Yeah I’ve read up on how tough they are to breed. But you know... we need some small, ridiculous hope these days. Like amano fry surviving in freshwater!

I have an angelfish who is such a piggy they will attack the tank mates only when it’s past feeding time. Randomly charging fish they usually care nothing for as I watch them. Pretty sure it’s a ‘hangry’ feed me now!! act. Female Betta does what I can only describe as a fan dance when it’s time...

The amanos shouldn’t be an issue if they stay alive and grow up. Great shrimp.

I know. The packaging is deceptive. They can’t sell more fish food without pushing the product though. And I believe every fish is different. I have a Betta who will maybe eat the equivalent of 3 pellets a day, no more (actually hates pellets and bloodworms). Another who would eat everything...

Personally I’d let him fast a couple days and then go to 3 pellets once a day for a while. 6 pellets once a day could be a lot for some fish but 12... wow. :/

Instead of getting to previously planned wc a day early I decided to move my clown killis from the 15 to the 45. Had been the plan for a while since I figured they would nicely blend with the mid to upper tank mates in the 45 and the endlers are dropping fry in the 15.. I managed to get 5 out...

I will never buy fish from petsmart again. I decided to get a rather bullied angelfish from there a while back, against my better judgement. Put them in the quarantine tank. They were ill from the moment I got them until 5 days later when they died. Medicated the tank. Wc every day. Planted...

The one on upper right is 1 of 4 elder fry. The small one on left is from the 30-40 that showed up in the past week or so.

Yeah. I am. In panic mode and giving them away. Lfs said he’d take them but I wondered if they were too young.

First tank is 9g (this is why I’m worried), 1 betta, 2 adult female endlers, 10 shrimp/snails and the 30-40 fry that I suspect is more like 50 and will probably head towards 100 if they keep dropping at this rate. I may just have to move the pregnant females to a near empty 15g most likely. They...

Well I don’t want them to get eaten but I do know that it’s natural and can happen. I also know that I don’t have tank space for what will shortly be over 50 endlers. Probably close to 100 at the rate the females are giving birth. And I don’t want them to die because tank conditions were less...

Might want to wait for the tank to be fully established ie have a bio film or algae growth before moving the pleco. Even with plentiful wood I’ve found new tanks to be less than ideal for them.

Well yeah, I was wondering about their ability to adjust to even minor tank differences - my Gourami fry were much more sensitive than the livebearers have been so far but I’m still not experienced at all in fish raising to know if that goes for more than just water changes and such in altering...

I had two bettas recently in 2.6 fully filtered, planted and heated tanks for a month or so. They were only in there as hospital homes though. While they are technically ok in a properly setup 2.5-3g tank, and as an only fish of course, I personally don’t think they should be in anything less...

At what age can I safely move them? To another tank or to the lfs.. Im sure this is somewhere out there but thought I’d do a quick ask from those with experience. Going to have 30-50 fry more than I have tank space for soon.

Ok. Thank you. I figured that might be best but worried the fish might pick them off. I love the blue velvets! They’ve been great tank additions.

As I was cleaning the now overstocked 9g (pretty sure there’s 20+ endler fry in there now, in addition to the 5 original fish) I was bummed to see 1 dead blue velvet shrimp but happy to see a couple shrimp fry as well. What I then discovered was 6-7 shrimp fry that I’d sucked up into the bucket...

I had 5 fish in a 9g which included a betta and 2 endler male/female combo from LFS. I figured, incorrectly, that between the shrimp and the Betta (not an aggressive guy but still..) the fry would be kept to a minimum if I even had any show up, until I could figure out a true larger tank for the...

I finally got out most of the previous requests (and there were quite a few), and I once again have a lot of extras to send out. -Salvinia Minima - aka floating fern, ak Water Spangles - I have a bucketful or two, I will ship anyone as much as they want (Keep in mind Salvinia itself is a...

Well I believe that one made it out, and joined the other 3 'elder' fry in the tank, however the very next day one of the other Mamas in another tank gave birth and 3 fry ended up in the filter section there on the 15g, and then of course I've got new fry in the 9g and they're in the filter...
