She's looking very close for sure!

RIP, Jr. :(

I've had 3 platy births and none of them happened in the breeder box. The females hated it. 2 were in the tank and 1 was separated from the other fish with a tank divider. I found the tank divider to be the best route for me because Mommy was way more relaxed and then the babies have a decent...

Congratulations!! It's so fun watching the little fry grow!! Enjoy!

Great info...thanks so much!! :)

Confusing!! I just want healthy fishies!! :(

Your fish are gorgeous! Congrats on the upcoming babies!!

Fish to be treated are platies, guppies, cories, tetras I've seen many of them with the stringy white poop. So I should be doing both then? I'm so confused!! :blink:

But do you need parasite food and a water treatment or just the water treatment? Or just the food? Will treating the water also treat the fish?

So strange. Must have been an infection or something then. Hopefully everyone else stays healthy for you!!

If a few of my fish have it, wouldn't it make sense that they all would have them? Aren't they contagious?:confused:

Hmmm...that's odd! All your other barbs are fine? It must have been an injury or something that weakened him and then the others really went after him. Just a guess! Sorry you lost him...

That's what I have. (jungle parasite clear) So I can use them on their own? I don't need to use parasite food in addition?

Good luck!!! :)

My fish have the long stringy 'parasite poop'. Do I need to treat them with food and a tank treatment or just one or the other? Will the tank fizzies do the trick on their own? :confused:

15 gallon. It's a really fun tank. Everyone gets along well.

Oh ya, lots of room, keeping in mind that platies are livebearers and if you have males and females will likely have babies every 4 weeks!! :)

I have a gourami tank with three male dwarf gouramis, 4 serbae tetras and 2 cories. Everyone seems to get along fine. They might have a dominance issue once in awhile but they are definitely not aggressive. I have one powder blue and two oranges. I love my gourami tank! Good luck!

My blue platy Momma took forever to drop her fry. I was the same with the breeder. I put her in but took her back out because she seemed stressed. I ended up buying a tank divider for about $17. I moved her to the empty side with a couple of plants and she had her babies that night. Good...

Agreed. I should have mentioned this!! I used some filter media from a friends' cycled tank and it really helped boost my cycle along. Is there anywhere you could get some?

Well of course I'd like more but my hubby might not agree with me so I have to do it one tank at a time so it doesn't seem like so much all at once!! LOL :lol:

I would think that if you can get your hands on some media from a cycled tank you'll finish cycling. My tank was on a bigtime stall and my friend gave me some media from her cycled tank and mine was cycled within a week! Good luck!

I have a 30gal in my dining room and a 15gal in my bedroom and I'm looking for a spot for one more!! LOL!

That is amazing!! Thanks!

:) You're welcome!
