Help please he is upside down now and i don't know if he will make it!

I woke up today and my sailfin ballon molly was missing a chunk of his side fin. I put him in a hob breeding tank so he isn't bullied further. I think the culprit was another molly because the two males are constantly quarreling over females. Strangely it was the alpha who sustained the injury...

Did you acclimate him? How long after transfering tanks did he die?

I have had my tank set up since January with guppies as the majority of my population with few troubles. When i did have death, it started with females after giving birth. By isolating the ones acting strange and treating them with maracyn, i was able to prevent further loss. The only other time...

got some diamond tetras from Fishy Business yesterday! Also added a blue ram two weeks ago and its doing great! can any of u sex this ram? And also share technique so i can find it a mate later?

No i didnt breed them. One was from petco and the choclate molly was from my lfs Darkwater Aquatics. He was the only one with any red, the others were the typical mottled brown. Ive got three female balloons too, one called a butterfly balloon. But mr bully is never satisfied with them and never...

Once i added a prefilter sponge to my aquaclear, i haven't had any issues with the sludge that used to take over the filter. I also feel better about filter maintenance bc i can alternate between servicing the prefilter sponge and the main sponge and not upset the balance of things.

What is the substrate and how deep is it?

Yep. Mega bully.

A before and after

Heres mr bully in action.

Oh my goodness my tank has changed so much. Here is an update and a closeup of my two male mollies, a sailfin balloon (mega bully), and a chocolate (forever the victim)! Dont know why all the aggression, there are four ladies in there

One of my female cobraskin guppies had around 30 babies a week ago. I noticed her tailfin got nipped a few days ago and it has deteriorated further. She is eating freeze dried bloodworms and sinking wafers by hikari but not much, and she is lethargic and wont interact with her tankmates. Either...

I rearranged my setup... what do you guys think? Im happier with the left side but not the right... will try and give it a week to grow on me no pun intended. Sent from my N9510 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

thank you so much both of you for your replies. I will certainly look into the fertilizers, seeing as it doesn't have much in it; just noticed it is 95% water!!! Was wondering if I'm nitrogen deficient... i think my test strips have gone bad because strips say my pH is low while drop test...

Anyone? Sent from my N9510 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi! I have a 29gal community tank that I'm I kinda unhappy with. I feel like my plants aren't growing in the way i imagined, and that my attempt at a foresty colorful guppy tank is mostly just a scraggly first attempt at aquascaping that needs to be replaced. I'm hoping that some of you with a...
