they only shrank a bit, they still look huge though! max maybe 1.5"inches very rounded bellies!!

So any type of molly can mate with any other? such as a lyretail molly with a regular molly? Lyretails are so beautiful they are my favorite molly!

Molly Pic If i did this right the picture is of my M/F Creamcicle Mollys, both about 2"-3" long

Awesome Thank you rreekers and ashes this information helped a lot, i do not think any of my fish are pregnant at the moment but my M and F Creamcicle Mollys keep chasing eachother around the tank, especially the male chases the female a lot, how do i know if they are mateing or just aggressive...

Just a curious question, how long does it take for live bearing fish to go full term with its pregnancy, and what are some signs to look for if a live bearing fish such as a platy or molly are pregnant?:confused:

Thanks i feed them once a day flakes and bloodworms twice a week, she is pooping white and what almost seems clear than regular again is this a health issue, she isnt showing any signs and she is very active but it is a little worrying

She looks smaller now but still like she might be pregnant! working on getting a pic!

Wow that link helped me out a lot!! It is exactly what i have been looking for and especially since i have 2 Creamcicle Lyretails!!

I have a red wag platy female and i have had her for nearly a month and she has been growing a lot, she always looks like she is about to pop! i put her in a breeding net but i am not sure is she is pregnant, overfed or if that just how platies are? First time having platies so could she be...

Thank you so much Mumma.Of.Two that link has helped me out so much, unfortunately it will be roughly a month before i can find enough cash to be able to buy one even off of eBay or craigslist, but thank you everyone for your advice! ill post more soon hopefully you guys are fantastic!!

Wow this was extremely helpful, i have had my tanks for months how and have unfortunatley lost several fish, but they seem to be doing well now, it been over a month since my last, anyway i have learned so much more that will help me!! Thank you!

I have a few questions about my Creamcicle Lyretail mollies, they have been chasing eachother for the past 2 weeks 1Male and 1Female the male been chasing the female and looks like he nipping at her anal fin! anything to...

Thanks you guys for the info, i figured as much for the 5gallon is over populated. The 5gal has 7neons, 5Glofish, 2Fantail guppies and 4 nickel sized snails. I have an extra 5 gallon tank just no heater or lid. As for the Angelfish in the 10gal will they be okay until i can save up enough to buy...

Ok, i have a 10gallon tank with 3 quarter sized Angel fish 2 redwag platies and 2 3inch Creamcicle Lyretails. The male keeps chasing the female around the tank and it seems to only chase her around her anal fin. What does this mean? I dont know how to tell if she is pregnant but she seems just a...
