Well the white hole went away and she's been eating, but I can see the frys eyes more clearly, so I'm definatly going to stay up all night (again) and watch her. I feel bad for just putting her in the breeding net and shutting the light off, I don't want to stress her to the point of...

Hi there! Congrats on the new oto, they're a really nice fish~ =) I have one and he's in my ten gallon tank. I bought him when I started to cycle it, but I have 3 other fish besides him. I eventually got two others. I usually just let my oto eat what's in the gravel- he/she seems quite content...

So a quick update here. My platy is looking bigger, and more squared off, especially in the back. She started looking that way last night, but there were no births. Today she seems to have gotten bigger and I can see the eyes more clearly. Also, something that may mean I will have fry very soon...

thanks chesterscot~ the site is very helpful :3 I do have a 10 gallon tank that is fully cycled, yes~ I might just let her birth them out of the trap and let nature work, because I'm sure that at least one will survive, and there's always the "stored supplies" the platy has, haha. I have a...

I know this topic probably has been answered over and over again, but there's nothing like a personal confermation to get the facts straight. Alright, so about 2-3 days ago I noticed that my mickey mouse platy was indeed pregnant. I had been speculating over the size for a while, but when I...
