Well I guess I'm officially addicted to guppies. I wasn't quite so sure when I first tried them a few months back and had death after death. Found out we had ich, treated, and never had another death except with some fry. Now here I go not only getting about 20 fry to last but got about 20...

Well that makes sense. Thanks for clearing it. :-)

petsmart fish I was wondering. I didn't want to buy something that was unhealthy and I couldn't see! I thought they might be treating something and wondered if they had the dose right for the size if they were. Seems like an awful small size container to get a right size dose if you ask me.

I was looking in Petsmart the other day and I have a question about the condition of the Betta fish that I saw. They had them in their little containers like always but the water was like a blue color. It was dark enough to hardly be able to see the fish and you couldn't really tell what...

Yeah, i'll stick with the first bites/algae wafers for now. My older fry is teaching the younger ones how to eat. I ordered a mircoworm culture for $4 today. Seems a lot easier to raise the worms than the brine shrimp. Besides, i've got a few days before it arrives. Thanks for the advice! :D

I'm probably going to try mircoworms, since i've found cultures pretty cheap.

I love my bettas. My male and female get along perfectly. My tank is a 10gal, currently only has lucky bamboo. My bettas just had their second batch of fry, there was only a few survivors in the first batch, who are still tiny according to the growth chart. My fish are apparently REALLY picky...

I was wondering does anyone know how long it takes betta fry to actually start looking like a fish? My daughter's had her fry for quite awhile now and they are still sooo tiny and still for the most part don't look much different than when they were born. They were so small when they were...

Does anyone know what kind of stores might have replacement double light sockets for 10g tanks? My tank that's like 3-4 mos already rusted and had a pc of the socket rot & fall off now one side of the double socket doesn't work. I think I must've got a dud with this tank cause I had a problem...

I've been kind of watching them for that because when I first tried to put my little ones in with the surviving adults that I'd originally had the big HUGE female tried to chomp one. She's so big that she had just about the whole fish in her mouth at once. So back went the dividers. Then when...

So far as I keep looking I got a mix of orange tail w/white body (like the one mom), orange tailed leopard, and some that are black with orange leopard. Some are kind of just gray but I think those are too small to tell what they'll be yet? I really like the black and orange leopard looking...

I'm pretty sure they're the same batch. I had such bad luck at first with the guppies I bought I'm happy these ones are still here! I had 4 guppies (2F&2M) left and got 1 batch a week before the next batch was born and moved them to separate containers so I'm assuming that they're 2 batches...

I succeeded in getting my fry to develop and graduate to a 10g tank. Yippie! But I am now wondering why the guppy sizes range so much since they were all the same batch. I got what I consider almost full size, medium, small, and EXTRA small. Is it like any other living being and they have...

Fry have stopped dying I decided to try putting all the batch of guppy fry that were born together back into the same dish to see if that would help. I think it actually did either that or the larger bowl I am using did. Maybe there were still too many to the small size I had or they just...

fish personalities I used to have a betta that I could feed flake food by hand. Swim right up and take it. But knowing the more expert people they wouldn't be impressed by this but being a newbie I actually LOVED it. :-)
