Hey y’all it’s been a while, my daughters tank was doing pretty well after down sizing, but the other day tragedy struck. My 2 year old twin boys found the pleco’s algae tablets and decided to help feed the fish early one morning and dumped 3/4the of the bag into the 15 gallon tank. I discover...

It’s only like 2 maybe 2.5 inches long. I guess like a ton of solutions in this hobby is wait and see lol

Ok guys so update on these fish. They have gotten a little bigger and are starting to look like mollies. Their eyes seem to have become more on the side of their heads and their tails have gotten less clear. Sorry to waste y’all’s time! I just was so freaked out cause they looked absolutely...

Ok guys. So my BN is black and I guess around 6 months old. There are not a lot of bristles maybe like 2 so I’m assuming female. I do have a lot of bladder snails. My friend came over and identified the jelly like globs as bladder snails eggs. And I have a smaller tank that also has them and I...

UPDATE There are more of them and I found a bunch of these jelly like sacs that seem to have some little spots wriggling spots ..... I bought the plants to float on top a couple days after the babies were born so they would have a place to hide

Here is a better picture of some of the normal sized fry

It’s got 5 mollies and 1 BN Pleco. There are two male black and gold mollies, 1 female yellow ballon Molly (these were the three originals) I just added 1 female Dalmatian Molly and 1 female tangerine Molly.

Sure here yall go! And my daughter insisted I share the names of all of them too lol Red- Strawberry Snack Green - Green Peach Purple - Coral Yellow - Flames Pink - Pink Crystal

So about 2 weeks ago my Molly had her first babies. About 4 days ago I added two new female mollies. This morning my daughter noticed a baby fish that does not look like any of the others. It’s only half the size of the other babies and look quite a bit different. Eye placement is more on the...

Hey all! The fish are all looking healthy and normal size now! I’ve also added a couple more glofish to the tank so they feel more at ease. Thank you all for the help!

That sounds like a plan to me! Don’t worry I don’t think you are being rude at all! On the contrary I really appreciate the advice. I had no idea that you needed at least 6 fish to consider it a school and I didn’t know that not having them in a school would create stress. And my paln is to...

Ok guys so finally got everything set up fish transferred and my water parameter are back to normal! Here is a link to the post that has details and pictures! https://www.fishlore.com/aquariumfishforum/threads/same-fish-new-fish-new-tank.397157/

Ok y’all so after the whole incident of me thinking my 10 gallon was a 20 gallon I have finally got the issue corrected. I was giving a 15 gallon tank and spread the fish out and now all my fish are looking happy and healthy! Only issue is now I have started to develop a small colony of bladder...

UPDATE: So I took y’all advice and I didn’t feed them on 3/12-3/13. There wasn’t only a small reduction in her belly size. I fed the tank late last night (about 4 hours after their normal feeding time cause my daughter was sick and I didn’t want to disturb her) and none of the 3 GloFish we have...

Awesome thank y’all! And we’ve only had them for a 5-6 months now

Hey y’all this is Strawberry Snack, the pinkish red GloFish in my daughters tank. Today I noticed she had a hyper swollen belly and being a beginner and all I have no clue what I’m looking at or how to deal with it! Any advice would be appreciated.

That’s exactly what I’m doing haha have you ever tried to take away a 5 year olds pet she really loves? It doesn’t go well.... I suggested re-homing some to her and she was on the floor in tears so we are doing this now haha But seriously thank you and everybody else for letting me know I’m...

Ok well as soon as I find one of those $1 per gallon sales I’ll upgrade to as big of a tank size as I can. Do you know if there a list of stores and when they run those sales? Considering what y’all have said I think I’ll move the Molly’s and BN pleco to the 15 and keep the tetras in the 10...

Someone told me aboutand I went to check it out, but when I put in my tank size (20g) I noticed those were definitely not my dimensions. I calculated it and turns out I have a 10 gallon tank. (It was my wife’s tank when she was a kid and she thought it was 20 so I never questioned it). This...

Thank you for the advice!
