My Platy had babies. Like always I missed the birth and didn't realize she was ready to give birth, especially since I just got her last week and she didn't look that big or squared off. . Now the fun begins trying to find them.

They will love the new food. I went from feeding mine flakes to my homemade gel food. They are going bonkers over it.

My tank looked horrible, so we just pulled out the plants and added fresh substrate on the existing on and put in new plants. The fish were still in the tank and it was funny how they all went to one side, but they are so much happier now with their new tank. Another thing that's really strange...

Dimensions 9.5 x 15 I guess I should have mentioned that.

I'm a woman and I say go for it. just buy her a designer purse or something else she likes. After that she shouldn't have a problem with you having to many tanks (if there is something called too many)

I know a 5 gain is small but I have a 60,20, and 10 in use. I had this for my betta and I don't have much luck with them. I want to try this one out with live plants and was hoping for some type of stocking ideas. No Berta's please. Do you think I can put 6 neons in there?

I feed my goldfish gel food mostly consisting of babyfood (mixed veggies) and sardines. Can I make gel food for my neon tetras? If so any recommendations.

I recently purchased a 5 gallon tank that housed my platy fry, who I had to pull out of the main tank due to a costia infestation during their birth. I was afraid of putting them in my other 5 gallon fry tank, so I ran out and purchased one. I put in my cycled media from an existing healthy...

I am expecting my new fish to arrive in the next few days. My QT tank is up, heater is going and I will be putting in my filter media from my cycled tank before they arrive. My question is, should I treat these new fish as if they have parasites and fungus along with feeding them anti-parasitic...

I found an amazing fish on aquariumfish.net, and I was just wondering before I order it, if anyone had ordered from them before? I was trying to find reviews for this company, however the only one I could find was on another forum and they didn't discuss if the fish were quality, just the...

I had a QT tank when I started this hobby, but it soon turned into a display tank. I never had a problem in the 20 some odd years I've been keeping fish and personally I thought it was a waste of money to have a QT/Hospital tank. Well, the tides have changed, since this past Sunday. I purchased...

I'm getting ready to stock my 20 gallon, and I would love some ideas on what to stock. I was thinking about getting a: Licorice Gourami (I'm not a fan of the Gourami, but this looks really cool) Cardinal Tetras Black Neon Tetras and several platy fry will be moved in there once they are...

I have the 60 gallon marineland that included the stand and everything. I got it on sale for $239. I think the regular price was $399. it is an awesome tank! You should go to petsmart.com and read the reviews on each of the tanks to help you make in informed decision.

Barry white....that's funny. My male just chases the female. She goes right, he goes right, she goes left, he goes left. she runs away from him, he follows her.

Some platys get really fat and others don't. When mine had 18 fry, she wasn't big at all, but this past week, she dropped 35 and was so fat I thought she was going to explode. Since your platy is light colored, you can see all the little black eyes. Good luck on being a GrandPlaty!
