Female carrying eggs, ready to separate her in her own ten gallon tank what are any special accomodations i should provide?

2 of my tetras are much larger than the rest, the black neon in the upper right hand corner and there is clearly a larger serpae tetra in the school.

i have an already established 20 gallon tall planted, and ive gotten all my endlers out finally and was wondering if anyone had ideas of what to put in. Right now there is 2 XL tetras in there and a fish i cant identify, lots of snails, and shrimp. ANY IDEAS WHAT I SHOULD GET?

I was thinking of getting an additional tank, upwards of 40 gallons and i was thinking of what substrate i should use. I know it will be a planted tank and i was wondering if sand is at all a possibility. I have only been familiar with straight gravel or eco-complete and i would like to know a...

Thanks, i will try the bottle method. i really didnt want to set a predatory fish loose in my tank anyway, i just didnt figure there was an easy way to trap them. I will give that a try.

I am sick of having endlers livebearers in my 20 gal tall. It is moderately planted and has ghost shrimp and lots of snails, and i dont want to destroy my tank in the process of removing these fish that are reproducing extremely quick. Is there any fish that i could put in there that would eat...

So my brother and i had a tube of silicone, a 5 gal bucket, pvc, and lots of left over tubing and this pond was in desperate need of a new filter so we decided to try and make our own. It has a pump in the pond, then the water runs through a UV sterilizer and into the bucket filled with bio...

Found this fish living in my pond a while back, he must have gotten mixed in with a batch of feeder guppies we picked up to feed our bass, bluegill and crappie. he was fast enough to avoid getting eaten, and now he is doing fine in my tropical community tank, so i guess he does okay in cold and...

I just got home and he was dead =(. I am hoping this is an isolated incident since all my other fish seem to be doin fine, but im gonna get my water tested asap.

He is with another serpae, a neon tetra and about 15 endlers. the tank never gets above 80 and nvr below 75. it was tap water and i added some amquel to dechlorinate. It was the first time a fish of mine has reacted to a water change.

large serpae tetra swimming weird and upside down. he will sometimes lay on the bottom but is still breathing. happened just after a water change,. also he will swim straight up and down. any ideas???

i have a 20 gal tall community tank in progress with 2 serpae tetras and 1 black neon tetra, and about 10 endlers. I also have a quite a few red ramshorns that seem to be reproducing, but will tetras eat the snail eggs or tiny snails? i have seen them nip at them a few times and im not sure if...

Hey everyone. Im kinda new to the hobbie of fish keeping. I sorta fell into this by accident; my friend, my brother and I were keeping local freshwater fish in our pond (bass, bluegill, and crappie) because we felt it was a better enviornment than the hole they came from. Then we decided in our...
