Hello everyone, I thought my platys had l live bearer disease but I’ve now lost 3 angel fish too. The fish are okay, and then the next day they display as if they cannot support their tail, slower swimming, and start to look skinny. My angels that died all had sunken heads , when looking at them...

Sparky has given great advice, I agree with the smaller water changes and lights out, she sounds stressed and it’s great she took some food from you. Keep an eye out for anymore changes in her or the other fish still, as they are newly added and can still present disease. Hopefully shes coming...

They are soo beautiful! I never knew they came in such interesting colors , I just had a plain blue one from the petstore, his name was Blue haha he sure had a personality and seemed to remember me. Wish they got better treatment, they deserve so much more then the cups they are forced to live...

Maybe stress Ich? I have a large platinum that I got from the pet shop with bumps on his fins, they never spread to any other fish and his have never gotten worse/better…

I boil them for a few minutes and you just pop them out of the skin and feed, for me I fed half a pea at a time to make sure it wasn’t wasted and all the fish came to devour it as soon as it hit the water

If it’s been up and running for a few years I would assume you have lots of Algea hiding they can eat off of, especially on the wood. I have 4 otos in my 110g and I was so scared they would eat it clean but so far they actually havnt really even made a dent, maybe I just have lazy ottos? Haha...

Wow those are gorgeous, hard to believe they are real fish! I remember when I had guppies as a teen, the only fancy males I could purchase from the petstore were the yellow tail with black spots on it, I think it’s called yellow cobra? I had lots of guppies but that color stands out particularly...

I would say the biggest “ding dong” fish in my opinion are neon tetras, the most skittish I’ve had would be pleco, never have I seen a fish bolt so often and hit the glass so many times in a hurry as the pleco. And the smartest fish would be bettas or angel fish, the ones I’ve had are stalkers...

In my personal experience the pleco completly devoured all my plants within an inch of their life, and wasn’t the best at actually cleaning up the algae issue, so I traded it for a Siamese reticulated flying fox, so far it’s doing a much better job. Also as previous poster said, plecos are very...

I have 11 angels with platies and mollies and a corydora and they all get along great

Do you have a breeder box? I’m currently dealing with a mollie who ate a snail, I’ve had one of my angels do this and he was miserable for probably 2 weeks befor he was able to finally spit it out. Unfortunately I think she is too small to get the snail out. We put her in a small floating...

I have 11 angels in a 110 and some other community fish aswell in there and it still looks bare sometimes lol she could add many more fish to her aquarium, just make sure it won’t nip the angels fins, or depending on the angels size, it won’t make a quick snack of the new additions to the...

Angelfish have varying personalities, and they can be downright meanies, or perfect little angels. I have a big aquarium with lots of angels and when they pair up to breed I make sure to remove the eggs right away so the pair don’t keep chasing and guarding and stressing the rest of the tank...

I have a reticulated flying fox fish, it’s a type of Siamese Algea eater, apparently good for all kinds of nuisance Algeas like black beard and hair Algea, and even diatoms.

Not a good enough pic to tell. I have blue spot gourami and the male has a much longer top fin than my female, and as far as behaviour he also loves to swim to her and chase her away , he makes a point to find her just to move her, so there’s that lol.
