I'll try a salt bath, see if it helps her. My tropicals get Omega 1 tropical flakes once a day, the pleco's get Omega 1 algae wafers every other day, and then on Sundays I give frozen algae/seaweed and frozen bloodworms/brineshrimp I cut the directions on the bottle in half, since I use the...

Well, I don't know what's going on. My parameters are fine, everyone was acting okay, and I came home to a green lantern, a white platy and my 2.5 pleco dead. At this point, I have 1 Madagascar Rainbow 1 Bosemani Rainbow 3 fancy guppy girls(incl the odd one) 2 fancy guppy males 1 swordtail...

My confusion is because she doesn't seem to be pineconing at all. Just getting fat and awkwardly shaped. I'll move her to quarantine but I'm still trying to figure out how this happened. Everyone else seems happy and fine, and she's not showing symptoms of anything else. What should I be...

So, I have a 60 gal freshwater tank with guppys, platy's, swordtails and two Rainbows. About a month ago, one of my guppy girls started getting fat, assumed she was pregnant because we do have males in the tank as well. Recently though, she's started getting... blocky? We figured she was close...

I don't think mine is very comfortable yet. She's swimming a lot and still hides most of the day rather than settles in a place to eat.

ANNNNND I come home to 6 new babies. I swear... I looked at my tank and noticed the water was a little cloudy so I took a closer look and BOOM there are babies hiding in the plants. I added an extra little dose of fry food cause I think the mama is the platy that's been looking plump lately and...

Well, i went to the store and i got some veggie pellets/granules so maybe that'll help even out their diet and help my molly out.

Thank you. Even if the algae eater does get to be 6 inches, I have enough room for him.   Onto other things, the frozen foods aren't often. It's every few days and I usually do algae, shrimp, algae, blood worms--alternating like that when it's time. The bloodworms I wind up having to crush  and...

So, i wound up getting this cute little algae eater. I believe it's a siamese, or something very similar in pattern at least. I was told it would only grow to be about 2-3 inches which works well with my tank. And I know they don't feed off of tank algae alone, so I got some high brand, organic...

Sorry... I guess I didn't explain it well enough. I didn't PLAN on getting a fish I couldn't keep, but he said that he was there as an option IF one got too big. I love my fish and want to keep them for as long as possible, hopefully their whole, full lives.   And i know they won't clean the...
