Hello again, So after this post, I COMPLETELY restarted my tank, I got rid of the fish, all the gravel, all the water, new filter, got rid of the decorations, etc. I also scrubbed the walls of the tank and then dumped boiling water into the tank and cycled the tank again. So when the tank was...

Hey! I've been watching my mosquito fish and she's been getting a lot bigger. I think she's about to drop, but does she look boxed off? Thanks! She's been looking like this for 2 days, when do you think she should drop? I really want to see the fry being born! Thanks soo much!!

I got a 10 gallon, cycled tank a week ago. It's had one tiny little fish in it and this morning it had like 10 of these thick, white worms. I've seen the common thin, clear worms that come out when there is too much waste, but these worms are different. They stick to the glass and can move very...

Hey, I found this fish at my lfs in with the feeder goldfish. I thought it was a feeder guppy. Then I noticed that there were no guppies at the store so I thought that was odd. Could it be a minnow or another breed? It's quite large compared to my other guppies. And it tends to swim quickly near...

Hey! So I've had a 10g tank that's been set up for 5 months. I started out with 2 females and 1 male. The fish were extremely healthy and active but none of the females ever looked pregnant or had fry despite the male mating. So after 3 months of no success, I got a new group of 2 females and...

Hello! Sorry about all my threads, but I restarted my tank! I'm really exited about this group of fish, they all have great coloring! But I've had terrible luck with predicting pregnancies and always miss when they drop so can someone tell me when my females look like they are going to drop...

Hello, I got a couple ghost shrimp yesterday, and I noticed one of them had a HUGE bundle of eggs. In a panic, I put her in a tiny little fish bowl. I woke up this morning and there were at least 40 (probably more) little almost microscopic shrimp and the mom was still giving birth. What should...

Hey, so about 2 months ago, one of my fish started showing signs of bad Camallanus worms, I've been trying every cure possible, but they aren't working. It's taken almost 2 months for them to start affecting the visible health of my fish, and now she's hiding and looking lethargic. And the worms...

Hello, I need some African dwarf frogs or other invertebrates that are very hardy. I've kept African dwarf frogs for several years before, but are they tropical? I already have a tropical tank but what temperature are they best at? And are there any other easy to keep invertebrates

Hello, So I'm really hoping that my young female guppy is starting to develop a regular pregnancy cycle; I've had her for about 3 months and it was full of really confusing "pregnancies". So when does it look like my female will drop? This would help so much because I don't have much...

Hey, I've noticed for awhile that both my female guppies had these little red threads moving in and out of their vent (errm anal opening?) at first I thought it was just normal before they pooed but then I noticed that they moved. I did lots of research and they seem to be Callamanus worms for...

Hey, I just became a member as I'm getting into guppy breeding and I'm going to need a lot of help! I have a GORGEOUS male with a matching cobra female and a blonde female so I'm really exited!! But can someone tell me if they look pregnant and what stage? Thanks soo much, I'm having problems...

Sorry I know there are a lot of these topics but I'm really having problems seeing if they are pregnant! I have 2 females, a cobra grey and a blonde. The grey I always can never tell and then I've never had a blonde guppy before, she has a orange gravid spot but only on one side she has a bit of...

Hi! I've bred guppies in the past and I've had guppies for about 2-3 months now since I've started again. I have a 15 gallon tank with 2 females and one beautiful male and they have been clearly mating. One of my females (grey snakeskin) started having a gravid spot like 32 days ago and she...
