I've had several successful pairs of rams in the past. I just brought home a new pair of mature rams. One was clearly the dominant male of the tank when I picked him out, the other was clearly female when compared with its tank mates. The first night I brought them home they acted paired up and...

I have a young pregnant red tiger platy. Its facinating because theyre so see through. Ive been watching her pregnancy progress. Shes shy to begin with so ive been unsuccessful getting any good pics of her. But i was wonder what stage shes in when i can see pink goo with lots of little black...

Does anyone know if its normal days before giving birth for her scales to start to stick out? These pics are almost a week old and shes even bigger and each night i can watch her 'tube' flex open and closed then almost disappear.

So i finally got liquid tests for nitrites, nitrates and gh/kh. I though maybe my non-specific ammonia test came out high no matter what i do because my nitratea were high which while not as big a threat can be bad. But, no. My nitrites are 0. My nitrates are 5-which is way below the limit. And...

Ive been through quite a few ordinary dwarf gourami. Times before i atributed their deaths to different things. Ive noticed they all died once they reached max size. They all developed round bellies like the one in the picks but since losing one to dropsy the other day I'm beginning to doubt...

This is my pregnant balloon molly. I'm pretty sure shes close but i dont want to put her in the breeder box yet and risk stressing her out. I noticed yesterday shes "dilating." I was wondering if anyone could tell from these picks how close she is? Today shes so big the scales near her pa-tuti...

Ive had a pair of gbr before but for some reason picking between male and female with this batch was diffcult. Plus theres so much conflicting information. These guys just came in yesterday and i was told they were so stressed they had no color at all. Today they had some but still not a lot. I...

One of my oldest and largest dwarf guaramis appeared to be having problems this morning. He looks very bloated and his scales were beginning to turn out. I moved him to qt and added salt and a tetracycline based medication. At the end of the day i cant tell if hes worse of just tired because of...

I normally have high ph tap water. Because of that and my green phantom pleco i added a piece of mopani wood. Over the last month its lowered my tanks ph too much so i added 3tbsp of crushed coral to my filter now its a solid 6.8 even right after pwc. Now i have a second wood loving pleco and...

I have one molly that came home with moderate fungus on all her fin. I tried treating the tank with pimafix first. After a week all her fins cleared up except her tail. Her tail got worse. So i tried 4 days of maroxy. She is still worse. Ive moved her to a qt. None of my other fish appear to...

I brought home a fish with a fungal infection on all her fins. I first treated the whole tank with pimafix. Several days later her side fins are better but her tail is worse. So today i got some maroxy. Id have used it first if Id known it was safe for my adfs. Would it be advisable to...

I have a 30gal with an assortment of fish and plants. It should be cycled but the ammonia level has remained high so ive been using ammolock. I added ammonia chips to my filter last week and the level was coming down. I had also added a little crushed coral. I think the crushed coral made the...
