Hi I just wanted to share a fun project I’ve been working on for the last few months. I have a 90 gallon outdoor pond with heater, bubblers... and no mechanical filter. I started it in July 2019 and all my fish are happy and thriving. The water is clear and fresh. I have various colored...

Hi everyone! My black balloon molly is sitting on the bottom of the tank without moving. He eats normally, swims normally. Whenever I go check and he sees me he swims to the surface for food, and he is still swimming to me when he sees me. But when I am far away from the tank I see him sitting...

Three days ago, I added a platy to my tank of one Molly fish. I've had the Molly fish for four months, but I've never seen him swim in circles. Two days ago, he started swimming in circles every few minutes (twirling). I had hopes that he was just playing around, but since he's been doing it for...

My male molly organ fin was normal before but recently I found out his organ fin tip is swollen and that fin can’t close and it seems like he is unable to bend it when he is chasing the female.

it looks like her (I think) bottom lip is separated from her mouth!?!! What is this? Does this happen to fish frequently? Is this contagious? Pls help :(. (She’s one of the babies I still have in breeder box until she gets big enough) I wasn’t able to upload the video OR a pic! It keeps...

Hi everyone, I am pretty new to owning fish. I've had these fish for a little over three months now and this is the first time I'm noticing any problems. I have 2 black panda mollies, an albino bristlenose pleco, and a snail (I think it's a zebra nerite snail). A couple of days ago, I realized...

Hi there About a week and a half ago (maybe 2 weeks) I purchased a Molly from the pet store. This is my first Molly and it is kept with my guppies and neon tetras. I have noticed that her stomach has gotten very bloated looking. After doing some research I found out that it could be that she's...

This molly was bought two or three weeks ago and I chose her because she was a girl. Then after a week or so I looked again and thought I must have been mistaken. I have since read that it is possible for the fish to be a 'late bloomer' or even to change gender. But now she/he looks pregnant or...

Okay so i am new here, created an account so i could get some insight on something my fish has been doing for a couple days now. I have 2 Mollies, and 4 Neon Tetras in a 29 gallon tank, its been cycled for 6 months and i have had no major issues with it. I started out with the Tetras since they...

I am looking at getting 2 female dalmatian mollies for a community tank, as I know males can fight each other, but I also dont want any fry! So I was wondering if two female mollies would fight each other?
