I have a male and female paradise fish in a large heavily planted tank. They have had babies once but I didn’t intervene or take them out. One of the surviving fry is now about half of his mom’s size and lives in the tank too. My question is, I’ve had these guys for like a year and they are...

The shark, Krib and a Dempsey died. The loach was eaten by the knife fish I believe he said. I've offered to test his water with my kits and he's not taken me up on it. he's not done a water change even after the death in the tank. It's kind of a hopeless situation

I think you're dead on! Thanks B!!

Someone I know caught this off the coast of Florida and is trying to ID. A commenter said it appeared to be an aquarium fish. I was wondering if anyone knew for sure? They were stopped by fish and wildlife who let them keep it because they had no clue what it was either. Thanks!

To answer your question, there is no other larger peaceful fish that will work in your tank and with your current inhabitants.

Do they have places to hide in the tank? Also,the otocinculus doesn't belong in a ten gallon. He should be in more like a 30 gal.

Those do not look like orandas to me. What are their tails like? It's hard to tell from the photos. Are they fantailed or is the tail just single?

So lovely

Welcome :)

Your white cloud minnows prefer colder water than your tetra and barbs. Keeping them in warmer water will shorten their lifespan.

I would rehome all the platy or take them back to the store. Getting rid of a few of each kind of fish doesn't fix the issue of the species needing two different kinds of water to thrive. I would suggest purchasing an api master test kit. It will give you enough chemicals to test for years and...
