  1. Always exciting when a fish is about to drop some fry!
  2. Most guppy breeders have a thick form of vegeatation. Plants such as, -Guppy Grass -Most Floating Plants -etc. Will work great! An idea would be to move the adults to a seperate tank (like the 10 gallon). And then once the fry, are old enough to withstand a tank of adults move them in and get thick plants, for future fry to hid in. Does that make sense?
  3. I would keep an eye on the other fish making sure they don't show any of those symptoms.
  4. get more cardinals (like 4-6). if that doesn't work try the breeder box.
  5. Maybe the powerbar cant take both outlets, like maybe you have too many outlets plugged in??
  6. I would get some dither fish. This will cause the endlers to spread up their aggression to other fish, this way not all of their agression is on the platys. As far as them being stressed, check your water parameters and do a waterchange, add a water conditioner to the water to make sure there isn't any heavy meatles in the water.
  7. It looks like parasites. are they eating? I would treat with the following... -API General Cure (assuming you have this where you live) -Aquarium Salt
  8. Assasin Snails will kill snails, regardless of kind of snail.
  9. Heres a list: -Forktail Rainbows -Silvertip Tetras -Yellow GloFish -Mollies/ Platys -Some Guppies
  10. most fungal/ bacteril infectintions can be solved with aquarium salt. I would try that.
  11. Most snails wont become a meal for a betta. A snail wouldn't do much because it would still poop, and its very messy. If its in 2.5 Gallons you would have to do waterchanges often anyways regardless of a little snail. But I would suggest floating plants as well, like duckweed or amazon frobit to keep those nitrties down in between waterchanges. I wouldn't do a snail, it will add too much bioload in such a small aquarium. But, if you still decide to do a snail here are some of my favroites -Apple Snail -Golden Mystery Snail -Nirite Snail
  12. Flowerhorns would defentley eat the shinners. I don't know about the koi or goldfish, but I would imagine they wouldn't. As for the flowerhorn many people feed their fish feeder fish such as shinners. The problem I have with this is if the shinners have a parasite then it could spread to the flowerhorn. Many people have successfully done this though, and I haven't ever heard a story of this happening. But I guess its like quarantining new fish, they probably don't have a disease but its better safe then sorry. No it could not be a exclusive diet, thats like eating only salad for the rest of your life or only fruit, where are your carbs and main source of protein? And you would probably get bored of it after a while. You could get a pellet or flake food for your flowerhorn along with your koi/ goldfish. You don't necessarily need to get a high quality food either. It could be something as cheep as Tetra food, which is like 10 bucks for a good size container.
  13. I've never owned discus or have I ever used easy green (I live in canada so...) So perhaps somone who has more experiance then I in this can pitch in. @Danielhas kept/ bred discus, i don't with easy green.
  14. The biggest concern I have with this would be when the crayfish grows up, he my try to eat the puffer. which would result in both deaths. pufferfish are a poisnous fish, meaning that if you injest them, you die.
  15. after looking at the pictures I think its a male. But that just doesn't explain why it gets fatter every day without me feeding it. I will send a pic as soon as the tank lights turn on.
  16. stressed fish, fish stop eating, sunken bellies, and any symptoms that don't seem right. It tooks my pleco a solid month before he sarted coming out of his cave, now when I do see him, he scurrys away really fast.
  17. I picked up from the store a month ago, what i thought was two male guppies. Now one is really fat, and only gets fatter. I haven't fed him/ her in a few days in hopes he would loose some fat, instead hed gaining fat. Now I think its pregnant, but its a male isn't it? Or am I wrong and its a female?
  18. I wouldn't keep any of these guys at 65- 75F. Cichlids like their water warm so like 80-82. You may be able to get away with it in the summer. But for all of these guys 75-84F Is where they will do best, the warmer the better.
  19. yes do a waterchange to lower the nitrates to about 20-30ppm. Then you can add your betta back.
  20. looks like gill flukes, I would try Praziquantel to mediacate along with aquarium salt i dont know if the Praziquantel is plant safe, so you may want to move the guy to another tank.
  21. they don't ship any fish, only plants and dry goods. But they only ship the plants and dry good to the U.S
  22. it seems risky to me. The betta fish like there water at 79-80F. 82F might be pushing it a bit.
  23. get easy iron if you plan on putting plants in the tank that have red on them like the scarlet temple. Easy Green will be fine and the substrate won't confilict with the reccemonded time for your root tabs. I beleive Cory has said in previous live streams that planted tank substrate is almost pointless and can normal aquarium sand can be substituded for that.
