My swords are delivering their fry. I have never had swordtails before and so far I have about 8 small babies in a breeder net. My question is how small of food do I need to feed them and how much per day? When do I release them from the net? When they are big enough to NOT be eaten? If...

I have inherited a 30 gallon tank and a new fish. It is relatively large and could possibly be a shark? I am trying to upload pics but it keeps saying I am over my quota of 2 MB. I have the pic down to 640X480 pixels. I am trying again. I am hoping someone knows what this is so I can...

My tank is going belly up...yesterday I found my mini clown pleco at the bottom of the tank. I am so bummed out. He was my fav! Then this morning I found one of my swords stuck to the filter, I thought she was just hanging around it, no..she was dead too. What is up... I did a quick test on...

Ok...so I am freaking out a bit...I found a lump and have a mammogram today. I am only 35, did I say that? ONLY 35, well I am only 35 which to me is young. Too young to be needing a mammogram at least. I was fine up until this very moment where I feel like I am going to throw up and have...

most of you know my story so I won't go into detail... as for now...I am addicted. I am addicted to fish...but I can't get a bigger tank until our basement is finished, and with my luck it will be another year for my husband to get it done, but we are wanting to put a tank into the wall of...

So I finally branched out and got some more fish since the death of our first one over a month ago. I was going to stick with the mollies because that is what i am used to...but I didn't. I branched out a bit and got some swordtails...they are so pretty, but the one bigger one is a bit...

I have hunted and hunted for a way to not chemically drop my pH which has been about 8.2-8.4. My fish have adapted quite well. I just did a 50% water change and right before the change I tested the water again. I had just put in a nice peice of driftwood for my clown pleco about a week ago...

I got this great piece of driftwood today off of ebay. I have been so excited about it for my mini clown pleco. I have a few questions... How long do you soak the driftwood before placing in the tank. I have been soaking it all day, no residue or darkening of water has occured. It did float...

If you don't remember my story, here is the short version... Started out with 3 Dalmation mollies, 2 F/ 1M...1 got pregnant, removed the male, the other female died from some sort of parasite (not for sure) Also have a mini clown pleco and an ADF. It has been since the end of March since we...

For crying out loud...it has been since at least late Feb since we noticed our little dalmation molly getting bigger, it's April now, still no fry. What is up? Any ideas or suggestions to get this show on the road? She looks like she is going to blow...at this point all readings on tank are...

Ok...I give up! I have resized and reformated my pics to make that cute little pic that everyone has under their name when they make posts. My question is, is this the avatar pic or the signature pic? I have made it less than 15, no more than 350X125 (it is actually 160X120) and it still...

My total alkalinity has gone from between 120-180 to 300 since last weeks water check...all other numbers are WNL, Nitrate 40 (this is up from about 20), nitrate 0, hardness 150, pH between 7.8-8.4 (8.0) I have been doing at least 50% water changes weekly. We did lose a fish last week from a...

she didn't make it well, as some of you may have read in my post sick fish, my molly died an hour ago. It was our first loss. My 3 year old cried so hard that it made me shudder. Thanks for all your help and advice when she was struggling, she is swimming free now, somewhere else I hope :cry:

Please refer to the unhealthy fish (topic sick fish by woodsplace1 for all details), but my question is, my nitrates have jumped from 0 to 20 in a few days. I have a sick fish, is this a sign of something...someone please help me...all my water parameters are on the other topic site...(sick...

Ok...so I admit it...I am an aquarium virgin if you will. We bought the 10 gallon tank for my 3 year old sons "fishy" room and I will also admit intended to get just gold fish and use the light as a night light for him, something simple. Well, the more I got into it, the more I got...

One of my dalmation mollies has been acting weird the past few days. Last week I thought she was constipated, she was sitting at the bottom kindof burrowing in the gravel, I thought she was pregnant, but not very big, just the past few days, she hasn't eaten very much and now when she swims...

Ok...one of my mollies is at the bottom of the tank, somewhat burrowing in the gravel belly down. She may be pregnant, but not anywhere near the size my other molly is...could she be dropping fry, how long does this actually take, this process. It almost looks like something is coming out of...

Do you have to have driftwood for a clown pleco. I have a mini clown pleco and I have heard I should get driftwood for it? We have gravel and also a shark that he sits in and gets on top of alot. Is there a reason for the driftwood that I don't know about? Thanks... :D
