Ok, ammonia, and nitr- are 0, and i dont really know what the pH is but i dont think theres anything wrong with that cuz i had my water checked at the lfs two days back and they said everything was normal and it was a guy I personally know who checked it, so i know i can rely on the results my...

Well, as of this moment, I have lost Eridanus. He twitched some more, and while I was doing homework, he passed. I looked up to check on him and his gill weren't moving. I will miss him deeply...ok, thanx anyway guys.. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :sad: :(

ok he didnt really LAY on the bottom, but he chilled there a lot unless i fed him, and then he was super active, and he was super active at night too (when im usually asleep) and now hes pushing hiself under stuff and getting stuck and i keep having to move it and i usually feed him flakes and...

wow pretty yellowish mickey mouse platy hmmm i have a red one like that and he is awesome, he looks just like the rocks on the bottom of my tank hhhhmmmm red, white and black peppered, yellow tuxedo, or orangish they'd all look cool, i think but personally, i think mixing it with a blue...

first of all, he was ALWAYS on the bottom second, no because just today he started to swim stupid, by which i mean he can't stay up and swims and turns and all that other junk the fins kind of look eroded, but not to the extreme they are not any particular color, cept clearish-white, like...

My small iridescent shark has been acting funny, and now he acts like he has a swim bladder problem. Also, when I bought him, he was dark, and now he's about albino in color (he's been this way for a month). The edges of his fins are frayed, too. I tried smushed green beans, (got no peas)...

The verdict is in people; I know what they are. They are not pure swordtails, but have been bred with a type of platy in the past- specifically, the yellow tuxedo platy. (Go look up a pic if you want, they're really tight.) Anyway, they look exactly like that, only they're swordtails. Will...

okay, at first i thought it was leftover food or waste floating in the tank, but i just noticed today that there are tiny tiny white worms in the tank and they squirm and everything recently i just started feeding my fish shrimp bites ok are they just like nematodes or what and will they...

Named 'em. Styx, Lethe, Phlegethon, Cocytus, Acheron, Eridanos, and Oceanus. My sis still has to name the last one :) . They're named after the five Greek rivers of Hell, and two river gods. Dunno what she'll name the other one!

I have one breeding pair each of platies and swordtails, and both females are pregnant, but for some odd reason, the males are getting chased around the tank! Is it normal for the females to be aggressive? Also, I know I need more females, I'm working on that.

they're not pineapple cuz pineapples look gold compared to these guys you can almost see through them all the way where they are yellow

Most likely a Calico Platy. Bear in mind that the amount of speckling does vary. I did look at that pic, but that platy is almost clear, and mine is pearly white with black spots...dunno...

Ok I just found out that platies and swordtails interbreed...I have a breeding pair of each in my tank, are they going to interbreed? I think both females are already pregnant by their own species, but...?

Up until recently, I've only ever seen black or red swordfish in town, and the two I have are yellow with a lot of black from mid back. Is there a name for the kind they are?
