She did get better. But I've noticed her poop is pale and grayish and hanging off of her. It's unusual for her.

A nice school of rummy nose tetras or neon tetras could also be fun. They have great personality and schooling behavior.

Personally I love platys. There are so many color variations and they get along with almost any fish. They eat everything and are pretty active. And if you get one it's be just fine. Not a fancy fish but a fun fish in my opinion.

Tetras are all schooling fish. You'll need more than one and I don't think you tank can accommodate that

This is great advice. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I'll definitely look into it.

I think my gold severum is constipated. It's belly is totally bloated and it's normally dark poop is a light grey color and not really coming out. And today it didn't attack the food as it normally does. What should I do?

Oh wow. I didn't realize it would cause mortality. In any case I took them out after a few minutes. I sunk the trap in the tank, giving the babies some place to hide. There just wasn't anywhere they could absolutely stay safe in the tank. Now at least they have a chance.

Thank you!

I just put my two pregnant platies in a nursery tank but I feel bad about the small space. Best I can tell they've been pregnant since about 4th of July. How long can they stay in the small space? How close are they to giving birth? Do they give birth all at once or are there still babies in...

Hi. I believe I have a murderer in my tank. I went to turn the lights on in the tank this morning and noticed one of my platy was dead and stuck in the roots of my plant. This was really surprising to me because he'd had no symptoms and had been totally fine and eating with everyone just the day...

Right now she's in a 10 gallon quarantine tank. My main tank is a 90 gallon with 40 small fish. I have mostly tetras, some otos and roseline shark.

Hi all. My little platy Coral is sick and I don't know what's wrong. She has been very reclusive the past week. At first I thought maybe she's pregnant and is trying to get that going but then I noticed that she would not eat. She took to hiding away at the top corner of the tank behind the...

Hi guys. This is my newly stocked 90 galling tank. As you might see in the picture my filter outlet is on top right and I have a powerhead at the top left of the tank. I have some platty, roseline sharks, oto, and two little severums in there. I was wondering what the appropriate amount and...

Hi. Anyone here in the Michigan Ann Arbor, Dearborn area? Do you guys know of a good fish store that I can check out? I'll be willing to drive for a couple hours even. Let me know. Thanks.

Yes the ammonia was added to cycle the tank before the fish.

When I put in ammonia the nitrite and nitrate both spike up by the time ammonia is back down to zero. And then by the next day they are both down to zero. Seems to me that's a good thing. Cause for a long time the nitrates were massive high even with water change.

Thank you. I've got some fish in there now. It's been about two hours and they all were interested in the food I put in.

I have been cycling a 90 gallon for about two months now and I am now wondering if my cycle is done. My tank cycles 4ppm of ammonia to zero in 24 hrs and nitrite and nitrate to zero in about two days. I've been at this rate for about two weeks now, but the process is not getting any faster...

I have a kh of 4 and a GH of 161.1 ppm. I have no idea if that's high or low. I don't really understand the whole chemistry thing. I don't know about CO2 gassing. I've done massive water changes before and the pH decreased slowly overtime.

The pH of my tap water is like 8.4. And overnight it drops down to 6.2. I can ignore that for cycling if that's not a concern but I'm worried about when I have fish in my tank. That kind of a drop will kill them for sure. I'm just not sure if this will happen again after my cycle is done or if...

Hi. I am fishless cycling for the first time and I need advice/ reassurance. I have been testing fairly regularly and my tank can now cycle around 3 ppm of ammonia overnight and my nitrite and nitrates are off the chart. Through the whole process my pH has been fairly stable, starting at...

Can anyone tell me what this white stuff growing on my driftwood is? I am in the middle of my fishless cycle and the light in my tank is never on, I turned it on tonight just to have s look and noticed his white fuzzy stuff growing in the cracks of my driftwood. How concerned should I be? And...

Thank you for this link. I've been thinking over a QT tank as well and this answers a lot of my questions. I have one more though. What kind of paint is considered safe? And do I paint on the outside or inside of the tank?

Hi guys I just watched a video on YouTube about electric blue acara's and how they ate the tummy nose tetras in this guys tank, and this concerns me since I was considering them for a community tank. I am also considering getting a severum for my tank and am wondering would the severum eat...

Would a fast current be a problem for the smaller tetras? And eventually angelfish?
