Nope, no open wound, just bent.

Thanks for the advice, Gemini. I just got home from work, and now I can't find him in the tank. :/ If I find him alive still, I'll look into the clove oil...

When I got home tonight, I came in to check on the my fish and one of my lyretail-tail guppies is literally bent in half. I've had that happen with a different filter to a couple different fish...

Okay, I'll try a large water change and vacuum tomorrow. Thanks for the name, I'll look up more info on them now.

It's so odd, because I'm not feeding much, anyway. I cut back on the amount I...

I have no clue what is in my tank, don't even know if I'm in the right forum for it, but I thought I'd start in here, lol.

I just noticed these tiny white specks on the walls of the tanks,...

Aww, nevermind. :( Her betta died.

The tank is a 1G with filter, no heater. Her room is always pretty hot, so the water temp hasn't been a problem. Still waiting on the water to test it, but maybe I'll loan her my mini heater to...

Hey guys,

My friend has a betta, and up until a few weeks ago, an oto cat in to keep him company. The oto cat passed, and the betta became more and more listless. He wasn't that active of a fish...

Thanks guys, I was just a little concerned. You put me at ease, though!

(I'm not sure it the fish is a male or female, I'm just going to refer to it as a she, because that's all I see when I look at the size of her abdomen, lol)

I've had this particular oto cat for...

Thanks for the information, guys. :)

The new fry may not be an issue now, I just got home from work and I think that my platy aborted the fry. No more gravid spot. Should there be evidence...

Posted a couple of questions in the Breeding forum, totally didn't see that first time around, lol.

And, I'm sure this is common and inevitable, but I totally have tank envy on everyone else's...

Hello!

So, this could apply to all livebearers, I'm sure, but when should I sex them to separate the platy fry I have right now? Or, more appropriately, when should I be able to distinguish,...

I know, I'm kind of hoping for her to hold them for at least a little while longer so I can get a couple more tanks set up and going. I still have my first batch of fry that aren't even a month old...

lol, thanks!

:41: My fry are so cute, still can't get a good pic though, lol. I recently just found 2 more fry in the tank with the mother, and they're the same size as the other fry, so those little buggers...

The platy has two really docile male lyretail guppies in with her, and two oto cats who ignore everything except for the bubbles, lol. I haven't seen any harassment, but I'll watch more closely and...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm fine with my 1g. I picked up the 7.5W Hydor Mini , and it's for 2-5g, but I'm sure it will be fine in the 1g, I'll keep a close eye on it tonight. The temp right...

Nope, I picked up a Whisper filter to go in there as well, and I think I am going to have to go pick up a heater today. I debated about it yesterday, because my other tanks sustain okay on light...

Holy crap, 18 fry!

I ended up deciding to put them up in a small tank of their own, a little 1g for now. The only breeding nets that I could find were practically that size anyway, so I figured...

Your fry are so cute! <3 I tried getting a picture last night when about 10 of them were gathered in a plant, but the lighting isn't right.

And thank you, guys, for the feeding tips. I finally...

Thank you so much, guys. I'm definitely going out tomorrow to pick up a breeding trap, I can see how it would make it a hell of a lot easier to keep track of and feed them that way.

I've never...

You did, thank you. :) I'm just going to throw out more questions as I think of them.

1) I tried finely ground flake food, but the few brave fry up near the surface didn't seem to be the least...

Okay, I'm freaking out a bit.

I was minding my business, watching a movie, and happened to look over at my tank that holds 2 lyretail guppies and 1 platy (which I had thought up until tonight was...
