Hey there! I've had this tank a couple years. It's a 40 gallon with lava rocks, wood, live plants, sand, and fish (corydoras, otos, dwarf loaches, yoyo loaches, and tetras). All the fish are fine, the plants are generally fine as long as I keep them pruned. The problem is I can never manage the...

If Fish Don't Have Souls, Neither Do We. I love this idea! Here's my story: I've had corydoras for a couple years now, and no two are ever the same type. :fish1: I had an emerald cory that I called "Mama White", because she was the largest of the bunch and seemed to almost be like a mentor or...

It's been a super long time since I've posted a thread. All my fish have been fine until recently. I had a Siamese Algae Eater for a little while. Suddenly he developed a swelling on the left side of his face. It was red and centered just below the eye, causing the eye itself to also be...

Yes, that is exactly[/I][/I] what mollies are like; and no, you can get any color you'd like! :flowers:

Mollies are very easy to breed. :fish2: Most basic fact is getting at least one male and two preferably three females in a tank of 20 gallons or more. What questions did you have? What do you need to know? :flowers:

I am lucky enough to have a pet store that gives me store credit for mine. When she doesn't have room however, Petco takes them as a donation, and when they sell them, the money is donated to help animals in need. :flowers:

Oh yes :thumb: You are correct about the genders, and yes, the black Molly is enjoying himself :cool: If you plan on getting another female, good on you. If not, I would recommend doing so, because you leave dalmatian Molly will get stressed out by him sooner than later. Be prepared for many...

Do the sidthimunki botia loaches eat snails, or just the ones 3" and bigger? :confused:

The only thing that may come up between them is mollies tend to nip at long fins, which as far as I remember angels have. :ermm:

Not the way she is acting. :nono: As cramped as it may be, it would be better for her to be cramped with another female for a month than alone with a male for that time.

That explains it. The males are very stress-inducing to females with their constant need for mating. Usually when getting mollies, you try to get three females for one male, at minimum two females. She is stressed out, and has claimed that corner as her "safe place." Best course is to replace...

Are both of the mollies female?

How many other fish and what kinds do you have in the 29 gallon, Luvr?

I have a forty gallon tank with a pond snail problem. It started with ONE from a live plant I had shipped in and now I'm up to 50+ in only a few weeks! I've been removing them manually, but they repopulate fast due to the algae growth I have. As a natural fix I'm thinking of adding dwarf...

What RetiredJedi says is also correct with mollies. This has happened to me a few times in different ways. When I got my black Molly, he was solid black. Since then he has developed a pretty line of reflective blue along the edge of his back fin. When I had a large group of their babies, they...

Thank you Fishenthusiast :flowers: I'm not familiar with the term photoperiod, so I'm not exactly sure, but my LEDs are on from sunrise to sunset. I use API root tabs once a month and API leaf zone once a week. I don't dose co2. Would the sterilizer harm my other plants? :confused:

Hello! I had a crazy algae bloom in my 50 gallon freshwater tank almost three weeks ago. I know it's algae because when turning my LEDs to only white the fog shines green. I have plants, corydoras, mollies, and otos. The mollies aren't eating at the glass build up and the four Otis aren't...

Hello everyone! :flowers: I have a shoal of corydoras. The largest female passed away recently due to bacterial infection. While she was sick she would place herself underneath certain leaves up against the glass to keep her from floating at the top. Right now my albino cory (believed to be...

Hello Anastasia! Hope your day was well :flowers: Had a bit of a runaround today. The place I was told would do it ended up will only do it for businesses that are pre-approved so no go there. However, I did just get a confirmation of a different place that will. Still have to get the price but...

Sorry for being late, Anastasia. I got home late for me and super late for you. A lot of places wouldn't ship live fish, but I was able to find one that will! Unfortunately they were closed early (pre-Easter) before I could get there for pricing. I will be able to stop by there after work...

:thumb: Oh I know. I'm building up to a shoal in my 40gallon right now.

I don't personally know about the parameters of some of the fish, but if you wish mollies to be your main focus, the minimum number is 2 females 1male and with a 20 gallon you won't be able to do more mollies than that cause its the minimum size tank for them (especially with the many many...

I'm off work on Saturday. I'll be able to find out shipment stuff then for you. :cool:

:confused: Really? Are you sure? It's gonna be pretty expensive. How many were you thinking of getting?

Get API ich medication and treat the whole tank. Follow the instructions exactly and as quickly as possible. :fish2:
