Just lost another molly, any ideas?

Oh yea, the golddust molly had a red spot that was right above his anal fin that showed on both sides, when I got home 4 hours later he was dead and colorless. He ate and was swimming fine before I left

I have had 3 mollies die this week due to unknown causes. They just look sick and then die the next day. Saturday I lost a golddust, sunday a silver and today a black. All I can see is a silvery spot on the black molly's head. Looking closer, her scales are missing, but she hasnt been dead...

Yea I was trying to post them, and I'm tired so I was having trouble remembering how to... but here they are

So I've had this molly for about two months now and at first I thought she just had some white freckles ( I don't have a better word than that for it ) Anyways, I noticed them getting kind of fuzzy. No one else in my tank looks sick. She's now in a 10 gal all by herself but I don't know what...

I am also having this issue so by waiting it out do you mean by doing nothing differently? I was thinking algae bloom for a bit so i was leaving my lights on less and trying to address it that way, but I was looking at it today and it is more of a white cloudy.

Very cool. My fifty five just finished cycling so this auction is coming at the perfect time for me. My husband really like s the featherfin catfish, and I wanted to do a Molly and swordtail breeding tank so I may just go brackish and do that. I know I need a new hood and new lights too I...

Thanks HN1! Yes it is the CAS auction. Are you also going?

I found out about a fish auction in my area on Saturday. This would be a first time experience for me. Any advice from experienced fish auction goers? I would only be purchasing fish.

I honestly thought I had done everything right for the cycle. I stuck the new filter media in the old filter for a few days, and transferred the old filter media and all the decorations to the new tank. I also used nutrafin cycle. The levels are testing safe, but still higher than I would...

Thanks everyone. I will keep an eye on the ph and keep watching for signs of stress. So far the swordtails look great. The neons didn't make it. I don't know if the filter was too strong for them or what, but they were all attached to the filter this morning. :( The pleco is hiding, but that...

Pieces of coral. There is the one in the center and the 2 on the right

It isn't live anymore, just the shell of the beauty it used to be. Does that change the answer?

I was given some coral with the 55gal I purchased. Is this safe to have with my freshwater fish? I am upgrading my 20gal so I have 6 neon tetra 2 marigold wag swordtail (both female) 1 albino bristlenose pleco Thinking of adding mollies and swordtail slowly as the tank gets situated

I was given some. Fake plants my dad used to use in his aquarium that came from my grandpas florist shop. They are full of metal and I don't want to chance my fishes, so I am going to try this with them! Thanks for the idea

I really like bala sharks and could see a pair of them looking quite nice in your tank

This tank is going to be more work than originally planned. 2 of the glass panels are broken so I need to find a shop that will be able to cut the glass to custom sizing for me. The tank was custom built for my dad way back when. He passed away about 5 years ago so I don't want to just ditch...

So my mom just gifted me my dad's old fish tanks. They haven't had water in them for 20 years and haven't been submitted to the best conditions. What do I need to know about Resealing them so they are fish ready?

So I have about 7 new swordtail fry and I wanted to have a second tank for them to grow in. I have been cycling some water from my main tank in a 10 gal I had, but I don't have a heater or filter for it. Will my fry be ok in there? The ammonia nitrates and nitrites are all in check in the...

Well an update on this is I have one surviving fry. I don't know if there were more initially. I have had her in a breeding net and she is getting pretty big, but now I have another batch of fry on the way! I am trying to figure out how big the fry needs to be before it joins the large...

So i just got my swordtails on Sunday, and as I have been watching them, one of my females has been looking rather round to me. I am new to the fish keeping world, and have been trying to do lots of research but it's been difficult for me to figure this one out yet. She has been hanging out at...

They seemed to be nipping at my friends guppies. They have a 45 gal tank with about 10 guppies and 2 plecos. The danio were introduced and just wouldn't stop with harassing the guppies, so they decided to give away the danios. They had inherited them as well. There are 5 of them now in a 15...
