I never could tell which was which. I just knew I had one male and one female. I knew because they would lay eggs and do the "breeding dance." Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna go to the store Friday and I'll get one. Thank you again! :)

60 gallons

I had 2 hand sized Blood Parrot Fish. One of them passed away. I want to get another one but the larger ones are $25 at Petsmart. I don't want to spend that much money on a fish. The 2 were best friends and the one left is depressed. I want to get a smaller one but I don't know if they will...

Ok, thanks for the advice.

Hey, I was wondering if it would be okay to put a male betta into my 60 gallon tropical community tank (freshwater). In the tank I have blood parrots, a blue gourami, sunburst wag platies, a pleco, and dalmatian mollies. I am doing a science experiment ( a Eco-column) with one and I don't know...

Thanks for the help Hey guys, I'd just thought I'd let you know that he is happy and healthy again. Thanks for all the help!! :)

Now that is night time, I have checked on him. Like I said, he is acting sick again. But not as bad as the last couple of nights. He is hiding in his cave with his friend (my other blood parrot). He usually is pale and his gills are a pinkish color. But that's what usually happens at night. He...

Some what. Only a little though. During today's water change I took all the decor out a rinsed them off in hot water. I did a light gravel vac through out the tank. Hopefully that will help. He seemed to be doing fine when I got done. But he is worse at night and fine during the day so I'll see...

Usually I do a water change once a week. But now that he is sick, I have done everyday for the past couple days (as directed previously)

No he doesn't have a bloated stomach and there are no white dots. He's not swimming vertical, he sits up against the tank wall vertically. Some times he'll swim on his side. I'll try giving him some peas. I have some Ich Attack, is that what u mean? I've added that as directed on the bottle. I...

I am using the API master test kit. I don't know how but I've only seen nitrates when I was cycling the tank. Like I said with my old tank, which I've had of over 2 yrs, I have never seen nitrates in that tank. Yes it was heavily planted but it was artificial plants. I've never had real plants...

I did, I bought some aquarium salt and some ich attack. They seem fine. I have done everything else I can i to cure them. I am not buying any new fish until I know for sure I have gotten rid of it. I guess I'll have to wait a few days.

Never mind, he died already. :(

I recently had a pictus catfish die due to ich. Now my blood parrot fish is acting funny. He lays on his side at the bottom of the tank, he is a pale color, and sometimes he sits vertical against some plants or under my decor. He looks fine doesn't appear to be infected with ich. And he is...

Hey, I have a pictus catfish that is full grown. Yesterday I noticed he wasn't moving around as much. Today I saw that he had white spots on him. I think it's ich. :( I raised the temp in the tank, raised the aeration in the tank and just did a water change/gravel vac. But the weird thing is...
