ok, Thank you. I do have them with other fish. I have some duckweed and some other plants i forget the name of XD

they are capable of eating them, but in my experience, they usually don't if you keep them fed 🙂

Its probably harmeless, or almost harmless. Just treat with a antifungal. If your talking about the clear string, its poop. sometimes signs of a blocked intestine, you can deshell a pea and put it in there to help with constipation

First one is a female guppy that is pregnant FYI. the second one is a male

Try endlers or guppies! they are really fun for color and are small so you can have quite a bit

OMG an ENDLER GUY!! tell me everything i need to know to raise them and keep them forever!

The snail thing is so right 🤣

DISCLAIMER : I AM NOT MASS BREEDING! I have a 25 gallon tank that I want to use as a birthing/nursery tank. My main tank is an 85 gallon aquarium and holds some fish (the current guppies). First set of questions: How do I cover the filter intake without buying a sponge filter? should I remove the gravel from the tank to get a bare bottom and just fill in with plants? Is this more efficent than a bunch of breeding nets? I also have some basic questions about breeding next set of questions: How do I create pairs? If I just let them free-breed, will they pick better colors? If I let them free-breed, is inbreeding a large issue? How do I pair them up (but not with the same type of guppy) to create a more colorful and valuable guppy? How do I create my own strain of guppy, and how do I know if its a new strain? Am I allowed to name the guppies type despite the name everyone else calls them if I sell them? Am I allowed to name my own strain of guppies? If I name my strain, will other people obay the strain name or not? where do i find the best low price BULK fry food? I have one more unrelated question. I have a 45 gallon tank that I found. could I put the filter from my 25 gallon (its a HOB) onto the 45? I would do this so the space was larger for the fry and so i could divide and have a birthing spot for females and not risk some being eaten. My plan for the birthing and fry tank is, basically a collection box. The first female gives birth, I remove and place her back in main tank, I raise fry. Next female goes into labor, I place her in there with the growing fry so she gives birth, then remove her into the main tank. So on and so forth. I was thinking with the 45, I would divide female into one section so other fry are on the other side, have her give birth, then remove divider. I could also just have the female give birth in the net, then release babies and put her back in main. any better ideas?

I want to move them out of the breeder net into the 25 gallon tank I have. It has no fish in it. How do i cover the filter intake to keep them from getting sucked up? Is it a better idea to just keep them int he breeder net?

what happened

I stopped at the LFS yesterday to pick up some 5/$1 fry. I got like 13 for $2 and all have survived so far. I'm feeding haraki nano pellets. Any other fast growing food ideas? I want them to fatten up quickly so they can go into my main tank. (they are in a breeding net right now with 2 male grown endlers, I couldn't get them out of the breeding net and they aren't doing any harm.)

LFS said yall were right.

no more pics, im lazy

Any idea on what kind of fish this is? do i need to get more, is it a shoaling fish? I got it in the LFS's breeding 5/$1 feeder tank 🙂 along with some endlers and endler fry 🤣 sorry for the rotated pic .

My friend's dad was going to Euthanize, I took him because she wants him to live. I want an alternative, not euthanize. I can't post a pic rn

I have aquired a betta (gladly) that has a tumor on it's tail. It's scales are pine-coning, has some bad fin rot, and cannot swim. It is being held down by the tumor (?) on its tail. The tumor is turning white, and it looks almost like a fungus. where do I start??

ok, Female stopped dropping fry, the one fry seems to have dissapeared, prob eaten. Fingers crossed thats not the case but 🙂 Posting photos of my fish tmr night

at 4:50 female molly (black) went into labor, gave birth to 1st fry aprox. 1-2 min after to first fry, which was deceased (and not fully formed). So far, only 1 fry is fully formed and alive.

I went to the LFS yesterday, still havent gotten to do the cories, but we bought : - 8 glofish tetras (for the shoaling or wtvr) - 4 guppies (males, and are SOOOO pretty, will post pics soon) - 1 lyretail molly (it was too irrisitable heh) - and one swordtail (also too irristable)

I have secrets to fishkeeping lol!

more pics!!

It won't hurt your fish, it's an antifungal/bacterial, so it's technically a unneeded medication. I don't have a real answer for that but here is a trustable article. https://www.macsenlab.com/blog/methylene-blues-uses-in-fish-aquaculture/#:~:text=Methylene Blue is often used,eggs to avoid fungal overgrowth.&text=Methylene Blue is utilized in,eggs to prevent fungal overgrowth.

aww! I will have to share my tank when it fills in with more plants (im getting more) and when it is fully stocked, but here XD, im pretty much jsut trying to plant farm rn... Mali the Plant Farmer 🤣

methylene blue may help
