One thing I've noticed that is different, is that she swims on a bit of a slant. I assumed it's just from being so big and pregnant. As I've heard it could make it harder for them to swim..? It doesn't affect her swimming at all, she's just a little slanted lol. It's more like a lean.. I've...

Scales look firmly flush and intact.. a while back when we hit a heat wave my tank temp spiked, I got it down quickly as soon as I noticed but she did develop clamped fins and went pretty pale, lethargic etc. She's since been fine, that was at least a few weeks back and she seems to be 100%...

I have thought about that also, getting more females. I haven't settled on it yet though lol. I wish I could attach photos without URL, the way I have her birthing box set up, is right beside the filter outtake. The water flow runs right along side of the birthing box and the floaters are...

Right, so I've done all that. I had her in a 5 gallon tank with 2 male guppies, one died shortly after I got him so there was just the 2 for a while. Once the mama got bigger I moved the guppy out, he kept chasing her and nipping at her butt, assuming still trying to mate. So I moved him...

It's really not a question if.. she IS for sure pregnant. She's huge, and her gravid spot is about as huge as she is, and protruding. She's been this way for weeks upon weeks. I only know the parameters that my master test kit tells me lol. My Ph is always around 7. It'll float between 6.8 and...

I had her in the tank alone for almost 3 weeks. I took the others out and put them into the community tank. And still no fry. There was only one guppy in the tank with her, and 3 cardinal tetras that basically just do their own thing. It's possible she dropped some and ate them I suppose.. I've...

I've looked over other threads and have done everything I can think of to get this girl to drop her fry.. It's been MONTHS since she was first showing signs of pregnancy. Now she's huge, squared and her gravid spot keeps getting bigger. I've redone her tank with plants, I've made sure the...

It really sounds like you crashed your cycle.. you should never clean plants, substrate etc... vacuuming gravel and water changes should really be the only hard-core cleaning you do inside the tank after its been cycled. Water changes don't ultimately effect your cycle because the water column...

So I'm Brandy, new to the fish world. I got into the hobby suddenly when a friend gave me some endlers and I had no idea what I was doing. I bought a tank, threw them in and well.... I'm sure we all know the outcome lol. They all died, except one had fry and they were all eaten (had no idea...
