I decided to put a female mosquito minnow and 3 male fancy guppies together in my 55 gallon tank for a dew months to see if they could cross breed. After 4 pregnancies of regular looking little mosquito minnows, she had a batch of black and orange little babies! Pretty cool looking little guys...

Idk what the true name of them are, thats just what the lfs called them. They look very similar if not the same as the ones i see when i google their name. I have observed them in some sort of an embrace (almost looks like my bettas when they mate) but i never saw eggs or anything come out, i...

I took everyones adviced and moved fish to different tanks, i have moved 1 bgk into my 150 gallon, my elephant nose into my 90 gallon tv stand in my bedroom, i put my bettas into my 15 gallon shrimp breeder since they never eat shrimp, i dont really care if they start to though. I have a few...

I always have a large supply of ghost shrimp in the tank as well, so maybe the perch and bgk's are always too full from eating shrimp all day to try and eat my guppies and stuff?

Ive been on Disability for 6 months now due to surgeries and stuff, so i have spent quite a bit of time watching my fish because i simply have nothing else to do, they all eat from my hand which is fun to see. The tank is half dark half light for most of the day specifically for my bgk's, i know...

Its very difficult to take pictures of the fish haha, they dont like to stay put for the camera If i start to see any aggression or notice any fish missing ibwill definitely relocate fish to different tanks but at the moment ill leave it as is, gingers crossed i will continue to have good luck...

The owner of my local fish store asked me what fish i had in my aquarium (i had bought 100 ghost shrimp which made him wonder what they were for). After i listed all the fish in my 120 gallon 6ft long aquarium, he was horrified. Stating that my stock shouldnt last a night let alone the 2 years...

Ive though about this before and it is possible, depending on tank size, fish size, and extremes you are willing to tolerate. The solution to this problem is relatively simple on paper. Cut one or two holes in the bottom of the tank big enough for a 2 inch pvc pipe, connect a funnel to the pvc...

I have had a few bettas over the years, i actually have a male and female breeding pair that live together in my 6ft long 120 gallon community tank, they have lived together peacefully for almost two years, never any fighting or anger and they never swim anywhere without eachother, its pretty...

How easy or difficult is it to have a 55 gallon betta sorority with 10 bettas? I plan to heavily plant it around some cool manzanita roots i dug up a few summers ago at my big bear house.

That is why i always tell my friends to reaserch fish before they buy them :(
