Go native, some Blue Fin Killies-get a big school, Golden Topwater Minnows and maybe a crayfish or two. You can also add least killies and even darters if you don't have crayfish. Johna's Aquarium should give you a good idea what is out there. That Majic Guy on Aquabid has great natives so...

Go natural. No scuba guys or skulls please.

Welcome, you are truely one of us now. I know the feeling as I have almost 40 tanks and in summer use kiddie pools and stock vats for fish.

That roundish thing coming from the anus? Yes

Take a water reading from the bottom by using a piece of airline tubing with your thumb over the top end. Likely something down there. Also you need 5-6 of each cory to make them comfortable.

Excellent. Whats going in it besides water?

First, if you raise the temp to about 80f and keep the lights on 24/7 it will speed up the gustation process. I don't recommend leaving the lights on like that for more than a few weeks. Secondly, yes a growout tank is necessary. If you want to save fry and have a place for them to growout...

That tank is WAY TOO SMALL for those fish. Don't know if they are yours but if so let them go.

Small Blue Alleni 1"-1 1/2" $17 shipped or 2 @ $25 shipped Young adults 2"-3" $22 shipped We also have Marble Crayfish ASK I keep these in my livebearer tanks without incident. I don't cover my tanks and have only had one escape out of hundreds raised. P.M. with questions.

I work with several types of crayfish and am looking for colorful, dwarfs or extra large species to expand to. Here in the midwest, our crayfish are drab green or brown and nothing write home about. First, don't do anything illegal, here you just need a fishing license unless you're...

Go with pots of gravel. Keeps things really tidy if you siphon waste daily and adds micro organizams for fry to eat along with bbs or what ever else you're feeding

Likely. How long have you had them? I ask because if you have owned them less than 90 days some other livebearer could have tapped your female.

Anyone have experince with these guys??????????????????? Need a heads up, time sensetive!!!!!!!! Thanks and Merry Christmas

Nice looking good work

Welcome and great idea to keep things cool as needed. Post up if you decide to branch out a bit. People here have all kinds of knowledge and ideas best of all it is free.

Welcome. I answered your question on the P.M. Folks here have a lot of knowledge and if you have questions please ask.

I need a bunch of clean up guys cheap. Let me know what you have and how much you want. I'm not apposed to nice shrimp but won't pay a premium price. Can trade Endlers or swords/ PM me

I'd concur with the above. I would also add a flower pot or smooth rock to increase biofilm forage space. I'd also add some java moss as the shrimp love it and it will be an active gathering point for cleaning the strands.

The estimates look accurate. Go with the shellies. I'd go with 6-8 to start and as long as filtration is good and you do weekly water changes 15% or more you can get upto 15-18 shellies in there safely. Just an FYI, I use 2 male endlers as ditherfish so the shellies have other things to...

Having a big weather change?

Yes that will work, but up the cories to at least 5. You may also want to add a small school or tetras or rasboras. Just make sure to stay away from fin nippers. I'd go with 6 Peguin Tetras.

Welcome, this is the palce to ask questions and learn. Lots of super knowledgable folks here

First clean the tank with bleach water-wear plastic gloves. Scrub, rinse air dry. Fill to about 6", check the plugs and they likely will hold. If so don't add the gravel until 3/4 full just in case. Then add gravel. Filters, ask me again after you get some other replies-I'm an odd duck...

No that is not normal. The males should swx out soon. It really depends on tank / rearing conditions and food to say how large they should be and whe they likely sex out. Don't give up it will happen. Quick note: I use live baby brine shrimp and golden pearls 100-200 microns so my fish grow...

Depending on where and how you obtained the adults may determine if the male is the father or not. Platys will breed with who ever if mixed in a tank.
