  1. the female could have been bred to a different male before you got them too.
  2. they are probably all the same basic strain, but with guppies, even with good strains you need to cull undesireables if your goal is an all look alike strain. they have recessive gene's that pop out in some of the fry.
  3. minnow traps are a great way to find out.....
  4. odd that adding an extra didnt work, but then changing out the original did. whatever keeps the fish happy i guess.
  5. i do some research, but take everything with a grain of salt. so many varied experiences, and so many old wives tales in fish keeping. you kind of have to sort through the bull dung.
  6. options really become dependent on the betta's temperment. pleco should be fine with a betta, and of the other two options id lean towards the rasbora as they are just a bit hardier.
  7. i saw the vid, and was also hmmm. had never seen an above filtration before.
  8. i wouldnt hesitate 1 second to use that stand.
  9. nothing, just long time use. key to any scaping is to use what is most pleasing to your eye. slate is good for making structure, and even screwing down pieces of wood that wont stop floating.
  10. ive always like slate myself, but have both.😎
  11. root tabs really arent needed for anubia's. even if they were growing along the substrate. they do excellent feeding from the water column.
  12. i find the vid on youtube, right clip over video save video , then here right clip then paste. it should auto link on its own.
  13. the stuff works, but really only needed in a non established aquarium. my all time favorite is fluval cycle, and can also recommend fritzyme7.
  14. hygger makes some fairly decent inexpensive lights.
  15. stuff with copper sulfate in it will generally kill snails quickly. to be noted, it will kill any snail,shrimp,crab, it doesnt care. also in heavy enough doses that are sometimes required to eliminate snails, it can harm fish.
  16. if they dried up, odds are slim they will recover. best you can do is put them in water, and wait to see what happens.
  17. i put them next to the roots of the plant i am targeting.
  18. the way its sitting makes me believe there is an air bubble in it. in that case, yes a fish nudging it may have caused it to raise up.
  19. that stuff is spooky first time you get it. its an ohhh crud whats happening moment. it will go away in time. some pieces of wood take 2 or 3 weeks, some take a couple of months. its ugly but harmless.
  20. stressed from being moved, and possibly a little iffy from the conditions of the tank it was in.
