I think they are unfertilized. So mamma should be alright, and sounds like you did everything right. If it was a stress abortion, like we mentioned - they would be half developed. By the look of her ( boxy) you made the right call. Try again in 30 days! :) good luck, and sorry for the...

Hello! Yesterday I "adopted" a baby map turtle. I have done some research on my own, but anything anyone could tell me about what to expect would be great. So far, (I've only had him one day) he doesn't have a UVB light, but just a basking light, and a wet/dry mini heater under some rocks...

Good luck dear! I wish I had some secret tip, but I have never experienced hyperplasia myself, but I have kept betas for years, and have heard to watch out for it. Best of luck!

Defiantly hyperplasia. Try those tips on the blog I sent you.

^ yes. It happened to me once. I never used a breeder box again. She also could be too young.. Those are un fertilized eggs from the looks of it... So maybe she didn't have any spunk to make the magic happen... But in that case, the eggs are usually reabsorbed, but I've read can also be...

Okay. Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! (My betas are HUGE now btw!) haha

http://nippyfish.net/sick-betta/gill-hyperplasia/ Sounds like gill hyperplasia to me. Here's a really great blog about it. Good luck friend.

A better picture, would yield better advice, but I know how difficult that can be. Is it his gill flap covering that is enlarged? Or does it appear to be above or beneath the 'skin' ?

UPDATE: Main tank- successful! Only one casualty- one african dwarf frog didn't make it, but he wasn't looking good when I started the blackout. So 1/30 something ain't bad! The tank is back to its pristine self! Fry tank- mostly successful. No casualties, not even a single fry was lost...

Hmm, and salt? I've got Molly, Betta, and Guppy fry as well as a pleco..

Hello friends! I blacked out my fry tank, and my main tank (cross contaminated water- bought a new light etc) and everything went fine, I didn't lose anyone, but I see ICH on 3 fry. How can I safely treat fry for ich? I have Betta, Molly and Guppy fry and one pleco in the tank. (I haven't...

Mix it up, my friend! I mixed my first ever sorority, and found that my favorite was the only "standard" female betta- just labeled "female betta" She grew to be 4" long, and a beautiful pink and yellowy orange. :) none of the others got that big, she had more spunk to her. :) good luck!

Ive got molly, guppy and betta fry in a 29. Betas are about a month, guppies are as young as 2 weeks and as old as 2 months, and mollies are about a month... Again- everyone was healthy.. I blacked out tonight. It's been almost 12 hours now. I'm just worried if I should take it the full 3...

Lol. That's alright- I appreciate the reply! That's exactly what I'm worried about... Ugh. I don't wanna use/ buy a sterilizer for the same reasons.... :/ What todo what todo...

Anybody? Please? I've put so much into them- any advice would be great..

Can I safely black out a fry tank to kill algae bloom? Has anyone ever done this? I googled- and can't find anything... The bloom isn't that bad- all the fry are fine- and all levels are normal. Thank you!

I might post another thread- asking if anyone has blacked out a fry tank.. I'm worried about no food- I've put so much into them, ya know?

Okay- I'll update in 3 days I suppose. Thank you- fingers crossed!

Even the fry? I have guppy- molly- and betta and a small pleco. I googled- and couldn't find anything about blacking out a fry tank... I'll go tape up the 55. (No feeding- right?)

This might be a dumb question- but will everything in my tank be okay without light for 3 days? I'll do that right now... Thank you. about a month ago- I set up a bigger fry tank- 29 bow- and used established tank water for half of it- and it may be greenish as well- would the fry be okay? I...

Well- I figured it out, it DOES have color to it, and that color issss- green! I forgot that I added a new light to my tank about a month ago. :/ Sorry and thank you everyone! Suggestions? I am doing 25% water changes twice a week (gravel vac), I changed half the filter cartridges, I only...
