clearly in the fish shop they were trying to sell me the most fish possible... That's saddening.. I will probably get a bigger tank soon and maybe keep this small one as a Hospital tank

AHHHH i see... local fish store :) yes, i do have a local fish store. Also i am part of a facebook page where people sometimes give away baby fishes locally, whic is also good :).

ahh yeah, i have snails !!! thanks for letting me know. Sorry, what is LFS? :) To be honest i prefer Guppies too... my boyfriend was the one bringing the platies home... and i kinda grew attached to them now!.

my tank is a cube, 35x35x35. I would love to have guppies, but i only have one at the moment, and not in good shape :( they are so beautiful and entertaining. I had 6 in the beginning and all of them were males so no reproduction issues. In a future tank, i would love to have pea puffers. When...

thank you. yeah Guppys and Platys reproduce like crazy, and both eat their babies, so im no't sure if i will have 6 platys for much long, as 4 are babies! :fun: However, if my Guppy survives i will find him some mates, and probably i will buy a new bigger tank soon, as for what i understant its...

Hi both, @CaptainBarnicles and @Colin_T , thank you so much for your help.:thanks: I did today a 50% water change (after reading Captain Barnicle's comment) and he seemed a bit better right after but now went back to being quiet. I will try to be more detailed as possible. What is the...

This is him this morning , during feeding time, he doesn’t even go to eat anymore 😞. He was just resting in the log.

Hello everyone, My favorite guppy - Saturn went from being very energetic and swimming up and down to being very quiet at the bottom of the tank and it seems he is hiding.. I noticed 2 days ago his fins were nibbled and his appetite was not as good. Today he is quiet and swimming in the bottom...

thanks Colin, this is very helpful, again, I feel that asking for info to the fish keeper in the shop is not helpful at all :(. Do you think they can come from snails? or its exclusively from this Asian ponds from daphnia? thank you so much... so far both platies are alive, and I am very...

thank you, i will certainly do that. i see that with smaller thanks water needs changing more often. :) thank you so much.
