    Help me stock my tank!

    Hey! Iā€™ve got a heavily planted 15 gallon tank which currently has 4 guppies, 3 amano shrimp and two snails. What else should I put in there? Iā€™ve been looking at small schooling fish like chilli rasboras and maybe a female Betta? Any ideas?

    Why donā€™t my endlers breed?

    Hello. I have a small, heavily planted 6 gallon tank which I have been using to keep some endlers while deciding whether to divide them into my separate sex guppy tanks. I realise they are slightly over stocked, with two males and six females. In just over 3 months none have developed round...

    Half-beak is a tattletale

    Is it normal for my Halfbeak to ALWAYS point out anything unusual in my tank? Is this a breed trait in females? My male(Gonzo) is chill, but my female(Unicorn-daughter named her) makes a point to catch my attentionā€¦then points to the ā€œoddityā€ in the tank. Her favorite oddity is ramshorn snails...

    Protecting snails during a deworming cycle

    I have recently bought a trio of guppies, and have some noticed the predicted white stringy poop. The new fish are already showing signs of environmental stress that I have treated with phenoxyethanol and water changes. My tank was cycled, planted, mature and had no fish in before adding them...

    Pregnant guppies and breeding boxes questions

    Hi! I am new to the forum and fairly new to the hobby. I have separated one of my female guppies in a breeder box because she looks boxier than yesterday and I think she might be close to giving birth. This is the first time I separate one. I got my guppies (1 male and 5 females) two weeks ago...

    Gravid Spot? Male or Female Guppy?

    Hi All, I have recently purchased this guppy and it was sold to us as a male. As you can see from the photo, it has a large black spot on its belly. Not sure what it could be so I googled and understand female guppies have gravid spots. What do you guys think? Is this male or female? And if...

    Can I Add a Single Cherry Shrimp Alongside Amanos?

    Hello šŸ‘‹ I have amano shrimp in my guppy tank. I originally chose them over other shrimp species because they will not be able to successfully breed and I donā€™t want to be overrun with shrimp. Cherry shrimp are obviously much more striking. I have read that they prefer to be in groups but does...

    What should I put in my 10 gallon tank?

    hey guys :) I have just bought a 10 gallon tank after my betta died and I wanted to try something new. I'm looking for suggestions on how to stock it. At the minute I'm thinking about livebearers although I would only get males because I'm not wanting fry. Guppies? Platies? Mollies? Endlers...

    Iā€™m very curiousā€¦

    This is kind of a silly question, BUT DONā€™T CLICK OFF OF THIS THREAD!!!! This is importantā€¦ If you breed livebearers, specifically guppies and endlers, how do you breed them? Iā€™m talking specifically about your method, setup, preferences, etc. You would know I am very interested in this...

    Male or Female?

    Is this white guppy a female or male? The woman at the pet store said it was male but after researching Iā€™m not sure if she was right.

    Help! Guppies Staying on Bottom and Refusing to Eat

    About two weeks ago I purchased three male guppies. I put them in a 3 gallon tank with a interior power filter and preformed a 25% water change about every 2 weeks. Everything seemed to be going just fine until yesterday one of them got stuck in the filter and died. Now I am starting to notice...

    Colder water for guppies?

    I have 5 guppies and they are living in a 70l tank. I have a 200l already set up, with no fish in it. I have done lots of tests and the water is exactly the same as the 70l (uk). The guppies are currently living with 3 rosy barbs (rehoming them soon). I didn't realise rosys were so aggressive...

    White Bump on my Guppies Head

    Does anyone know what this might be/how to treat it? I noticed this white spot on my guppies head a few days ago. I quarantined her and added salt. She is still alive and swimming, however, the bump hasnā€™t changed size or shape. Any help would be appreciated.
