My roommate has a five gal. with four adult guppies and the lone female gave birth this afternoon. When we noticed the thirteen mini guppies swimming about, we also noticed a bunch of thin, white worms about half an inch to an inch in length floating and crawling in the tank. Any ideas on what...

Thank you for your replies. Someone mentioned to me that blackwater interferes with the gouramis' ability to breathe. Just checking to see what others knew. Thanks again.

Is there any problem with adding blackwater to a community tank with a dwarf honey gourami?

just a note about toothpaste and soap in streams.... you'd be surprised how little it takes to skew the balance of a waterway. you'd be even more surprised at how much it takes to return that waterway back to a healthy state. if you sample the water quality downstream of any popular camping...

could possibly be neon tetra disease. any other ideas?

i've seen little teenie weenie heaters in walmart but who can say how well they work. i imagine since there's no real demand for mini heaters, they'll be hard to find.

i yanked him out all right....i dropped in my otto without my betta noticing. he strolled over, eyed him a split second, and *gulp*....took a big bite. i yanked my otto outta there so fast it made my betta's head spin. as of right now, my otto's not harmed in any way...just a bit frazzled.

eek....oops! any idea on how to "test" the two?

would a male betta and an otto get along?
