I've seen sailfins around that size too. These are 3 short fins, the biggest is 4cm, I just measured her. I agree they are intrinsically linked but I disagree that 3 mollies in a 12 gallon is in humane. That really is open to opinion as you will find many people saying 10 gallons is sufficient...

Ohhh this is what really upsets me about animal forums. This is why many people are put off using animal forums and thus refrain from seeking valuble advice from them. I appreciate the opinions. I really do. But I asked how to care for my molly fry not anything else. I have healthy, happy...

Thanks for that info, Ill up the feeding. Had been doing daily 20% on the tank itself and turkey basting waste out of trap. I don't have any intention of keeping them into adulthood, 8 adult Mollys in a 50 litre would most definitely be overstocking, but id like to raise them to re homing size...

So I have my first batch of molly fry,   they were born while I was away, most probably on sunday (2 days ago) and I came back to find them.   Managed to find 5  and transferred into a floating fry trap. No idea how many were born, although the molly mummy I suspect is quite a young one who's...

I had a cory cut his tail ray a tiny bit, it developed a very mild fungal infection on it. It was so small I didn't medicate, kept an eye on if and be got over it himself :-)

I had this, I ended up re homing my male sailfin as I was so sick of him hassling one particular female for sex and being aggressive with the other two females. Weird. Well he left his mark and his favourite female gave birth this week. I now (fry aside) have just females and I'm glad of it. I'm...

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for all your info.

Noted. Ill maybe go with two female honeys then, or two males. I will try the female betta but of course won't risk even overnight if it looks hostile. Will update this thread when I do. (Wont be for around a fortnight yet though.)

Thanks shelster for that. I do have a back up plan in that a female betta could be put in my cory tank if all goes bad. I may just give it a try and keep a close watch seeing as i do have that back up. With regards to the pair of honeys (which it may turn out, as you mentioned to be the sole...

I agree with techen above. I have 6 aeneus (2 are albino) and all mine do this from time to time. I'm pretty sure it's when a grain of sand gets somewhere it shouldn't. Kinda like a dog scratching or shaking. Just a reaction to a small irritation, nothing to worry about in my opinion unless they...

What are people's thoughts on 2 red honey gourami with one female betta in a just under 10 gallon (US gallon) very well planted tank?? It's a new tank that's nearing end of fishless cycle. Reckon ill be stocking in around a week. I've done so much research and as always the research can...

Noted. Thanks. As I say this seller seems to have excellent feedback and only ships overnight. I will however ask about individual bagging because I'd be concerned at potentially aggressive species being shipped in same bag together. Thanks.

I boil small pieces of wood. My boyfriend came home to me doing it once and thought I'd gone insane ;-)
