She did get better. But I've noticed her poop is pale and grayish and hanging off of her. It's unusual for her.

A nice school of rummy nose tetras or neon tetras could also be fun. They have great personality and schooling behavior.

Personally I love platys. There are so many color variations and they get along with almost any fish. They eat everything and are pretty active. And if you get one it's be just fine. Not a fancy fish but a fun fish in my opinion.

Tetras are all schooling fish. You'll need more than one and I don't think you tank can accommodate that

This is great advice. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I'll definitely look into it.

I think my gold severum is constipated. It's belly is totally bloated and it's normally dark poop is a light grey color and not really coming out. And today it didn't attack the food as it normally does. What should I do?

Oh wow. I didn't realize it would cause mortality. In any case I took them out after a few minutes. I sunk the trap in the tank, giving the babies some place to hide. There just wasn't anywhere they could absolutely stay safe in the tank. Now at least they have a chance.

Thank you!

I just put my two pregnant platies in a nursery tank but I feel bad about the small space. Best I can tell they've been pregnant since about 4th of July. How long can they stay in the small space? How close are they to giving birth? Do they give birth all at once or are there still babies in...

Hi. I believe I have a murderer in my tank. I went to turn the lights on in the tank this morning and noticed one of my platy was dead and stuck in the roots of my plant. This was really surprising to me because he'd had no symptoms and had been totally fine and eating with everyone just the day...

Right now she's in a 10 gallon quarantine tank. My main tank is a 90 gallon with 40 small fish. I have mostly tetras, some otos and roseline shark.

Hi all. My little platy Coral is sick and I don't know what's wrong. She has been very reclusive the past week. At first I thought maybe she's pregnant and is trying to get that going but then I noticed that she would not eat. She took to hiding away at the top corner of the tank behind the...

Hi guys. This is my newly stocked 90 galling tank. As you might see in the picture my filter outlet is on top right and I have a powerhead at the top left of the tank. I have some platty, roseline sharks, oto, and two little severums in there. I was wondering what the appropriate amount and...

Hi. Anyone here in the Michigan Ann Arbor, Dearborn area? Do you guys know of a good fish store that I can check out? I'll be willing to drive for a couple hours even. Let me know. Thanks.

Yes the ammonia was added to cycle the tank before the fish.
