Thank you Deanasue, I have tried goldfish they died too. I'd only keep one @ a time -- horrible luck Currently I have 3 brand new snails that haven't moved in 2 days I'm sure they're sick or dying & now about 10 cory fry. Would u mind advising me on how often to do pwc's in there very tiny...

All of your comments and suggestions have been wonderful and I thank all of you. Here's the latest update on my entire situation of fish keeping. First of all the horrible news which just once again devastated me. My beautiful "Blue" ( betta fish ) passed away. He was & has been in his own tank...

Thank you essjay I really don't think I can do the growing out cultures of my own worms or baby brine shrimp. I have a very busy life style. I AM taking the 3 adult cory catfish to a very good reputable Aquatic Store tomorrow though to let them be re-homed. They're healthy good fish I just can't...

I have 3 tanks. 2 completely cycled one w/just a betta all alone, one w/ the 3 cory catfish one female & 2 males, & the 3rd an empty, sanitized 5g Fluval. The 10g w/the cc & now the breeder net container & babies is the one that smells TERRIBLE. I feed the adults once a day alternating fish...

removed when they were to a breeder net and kept it in the same aquarium as the adults have actually hatched and now I don't know what to do! HELP. They r amazingly TINY & seem so helpless. I want to do the best thing for them so they'll reach adulthood and maybe I can give them to one of our...

OH DEAR IM OVER MY HEAD! Several of my Cory catfish eggs which I gently removed when they were to a breeder net and kept it in the same aquarium as the adults have actually hatched and now I don't know what to do! HELP. They r amazingly TINY & seem so helpless. I want to do the best thing for...

I'd love to help, but I'm also a newby esp. to cory catfish. I went to my LFS & the clerk picked 3 really nice ones for me problem was there r 2 males & one female & they keep breeding. If & when the babies hatch they either get eaten or sucked up when I gravel vac. YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT SEE...

Thank you for the "welcome". Yes the snails are the main object of my affection, but the Cory's needed a better home than the small, loaded tank they were in @ Petsmart. They seem very happy in the 5g Fluval now. I've been feeding them a varied diet of blood worms, fish flakes & pellets (high...

The filter is the one that came w/the Fluval it was a complete set = sponge filter, carbon pack & ceramic media pack. I clean it maybe every other pwc or some times w/each pwc in the aquarium water I've siphoned out when cleaning gravel. I've had the cory catfish now for about 1-2 weeks & the...

7 days ago I set up a 10 g aquarium to be used for either my 2 Mystery snails or my 3 Cory catfish. Currently I have a 5 g Fluval that all 5 were in & realized that the tank was probably "overstocked" since the Cory's were bullying my snails terribly. I really only got the catfish to clean up...

I recently bought three Cory catfish small gray with black spots don't know what they're called and put them in with two mystery snails in my 5 gallon Fluval tank. Is this going to be enough room for all of them? Oneof my snails is already acting extremely sick and I'm afraid I'm going to lose...

Hello all. I am a Registered Nurse x 42 yrs. (Soon to be retired) that is new to the hobby. I started last Fall into the hobby, went to a very reputable aquatic store and got a new complete setup aquarium. An Aqueon 10 gallon. I let it cycle did all my water test as I was supposed to and when...

I'm a horse and cat person, but babysat a Betta for a friend a few months ago & got hooked. I realize that it's a fresh water fish so may not be considered "tropical", but wanted to join as many forums as possible to get educated on the hobby. So far I'm doing terribly except for success w/one...
