Not a urgent thing (this has happened every other month or so) but my bronze cory sometimes gets white spots on their tail. They are the only one, and I've only seen them once they are fully there. Once they show up, they immediately start to fall off and the cory doesn't show any irritation...

you also might want to move the injured cory to a separate tank or isolate him, in a breeder box, it will stress him a little to be alone, but cories usually have terrible self preservation instincts (byproduct of being so hard to eat) so if your betta is nipping at him at all he might just not...

what are you feeding her? ive seen other livebearers that have eaten too much food, especially freeze dried, that end up with a similar poop due to it. my own female guppies get that kind hanger right before they have the babies, not 100% sure what causes it but i think its just because...

I need to replace my heater, and I usually hear good things about Hygger and so I was thinking about getting their titanium tube heater, because for whatever reason the outside of my current heater is having a ton of issues, and I need to clean the surface a lot, which isn't always great for the...

Sorry for getting back to this so late! I took all the stones out and they doing much better! The one that died just refused to eat, which seemed to be because he was so stressed.

Thanks! I know that adding meds when they aren't needed can sometimes cause more issues, so after i remove the gravel do you think it would be smart to wait a while to see if the issues stop? I've never really had experience with flukes, so I'm not sure how urgent this is for them?

I know that come of the fresh water puffers will eat snails, but 3 assassins might not be enough for that size with that many plants. I had a heavily planted 20G with 5 assassins that were just barely keeping up, even with the elephant graveyard of snail shells growing. The easiest thing to do...

yupp! look up nerite sleep patterns, it explains a lot of their weird quirks that might otherwise cause alarm

oh really? I didnt realize that! my LFS keeps their livebearers all heated so that's just what I was doing as well!

will do! just gotta finish the water change first

thanks the apartment is around 65 for some reason and the heater refuses to cooperate in their room so,,, better safe than sorry!

Look up balloon mollies, that may not be it but that is my best guess Regular mollies are less puffy!

My roommate has a female guppy that is pretty pregnant, and her heater broke in a recent move. I have a heavily planted 20G with just some microrasboras and a few cherry shrimp! I know the guppy might harass the shrimp some, but she was already living with ghost shrimp and didn't mess with them...

Ah ok thank you! and yupp they are emerald! that makes more sense that they are in the same genus
