Well.. but its the babies that were born in my tank that are mating with the guppies.... And they are all suspiciously a mix color of black and gold.. So I just assumed they were offspring of the 2 (black molly/gold platy)... But also, there are many of these females that are offspring and...

Thanks for the answers! Hmm... I was really kind of expecting everyone to say I was imagining things.. But since you seem to think it could be possible, let me go into a little detail.. The male is a black molly for sure. The female he first bred with I thought was a gold molly.. but Im...

Hello everyone! Stupid question #1: Can mollies breed with platies? I think mine have, but Ive read some things that say they 'cant'. Stupid question #2: Can fancy guppies breed with platies or mollies? My fancy guppies have been mating with my platies and my females dont seem to mind at...

You know, this happened to one of mine.... actually I think it mayhave happened to 2. They both died a few weeks after I noticed it....... :( Course, yours might have something different...but Im curious to know what other people think it is. I couldnt find any info that cleared it up for me...

I have 2 pandas, 2 big duplics and 2 sterbai. From looks alone, I think the sterbais are cutest. But my pandas are the friendliest - when i am cleaning the tank and have my hands down near the gravel they come over and swim in circles aroung my hands - its cute. but the duplics just look so cool...

Ive got some molly fry that is about 3 weeks old right now - they are gold with black spots on their bodies and fins - and the black spots were visible from the first day I spotted them (i beleive they were not more than 2 days old at the time). the mother is gold and the father is black - so...

I toss in algae wafers for my pleco and the cories dont seem to mind eating them every now and then - and my pleco flies over to them and shoos them off her food! the cories do seem to prefer the sinking pellets more though, im my tank, anyway.

Ive had 2 pandas since the start of my tank. (a few died along the way..) I decided to get some big cory duplics (they are like 4 times the size...they are really big!! ) and 2 sterbais that are mid sized. at first the 4 new guys wanted to search out the tank and play in the water current...

anyone?? in case the question is fuzzy - im asking if the frozen krill could have been damaging to the digestive tracts of my fish - i read something about the spikes being a problem while digesting. and then i thought maybe my fish are too small to be eating krill... JBL makes this 20%...

I bought some frozen krill today at my lfs. its basically these cubes full of them. you can thaw em and drop in in. my serpaes went nuts. little piranahs they were...! and my balck molly and clown loaches were crazy about them too. and then i was reading something about krill/flake mixtures...

sorry about your fishy.. :cry:

yeah, those 2 are for sure both males...and they are buddies...but i thought maybe they are ok with each other beacuse the others might not be female swords...so maybe they dont feel like they need to compete. but thats just one theory. and as far as the it doesnt matter ---- it does to me!! I...

ocarbreeder - the first photo does? or do you mean the second one..cause the second one is labeled as being a molly... the first is my fishy... you think my fishy is a molly? (im kind of with you, if you say yes...but im the least knowledgeble fish owner on this site... :wink: )

newaridiar - i understand what you are saying - but im not concerned with them interbreeding. i just want to know what i have in my tank. and like i said - all of these fish (including the black molly) were ALL labled as platies in the store. I just want to know what they really are... thanks...

Thanks for all the ideas so far! I saw a photo of a marigold swordtail and I was thinking that she might just be that... and then i saw this photo of a gold molly... do you all think they look alike?? edited to say oops they called this one albino....but same question..!
