I have this female molly in my tank, she looks heavily pregant but has been like that for the previous 5-6 months, for the past two months she seems to be very thin under the gills. I at first thought she wasnt eating but she is eating fine, she has had babies but they all came too early as the...

Today I had to euthanise my molly fish because it had its body broken and it couldn't swim it could just lay there and breathe, which was not good quality of life. It was a black male molly and I don't know if it's gotten my white female molly that i raised from birth pregnant. Always a downside...

S I've has this molly for 8 months now, she's grown to be fairly small but she probably hasn't finished, she's always had a faint dark spot near her abdomen but she now seems to have an intensely dark spot, I have 1 black male molly in the tank with her and 2 other females, but I haven't seen...

I've put her in the breeding trap, but I don't know when she will drop, she looks huge compared to my other ones

I would like to know how I can breed my ruby barbs, I've had them for a while and my female has become bloated which I am guessing is with eggs. My male has definitely noticed she is around because he turns black when he finds a mate, I would just like to know how to breed them as I've never...

I came home today to discover about 35 fry in my breeding box. Here are some pictures

My platy looks abnormally fat, she has a reddish spot where her gravid spot should be, is she pregnant or is it an infection or just fat? This is a bit of a blurry photo but you can see her body quite clearly

I want to see people's fry, whether egg laying or live bearers, I don't mind, as long as it's some form of fry, I love baby fish! And I know I'm not alone

I have a female swordtail in my tank, along with a male, in the store she had about 15 males in the tank with her and lots of females, I think she's pregnant, if she is, how long do I have before she gives birth?

I bought these beauties today and she looks quite fast, there were about 15 males in the tank along with 30 females, is she pregnant? If so, how far?

So I have this new tank, 55 litres, and in it so far I have a molly fish and this small algae eater, the molly fish was the surviving fish from the batch of fry in the old tank, but the other fish died. I was wondering what nice live bearing fish could i put in with the molly, I want live...

Hi Guys, in my sisters original fish tank (3 x Zebra Danio's + 2 x White Cloud Mountain Minnow's) I have noticed on one of the Danio's a pink growth, it is on its head, around the eyes. Since I have noticed this, my sister has said it keeps dying, and then coming back to life again, I'm not...

hi guys, about 2 weeks ago, my Mickey mouse Platy Died. He was 2 and a half years old, and I got him from my sister, because her fish had babies, and he was one of them. At one month old, I got him, at 2 months, I got his brother, I didn't want to breed at this point. I named him Mickey, and...
