Another thing about the livebearers (especially the mollies): the males can stress out the females a lot because they always chase them to mate, so it's usually better to keep only one gender, or keep males and females at a ratio of 1:3 approximately. Also, livebearers can breed like crazy...

Size is probably fine for them temporarily, however another main issue is water stats- i don't know much about gouramis but perhaps they require much different water stats than cardinals?

Thankfully I have a vacant 4 gallon that will hopefully do it for them! What I'm planning is leaving the females and giving away the males as soon as I can tell the sexes apart (I have a friend who is willing to take the males). Will I be able to tell the males and females apart before they...

So I recently moved my new female balloon mollies into their new tank, and today my mom noticed a few (~6) babies in the quarantine tank! This is my first time dealing with babies. Can someone please tell me how old they look, and what to feed them? Also, at what age can you see if they're male...

Thanks! Maybe you know also if the top one is male or female?

Hi, can someone please help ID this gourami?

I recently bought 2 new female balloon mollies to be friends with my older one, that I've had for 1?5 years. I quarantined them for 2 weeks and just yesterday moved them to the 29g. They seems to be acclimating pretty well, exploring a lot and being active, they chase the older mollie a bit but...

I don't really see anything weird in the photos... Can you elaborate on what exactly you saw?

I don't get what you're talking about. Is the first photos the same fish or not? Is the issue you're asking about sudden color change?

Wait there's 2 fish? I thought it was side by side pics of the same fish before and after?

Hi, how long have you had this fish? Also, any changes in its behavious? Lethargy? Loss of appetite? Cause it really looks like a color change

Hi, is the platy acting as normal? Any lethargy, loss of appetite? Anything with the other platy?

Test strips in general aren't very reliable. The good thing about them is that they give me a good 'general picture' of what's going on in the tank. I always take the results with a grain of salt, and I use liquid test kits for the specific parameters I want to check, but they are great for when...

Hey, sorry about your fish Unfortunately it really just happens that fast sometimes... I don't have too much knowledge about meds, but I personally wouldn't use it unless I see more sick fish. Still, I would suggest you ask someone else about whether it's safe/recommended to use as a...

Yeah, looks like columnaris to me. It's best to treat the sick fish alone cause medicine can stress out the other fish. If you don't have any other options available, I guess you could use the medicine in the main tank, although it's best you ask someone else about that, I don't have any...

I don't really know how infectious it is, I only experienced it with my betta that was alone in her tank. It's best to quarantine it anyway, to make sure it doesn't spread and that he doesn't get picked on. Temperature is ok, I think. Can you include a clearer picture? I want to make sure it's...

Hi, if you're able to, please add some clearer pics. This looks a lot like columnaris- cotton wool disease. Quarantine the guppy asap. Is the guppy eating? Lethargic? Overall behavior? Also look out for any other fish (especially new ones) with similar symptoms and quarantinethem as well. The...

Congratulations! The new babies are absolutely tiny so it's no surprise you can't see most of them. Don't worry, there certainly are more hiding around the tank!

I really like the way the rocks are arranged! I'd add a big plant in the empty side of the tank (something like a big crypt or an amazon sword) to fill out the space, and i'I'd suggest some tall and thin plants to decorate around the rocks. I don't know any plants by name so I'll attach a pic of...

Oh yeah plants are great! Lots of plants won't really grow unless you have a special substrate (usually costs a lot) but Anubias are pretty much indestructible and grow for a long time. I got an anubia 1.5 years ago and it grew from having 3 leaves to having over 15, and it's a huge centerpiece...
