My Platy had babies. Like always I missed the birth and didn't realize she was ready to give birth, especially since I just got her last week and she didn't look that big or squared off. . Now the fun begins trying to find them.

I know a 5 gain is small but I have a 60,20, and 10 in use. I had this for my betta and I don't have much luck with them. I want to try this one out with live plants and was hoping for some type of stocking ideas. No Berta's please. Do you think I can put 6 neons in there?

I recently purchased a 5 gallon tank that housed my platy fry, who I had to pull out of the main tank due to a costia infestation during their birth. I was afraid of putting them in my other 5 gallon fry tank, so I ran out and purchased one. I put in my cycled media from an existing healthy...

I am expecting my new fish to arrive in the next few days. My QT tank is up, heater is going and I will be putting in my filter media from my cycled tank before they arrive. My question is, should I treat these new fish as if they have parasites and fungus along with feeding them anti-parasitic...

I found an amazing fish on aquariumfish.net, and I was just wondering before I order it, if anyone had ordered from them before? I was trying to find reviews for this company, however the only one I could find was on another forum and they didn't discuss if the fish were quality, just the...

I'm getting ready to stock my 20 gallon, and I would love some ideas on what to stock. I was thinking about getting a: Licorice Gourami (I'm not a fan of the Gourami, but this looks really cool) Cardinal Tetras Black Neon Tetras and several platy fry will be moved in there once they are...

I have an empty 20 gallon, a 10 gallon with some platies, neons, cory cat and glofish, a 5 gallon with 2 small otos, cory cats and 18 platy fry (2 are 2 months old and 16 are 1 month). I also have a 1.5 gallon with 16 fry (2 days old. I was going to put them in with the older fry, but my fish...

I just lost 4 otos, 3 cory’s and 2 danios to some mystery illness. I checked my PH 7.0, Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0 and Nitrates 40ppm. Today I noticed that some of my fish have a white fungus type of thing on the back of their fins. I treated them with Maracyn and Maracyn 2. In the meantime, my...

My female platy is in the breeder waiting to drop fry. My 4 other Platy's have been hanging out together in a clump in the top corner of the tank. They were doing this earlier as well before I put her in the breeder, as she was hanging out in the corner. Are they depressed or are they just...

I have 17 Mickey Mouse Platy fry in my 5 gallon. They were born 20 days ago. 16 of them still do not have any coloration on their fins, but one of them already has the black Mickey Mouse Stamp. Is this normal that one would have it and the rest wouldn't? I was thinking he was the first born or...

On march 9th my mickey mouse platy dropped 18 fry. I'm estimating her due date to be April 6, as that would be four weeks, but she's already squared off and she has that white cone thing visible, and is pooping like crazy (which is what she did before she dropped the fry). do you think it's too...

My Platy had to wait until I went to sleep last night to have her fry. 18 in all but 2 look like she bit thir fins off and they're dead. How do I move them into my fry tank without killing them. Can they be out of water for 5 seconds when I lift the breeder trap into my 5 gallon which is next...

when I came home tonight, my pregnant platy was hiding under the breeding grass. She is huge and looks like she is going to pop. You can see a bunch of baby fry eyes and she looks reddish right at the end of her stomach. Her stomach is also flat. I had put her in the breeder at 6:45 pm and...

I'm on day three of my quickcure ich treatment. My neons danios and corys are doing well they seem to be their old selves again and I no longer see any spots. Even thought the instructions say three days of treatment should I do one more treatment tomorrow which would be the fourth day or just...

I have a school of 8 neon tetras. for some reason one of them likes to be by himself hiding behind a plant while the lights on on. Once the lights are turned off, he finally comes out of hiding and joins his sister and brothers. He also comes out to eat. Whenever I do a head count, I always...

I recently purchased a 10 gallon tank to use as a QT tank during an impulse buy for some goldfish. Unfortunately one fish died and the other is doing wonderfully in my 60 gallon with his new brother and sister. I'm not PLANNING on purchasing any more goldfish for a few months, but since I...
