I agree with the neons and the bettas. I myself used to think bettas were boring, until I tried breeding them. It's the coolest thing! But, my vote would actually go towards fancy guppies. I'm working on a breed to try to make the females not look so drab and grey. It's starting to work. I...

Hello all. I need help. I started off, as many, with a few ram's horn snails and trumpet snails that were hitch hikers along with the fish, and my pleco was taking a toll on the numbers. But, he out grew my 30 gallon and I gave him to a good home. Well, needless to say, I'm over grown with...

Well, better be glad, or hope you do only have one. They breed outta control. They are livebearers and can have up to 50 or more at a time. But, as for the size department. It depends on the size of your tank, but, most of the time they tend to get around 2 inches. That's in a large tank...

Just wondering if anyone may know what in the world is going on with my tank. Well, don't get me wrong, my tank is in exellent condition, I cured my platy of cotton-mouth in a hospital tank, he's all well now :D And, everyone is happy and healthy. Also, my levels(ph, ammonia, etc.) are all...

I know this is a beaten horse. But, he could have had an endler's livebearer and maybe thought since it had different colors on it's side and a smaller tail then a "regular guppy" he thought it was mixed with some kinda cardnal or neon tetra and it had unusual colors. I don't know, just my two...

Salt won't hurt your pleco. I would add it slow, like two teaspoon per day. I have a ten gallon tank with male and female Sailfin Dalmation Mollies, 2 females and one male 3/4 black tailed guppies, 2 cories, and a pleco(oh and my recent additions-ten 3/4 black tailed guppies and about 35...

Fry, from my personal experience are very hardy. I've had the worst outbreaks of different diseases in my tanks and it always seems that they live the alot better then the adults. I think that it maybe since they are babies, they have immune systems that can handle things really well. For...

Just if anyone is keeping track, i've been having troubles with my bettas breeding. Well, did get one pair to mate, but the babies all died or daddy ate them, still don't know. Well, my dark red ct male finally got his stuff together and mated with my darker red ct female. Let's just say, I...

So sorry for your loss. People look at me kinda strange when I get upset when one of my fish die. I don't care. You do get attached and it does hurt. I'm sorry your hurting from this unfortunate incident. Wouldn't go and not enjoy the company of a good betta though. Just wash everything...

If the female is of breeding age, look behind her ventral fins and there should be a little white dot. But lots of times you can just tell from the fin sizes. Unless they are plakats, then look for the little white dot. Well, little vague, but hoped it helped alittle bit. Lakota

Very beautiful. Did ya find it at a regular store or a breeder. If at a store, definately lucky draw. Love the fish Lakota

No offense to anyone, but i just don't like the plakats. Just too feminine for me I guess :D I do like the crowntails alot, but can't find them around here, so I just got seven veiltails. Pretty though. Just my two cents :alien: Lakota

Good going on the catching the act. I've seen them only a few times, but it is a beautiful sight. Good luck with your little ones, and keep us posted. lakota

Hi again Got a question. What is the best food to condition your bettas with. I have freeze dried bloodworms and those little floating pellets. The pet stores around here are kinda limited in what they have. either brine shrimp(that die the next day) or black worms, which i heard can harm my...

How old do mollies have to be in order to get pregnant? Thanks Lakota
