thats certainly bad, its because its right infront of a window, direct sunlight would make a tank like that in no time. One of the worst has to be a guy who had a betta and a pleco in a bowl.

I agree with GrimmGoby and as far as Discus, there water requirements are not likely to match your other fish (soft RO water), they will require a lot of research and although a life is priceless they can also be expensive.

Substrate - for subtstrate you can use sand or gravel or a little of both, I prefer pea gravel it appears natural to me and is not as messy as sand. sand or grave whichever you prefer I would advise you to wash it thoroughly before you put it in, also with sand you will more than likely need to...

i agree with Mac, the pleco needs to go back, they can grow over 30cm, you will need a massive tank + good filtration and a temperature between 22-28c and a cycled tank, as mentioned before it will need algea wafers. the betta requires at least 5gals and filtration is prefered and many partial...

Generally after a week of being born you are able to see the gonopodium (anal fin of male) which is like a little stick which can be moved around, females will have a gravid spot and a triangular shaped anal fin. This applies only to livebearers i.e guppies, mollies, endlers, swordtails, platies...

you could probably have a very young red-tail or ruby shark if you dont have a bottom dweller, but as this grows you have a huge problem, the large and older it gets the aggression comes with it so unless you want to mess about and keep swaping fish before they grow its a no. 55g is the minimum...

My personal experience is that sand can be very messy and hard to clean, I originaly had sand and never had clear water, as soon as my water was clear i would move someting or perform a pwc and again the tank would appear very cloudy again. you may want to add some sand as it will be a good home...

I personaly would remove the decoration and replace it with a new decoration which you find a like. you could try and coat the metal with something aqua safe, this is probably a bad example but you could coat a small bit of metal with aquarium silicon, this should stop it from rusting although i...

congrats, its a great experience, I have about 17 platy fry and 15 guppy fry at the moment aswell and am trying to raise them they are also my first and are now 1-2 weeks old. You can either use the fry food you buy or you can boil and egg and dry the yolk, once dried you can grate it finely...

I do have other fish that will eat the fry, yes they are pregnant and the platy is really heavy followed by a guppy also but imo not as heavy as the platy, they are very round and have a dsrk spot. The platy is in the trap is this ok? For how long though?
