    Possible Guppy hybrids?

    Hello all! I would like to figure some things out involving these weird Guppy hybrids I caught in a pond. My first question is there any chance, even the slightest chance of a platy or mosquitofish hybridizing with a guppy? if so, do you have any pictures? The pond I got these hybrids from only...

    Does my fish have dropsys?

    My female platy just had babies last week. She had a really big belly and 2 of my guppies were chasing her like crazy. We figured that they just wanted her eggs. Fast forward a week after the babies and now they’re still chasing her... and becoming more and more aggressive. I tried adding...

    What type of fish is this?

    Hello, New to this and have a Cold water tank with goldfish and two other (platies) I think. Also have a tropical tank with guppies and puffers. Please could someone advise me what type of fish this is and if she's pregnant as she's huge compared to her tank mate. Thanks in advance. Chloe

    Help! 2 sunset platys, one might be preg?

    I recently got 2 sunset platys and I originally thought they were both boys. Especially since the bigger one chased the littler one around a lot (it doesnt do that anymore though, for some reason. Maybe they worked it out?). But after some research apparently, the girls have rounder, fan-shaped...

    Platy Hiding

    A while back I was gone for 2 weeks on vacation. My 10gal tank had 2 male platies and 4 golden tetras. We came back, and one platy was completely missing, so we assumed it either died and was eaten somehow, or a cat got to it. Now though, the remaining platy hides constantly and only comes out...

    Platy Swimming Straight Down After Levamisole

    My new (as of 3 weeks ago) guppy started getting emaciated and swimming funny. Too late, I figured out it was the camallanus worm (unmistakable- he had the red spider-like worms peeking out of his anal vent). I did a lot of thorough online research and ordered Levamisole from Subquaria to treat...

    Bisexual platy?

    I have a red wag platy that will not leave my big calico (cant remember exact name) platy male alone. He tries to use his gonopodium on him all day long. I had another Micky male in the tank I had to move because red would dart at him, so I don't believe it's territorial. He likes the female...

I had a 58 litre tank with a couple of Sterbai Cory and a few guppies which exploded on the guppy population.
