Go native, some Blue Fin Killies-get a big school, Golden Topwater Minnows and maybe a crayfish or two. You can also add least killies and even darters if you don't have crayfish. Johna's Aquarium should give you a good idea what is out there. That Majic Guy on Aquabid has great natives so...

Go natural. No scuba guys or skulls please.

Welcome, you are truely one of us now. I know the feeling as I have almost 40 tanks and in summer use kiddie pools and stock vats for fish.

That roundish thing coming from the anus? Yes

Take a water reading from the bottom by using a piece of airline tubing with your thumb over the top end. Likely something down there. Also you need 5-6 of each cory to make them comfortable.

Excellent. Whats going in it besides water?

First, if you raise the temp to about 80f and keep the lights on 24/7 it will speed up the gustation process. I don't recommend leaving the lights on like that for more than a few weeks. Secondly, yes a growout tank is necessary. If you want to save fry and have a place for them to growout...

That tank is WAY TOO SMALL for those fish. Don't know if they are yours but if so let them go.

Small Blue Alleni 1"-1 1/2" $17 shipped or 2 @ $25 shipped Young adults 2"-3" $22 shipped We also have Marble Crayfish ASK I keep these in my livebearer tanks without incident. I don't cover my tanks and have only had one escape out of hundreds raised. P.M. with questions.

I work with several types of crayfish and am looking for colorful, dwarfs or extra large species to expand to. Here in the midwest, our crayfish are drab green or brown and nothing write home about. First, don't do anything illegal, here you just need a fishing license unless you're...

Go with pots of gravel. Keeps things really tidy if you siphon waste daily and adds micro organizams for fry to eat along with bbs or what ever else you're feeding

Likely. How long have you had them? I ask because if you have owned them less than 90 days some other livebearer could have tapped your female.

Anyone have experince with these guys??????????????????? Need a heads up, time sensetive!!!!!!!! Thanks and Merry Christmas
