Also, sorry for not answering your question earlier- Seachem Prime.

Lol that's not the case fortunately. My fish are too small anyway at barely one inch in over three months. Might have to resort to scooping water, and even then that would be everyday for how badly stunted their growth is.

Also, I might have to say that these fry are permanently stunted... over 3 months and they've grown to about 1 inch. I have no idea what else to do. I can't increase water changes since nobody will do it for me except for every other weekend. Can't even perform regular bucket changes since the...

So I've been monitoring my fry lately, and I'm unable to do frequent water changes since only my father is able to set up the siphon (I've tried, I'm not strong enough). So I've kinda been watching them grow, and up until now they were still kinda puny.   24 hours ago, I added some water into...

Yeah I'm so glad they're doing well! This is my first batch of fry that I have ever raised, so I'm still surprised that none of them have died under my care yet- still going strong 11/11 :D

Haha yeah I'm not trying to question their validity as winners, they're really cool and unique. Just found it kinda funny. Also, when I said three I was talking about the snail and... 2 large crustaceans? I didn't include the axolotl at the time since until I did more surfing on the forums I...

It's funny how some of these aren't even fish...

So I thought I would keep you guys posted since the last posting rampage where I spammed updates (sorry, :P). Anyway, since then the fish got a 60% water change and I've really seen some growth but not sure if they've passed the effects of early stunting... I'm doing another water change...

[5x post rampage] Released them into the main tank. Will be getting a new heater on Monday (EST US), which is when I'll do an all-out, 60% change.

Sorry for quadruple post but I've let them loose in the main tank, and the adults don't seem to care at all after an hour of them swimming around. I have some floating anacharis as surface cover.

I wish more stores adopted policies like these. I think a lot of n00bs have the problem of thinking that they can put a fish in a space that a fish can fit into at the moment and call it a day. That's one the basic problems for things like a goldfish in a small bowl, a betta in a 1/2 gallon...

As for the dead chap... did he show any signs of the shimmies (swimming up and down the tank's pane again and again)? Moving continuously between areas of high and low current? Swimming as if his fins were paddles? Fyi my swordtail exhibited slightly less severe symptoms and also died, but...

Now I know this is probably going to get a lot of flak... When I first got my 36 gallon tank, my first two fish were male swordtails. One was bigger and dominant, and always abused the smaller one. Out of curiosity and n00bishness, I started using a net to separate the two fish any time the...

A fry tank might finally be in order. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks for all the help so far! Antinerf

3rd Revision: Sorry for all the revisions, but I found a fish outside of the net breeder who is pretty much the same age and size. This seems to be a good sign, but he is sticking to the bottom for cover so I suppose using anacharis as surface cover is a must. I just did a head count inside the...
