I would try to get another tank or you will possibly have to split your tank to allow the babies to have space to grow and not get eaten. The other option is to do a survival of the fittest and say that the ones that survive carry on and live and the ones the get eaten are gone this time...

Hi Guys, I wanted to ask how to breed Dwarf Gouramis. I have 2 females and 1 male. They females have never been with a male until I got them today and put them together. I need to know how to breed and how to prevent them breeding, depending on what i choose, as i have lots of livebearers at the...

Hey Guys, My nan has a 65L tank with 3 cories, 2 pakistan loaches, 3 neon tetras, 2 black tetras, 3 mollies (juvinile ones) and supposedly 4 guppies. However, we have noticed that one by one, the guppies are disappearing. They swam to the top of the tank and then within half a day, dead. We...

My female molly who is not pregnant is bloating up very quickly. she looks like a ballon crossed with a pine cone as her scales are sticking out. Is it dropsy? if so what can i do about it? if it isn't, what is it? She isn't off of her food and no other fish are affected by it that we can see...

its a hard thing about fish that some illnesses have no cure. this is one of them. my guppy got it and he died a few hours later. im so sorry. :(

The guppies could be doing it or the mollies. the males sometimes are known not to get on and mollies find the male guppies as a threat to them so attack them. This generlly only happenes sometimes between male mollies and male guppies. As for the guppy with the shreadded tail. Keep an eye on it...

they generally breed by themselves. how many males and females do you have? The ratio i tend to keep is 1 male:3 females Otherwise just give them time. One of my females that i have had now for 6 months that has been in with my male continually still isn't pregnant. she seems to not want to...

Dwarf gouramis are a good addition. they grow to about 5cm, i think (mine have and aren't growing anymore) Loaches are good as well. I have pakistan loaches(yo-yo loaches) whih are very good in the tank. they eat snails and normal food. They grow to about 12cm. You could go towards angefish...

Hey, Which loaches eat snails. i know the clown loaches eat them but i think are too big for my 70L tank. I also would like to know, whether once the snails are gone, can they eat normal food? is there special food for them? I wanted to know some basoc information on Khuli Loaches. I am...

I have got 6 one month and one week old fry and i wanted to know when their colours will develop as they have not really got any colours. some have a few black scales but no proper colour yet. when can you tell the gender of them? they all look like females at the moment. I have some one week...

maybe take a couple of plants out. they are actually not very active fish. mine mostly stay at the bottom - middle of the tank. the only reason i got mine is because of their colours. thats what we love most about them. You could take both out or decide which ones you like best and keep them...

they are showing donminance. my mollies are the same. i have a breeding pair and then one that he will breed with as well but the other is beaten up. we re finding a new home for her and possibly him soon. I would reccomend that if you are going to have any small newbies, that you get rid of him...

it could be like a oily bubble becaue my tank ha them on it for ages and my filter had the bubbles all over it. Change 20% of the water and try to remove the bubbles. its what i did and it seemed to get rid of most of them. i did this a couple of times over a period of about a month and they...

i just have one plant in my tank. it depends where it is going to be and how big it already is. i would put a group of maybe 3 to start with and then you can split them or get more. thats the way i tend to do it when planting up my aquariums.

mollies are good with them as long as they aren't sailfin, dwarf gouramis, tetras, corys, platys, female guppies(not males due to the tail being too tempting to nip at), snails, aquatic frogs, danios and shrimp. these are the main ones i can think of at the moment but be careful as if it is...
