    I've kept fish since the 80's, though I've never seen this. In the tank I have 2 zebra danios, along with some ghost/grass shrimp and golden snails. What eggs are these? Should they be above water? Gosh, I don't know what to do here.

    Water Changes/Green Algae Bloom

    It looks like every other green algae bloom, so just imagine that, lol. I have a huge bunch of wisteria and I've tried cutting back the light. Even left it off for a couple days. So, you think 75% a day is okay? Won't be too stressful for the fish? Wow, that's quite a bit I would've thought...

    Water Changes/Green Algae Bloom

    I'm sure this has probably been asked before, but alas no luck with just browsing or searching. So, I'll just ask specifically. I have a 5 1/2gal that's been running beautifuly for about 6 months. It has a baby pleco, 2 female guppies and 20 or so grass shrimp. All the sudden, with no changes...

    "Virgin" female guppy not getting pregnant

    I also feed my fish 3-5 times a day with small portions. I have to small plecos and about 15 ghost/grass shrimp to help keep the tank clean. Though, I only do 40% water changes every Sunday. Which reminds me, I've got to go do that to all my tanks right now, lol. All the fish I have now are...

    "Virgin" female guppy not getting pregnant

    She does have a fat belly. Though, I've had her for six months and I've seen her have fry 3 times. Her belly is wicked small compared to the times I've seen her pregnant before. I thought guppies reached sexual maturity at 3 months. Since he's 4 months I was hoping he was good to go. Ahhhhh...

    "Virgin" female guppy not getting pregnant

    I have a beautiful half black female with a blue tint that had fry 3 times. I kept her separate from males the whole time. Since then I've paired her with a gorgeous blue male. They're in a very clean/healthy tank. He dances around her all the time. Though, a month into the pairing her belly...

    Orange/Brown/Copper Algae

    The tank only has that piece of coral along with some java moss & wisteria. The plants are thriving. I'm not worried about light being blocked to the coral since it's not live. I guess I'll just leave it be for now to see what happens. Thanks Deanasue!

Then I put in two of my pregnant guppy females and 5 ghost/grass shrimp. Amazingly one of the shrimp laid her eggs and there's at least 2...
