Hi Dela, Turns out it was old algae wafers as everyone suspected. It is long gone now - I cleaned the little sucker out! Thanks for checking ? Sent from my SGH-M919 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thanks Elephant & Brook! I agree that it appears to be uneaten food b'cuz sometimes the algae wafer will land on the rock and the rock slopes down towards the glass. I've researched the breeding section and it doesn't look like any egg/larvae pics that are being posted, so just wanted a 2nd...

I just discovered this formation in my 55G freshwater community tank last night and have no clue as to what it could be. Here is a list of my stock: 1 x Australian rainbow 2 x Blue gouramis 1 x Gold gourami 5 x Neon tetras 1 x Dwarf frog 1 x Betta 5 x Guppies 3 x Platys 1 x Cherry barb 2 x...

Re: Need Help Identifying Formation (don't think it's eggs but u never know!) Update: Decided to take a pic using a flashlight as a back light and turned the flash off on my camera. I think it shows the interior of the formation even better. Also, forgot to include: 4 x zebra danios 1 x...

I just discovered this formation in my 55G freshwater community tank this evening and have no clue as to what it could be. Here is a list of my stock: 1 x Australian rainbow 2 x Blue gouramis 1 x Gold gourami 5 x Neon tetras 1 x Dwarf frog 1 x Betta 5 x Guppies 3 x Platys 1 x Cherry barb 2 x...

Ok, so here's a couple of pics of my "platy" fry. She moves around a lot so it was hard to get a pic of her. None of my guppy fry showed their colors like this when they were first born. I have guppies that are several months old and are still colorless. So what do y'all think? Platy or guppy...

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between guppy fry and platy fry? A lot of fry look so similar. I found 3 fry in my tank about 4 weeks ago and just assumed they were from my guppies. I pulled them out and put them in my small fry tank but lost 2 overnight. I have noticed the...

Hi Kitty, Found 7 guppy fry last night and got them out. Expecting more to pop up soon. Yay! Thanks, Suzi

Hey B, Thanks for the advice. I have yet to invest in live plants, that'll probably be my next splurge. As for the water changes, I am already doing plenty of those so no problem there. And I totally agree with you on the larger tank. That is why I am currently cycling a 55G. More than enough...

Update: New Guppy Fry!!! Hi All, Well, I must be doing something right because last night when I went to do my regular water change I found...FRY!!!!! :) I'm so glad I saw the little thing before sucking him/her up into my siphon. My tank is heavily planted but the fry was darting about in...

Hello :confused::confused: I have 3 pregnant fish in my 10G and my question is: why won't they drop their fry? I have 2 guppies that are well and truly over 30 days (more like 45 days) and 1 MM platy that is about 45 days too. I have researched breeding a lot and feel as if I am doing...

Hi All, :D I have some questions about setting up a new 55G tank. I have wiped the new tank down, rinsed the gravel, decor, filter, and thermometer, and set everything up except water. I was trying to decide on whether to go for a fishless or fish-in cycle. However, after doing some research...

Hey Sid, it's been cycling for about 5 to 6 weeks now. At first I was only using the test strips, so was not getting very accurate results. I thought it was cycled when I put the guppies in. When I started testing with the master kit, I realized it probably was not fully cycled. Now I have fish...

I should have clarified regarding stocking: I have 2 platys (1 is preggers), and 4 guppys (1 male, 2 pregnant females, and 1 as of yet unidentified adolescent). Thanks for the replies thus far, but you both said opposite things LOL. I'm still confused what to do! Sent from my SGH-M919 using...

Happy Memorial Day Everyone! So I'm getting really confused about cycling and water changes with my 10G tank. Here's why: I started cycling fish-in about 6 weeks ago with 3 zebra danios. I have always used test strips and thought they were adequate. They were showing 0 nitrates and 0.5ppm of...

Yep, been doing that too because my tank is about 4 weeks old so I've had to make lots of water changes to keep the ammonia and nitrite levels down to cycle. Great tip though! Thanks ☺ Sent from my SGH-M919 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

OK, I admit it, I'm really impatient when it comes to my fish giving birth! Any guesses as to how much longer I'll have to wait? She looks pretty squared off and is very bent over. My tank is heavily planted, salted, with level pH, tank mates removed, temp set at a cozy 78, so what's the deal...

Pregnant Platy Sent from my SGH-M919 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Its actually been 30 days exactly since I first posted on this forum asking if members thought my platy was preggers so it should hopefully be any day now! I've had varying levels of success with my breeder nets - some deaths, some survival - generally I think they tend to stress the mom's-to-be...

Hi there! I would love to get an update on your platy. Did u get any fry? Your platy looks identical to mine, coloring and all LOL. She seems like she's been pregnant forever and looks like she's gonna burst but still nothing. If u have time drop me a quick reply and let me know if u have baby...

I purchased a 10G to eventually house my guppies (they are currently in a 3G and need an upgrade) and have been cycling for 5 days now with 3 zebra danios. They all appear in good health and I have been strip testing water every day. My readings are Nitrate 0, Nitrite 0, Hardness 25, Chlorine 0...

Hi All, I have a very pregnant platy and varitys (sp?) and want to know your experiences with breeder boxes. The last thing I want is for my preggers fish to get stressed. Are they more prone to get stressed in a breeder net/box or are they finding it hard to find a quiet spot in my community...

Thanks for your quick reply :-) I have a guppy that gave birth to some fry recently and I put her in the breeder box. It only ended up stressing her out and killing her the next day. I ended up just scooping out the fry from the main tank after they were born and then placing them in the breeder...
