She died yesterday before anyone replied.

Nobody has an idea!?

My balloon Molly (Comet) has swim bladder. Usually my boyfriend handles the sick fish because I am to busy freaking out about it. However this time I didn't have a choice. I put peas in there with her. Anything else I can do to help?

How do Molly Fry develop? If the dad is a sailfin lyre tail and the mother is not. Will the babies be born showing a sailfin or lyre tail immediately or is that something that will develop overtime?

We actually have two breeder nets so we can clean them out easily. And we have some newborn fish food that we already put in therefor them. We actually were expecting them a couple of weeks ago but we suspect the fish aborted the fry and another fish just happened to have them today.

My Molly had fry today!! What can I do to ensure that they will all make it out alive. We have them separated in a breeder net at the moment. We set up a tank on Monday for them, but it isn't cycled yet. We weren't expecting them so soon.. We did a water change a couple nights ago so I'm...

I am the other owner of this tank an yes we got them all from the same tank at the same store. Sadly the guppy suddenly seems to be dying. I placed him in the breeder net when I got home from work. But he wouldn't even swim away from the net. He just seems to have given up.

How do you tell the sex once they get big enough?

That's exactly how much my store sold him to me for and he's definitely worth it. He's only about an inch long but i can't wait until he gets bigger

I found him :) but he doesn't have any red on him!? Is that normal...?

Okay I got a cherry shrimp yesterday and we haven't seen it since we put it in the tank. The biggest fish we have is a dalmation Molly that's about 3.5 inches. Is if possible he could have eaten it??? We literally can't see him anywhere but he was only about .5 an inch long.

Even more awesome news!! It's confirmed it is a pleco!!! It's a calico ancistrus!!!

So I have decided that the way the fish acts, moves and looks that it is some sort of a pleco. Does anyone else agree that it looks like one????

His fin is there just kind of hard to see in the picture. He's only about an inch long right now but I'm expecting him to be about 6-8 inches by the time he's grown. The store we got him at is extremely good with fish and they said he would get about 6 inches and that they rarely ever got them...

Okay so I just got a calico catfish? I don't know what the exact name is but I want to know what everyone knows about this fish...

What do you guys put your fish in during water changes?

Well if you were to get a job there, even of you didn't work there long maybe you could get out to a few people what it really takes to care for fish. And maybe you could even get through to some of the employees. That would save a few fish from certain death at least.

Wow, I didn't know that. That answers my question. Thanks for informing me of that.

I would absolutely love it if there was more than one pet store run by people that actually knew stuff about fish in my area. I think you would have plenty of customers if you actually tried to inform the people buying fish then just let em walk out with a fish you know there going to kill. If I...

I was thinking about that also, my thought was from the cat in the hat. You wouldn't think that people would take that so seriously tho? Another thing that just eats away at me is the people they have working in fish stores. Most of them know nothing about fish at all. For example I was at an...

Pink belly

We just tested the water Ph-7.3 Ammonia was at .25 but we are due for a PW tomorrow Nitrite-0 Nitrate was about 5ppm We treated the water we have the sick fish in right now with a little aquarium salt and some stress coat and he is trying to swim more than he was and seems to be doing better...

I just watched a video on the Internet and in the video they had a goldfish in a bowl. I just get like infuriated when I see things like this now. Before I had my fish I always thought that it was okay to keep a goldfish in a bowl, but now that I've learned so much I just wonder how keeping a...

Its to late for to go to any fish store and get anything except for going to Walmart? What can we do to help him or is it to late?

He seems fine except for the fact that he won't move unless he is physically touched. I can put anything right up next to him and he won't move unless u actually touch him. I haven't seen him eat or anything since I got him either.
