Okay, that’s what I figured. I’ll just keep an eye on him. Thank you all!

Hi, hoping I’m putting this in the right place. One of my Molly’s had her fry today, we found them this afternoon in the floating fry grass. We moved them to their own tank and all look good except one. The one in question is acting perfectly fine, but has a very sunken belly. I know sunken...

Update on the white shrimp. And also, thank you! I completely forget I can check with the water company. So it’s 2am and I got up to get some water and noticed the white shrimp has finally died. :-( It’s been over a week and I noticed this morning some of the whiteness on the top portion of...

I am fairly new to the aquarium hobby myself so I’d hate to tell you to go get more fish right now only to have it be too much for a new tank to handle, but with that said- I’d either return the Molly or add at least 3-4 female Mollies. Maybe not right now, but as soon as your tank can handle...

Try googling “female betta egg spot”. I could be wrong, but from everything I’ve looked up that seems to be the best way to tell them apart. We’ve got a young female betta and it’s pretty easy to see in the right position. I don’t see an egg spot in the pics, so yours might really be a male, but...

Thank you for your reply. So after watching him a lot last night and this morning, I definitely think it’s some sort of molting issue. :-( I don’t know what the water parameters were like in the store, but I know they had just gotten them in the day before. In other words, I know the little...

I managed to get a picture if that helps! It’s not much bigger, most are about 1 inch or slightly smaller, while this one and one other look almost 1 1/2inch. And you can’t tell well in the pic, but the white one seems to have the same markings as the others, so I don’t THINK it’s an Amano...

Hey all! So I just got shrimp for the first time. I’ve got 10 ghost shrimp in an established 5 gallon tank. Literally just got home with them, got them acclimated and in the tank, and noticed one of the shrimp is bigger than the rest plus most of it’s body is white rather than clear. It’s...

Sorry again, I know that was really long. First paragraph, last sentence i mentioned going out and getting my own betta after we got my sons, but I wasn’t clear. We do use Quick Start from API with beneficial bacteria but we haven’t moved our decorations from the current tanks to the new ones...

Okay, so exactly one month ago today we got my son a Betta fish. I thought I had done adequate research beforehand. I was nervous because neither my husband or I had ever been able to keep fish alive as children since our parents had no idea what they were doing, so I wanted to do this right so...
