Thanks Paul,

I thought it was possible, but the other two posters seemed to think I was crazy. It totally makes sense. I wish I had been paying closer attention so I could have seen it happening,...

Are you guys saying it's impossible that a female guppy changed sexes? Normally I could sex other guppies after just a month or two. These guppies are at least 7 months old. Are you suggesting that...

It wasn't sold to me, I raised all of those guppies. I've raised many guppies in the past, and could always identify there sex before they were this old. I swear all four were female.

I cleaned my tank today, and I noticed one of my female Guppies had a red and black tail. I thought to myself, wow, I guess the females start to look less dull when they get older. But then I notice...

Yes, my ammonia is 0, nitrites 0, nitrates 10 or 20 (I can never read that chart).

I moved my 20G tank this weekend. I put all my fish and plants in a bucket. Emptied the water and put the substrate into another bucket. I broke everything down and removed the media from my Fluval...

Those sneaky snails! I setup a QT tank to move the affected guppy into. I seeded the tank with media from my main tank. Now QT has a snail! I guess it was in the media? Nothing else has crossed...

I was able to get a slightly better picture.

Also check out my snail infestation on that rock! Haha. I think I might have to get an...

The only other tank mates are harlequin rasboras and some snails.

My oldest guppy has a chunk of flesh missing from her back. I'm not sure what to do? It looks pretty bad. I couldn't get a good picture of it, so here's a bad picture of it:
...

Yay! The picture of my harlequins placed first in the picture of the month contest.

Why would it be that different color? I've never seen one that color.

I've had guppies for awhile, and the fry is usually a gray color, doesn't stand out much. I recently add some Harelquin Rasboras to my tank, and now I have a fry that's a brighter color, is this just...

So while you wait a few weeks for your QT to grow some nice algae. Do you keep fish in there to keep it cycled? Or do you just let the BB die and then seed with media from your main tank before you...

I wanted to get some more otos. The ones I had before all died when I upgraded to a larger tank. I have a 5 gallon tank up that's cycled. I was just curious, since I feel like I should always QT fish...

The 5 gallon tank has been cycled for a few days. I'm moving the harlequins back to my 20 gallon tank, they're in a bucket being drip acclimated right now.

Since my 5 gallon is cycled I wanted to...

+1 sheamurai.

The Fluval 3 is rated for 34 US Gal, and takes 6 watts of power. The Eheim 2211 canister filter is rated for 40 US Gal, and it only takes 5 watts. So I'd say they're comparable in...

I still have the remaining five harlequins in a separate tank. They seem to be okay so I'm thinking about moving them back to the 20 gallon tank soon.

Should I drip aclimate them back to the main...

I'm no expert, but, It doesn't sound like Ich or Velvet.

Could be Columnaris, but they said the fin aren't ragged. The missing fins could be from fin rot? Sounds like fungus to me.

Yes, they sat "Just Add Water and Plug It In" in the header. The description says:

They don't really talk about cycling, or the amount of maintenance required to get it cycled. I'm guessing it...

I was just browsing the net and I found a site that sells tanks for jellyfish, along with jellyfish and jellyfish food. Has anyone else heard of this?
...

Sunny and 63 here. :) On Thursday it was 68!

Nope! Sorry for the confusion, they're all my nitrite reading, just from different readings. The far left one was the first on around 5 PM, then the middle was was taken around 6 PM and the last one...

Yes, I'm using Prime. Also these are the Nitrite test results. The ammonia test is the middle scale, it goes yellow to green. The ammonia reading is 0.25 ppm, but so is my tap water.

Both of the ones that had fin problems died. The rest of them seem fine. I just treated all of them for good measure. I quoted my test readings a bit incorrectly, my eyesight fails me, I'm colorblind...
