I hope you are right Zags. That would be exciting! :D

she does look different than normal. The eggs are a little larger and more noticeable. there are little black dots in them too. I hope it's something as simple as the eggs getting ready to be released. I haven't lost any of my tetra yet and don't want to start now. :(

anyone?

so you know, I made a mistake on the labeling of the first picture. it said the "right" was the sick one and the "left" was normal. That's backwards. I'm worried about the one on the left. I've already changed it. Sorry for the mix up!

1~What type of fish is afflicted? 1 out of my 6 xray tetra. I believe it is a female. The females always have had a mas of peach colored tiny round things that take up half of the inside of their body. I think they are eggs? I noticed today that the "eggs" on this one look strange. There are...

Those sites seem to have only fish supplies. I want to buy live plants, driftwood, and fish online since the only store near me is Petsmart and they don't have very many choices. I'd rather shop at somewhere that specializes in selling and shipping fish and plants. I was thinking of...

yeah. I'll take a look at those

What is good online store that I can buy some plants, driftwood, and preferably fish, also? What are the stores I need to avoid? I'd really like the convenience of buying everything at the same time from the same place.

Thanks gheitman. That's exactly the type of reply I was looking for. new2betas: yes, please do tell us how it is, when you get it! I'll be waiting for your reply. :)

you don't get the meds the same day if you order online. I lost my betta because it was nighttime when I noticed that he was sick and he died overnight. That's why I'd like to have a few common medications at home for when I need them.

I can't drive yet so I rely on my parents if I find out my fish are sick.. I'd rather have a few things at home cause my mom doesn't really want anything to do with the fish. lol that include driving me to the store.

I just have some rid-ich for when I thought my fish had ich. I never actually ended up using it. That was when I first started my aquarium and didn't really know much. lol

What medications and brands do you recommend keeping on stand-by in a freshwater fish first aid kit? What brands do you buy?

haha nah I wouldn't be mad at you, just dissapointed. But trust me, I wouldn't do something if majority of people tell me it's not going to work or the fish wouldn't be able to live happily. But yes I'm very glad it could work in my situation. :)

haha Andrew I'm the same way. I've been doing research forever looking for a/some fish to add to my tank. I've been looking in petsmart (only store near me :/) and reading online but still can't really decide.. bs: I like your answer! :) I'm really liking the idea of an angel
