They definitely don't look like the picture you posted. Maybe they're mollies.

Here you go. Hopefully it's clear enough. It was tough to get a great shot.

About a month ago I saw some unusual activity amongst my two mystery snails. It looked like they were gettin' it on! I never noticed any eggs in the tank. Today I walked by my tank and noticed...

I would love to add maybe 2 angelfish to my 29g aquarium. From what I'm reading, angelfish can generally grow to be pretty large which makes them not a great long term choice for a 29g tank.

Thanks for the detailed info. It seems to be much more under control and the razor blade worked great!

It is green algae. I've tried manually getting rid of it, but in some areas, specifically at the back of the tank, it's like it's plastered to the aquarium glass. scrubbing as hard as i possibly...

The associate at my local pet shop suggested that snails are sensitive to algae treatments, therefore any kind of algae treatment should be avoided if there are snails in the tank. I have an algae...

I'm considering adding a Molly to my 29g tank. I currently have 2 mystery snails, 3 corys, and 4 Platys.

I understand that I should add 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt per gallon if I decide to add a...

So I went with the blue dwarf gourami. that was a fail. i tried two (not at the same time). when i added the gourami to the tank, both of them exibited the same behavior. Each one became timid...

I purchased my first snail maybe 2 weeks ago. He got out of the tank 2 days ago and I found him on the floor behind the tank. I put some items around the opening near the filter to form a makeshift...

i'm going to go with the dwarf gourami.

one more question though........i stopped by my local pet shop today and they said that they only sell males. can 3 male gouramis live in peace and harmony?

I think I'm gonna pass on the Mollies if there are some other options that I like. Mollies sound like too much work from what I've been reading.

Thanks for all the responses. The dwarf gourami and the dwarf cichlid both look like interesting options. However, it seems like everything i've read previously suggests that cichlids and platies...

I have a 29 gallon tank with 5 platies and 1 cory at the moment. I would love to add a species of fish that does not require a large group. I'm looking for a fish that requires a group of 3 or less...

I currently don't have an air pump in the tank. Aeration is something that I've been conscious of, as I do think that aeration was a problem at one point when I had the 10g tank. At one point the...

As far as exact perameters, I'm not sure sure as I have never actually recorded them when testing the water.

As far as substrate, I have no clue what kind it is. I did buy new substrate for this...

As far as cleaning, I use a syphon to remove about 30% of the water from the tank. I then add water that has already been conditioned in another container and is about the same temp as the aquarium...

Aside from changing the filter about once a month or month and a half, no filter maintenance. Over the course of the year I've actually had 2 tanks. I started with an old 10g that i bought a few...

I've been trying to establish a fish tank for the last year, but no matter what I do the fish won't last more than 2 or 3 months, max. I get my water tested regularly at different pet stores. The...
