I just press my phone camera onto one of the lens to get the photo! You can get little camera attachments for it apparently- I might do that later because it's so hard to focus it (takes 20+ shots to get one good one) and the images need to be cropped down a lot to get a good view. I'm doing a...

Breaking news! A baby just hatched! I was binging criminal minds and looking at em every few minutes, it happened so fast I didn't get pics! This is the biggest one, I'd expect the others to be on their way today. I'm keeping a close eye on everyone so that I can get footage of the next hatch...

A clutch of bladder snail eggs under my microscope! You can see their beady black eyes and they roll around in their egg moving their mouths. Entertainment for hours.

Got a microscope for my birthday, super cool to look at tank stuff under! Found a few clutches of bladder snails, here's the pics. They're sitting on elodea leaves. I also have pics of filter media under the scope- it's like a jungle in there. Might post that if people like the snails This...

I keep mollies and a few platies, I've found that for me gravid spots aren't always a surefire thing. I have a big molly about the same color as your platy and she gives me 20+ babies every few months without a spot.

Looks pretty chunky to me, if she's been kept with males she's almost definitely preggers.

Your tank is stocked up quite a bit, I would recommend angels if you had a little more room. Try a nice looking betta, I second koi! Something with short fins (tetras bother the heck out of long fins) Absolutely beautiful tank!! Love the plants.

I second laser cories! Usually I'd reccomend adding more tetras to the school but they get pretty big so I'd stick with the few. Cories are super fun and wiggly, so are smaller plecos (i have a baby bristlenose in my 29) and snails, especially mysteries! I have a soft spot for mysteries- they...

Hi! It sounds like you already have the crayfish, but they can be pretty aggressive towards other fish. Check out AqAdvisor for a good start on stocking. The crayfish unfortunately may commit mass murder on the shrimp especially and the tank feels a bit overstocked. Also, I'd put that dwarf...

One of my molly fry has a half blue eye and a full blue eye! Half side is the closest to the camera, couldn't get a pic of the full blue side.

My mollies Finley and Julius (gold & gold/black) had like 20 kids a week ago, they're in baby jail now. I took them all out of jail and into this shallow tupperware during a water change to get a real good look at them all- I found a bunch of cool patterns when you look close! (little heart head...

Deeply retracted white mystery snail, found him this morning upside down with the pleco bothering him. Was zooming around last night. Operculum is squeezed back as far as possible, no smell. Put him in my baby molly breeder trap, no movement or signs of life. Tank is 6.7 ph (working on slowly...

just a cherry, I have some japanese amanos too but they're bigger and aggressive

hi! total noob to breeding, but I have a breeder net with 10(ish) day old molly. It was the only one who outran the wrath of my tetras before I could get home. I have a 30gal tank- 3 mollies, a random platy, a 2 inch bristlenose, 5 black skirts, a few mystery snails and shrimp. Once the molly...

At my local fish store I was picking up some new snails and plants. They had this massive tank by the cichlid section filled with elodea, hornwort, duckweed, etc that was super overgrown. I asked for some hornwort from the tank and they gave me bushels and bushels of plants for a few pennies- we...
