I have already established that I messed up my cycle, because I didn't know what it was. I have too many fish to be cycling right now-I am attached to my fish. My fish are showing no signs of stress, the only one stressing is me. I do 2 50% water changes back to back, and still have a reading of...

So my Molly ended up having her babies, even though she wasn't "squared off" and all of them are very healthy..and quite large if you ask me. With me doing 50% water changes daily, how am I going to manage keeping them in the breeder box, because if I move it, they get out, and get eaten. And I...

I was thinking that she is at day 26, but that's a guess. When I got her from the LFS she was pregnant. I have the lights on 8 hours a day. When I turned them off she calmed down a bit, but this is new to me because she has never acted this way before with the lights. Okay well she had her...

My pregnany Molly is frantically swimming around my tank up and down the glass. The other fish are not acting different at all. I just did my water change, but she was acting that way before I did the water change. I know Tetra are more sensitive when comes to water conditions, and they are not...

Thank you all for your input. I love the look of sand. So after I get my tank cycled and thing calm down, I'm gonna try it, and see how it goes. I'm thinking doing a "dirt" layer then doing a play sand layer on top of that. I'm excited!!

So today I noticed my pregnant Molly swimming up and down the glass, non-stop. Is she farther along than I thought? Why would she be doing that?

Ugh, do I want sand? Idk...

I would definitely start with GVille's signature links. HIGHLY recommended, and VERY informative. I was writhing in agony about what to do with my tank because I did a cycle with fish, and you REALLY have to stay on top of it too keep them comfortable and honestly if I could change it, I would...

I have heard and read mixed reviews about using sand instead of gravel. Not only for esthetic reasons, but because plants thrive better in sand!? So my question is should I try sand? And what kind? I don't have any fish that dwell under sand that can clean it, and I like that its a more natural...

Thank you, I'm trying to make my mistake right, I don't want my fish suffering from my lack of know-how.

My ammonia is just over "being high" it's not high enough to cause alarm. Everything else is zero, except for my PH which is 7. I have been doing 35-50% water changes. So far my fish are thriving and I have been adding the Biozyme to speed things up. So far I guess I am doing everything right...

So here's my story, and let me start off by saying, I know I was wrong...now. As a child my mother bred Mollies and Guppies, so I guess that makes me a genius when it comes to tanking? Wrong. I have royally screwed myself, and like I always do-I have become attached and petrified of loosing ANY...

yea, Billsfan I read that article before I did this post, that's how I was guessing she was t day 24? But I know that some can go 4 weeks depending. Today I noticed she is starting to square off a bit more near her tailfin. I will post a new pic in a few days.

I recently added a new Molly to my tank, I believe she is around the 24 mark? What do you guys think? She has dropped quite a bit in the gill area, but still has a nice angle to her tail fin. I can see her gravida spot, and she already has a white spot near her tail fin. I would say she still...
