I have often found that certian platys are more agressive than others; i've had one terrorize another many times. Adding two more platys will, if nothing else, likely spread out the aggression. If a...

I would suggest a trio of male guppies: it is almost painfully obvious which ones are male youl have no problem there.
They are really fun to watch and your daughter will love them!

Hi, so i'm trying to fix up my 30g. right now i have 2 cory catfish and 1 platy. I know I need a full school, but ive had very little luck with cories.I'm looking for a smaller bioload and I really...

well unfortunately once they have it, they are pretty much dead so i dont have pictures. ill try to if god forbid it happens again

dont do it. you may think you are the exeption, and itll work for you, but, honestly it probably wont.

it has no food or driftwood or plants even, fake or real. i boiled the gravel a week ago

it isnt like the pictures, their spines are one big curve, and they are really thin

its a sulfur smell

pretty much nothing was in it before, its just been running about a week
it just started smellimg weird

i have been having this weird thing hapen once in a while where, overnight, a platy will get really hunchbacked and thin, and lose the ability to swim and such. they are always dead within 12 hours...

so i have a tank, fully running but it has no fish yet and it smells awful. why? how can i fix it?

i used a couple cheapie sponge ones, like the small world filtyers, and i had non problems with platy fry. if you want to go higher end, be my guest though

i really do like cories, but ive had problems with them in the past. i was thinking of 4-6, but pygmys are out of the question unfortuanetley.
also, could i mix types? when i had them before, the...

personally, i dont like them. i like to be in control of how much is fed, and when. my advice is to use them only when absolutely neccesary

im pretty sure platys arent schooling, but in case you are right, im also planning to add a few more females to right my ratio.
is all i could add cories?

another fish, probably male, might be bullying her. one of my females was always hiding, and one male always chased her, never leaving a mark. observe her when she comes out to see if any shady...

if they all look female, they might just all be female. ive had all one gender births before.
just wait and see.

ok i have a 30 gal tank with one female betta, 3 baby platys, and 1 adult.
i want to get a few more fish, but i havent decided what. i really like gouramis, but i have the betta... shes really non...

okay.. anything else? will all my fish die?
this fish has only been like this for a day or two, and is still eating and swimming.

ok i havent been on for a while but here we go:
my red platy has a hunched, curved spine and is thin. yeah i know that its got to be TB
but i have lots of other fish! will they all die?? i really...

Hey everyone, I am thinking of trying breeding again. I have had 2 unsuccesful tries, wiht 4 different bettas. I tried
1) female veil and male veil
they got all the way to spawning, but no eggs...

I would get a small world filter, the penn plax kind. they are cheap. i treid betta breeding before, hada good setup but unwilling bettas.
I would position the filter at one end of the bin ( this...

sorry, i missed the first post- whats up with azul?

I have a dwarf platy, and she is just as healthy as the rest,. they sell both males and female at my fish store. they do have a rounder figure, but mine is a female, so she may be pregnant.

gotta say, fish are nothin like dogs or cats. fish are ornamental beyond all, while dogs and cats are company.
honestly, if you think eating fish is like eating a freind...... well i agree i;m a...
