New video of the babies is up!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFlpoMiC4K8&feature=youtu.be

And this is a video of Momma and Poppa reunited. Don't mind the Star Trek playing in the background. You just can't mute Star Trek, lol.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZpI0w7LCJg

New video of the babies. Momma has been moved back to the main tank and everyone is doing well.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uanOxIPfQM

Has she had them yet? It shouldn't be much longer now if she hasn't...

Almost all of my wood has come off of dead trees. Just be sure that the tree wasn't an evergreen or pine. Most of my wood was too big to boil as well. I just soaked it in the tub with hot water. Kept refilling it for a couple of hours. Then I took a scrub brush to it. Because it was so dry it...

I agree about the second plant on the right not being an aquatic plant. It looks like Spathyphyllum (or Peace Lily). I had one in my tank that didn't grow at all, just melted a leaf at a time until it died. The bushy plany looks like Myriophyllum. It is beautiful. I know what the other plant is...

I have nothing useful to add, but I do have a question.   I have never owned this type of fish and therefore don't know the reason for trimming the wen. What is the purpose of doing so?

Without another tank I wouldn't know what to suggest! But that is awesome! I have never gotten any of my tetras to breed before.   Good luck!

I have cories in a couple of tanks. One with sand, one with rounded pea gravel. They seem to do fine on both. I did have cories in a tank with rougher gravel and their barbels completely eroded (I was a new fish keeper and didn't know better). As long as your gravel isn't sharp edged, they...

I had this happen with a lot of plants that had smaller leaves. I had no luck with them at all. ALL of my fish were pecking at the plants and the leaves just kept disappearing. I gave up on small leaved plants in my large community tank and now only do plants with larger leaves. Is there...

Any fry I want to save I always put in my 5g. I'm sure a 2g would be fine to grow them out. And yes she does look pregnant to me, and nicely squared too, so it shouldn't be too much longer until the fry are born. Remember to filter the water in the 2g and use a filter sock or sponge on the...

I agree with Paradise. It's probably just a build up of toxins. Start by doing a large water change. But you really should get him a larger tank. I would say 5g as a minimum. I keep mine in larger tanks (20g, male in one, female in another) with other fish and everybody is happy. And live plants...

New video of Momma and the babies is up! Then we moved them to the growout tank earlier than planned because the JD was showing just a little too much interest, lol.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY1pXhpwkiU&feature=youtu.be

I just took a new video today of the fry free swimming! I will upload it tomorrow. I may also move the fry to the growout tank sooner than planned as the JD is showing too much interest in them, lol. I would like to save at least this first batch and see if there is any interest in them locally.

i have a single female in with guppies and endlers and bn's. Other than her chasing some babies and eating one baby (that i know of, lol) everyone has been happy
