    Guppy Breeding

    Well when she is actually IN labor you will see it giving birth to babies. From personal experience mine tend to hang out around the top corners of the tank right before they give birth. They also tend to start breathing very rapidly and are less active immediately before they are going to give...

    Help!! Tank has turned into death tank!

    What size is your tank? What kind of goldfish do you have? Goldfish have a huge bioload and are actually a cold water fish. The rest of your fish are tropical? It is hard to tell what is killing your fish but it may be a combination of stress at being overstocked, non-ideal temperature, and a...

    Pregnant guppies?

    They look very very pregnant to me. I had one that looked exactly your yellow guppy that just gave birth to a bunch of fry. Most of them are hiding in some floating watersprite but a few became a tasty snack for my platys.

    Strange fatalities

    Have you tested the water at all? What are your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels. The most likely culprit is a spike in ammonia. I can't think of anything that would kill 4 fish in such a short time span other than too high of levels of ammonia/nitrites/ or nitrates. I suppose it is possible...

    Red tail shark fish killer :(

    You should bring your guppy carcasses back to the store that sold you the shark Another example of the LFS either being ignorant or flat out lying to make a sale. As previously mentioned red-tail sharks can be incredibly aggressive when they get bigger. I was at a chain store one time looking...

    Should I buy a tank on craigslist or go to Petco

    Hello everyone, So I just saw someone locally is selling a 55 gallon tank and stand and all the necessary equipment, heater, thermometer, filter, even an automatic feeder for $100. Obviously this is a really good deal even if I have to replace some of the equipment. My question is whether you...

    Introduction

    It is sad too because so far I have been misinformed by Petco. The guy sold me a tank and fish on the same day. (I believe that the guy actually didn't know that was wrong so I won't accuse him of lying) I was flat out lied to by the OWNER of a LFS who told me it was totally fine to add...

    Introduction

    Hello Everyone, I am new to the hobby but I already have multiple tank syndrome as I have heard it called. I currently have an established 10 gallon tank and I couldn't resist the urge to borderline overcrowd it so I bought a second tank that is 30 gallons. Like a lot of people here I started...
