No the tank is in a pretty similar place to where it was in the old apartment. I've always kept the temperature at 80 degrees. I keep a close eye on the ph, ammonia and other levels have remained normal aside from the minor ammonia rises from when the other fish died. And yes I keep my mollys in...

Okay so it's been awhile since I've asked for help and I was hoping to get some more feed back this time. I'm posting a photo of some of the snails this time to maybe someone knows what kind they are? This is about a 2 inch section of some of my driftwood. It's like this all over the tank. But...

Okay so I moved a couple months ago and and my fish have been acting weird ever sence, I used to have 7 mollys and I lost 4 of them about 3 weeks after the move, all I could think of was it was stress because I was frequently checking the water and salinity levels and everything was next to...

Idk were else they would have come from. It's crazy there's gotta be like 100 brand new baby snails in there. I have 4 mollys and a Violet Goby

Ok so I thought I was done ever worrying about snails when I got rid of my live plants 3 months ago. I think that the frozen Mysis Shrimp I bought to feed my fish was harboring a bunch of snail eggs, that is the only thing I can think of that would cause this problem. I went to go turn off the...

So I have a 29g tropical brackish water tank with 6 mollies and a Violet Goby. No live plants I gave up on that after my Java ferns died. We're going to be moving in the next couple weeks just a couple miles down the road and was hoping to get some tips. I know I'll have to empty out the tank...

you can see the black spots better in this photo :fish2:

We got this molly about 3-4 months ago, about a week or two after we got it her stomach started to grow so I figured that we must have gotten a pregnant fish. The thing is she hasn't given birth yet and I thought mollies were only supposed to be pregnant for 2 months max. She has also recently...

Yes, mollys are extremely adaptable fish. They can handle both straight fresh water and salt it's just they are better off in brackish.

Well the mollys I have only have a year left to live before they die of old age and they've been happy together in this tank with no signs of aggression they were also really happy in the the 20g tank I had before this one, only reason I upgraded is because I wanted another fish.

BBradbury- that would actually be really interesting to see, I've had 4 of my mollys for a year now and they are just over 2.5 inches. My largest one is probably barely 3. And like I said reducing the salt would be just fine for the mollys, when I first got them I kept them inow fresh water for...

Well that would work for my Molly's it wouldn't work for my Violet Goby, right now they're all in a 29g tank. I think you might be mixing up mollys with a different fish, mollys only grow to be 2-3 inches long. My goby however is 4 inches long now and will grow to be 12, but my mollys should be...

Hey so I've been planting my tank since I got it. I never had any problems with my first batch of plants before I started adding salt to my water (I have mollys which I learned can survive in fresh water but are happier in brackish water) all the plants I had before quickly died after that, so I...

Yeah my hands have a tendency to shake a lot when I'm measuring things so trying to get an equal amount of something with out a teaspoon is rough, and I don't have a 1/8tsp measure. I'll try freezing then then and see how my fish like it. Hopefully save some money to since the brine shrimp...

Has anyone had any luck with freezing them? I don't have a measuring spoon under 1/4 of a teaspoon and that even seems to be too much

Okay so I have been feeding my fish brine shrimp for a while and I switched to feeding them live brine shrimp, my problem is that I always end up hatching way more than my fish will eat. So now I have all of these questions about these small little creatures. How long can baby brine shrimp live...

I feed my fish up to 3x a day. I drop an algy tablet in every morning for my algy eater and all the fish usually have a go at it ( I also have mollys and a goby) and then in the afternoon I feed them frozen blood worms or live brine shrimp. And I put some zuchinni slices in the tank as well.

He is doing great! He doesn't eat nearly as much as I thought he would, but he is alot more active than I was led to believe.

For future reference mollys have a tendency to nip at others to establish dominance. When I first got my Molly's it took a week or two for things to calm down in the tank. The nipping usually doesn't damage the other fish they just lIke to set up their hierarchy.

I got this Violet Goby from my local fish shop last weekend and it was a little frustrating cause I couldn't find alot of info on them. All I could really find is that they are brackish, like sand and ate blood worms. With how my tank was set up before there were not alot of places to hide cause...

Well my kids and i have had a really rough couple of years and have been begging and begging for a cat or a dog, and I didn't want to pay the 400 dollar pet deposit fee plus the "pet rent" which was an extra 15 bucks a month so I thought that a little fish tank would be nice and easy to manage...

Thank you Im glad I won't have to re-cycle my tank!! The ammonia levels are pretty stable now they just bounce between 0 and .225ppm so im guessing that's going to be a normal thing for the tank. The final guppy ended up dieing so I think I'm going to keep my tank as a "Molly's only" tank. The...

Oooh okay so I will probably use the one I have now as a quarantine tank then because i set it up pretty closely to my main tank and I'll get a 3 gallon tank and keep it empty for a hospital tank then. Thank you! That helped I didn't know what the difference between a hospital and quarantine...

So I have 2 tanks right now. The 20 gallon is the main tank but last week I bought a 10 gallon for a hospital tank. I put two fish in there because we had an incident and so I put the two fish in there that seemed the most stressed. But whatever happened it seems to be passing so I was wondering...

Hey so I got this for my tank and I was wondering if it was a good idea to put in my fresh water tank with my Molly's and if its the same thing as marine salt? Or is this just another water conditioner?
