What are the sexes of the three mature fish and the juvie? I assume the originals were a male and a female, and I'd bet that the new one is a male. Typically for Platy's you want at least twice as...

For common livebearers like Platy's the LFS usually wants them naer full size. Really the only time they don't want them full grow is if they are a large species that they can sell as juveniles.

I don't really think that mollies are any more or less hardy than they were a few years ago.

The fancy fish that are found have been inbred to exhibit certain traits. While breeding for these...

I think a better question would be "does anyone have a cichlid WITHOUT attitude."

Every cichlid I have ever owned has had attitude or some sort. If I walk by my current Oscar's home without...

When I got these fish I had a hard time finding information on them. I was quite pleasantly surprised when I found a great article on them in Tropical Fish Hobbyist.

Good afternoon all.

My Belonesox pair just gave birth to 45 babies. I am in need of lots of feeder fish. I figure the best way to get them is to set up a couple of livebearer tanks. I've breed...

Have I told any of you that I am kind of a dumbass? I always tell people "reasearch before you buy" and "know what you're getting before you get it." Sometimes I wish I'd listen to myself...

So...

Hold the fish in the fish net and remove the nylon with tweezers.

Most fish are like teenagers, if you put food out, they'll eat it. It doesn't mean they should eat more. If you are feeding 2-3 times a day you are most likely OK.

How are the babies doing?

I don't think that you'll have any problem keeping a pair of Dwarf Gourami in a community type tank. Even though the pair will likely form a strong bond they won't likely become aggressive with...

Most snails prefer to lay eggs on a dry surface, normally the top of the tank where the water has disappearred from evaporation. If you keep the tank completely filled they are not likely to...

Usually alkalinity/buffering capacity is relatd to the hardness of the water. The harder the water, the higher its alkalinity/buffering capacity. Try adding carbonate stone (limestone) to your tank...

Turbo snails don't really burrow, but they will get into tight little cracks and crevices. They can be difficult to spot sometimes.

As far as the name goes, the turbo snails are actually quite a...

Just a couple of questions...

How long have you had the betta?
How old is he?
What are the water conditions like?
What are you feeding him?

With that being asked, it is fairly normal for...

Liquifry is OK.

I normally use infusoria for very small fry. It's cheap (free), and the little guys can get it in their mouths. It's also what they would have in the wild. If you search...

To me there are a few things that seem likely. The first is that the fish is pregnant.

If it is not pregnant I would consider Dropsy. Dropsy typically shows itself with a swollen body and...

The boys drop sperm. The girls drop eggs.

Actually, there is no way to sex them. They look identical. Also, very rare for them to breed in an aquarium.

I am new here. I've been keeping aquariums for about 25 years now. Mostly freshwater. I love cichlids, particularly Oscars. I am looking to learn more about other species, particularly breeding....

Whatever you want to call it...

Has anyone here had any experience with this fish? There is something about a large,...
