I'm not sure how big Mollies can get, but I have some Marigold Swordtails, and the females can get 3-4 inches long. The males stay 2 inches. They sure do grow.

I have snails in my tank and they are doing a wonderful job at cleaning up that dreadfull carpet algae. What's really neat is when they get on the glass and you can see their mouths or whatever you call it. It looks like a little pink dot moving underneith them.

When I used to make home made toffees and sell them at the flee market, I made some varieties. One had Fennel which is like a licorice flavour. I labeled it "Licorice" and amazingly enough people would ask what kind of licorice it was.

I check my e-mail this morning and all of a sudden there's a bunch of notifications from threads which I didn't even reply or post in. Why am I getting these?

I'd say avoid fish which look like they have frayed or tattered fins. If they look queezy, week, or pale, also avoid buying them. Look for things like fungas, fin rots, ich(white spots), parasites such as ticks, etc. Check for any abnormalities such as bulges or lumps in wierd places. I...

I have the same kit. I bought it at PetsMart, and it comes with almost everything you need to get started except the rocks, water and fish. Well, it doesn't come with things for maintenance like a gravel vac either. IMO, you should have waited two weeks before getting a fish, but I can also...

Dude, that is soo cool. Congrats.

Is there another LFS in your area? If so, I'd take the specemin over to them and ask them what it is. If they say Hair Algae, then rais hell with the store that sold it to you for infesting your tank. The stuff is a bit of a PITA because if it's not kept away from your filter, it can work...

Sounds like an interesting plant from what I have been reading doing a little googling. http://www.aqualandpetsplus.com/Plant,%20Java%20Moss.htm I'm wondering if a plant like that can help with the carpet algae problem that I've been having by competing for space, that is if it's available...

It looks like hair algae to me. Did you buy this, or did it just form in your tank?

I got snails in my tank but it seems to be great because they are going to town on that carpet algae which I have been battling with over the past few months. When they are done with that, I have a nice African Cichlid in another tank to feed them to.

Hey, are these guys called Convicts because their stripes resemble prison stripes from the old uniforms they used to wear in prison?

I don't know anything about them, but the link I provided in my previous post has some info on the fish.

Is it more like this on from the sides? http://www.tropicalfishcentre.co.uk/convict.htm

Nice fish. Kinda looks like a Cichlid. Can't really tell from that angle though.

I hardly had any fry die unless they got accidently crushed in something or sucked into the filter, so you have to be careful of those things. They pretty much all survive. My suggestion, if you can't provide a big enough tank for them, is to talk to a few lfs in your area and ask if they will...

Looking at that table, I wouldn't trust it myself. Water weighs 8-10 pounds per gallon. With a 29 gal, that's at least 232 pounds and that's not inncuding the rocks.

Everybody feeds them differently. You can feed them at least once a day but no more than three times a day. If you are feeding them three times a day and having problems with excess food, try reducing to twice a day. If you still have problems with excess, try feeding them less. You're...

I don't even know if Dwarf Gourami get too big for a 10 gal. Even they seem big compared to Tetras and Livebearers, etc.

Good point. lol You could place a sponge or something over the intake though.

Hope you have some good plants for the loose fish to hide in. If not, then it may just becomes someone's dinner unless it is caught and put back in the breeder or you put a barier or do something to seperate it. I don't know how long you need to keep the Guppies seperate for, but my other...

I have a breeder designed pretty much like that. I bought it at PetsMart for about less than $5 CAD. You can also take the V trap out and use it as a small holding tank. The ends have holes so the water can flow through it, and it's designed to float.

One of my famale guppies has the same style tail. She pretty much looks just like the one in your picture. The other two have speckled tails. One is pinkish red and the other is bluish pearl. I bought the one wich was like the one in your picture the other day, and the one with the pinkish...

Some of my fish also chase my laser pointer. My Cichlid attacks it and my Livebearers just follow it around the bottom of the tank. Light Amplifycation Stimulated by Emmisions of Radiation
