    Feeding peas and a case of dropsy

    Okay, so I went out and got the exact test kit you showed me. The pH was 8.0 The ammonia was 0.50ppm and the nitrites are 0ppm So I did probably a 40% water change added some pH down. Will water changes help with the ammonia? And how long should I wait it before I test again? And also...

    Feeding peas and a case of dropsy

    [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][/Font Okay so some of my mollies are a little bloated and when they poop it just like a clear string. I fed them 3 thawed squished peas with the shell, because I wasn't sure if I leave the shell or not. I was wondering do I need to remove the pea shell? And how often...

    Pregnant Mollies!?

    Okay so I got these little cuties Friday. And two of the females are way "bigger" than when I got them. One is a lot plumper than the other, maybe she's farther along? From research I did I think they may be pregnant. I was hoping someone on here with experience with mollies could help me and...

    Fiddlers eating fish?

    Molting or dying Fiddler?

    Yeah, it was late but that's fine. My little girl didn't make it. I know that the hardness was really low. I've been working on trying to raise it. But I'm not sure how. Another thing I think was wrong was in their pervious tank I had WAY to much salt for them (unaware my hydrometer was broke)...

    Molting or dying Fiddler?

    Okay so I'm really worried about my female Fiddler crab. This morning when I woke up she appeared to be dead. But I'm new to this molting thing and just want to be sure. When I woke up and looked into the tank she was kind of in the open and is now laying on her back. The legs are sticking up...
