Guppies will give birth every 28 days. I have had them go as early as 25 days, as late as 32 days. Guppies do need, filter, a heater, and a air stone of some sort. I use sponge filters on all my tanks. They are cheaper and better for fry tanks in my opinion. The bigger the better for size of...

I just pulled my undergravel filter out of my 45g. I had a HOB on it too.  I have had that tank set up for years. I was never happy with it. I am replacing all my filters with sponge filters. I find that are cheaper to buy and better on your hydro bill too. I agree with everyone,. a 50w heater...

They can get protective of their space. I supply my daughter with all her platy's. She went out without my knowledge and bought a pineapple sunset platy and put it in her tank. But morning it was dead. The other 2 killed it right away. They almost form a gang and won't let outsiders in. I can't...

My rule of thumb is they should get 10g of water per angel. I have 5 in my 55g tank. I am pushing it with that. They are 9 months old now and are not pairing yet. Waiting for the day. I find a couple are getting pushy, but nothing really dramatic yet. For 12 angels you would need about a...

She is nice and unique, over here I'd say she is a variation of a bumblebee, or a variation of a yellow tuxedo. There are so many combinations of colours, it is hard to pinpoint just one type.

Your Platy's are beautiful. I have always wanted panda's and Green's. I can't find them around here. I have Blue MM, Some nice babies right now, red tuxedos, lost my last bumblebee with her last drop. and rainbows. And your last picture here is the absolutely cutest pic ever.

You have livebearers. My favourites. The pleco is nice too. Looks like you have a few big girls in there. Can't wait to see pictures of the fry. Nice tank.

Love that cake. Someone is talented. Ohhhh to be 21 again....LOL

You have a pleco in your tank. So do I. They are poop machines. I gravel vacuum once a week, taking out 25% at a time. Yes I lose a couple of inches of water a week (evaporation) in my 55g tank. It takes me 20 minutes to gravel vac 3 tanks, and replace the water. It is very easy to keep your...

Sorry to hear that.

Great choice, I have cardinals. I had 10 but found they didn't stay together very much in my tank. I went back and got another 10 and everyone is happy and stay together. They are beautiful little fish.

Livebearers are ALWAYS pregnant. When you have m/f in same tank. You may not find any babies at all. They are so small. If you don't have enough hiding places for the babies to hide in they may get munched up as fast as they are born. Which has happened to me, since mom decided to have them on...

I do a 25% weekly water change on all my tanks. That includes weekly vacuums too. I have pleco's in 2 of my tanks so vacuums are a given.

All female livebearers are " hard wired " to be pregnant 99.99 % of the time. She is pregnant again. Even with no more males in the tank they can store sperm and then have babies for up to 6 months. (about 6 more times) HTH

The fish I keep with my angels are Cardinal Tetra's, Rosy Barbs, Panda Cory's, and my big Siamese Algea Eater who thinks he is a tetra sometimes, and a BN Pleco. All is quiet in my community tank. My tank is a 55g. So Just keep in mind that your angel will get very big for that size of tank. So...
