They are very small round, clear eggs. I think they are attached to the driftwood somehow. Hopefully, you can see them in the pics. I tried to put them in the center of each pic.

I noticed this guppy frantically gasping at air for a long time at the top of my tank. Is that a sign of getting ready to give birth? I've never seen them act that way & I've never gotten to witness a guppy birth before. So just wondering if you've seen this behavior before birth? She looks...

I've decided to change out my substrate from black gravel to river rocks. I'm trying to figure out the best plan to do this. I'm thinking i should remove all the fish and decor and then scoop up the gravel and then lay down the rocks. Anyone ever done this? Ideas, thoughts? :fish2::thanks:

I currently have 3 tanks going, 2-20g & 10g (fry only). I want to eliminate 1 20g. I've listed it on Craigslist, but any other ideas if i have no takers? That tank also has fish, about 15 of them, that i want to get rid of too. Anyone have any experience on how to phase out a tank? :blink:

Found him today in my tank. Don't know where he came from or what kind he is.

I went to the LFS on a mission to buy some RCS, but they were out. They suggested i get some of the Orange Bee Shrimp. So i got 4. They are going in my 10g that also house 5 platy fry. Anyone have experience keeping these guys? They don't seem to exciting right now. :whistle: I also...

This morning I noticed my Platy looking super huge! I can't tell of she's about to drop some fry or just fat. The pics don't do her justice. Looking from bird's eye her belly comes out on both sides of her body. I'm thinking it's about time for a fry drop from her. I dont see much of a gravid...

So i just finished my weekly water change on my main tank. After getting everything cleaned up i noticed a shell on the floor behind the tank. I thought it was one of my seashell decorations, but no, it was my mystery snail!! :eek: So i scoop it up with my fish net and it kind of pulled like...

I keep reading about everyone's fry that are born in batches of 20 or 30. So my questions is, how are you getting to all these fry? :fish1: I've put some of my more preggo guppies in a breeder box and they've died. I have also let them do there thing in the tank (as i had no idea) and i end...

What do you think? Yes, no? Sooner, later? :)

I have 3 preggo guppies in my community tank. And I finally found a fry, 1 fry, caught it and stuck it in my baby net. So, my question is how do I know who's it is & are there more or more to come? Should I just keep watching for fry? I would LOVE to actually see them being born and have the...

I have a lot of preggo guppies, but when I checked them out this AM one of then seemed squared off to me. Since I'm new at this fish birthing stuff, looking for a second opinion. I out her in the breeding box to take some pics. Do you think she looks square or will drop soon?

I've been spending a lot of time waiting for my guppies to drop fry & just noticed that my red wag may be pregnant. It's hard to tell b/c she is a dark red. What do you think?

I think since my husband is out of town, I went out & got crazy with a Craigslist deal! I picked up a 20g tank & stand, penguin 150 filter, heater, air stone w/pump, tons of gravel, & my pick of as many guppies as I wanted for $20! So, I've set everything up & I'm wondering about it starting a...

So i've come upon some extra cash for my aquariums and still transitioning from beginning to intermediate. What are some things that aren't the obvious needs for running an aquarium or things that you can't (or your fish) live without? :thanks:

Just scored a sweet 10g at Goodwill for $5.99 (with lighted lid too)! So, my purpose of the post is not just to brag :brows:, but to talk about a quarantine tank. I haven't previously had one, i just have my one 29g. I already have a spare heater and decorations, but i need to buy a new filter...

My dalmatian Molly has been swimming vertically with her head down for the past 2-3 days. I recently lost another Molly that got a curved spine, if that's any clue to what's going on. I had my dalmatian molly in isolation all day yesterday and she acted ok, but it's a little fish bowl and i...

What? I'm litterally in shock!:eek: I thought i had all males in my tank. I'm new to the aquarium world and the little i know is just basics, nothing about pregnant fish or babies (or whatever they're called). I don't know who's it is and what to do with it. I randomly saw it, it's been in...

So i posted a couple days ago about my molly's body being bent. Well, now it's a lot worse. I tried to get a picture, but none of them turned out good. His gill's are working as hard as they can and i'm wondering if i should just put him out of his misery and flush him? :( I'm not sure...

It feels like it's one problem after another keeping an aquarium. :nono: So something's up with my Mollys. Ever since i got a new one about 2 weeks ago my tank has been acting peculiar. The latest is when the Mollys (maybe others) are being still in the tank their tails are a little...

Moving a thread over here from "introductions". I brought home a new pot-bellied molly about 1 week ago. Had my water tested at the store when i bought her and they said it was fine. **Also need to know that i treated ICH about 2 weeks ago, i used Rid-Ich and followed the directions and...

This morning i noticed my snail was on the end of the filter. I left him a while and then when i got worried maybe he was hurt, i took a net and knocked him down. His foot was a little bit sucked up in the filter. He hadn't moved for a couple of hours from where he landed when i pulled him...

So i just put a cute little clam blubber ornament in my tank. I thought my fish would love it, but they are all keeping their distance and hovering on the other side of the tank. This is the first bubbler thing i've ever had. I thought it would be good for them and they would enjoy it. Any...

Hi. Same as another introduction i just read, got tired of googling all my questions on every random fish forum out there and decided to join one! So here i am! A little intimidating b/c i'm new at the sport, but these posts seem friendly compared to some i've read. :thumb: Anywho, i'm in...
