the fish should give birth to around 10-70 fry. the temperature should be around 25-29 degrees. the catfish may eat some fry, but not as many as another fish. i would recommend a new tank specifically for breeding. i am an experienced breeder with mollies and i have found that doing this works...

it is likely that she is pregnant again. their gestation period is around a month, so that sounds about right. she looks big enough and will give birth within the next 1 day- 2 weeks hope this helped :-)

hello, with mollies, you must look out for a square and flat belly. they will be significantly larger and remove themselves from the action of the tank for a while before the give birth. they also produce a gravid spot on their anus which is white and opens slightly before giving birth. hope...

No, this would most likely kill the mollie. these fish require different minerals from other foods, a small catfish would be ok in those conditions. make sure that the PH of the water is around 7.5-8.5 before this though.

hello, java moss is a very quick growing plant(moss). it constantly grows even in terrible conditions. the fish will be fine with it, and shrimps love it. i am experienced with shrimp (especially cherry) and it is something of which they will sit on all day. this is because the moss generates...

hello, it is possible, but less likely. i have never had the experience of it happening to my fish, however i do know people who have. good luck:cool:

Hello, i love to breed shrimp simply because they are fun and easy to look after. as long as to have around 27-28 degreed water, low nitrate and ammonia, and PH of 6.6 - 8, they will defiantly breed. Sure that you have about 10 shrimp o start with, around 6 females and 4 males.this will ensure...

I would suggest buying cherry shrimp (neochardinia) since they are so active. that are also fun to breed and come in all colours. kids would love those. i breed cherry shrimp, and they are one of my favourites to keep hope this helped :-)

Hello, i have had experience with betta such as the dragon fighter, i have found that they are renowned for sitting at the bottom. this is often when they are week. Bettas do not usually live for long, as they are mostly at their full potential in the shop. the black spots can occur with age...

Hello, first you want to take look inside your filter, be sure it is not blocked. if that is all fine, try to find a stronger UV light from your local aquarium,this will advance growth in plants and reduce the algae. you could also buy some catfish to eradicate the algae. as a last resort, buy...

Is my female plattie Pregnant?!?! i a m new to owning platties, and need advice on if my 3 female platties are pregnant, i have put them in breeding boxes. if they are pregnant, how long until they give birth? thank you.

Here is another one

I am new to platties, and have 3 females which look pregnant TO ME. Could someone please tell me when they estimate them to give birth from the pictures below, thanks.

If possible, separate the males so that you don't stress the female? The reason why they chase her is because they can smell the fry and these live bearers will eat their own young!!!
