Got 2 guppies almost about to give birth. Can I put the females in a small tank by themselves and cover the floor with java moss so when the babies are born they will fall into the moss instead of getting eaten or being born in a breeder box. Would this work or should i do something else? Thanks.

Thanks I've taken them out and asked my friend ( an expert) (13 and offered a job at the local aquarium) and he reckons they have two weeks.

Not sure, don't think the one at the bottom is but the one at the top might be. Look for a dark spot (gravid spot) in the lower middle of their bodies. Maybe images from the back would be better.

Also Ithink the one at the front is too but I'm not sure

Another image

The Yellow/Orange Guppy at the back is pregnant, I know the image isn't that good (iPad2) but how pregnant would you say she was (round about)?

I change my filter: Pads Foam and carbon every 4 months and do a 30% water change every week

Agreed

I have a 25 gallon tank with about 30 fish in it including 2 platies. Don't worry another 2 platies won't hurt.

I am getting some peppermint plecos but I can't get any information on them off the Internet. Some basic info would be great

I have just sone a 40% water change added a half dose of alkaline buffer a turned all the lights off except for 1 a UV light and all the fish started swimming around and are really happy. I have to Ph testers. 1 says that it is 6.8 and another says 7.2.

My tap water is 7.1 ph. 0 nitrate 0 nitrite, 1.0ppm ammonia and I did not cycle my tank.

I have a carbon filter designed to absorb ammonia. Would that also be absorbing the ph up chemicals I use?

I do 15% every week

I have a 3 week old 25 gallon tank. My Ph is at 4.5 and the guy at the aquarium said that it will just take some time to stabilize bit the problem is that it is so bad that fish are dying. I really need some good ideas. I am adding Ph up.
