I siphoned them into a glass and most of them are alive, yes some are dead but more than 80% are alive. Is there anyway to remove the dead ones. Will they harm the alive shrimp?

I kept brine shrimp in a saltwater solution bucket. Today they're all in a shoal under the water but they're still orange. Even when I put the light on they're not coming up. Are they dead?

I have a male and 2 female gouramis, i just added the second female 2 days ago. The male keeps chasing the female even after i have 2 now. It hardly chases the new one but it always after the old gourami, is there anyway to stop it or is it gonna keep doing that till the female dies?

Groups of atleast 6 or more!

I tried earthworms. Too messy as i have to cut them up because my fish are small. I dont like doing that. I'm thinking of trying grindal and white worms. What do u do to keep them cool?

I've been looking into culturing live foods. Are they worth the trouble, have any of you tried anything and had success. Which live food are best and most nutritious?

If i were u i wouldn't bother with angels as they can be agressive. I would rather get 1 male and 2 female or just 1 male Pearl Gourami. They grow medium size (thought not huge) but they are incredibly peaceful to other fish and look superb. I have dwarf gouramis which are smaller than pearls...

Definately Hikari Microwafers. They are slow sinking and ALL my fish including the tetras, love it! It is kinda pricey though but i guess thats with most Hikari products.

I made a diy brine shrimp hatchery and ordered eggs. Do any of you feed your fish baby brine shrimp?? I know they're very nutritious but are adult fish able to see them and like them?? Fishes like gouramis, cardinals, cories etc.

They're not supposed to be but my black moor goldfish lived in tropical tank with my rainbows for more than 3 years and it was HUGE and very healthy. The LFS was amazed at his size and colour when i gave him. So i guess it can be done!

How many times should veggies be fed to fish, i fed peas and zucchini once a week but im thinking my cories may need more so should i give them veggies twice a week? I also give them frozen blood worms and mysis shrimp, should that be each of them once a week or more??

its not eating and its not really moving, its just on top of the water. I was told its they're both male so i'm not sure.

Agree, just dont feed him for 2 days if he refuses for eat anything else you offer, try again.

Done! More and better pics.

I bought 2 guppies from a LCS. They were in a tank labeled "MALE GUPPIES". They always chase other around but i thought that was just normal with most livebearers since theyre both male. Today one of them has been floating at the top mostly and its belly seems HUGE. Is it pregnant?? How many...
