Which Is the correct name (typo) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Watch is the correct name for this turtle, is it Amazon river turtle? I got two today, but I live abroad and I can't translate the name to its correct name, I was just checking Google for its name. Anything specific I need know about keeping them. I gave them a piece of wood to crawl out of the...

Is the scales if her body standing out, cuz if she's all of a sudden bloated out, it could be dropsy.

Oh, didn't know that. But their fry didn't have a great survival rate. About 30fry were had between all 6 if the females and just 3 healthy survived. The rest were weak and died quickly. I didn't hav this kind of thing happen with any of my guppy fry

Why is it that balloon mollies are sterile? I got 7 of them a while ago, I ended up wit 6 female and a male, all the females had babies for me recently

Very proud of my first two guppy fry I've ever had, getting bigger everyday, nearing 5months, coloring is coming along great. Have about 20 in total, (not all from one guppy mummy).

Well I see that all her fins are fanned out nice a big and she looking alert again. The tails will take a while to grow back, but u will notice them knitting back together slowly over the next few weeks

Oh I ment to say, she's looking much better now. Healthy again: :)

It's hard to tell. I only really know, just before she will give birth that day when her stomach will look boxy, squared off. Sometimes I've seen the outline of one of the fry, looks like a tiny ball shape protruding through the skin, usually very shortly after that mayb as soon as an hour she...

If they are improving with the medicine then mayb they don't need the salt, mayb after the treatment period is done u could add a little extra salt to aid the recover period. Glad everything is turning out well. I had a few disasters when I started out last year owning fish, and finding this...

I have a small tank full of fry at the moment, if I didn't take them out, the others would eat them on me. your little guy must be good at hiding. Also it's hard to tell if they get anything to eat, because they can't compete wit the larger fish

I tink if u can, u should take the little guy out

Yeah definitely fin rot, but acting fast can still save them. Do a big water change and add some medicine and salt. Follow the two or three day medicine instructions and then just keep the tank super clean until their tails recover so the bacteria can't take hold again during their recovery

U would prob notice differences in them each day. I watch my fish too, my husband thinks I'm mad haha, but apart from liking to watch what they're up to,I am also checking for any abnormal behaviour/disease, especially if I've introduced new fish to the tank. I'm paranoid about it now cause it...

It's hard to tell from just pics, if she does hav fin rot. She just may have torn her tail on something. Just monitor her, see if the tail or fins have any deterioration, then u would know for sure she has if she has it.
