how can u tell a boy fantail from a girl

[sammcneil]

i am just wondering how big will my fantail fish will get

 

[Fishkeeper26]

Can you post a picture? They're pretty hard to tell the difference. How big is it and what size tank?

You can't tell unless they are breeding.

i dont have a cam on my computer and i cant get it on my cell but the belly is big

Fantails naturally have an egg shaped belly

 

[sammcneil]

ok and another thing why is my fish afraid of me

 

[Fishkeeper26]

There could be many reasons, what size tank? What are the decorations?

 

[sammcneil]

a log with a fake plant and a no fishing sign because every time i go close to it goes to the bottom of the tank

 

[Fishkeeper26]

What size tank?

 

[sammcneil]

20 gallon tank and the fish is 2 days old

 

[Fishkeeper26]

On anther thread I just read you said it was a 1 gallon? Which is it? What are the dimensions of your tank? It's probably more of a health issue. Your tank isn't cycled so your gonna have some problems with your water quality. Do you use dechlorinator?

 

[sammcneil]

my tank is cycled

 

[Fishkeeper26]

my tank is cycled

If it's been set up for two days it isn't. What are the dimensions of your tank? Are you using dechlorinator?

 

[sammcneil]

no i think its ok for now

 

[Fishkeeper26]

What? Why do you keep posting questions for help, but when people try to help everything's instantly ok? Good luck

 

[sammcneil]

ok i rely dont know my dimensions

 

[Fishkeeper26]

I honestly asked that because you said you have a one gallon and 20, which is it? Do you use dechlorinator? What are your water parameters? Is your tank cycled?

If you don't know the answers to these questions just say so, don't lie about them

 

[sammcneil]

no i dont use dechlorinator and yes my tank is cycled

 

[Fishkeeper26]

You need to use dechlorinator.
What size tank?
How long has the tank been set up for?
What are your water parameters?

 

[sammcneil]

3days and i rely dont know what my parameters are
