10 gallon tank, 2 fish, both platy, Tank is filtered by a hang on back with a prefilter sponge, Temperature is 78°F or around 26°C, I do about a 20-30% water change at the end of every week. The tank has been setup since March 2020. Also forgot to mention, I also noticed a black spot thing...

So a few months ago I had a major die-off of fish, thankfully I have since been able to recover, whatever sickness they had is thankfully gone now. Problem is that one of the fish I had (A grey mickey mouse platy) was pregnant at the time. I could tell this for a few reasons, 1: I witnessed the...

I don't have water in the tank yet since I planned to do that when I got the plants, but maybe Ill just add water in for now and drain it when the plants come.

I was setting up a tank today and I was supposed to get a shipment of a bunch of plants, so I set up the tank, added my substrate, rocks, and wood. All I needed was the plants, so I could begin adding water and planting, but my shipment got delayed, so now I have a tank that is almost setup, but...

Oh the white spot isn't on a cory, I guess I should've cleared that up, the white spot is on a platy, basically I have a tank with 2 adult platy, one of which has the white spot, and I want to move them into a tank with the juvenile and 4 corys.

The white spot isn't fuzzy, the fish has had that white spot since January and the white spot never appeared on the other adult fish I had it with. The tank 2 adults are in is a 10 gallon while the tank that the cory and juvenile are in (the tank I want to move the adults to) a 29 gallon tank...

So last Decemeber I had an ammonia spike and lost alot of my baby fish, I was only able to save 1 baby fish, but luckily all of my albino corys survived and recovered quickly, the only signs they show me that may be conserning is that they aren't as active anymore, but then again I cant tell if...

Since Im getting back into the hobby I wanted to get back in with something a bit simpler. I already have all the supplies I need, I just need to clean out my 10 gallon, get a new substrate for it, and buy live plants. I wanted to do a dirt layer and then cap that off with fluval I stratum...

So it's been awhile since I last said something and if you know my situation then you probably know that I said I was taking a break from the hobby due to losing motivation, I still own the fish though and wont get rif of them because they haven't fully healed, and im still attached to them...

Thank you, this helps answer my consern.

So if you know me then you know I have been struggling with my fish of late and have done everything I can to keep them alive, of the (roughly) 40 fry, 2 remain alive, of the 4 albino cory, all remain. My consern comes in with the 2 fry, all of my fry's that died had a deformed tail before...

Thanks this helps, I do this after I see how thos turns out, Ill probably end up using the tank for something in the future, but for now I just want to take a break so I can figure out my next move.

So the recent loss of practically all 40 of my fry due to an ammonia spike came as a shock to me and I only have 7 fry left, 4 albino corys, and 2 grown female platy who are fighting a stubbern 2nd wave of ich. Due to all this I have decided to "quit" the hobby for a short amount of time until I...

My ammonia went back down to 0.25 after a lot of water removal. I uset to use a hang on back filter, but when I moves that towards the center of the tank to help the amount of flow in my tank the fish werent ready for the nee placement of the filter and got caught in it, so I swapped to a...

So a Little more than 3 hours later, since then I have removed all plants and rock, removed all the corpses I can find, and did the change of water. Even more fish look like they are on the break of death, not a singel fry in there looks or is behaving as if they will make it, most of then are...
