It's been a little over 48 hours and so far about 20 of the corys have hatched! Watching the whole process over the past few days has been amazing and I'm glad I witness it. I've never had eggs in my tanks before. I rigged up a 1 gal tank inside my 20 gal for the fry. I dropped the water...

thank you :)

I woke up this morning to 7 more black molly fry! Then, just a few moments ago, one of my bronze cories started laying eggs! I'm pretty sure the other bronze is a male. It is smaller and keeps following her around and it seems to be cleaning leaves for her. How do I care for them when they...

Thanks. Yes, I immediately scooped out the babies and put them in the breeding net. The mother is very animate and is searching for food while the birth is going on, so I thought that I should maybe leave her out of the net. I'm afraid she'll eat the babies. So far there haven't been anymore...

I just bought a pair of female black mollies a couple days ago and I guess I got a few extra! One of them is in the process of giving birth as I write this! So far she's had 3. How many can I expect? She started expelling other matter out of her. Does that mean she's done or can I expect more...

I have one of the 55 gal setups from walmart. No problems so far ::knocks on wood:: Everything's been working fine.

#3 is still young. I just bought it a month ago at the most and it's only about 2.5 inches in length. LOL, sorry about all the numbers, but i wasn't sure how to label them. 1 and 2 are pretty mature, I believe. I've had them for about 4 months. *edit* Lol, yea. My gourami's are little piggies...

Okay, LOL. I hope this doesn't get confusing. The sizes are: Gold gourami - 1.5" here's where I might confuse you: blue #3 - 2.5" blue #1 - 3.5" blue #2 - 4" I don't know how else to label them but with numbers. I have a couple new pix. blue #3 is being a pain about having it's pic taken. I...

here is the 4th one.

I have 4 gouramis and I'm having trouble sexing them. Can anyone help me? I was having trouble taking their pix because they didn't like the red light, so I did the best I could with them being skiddish. Thanks.

My gouramis do this all the time to me. I trained them when they were small to eat out of my hand because I didn't want them afraid of me when I was doing tank maintenance. LOL, that reminds me about my visit to the fish store the other day. They had a big tub of koi and I stuck my finger in...

She's about a 1/2", maybe a tiny bit longer.

I'll talk to him tomorrow and ask him for a picture. And find out exactly what it is. I think he's been keeping it with cichlids, so I'm not sure. I'll post when I find out more details.

water parameters: ammon - 0, NO2 - 0, NO3 - 10, pH 7.6. I do a pwc with vacuuming when the NO3 hits 15 to 20.

I was offered a "parrot fish" by a coworker, I'm assuming he means a blood parrot. In the 55 gal, I have 3 blue gouramis, 3 red-eye tetras, and 3 cories. I'm planning on selling my pleco to a store due to him getting too large. Would this be a wise move or should I stay clear of this fish? Thank...

Do you think I should put her back in the 55? I have 3 gouramis, 3 red-eye tetras, 3 cories, and 1 pleco in it. I was afraid she'd become a snack.

A few days ago I was watching my 55 gal and saw that there was a tiny, baby molly venturing out at feeding time! I immediately netted her out and put her in a net breeder in another tank. I searched for 2 hours for any siblings, but didn't find any. I had taken all the mollies out of the 55...

Hmm, very weird. I haven't really freaked out about it because he seems to be okay, just looks a little awkward. It's been 2 days, I'll keep an eye on him and maybe he'll straighten out.

I just noticed yesterday that one of my mollies is swimming funny. He's kind of tilted slightly upward as he swims and seems to use his whole body to swim constantly, not just his fins. This looks very strange. He doesn't look unhealthy and he still has his appetite. He doesn't hide either and...

I spent hours on end staring at that tank. I can't believe I haven't seen it in there before. It makes me sad to think that if there were any siblings they were probably eaten or worse, vacuumed :(

Lol, I looked at the picture the day you posted it and thought it was cute. Last night, i walked into the diningroom and saw my betta doing the same thing! They definitely do some funny things.

I think I may have found the answer to why my female was acting funny all of a sudden. I found the tiniest little marble molly fry in my 55 gal today!! Too cute! Could that have been the reason she was acting funny? I pulled the baby out of the tank and put it in a breeding net. What a surprise...

280 gal? Very cool! Yes, please post pics. I'd like to see a pic of a fish that has outgrown a 100 gal tank!

I actually did transfer a plastic plant and a fake rock decoration to the 20 gal in hopes that that would help out. I need to get a new filter for the tank, so I borrowed the filter from the 10 gal, too. I just don't want the levels to get out of whack and have another mess like I had with my...
