Omg that would make so much more sense if she was a juvenile. I have no idea how old either of them are. I’ve heard they only turn yellow when they’re ready to spawn but I didn’t consider she may be too young. Does the yellow color signify ability to spawn or willingness to spawn?

I recently got a new heater to replace my old one since the new one has an adjustable temperature. But how can I replace it? Specifically, how can I get the suction cups to stick to the back glass with water in the tank?! I know it sounds silly, but I’m serious. I can never get them to stick well with water.

I’m switching from a Tetra Whisper 20 to a Seachem Tidal 55. The Tetra is cycled but only has sponges in it. The Tidal has a weird shaped media basket so I can’t just chuck my sponge in there. I’m running them together for a week or two so that beneficial bacteria can grow in there. Is that silly or am I right in thinking that’s a good idea so I don’t disrupt my cycle?

Thanks! Can you recommend a 100w heater that’s adjustable? BTW, is your profile photo a Cane Corso? Those are beautiful dogs 🙂

Yes!

I’m trying to breed these guys but she isn’t having any of it from him. She doesn’t seem to like him at all. The picture is of the female with a male for comparison. Any breeding tips beyond changing temperature? My heater can’t do that. They have 2 caves and lots of hiding spots. Edit: Realizing I should have posted this in the breeding section!

Someone else told me this is what is happening, I thought it was crazy! That’s so funny, they do that sideways dancing thing all the time. Is it harmful to the Platys? I mean, they’re clearly annoyed at the Endlers’ but I’d live with it if it wasn’t actively harmful.

Thank you so much. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Sure!

I have some. The tank is stocked with a mystery snail, a male/female Apistogramma pair, 4 cardinal tetras, and an Oto Cat. It’s a 20G high so it’s pretty close to fully stocked. Maybe that’s not enough? Water parameters are good. I recently had a bad nitrite spike, but this has been happening long before that. I added some Seachem Prime, and did a large water change and it was all taken care of.

Hi, The title says it all. The Platys are the newest fish (less than 2 weeks since I bought them), the Endlers' are part of the original stock. Those two little Endlers' chase the Platys everywhere. I can see no visible damage anywhere on the fins, and for all I know they're "playing", but it doesn't look like they are. The Platys appear stressed (swimming up and down the sides of the tank). I have plenty of plants in the background and driftwood to hide in/under (and caves for my Apistos, but it's usually only the Apistos that go in there). They only do this to each other, and also to themselves. Every other fish is cool and peaceful and gets along. I can't separate them (only 1 tank). I don't know what to do, short of getting a breeder box and temporarily putting the Endlers' in there. Any advice would be appreciated. I've never had a bully fish before. Thank you all 🙂
