HAA HAA HAA HAA THAT IS THE FUNNIEST QUOTE I HAVE READ IN A LONG TIME... I have 3 yellow guppy males that think they belong with my female orange cremesicle molly. They completely ignore the female guppies & only give attention to the molly. They don't mess with the male molly cuz he's about...

I researched several internet pages & per pictures/descriptions of both ich and true fungus it is definitely true fungus. It looked like a real cotton ball on her fin only. Plus her tail fin has almost all of the color gone overnight also. My gut is telling me it is not ich. I TRULY...

5G, freshwater, Ammo 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 5, & PH 7.6 I check on my fish's twice daily. Last night I looked in the 5g & the 4 guppies (1M & 4F) were all happily swimming. I came in today around 11am & 1 of the females has a huge chunk of white fuzz on her front fin. She looked very sick &...

Has anyone ever had any of the liquid in the bottles get gummed up? My Ammonia bottle #1 is getting harder and harder to squeeze out the liquid. It wasn't like that in the beginning. I do daily testing.

Thanks librarygirl... I will be upgrading the filter & heater as soon as I can come up with the extra money. I lost my job so money is a little tight. :( I am definitely rehoming the pleco and then will re-evaluate my stock. If I can fix my schools I will or just leave them as is. They've...

Thanks everyone... I initially popped the frozen cube in the tank and the mollies swarmed it. They were so voracious that I think they scared the others and I saw the remainder of the cube just drop to the bottom. I watched it sit there for about 15 mins & several fish swam around it but...

I feed flakes once daily. I don't have a lot of uneaten food on the bottom. My fish pick at the decorations and plants. I have never seen any type of an algae that they are picking at either. I thoroughly vacuum my gravel 4x's a week right now due to daily pwc's pending a complete cycle. I...

I thawed 1 cube of frozen bloodworms & fed them with a turkey baster to my fishy's last night. I made sure every worm was eaten. I have an Angel, some guppies, a couple long fin tetras, and a couple mollies. Should I skip a day of feeding after those bloodworms? I feed flakes in between...

A turkey baster works the best for getting fry out of the tank. It's takes a few try's to get the hang of it but I saved all 10 of my guppy fry with it. I somehow walked in when she was spitting out the 1st fry & just sucked them up as they dropped. I would walk away in between so I might...

Stock Comments: My tetra's are actually "Long Fin Red Minor Tetra's". I started with 5 in the beginning & 3 died due to ammonia poisoning along with quite a few other fish. I stopped buying fish until I get it cycled. Per the Petsmart website that tetra should have a max size of 2". I will...

The 5G has the 5 guppies. I feed them twice daily & it's just enough that they all get a meal. When I vacuumed today it was some poop & a little food. I vacuumed down to about a half gallon in the tank too. I wanted to get a good cleaning on it. I vacuum every other day right now too. I...

I have a 5g freshwater planted in my son's room. It has been up & running for over a month & I am wondering if it will ever fully cycle like my 29g will?????? I test it daily with my API liquid kit & have been doing daily 75% PWC's. Today the tests were Temp 80, PH 7.6, High Range PH 8.0, Ammo...

Thank you... I bought a fake plant grid that covers about a 5x5 area that is perfect on the bottom for the fry. Plus there are several real plants & a hide a cave. Survival of the fittest I guess!!! hee hee The fry are sooooo stinkin cute it's hard to realize that they can be a meal if they...

I have 3 female guppies and all are very pregnant. All 3 are boxy looking. I noticed 1 fry this morning and 9 hours later I have 5 total fry. All 3 guppies still look boxy so I cannot tell who gave birth to be able to tell who is done & can be removed from my birthing tank. All 3 still have...

To JLK; My ammo & nitrite was .25 & nitrate at 10 today at 10:30am. Param's at 6:15pm today was ammo & nitrite 0 & nitrate 5. I did not do ANY pwc's today ONLY because I ran out of Prime & I have absolutely no money to buy any for at least a day until my hubby gets paid. I am worried that no...

To LibraryGirl; Thank you for responding. Response to problems; Filter and Heater came in the tank kit that was a bday gift from the hubby and sons this year. :( I was recently laid off so as soon as I can get the extra money I will buy a bigger filter and heater. I started with 3 cory's...

Thank you everyone. I see the error of my ways now. It's just sad the fish are paying the price for my lack of complete research. I will either return the pleco to Petsmart if they'll take him back but I have had him for a month now so I'm not sure if they will. If they won't then I will...

Thank you and I will start that immediately. I will do another one tonight. Are Mollies more sensitive than the other fish? (tetras, guppies, ghost shrimp, pleco) Body Count is up to 2 now and 1 is knocking on deaths door while another is starting the trip. I have 4 left as of 11:05am...
