Help! I just set up a tank less than a week ago with 5 female mollies. Iām new to this but itās important to me that my fish are happy and healthy. One of my mollies seems off. She doesnāt swim around and stays in the top corner near the heater. My other 4 mollies seem fine and swim around. At...
I have a question, my female swordtail eats a lot. She is about 3 inches long. She is rather fat, I'm not sure if shes pregnant or just overweight.
I rescued her from a friend, she was living in a very small tank with a single plastic plant and two other very unhappy fish.
A guppy and a platy...
How many kuhli loaches should I get? I only have one currently, I was thinking 5 more?
I'm pretty sure mine is a male, I dont want any babies. Should I get more males or will that cause fights?
Can I get females and have no babies?
Hello! How can I house 6 rosy barbs without them breeding? I already have 1 male and 2 young females and I'm getting 3 more soon. The male has been chasing the females around quite a bit and I don't know if he's trying to breed or make friends. I definitely don't want them breeding. Apparently...
I have had this female guppy for about 2 weeks and she's been pregnant since day 1. I just separated her into a birthing container but am unsure if she's actually about to give birth soon. Her belly seems to have that "shape" I've read about and her gravid spot has gotten very big over the last...
We not long ago got 2 opaline gourami. One female (pearl) and one male (opal). Male seems to chase the female around a lot. It is more around feeding time. I donāt know if he does it at night, or if itās just when he thinks there is food. Is there any advice or signs to look for? the stuff...
Hello again! Does this look normal on my female Endler guppy? Thereās like a protrusion there on her belly closer to her head than her anal vent. I havenāt noticed any behavioral changes in her tho and nothing drastic has changed over the last few days so Iām not sure what could have caused it...
Hey so, recently my opal male betta and koi female mated and I have been raising their fry for 3 weeks now. I plan on selling/giving away the male offspring and actually wondered if male betta brothers who have always lived in the same space together will get along as adults too. I am assuming...
I know how to tell the difference between a male and female platy. But this platy confuses me.
It swims around like its a male, but that anal fin sometimes moves and spreads open like a female.
It's hard to see, but there is a bit of a web between the body and the anal fin. The web isn't as...
I have an established planted tank with all male Endlers, I bought some more fish today from the same place as before and was reassured they are all males as they donāt keep females. I was a bit confused because the first time I bought the fish the guy spent ages fishing out only males but now...
Hi, Iām wondering if my female guppy is pregnant, she looks pregnant to me, but I could do with other peopleās opinions. Iām just a bit skeptical because the previous female guppy I bought ended up dying 3 days after I got her. I was told she was pregnant from the store I got her but Iām pretty...
Fish with light yellow tail- is this slightly albino?
This fish has been growing larger by the day lately and is showing a similar shape to my pregnant guppy. I canāt see a gravid spot, this is why Iām wondering if it is albino as I have searched on the internet about this.
Any help would be...
Am I underfeeding my female BN Pleco? I give her 1/2 of a sera spirulina tablet every other day. I put the tab in front of her and she quickly gobbles it up. I target feed her and make sure the cardinal tetra in the tank with her don't steal it. She always finishes it in under a minute, does...
Hi All,

Last week I bought 3 female swordtails to go with my current male swordtail. Unfortunately 2 died and this is the last one however I am super confused.
It has a gonopodium, suggesting it is a male however it doesnāt have a long sword. Itās rather large...
My female delta is gravid. I have seen her breeding bars and her ovipositor is more prominent. I have been fasting her five days a week for two weeks and she has yet to drop or absorb her eggs. Her tank is well established and when I checked the water parameters ammonia and nitrites were 0 and...

I definitely have 1 male and I'm pretty sure 2 females. There's one more but I can't tell if it's male or female. I'm trying to decide the best option to avoid having to deal with tonnes of fry...

Hello everyone, I'm relatively new to fish keeping and have had a burning question for a while now. In the picture I've been wondering what type of honey gourami it is because it's a nice brown colour and looks like a female so would be nice to keep with a male so if anybody knows I would...
