Hello, I recently came across an idea for an aquarium. It would be tall but narrow, of course with the small surface area I would need to figure something out to increase the oxygen. The dimensions as of right now would be 42"x 36"x6" which puts it around 40 gallons water capacity. Ideas to...

Long Awaited update! The last official count I had was 27, and I have not had a single one die on me that I know of. They were all transferred to a 10 gallon tank just over a week ago. They just had a massive growth spurt and are 1/2 an inch long or so. The mother has another brood of babies, I...

My latest count by a hidden camera is 30-32 babies, I have 2 that have died so 28-30 there should be. She is having trouble keeping them as they are swimming away, she has accidentally killed one by ramming it into the glass attempting to catch it. All the babies that have run away and hidden I...

Update: The eggs have hatched! She let 3 babies out a couple minutes ago and saw them briefly, setup a camera beside the tank to see if I can get a good look at them :D

My current plan is to let them stay with the mother as long as possible but stripping is likely what I will have to do, I have read it is much more "humane" instead of leaving the mother to hold all those babies and not eat for so long. The mother does not seem weak yet and still moves around...

Update, she was separated without any trouble and is much more calm and free swimming being in her own environment. she is getting pretty full, her mouth is almost opening enough for me to see inside. The other fish are not too happy with her being separated (apart from the BN plecos, they keep...

My first tank was a little 10 gallon with a gourami and some sort of tetra, I believe there was also a common pleco (oh lordy). Lets just say they all did not live happy or long lives, but to be fair to me I was like 6. Honestly I am very disappointed in all the fish keeping I did up until like...

It will be very easy to separate her, I just have to put the divider in since she spends most of her time in one area now, I have a sponge filter on the way as well.

When should I assume the eggs have been fertilized, I have not seen any mating activity this week (granted I am gone for quite a few hours a day, I read after around a week she would spit them out if they weren't fertilized, it has now been one week, how long should I wait before separating...

Awesome this is the situation I was hoping for. I will monitor her closely to see if I can see anything, guess I will have to get the baby supplies out :D

I don't think it has a mouthful of eggs honestly, I am almost certain it is a male, but if it did its hard to tell. I have attempted to feed it frozen zucchini, (what I feed them as a treat once a week or so) and it wanted to take it but wouldn't. Photo down below, also took this video: I...

So this the third day of noticing my orange blotched peacock not eating. It will swim up to any food I feed them (pellets or fresh veggies) and look like it wants to eat them but doesn't open their mouth at all just kind of bumps it. The fish is showing no stress or abnormal behaviour and is not...

Usually if you use a simple program like paint you can resize camera photos down to 1920x1080 which is still a good size, just look for a resize feature :D

So I had that fish on one side of the tank separated with a divider, how long should I wait to open that side back up to everyone else? I just cleaned the sand and removed all the décor to be cleaned.
