2 months ago I bought 2 kuhliis, 4 various corys and 5 female platys. A week later a little kuhlii died. The other has been surviving and is getting big. About a month ago I started to lose corys. My 2 spotted corys died within a week of each other. They were big when I got them so I thought...

I finally did it. I moved my only male swordtail into a 2 gallon tank all by himself. I know that probably sounds cruel to some but he was real mean to all my fish. I've had him for over a year and he was slowly killing off the other males species in my tank, I was down to 4 corys and of course...

I took a silk plant leaf with eggs on it and put them into the plastic breeder tank. It is 6" X 7" in size with about 5 !/2" of water inside. In the breeder tank I added the aquarium water they came from and put an air stone in with light aeration and nothing is at the bottom. The breeder tank...

I have no snails in my tank and never have. Hopefully they are cory eggs. Any advice on how to keep them alive when I remove them from the tank? I have a clear plastic hangon breeder box I can put in the tank. Will they need air bubbles or would that be too strong for babies? Or should I just...

Hi, Its been so long since I have visited this forum as everything has been going well. About two weeks ago I found something in my tank. We thought maybe they are fish eggs. They are tiny, round, pale clear in color, and after examining them with my magnifying glass the appear to have a tiny...

Just wanted to say HELLO to everyone and I'm back. I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to visit the forum. I really missed it. I've had so much good luck with my aquarium the last two months. Not a single problem. I must be doing something right. I haven't added any new fish, I'm...

Hi 3Corsameals. This forum has helped me so much. I set up my first tank in May 2003. It kept me very busy with keeping it clean and worring that everything was alright. Had some sick fish that died or survived, and about a month ago Ich. That was the worse for my tank. Now things are more calm...

I started my tank in May 2003. And I also was anxious but took my time setting up and introducing my fish. I still lost some. One of my very first fish has been in my tank for 4 months now. About a month ago I introduced Ich into my 29 gal tank by adding and not quarentining 3 bleeding heart...

Well the Ich spots are all gone on my bleding heart tetra and I don't see any of my other fish coming down with it. I'll still use Rid Ich for about 3 more days and then do a good cleaning and water change. I did loose all three of my new tetras during this(they were the ones with Ich), the last...

I also agree with everyone, buy books and also explore the internet. Do as much research as possible before adding fish. There is a lot more involved than just adding water, decorations and fish. It can also be quite expensive to start an aquarium.

Atreides, Don't be too hard on yourself. I did weeks of research before getting my fish and am still learning from others especially on this forum. I did a fishless cycle for one week and had also added 4 cups of gravel/water from a relatives healthy tank. I was also anxious to add fish also but...
