1) Can they be kept singly, or do they need to be kept in at least pairs? They will be fine singly. In fact, if you bought more than two angels and later they get older (8-12 months) then they will be mature and want to pair off, if the other angels that are not part of the pair, then they...

If you freeze the brine shrimp then it will still be good for up to 3 months but it will not be alive. To keep the brine shrimp alive for a couple of days you can add some brine shrimp water solution (water plus the correct amount of salt) into a small cup, pour your brine shrimp in the cup...

I think a lot of people consider most cichlids to be aggressive. It isn't that they are actually aggressive but are protective and need tons of space to have plenty of territory. Angelfish shouldn't be mixed with smaller fish that are equal to or smaller than their mouth because the angelfish...

I spent weeks looking up how much to Meth Blue to use. I think it really varies on what works for you. Some people don't use alot while others have said to use it till it turns dark blue. The batch of angelfish fry i'm raising right now had dark meth blue and only 4-5 died from fungus or...

The best way is to check when they are ready to spawn but there are slightly other ways that may help. Check this out.

How old are your angelfish? One of them may be ready to breed and the other isn't. I would say if they are around 9 months to a year old, then they have reached sexual maturity. Otherwise, I had this problem when one of my angelfish was about a quarter size and my other was a 50 cent size...

You need to start out with a small tank/container for at least their first meal so they can find food faster. Also, tank needs to be bare bottomed, intake tube of a hang over filter needs to have a sponge over it to prevent the fry from getting sucked up. Also, Raising brine shrimp is not hard...

Well i have never had molly's but i do have guppies and guppy fry in a 5 gallon. I would think that it would be the same with mollys as guppies so i'll give you tips about what i do. I also have a well planted tank but my guppies are slowly starting to get use to my fry because they don't chase...

Oh gosh, I just realized why your tank is cloudy. Its the bacteria bloom from your jungle products killing off all the good bacteria. You should definately check out your water params and start doing water changes to help your fish get through the ammonia and nitrite spikes. Also, cleaning the...

Wow now that sounds pretty serious. If all your fish die i would recommend just cleaning that whole tank out completely and starting your cycle all over again. Might want to even throw away some stuff like the filter media to make sure that that disease is gone for sure. Otherwise, if your...

Okay, it sounds like your tank is cycled so it was definately the fish that came from the store. Why don't you look into a product called MelaFix, its a natural healing tea that helps fish without hurting your cycle. Oh one more thing, i did not realize you were using jungle products, they kill...

I have guppies and guppy fry. I have treated my tanks with meds with the guppy fry in there and i didn't see a problem. I have treated with Quick Cure (for ich), Salt, Melafix, and Coppersafe. Just recently my guppies caught gill flukes and so i used Quick Cure and i saved 2 of my pregnant...

If your going to place your mother guppy in the 10 gallon for birth, then i would suggest a filter. Your going to have to buy a filter anyway after about a month or 2 of the fry's life. There are some cheap filters out there on the internet. I like AquaClears, have at least a 1 year warrenty on...

Okay, Calm down. First, i would seperate the adults from the fry. You don't want to squish your fry so i would use a turkey bastor and just suck it up and squirt it out into a different container. Next, that will let you get closer to notice if there is any permanent damage to your fry. For...

Sounds Exciting. The first time my guppies had fry i couldn't wait after waiting for 2 months. I was so worried back then that i seperated them and raised the fry to 2 months old now. Now the fry had kids of their own and they don't even look at them twice as food, fry just swim around all over...
