Black Molly Again

[Annastasia]

How long? Well, they can be 4-6" when full grown, if that's what you are asking. If you aren't asking that...can you specify more?

oh sorry, i ment when they are born.

 

[Annastasia]

Maybe [----] that big, or slightly larger.

ah, but now i'm running into a bigger problem! when i bought my female silver molly, along with my black, she looked pregnet, but after the first few days she was in the big tank, she didn't, but all of a sudden, she seems fat again, and she is pooing really stringy white poo. i think she might be pregnet too! i think i just might go for survival of the fitest for the baby mollies!

Stringy white poo os a sign of internal bacteria and cause fish to lose weight even if they are eating fine, you will need to medicate them for it otherwise it could kill your mollys.

i thought long stringy poo ment birth, but it went away, just an hour ago, but she still seems fat.

 

[Annastasia]

White poo is internal parasites. How can you be sure it went away? Parasites rarely, if ever, go away without treatment. I would treat as soon as possible, because if this fish dies, the parasites will move onto another, and multiply. Your whole tank could die off.

 

[afireinside]

well, now i'm not even sure it's even poo. cause all i remember is watching her swim really fast than seeing white.

 

[Annastasia]

Well, you need to keep an eye on her, and make sure, because don't want an internal parasite infested tank, I can tell you that. You need to be sure if she has them or not. And what are the water params?

 

[afireinside]

all i can say eveything is normal. pH is like 7.3, but my test kit sux, all it shows you is the color that everything should be close to.

 

[Annastasia]

7.3 is no big problem. Not too bad at all. What exactly are the water params though?

read teh bold

 

[Annastasia]

Your test kit for everything? You'll probably want to get another one then, because you'll need to know exact params if you ever need another tank, or if you have a sick fish or something...for example, just a trace of ammonia can be deadly to some fish.

ya, i'm planning on going to my lfs today anyway, i like tuesdays, they get their shipment of ghost shrimp, and they are usually gone by thursday.

off topic: i am very dissipointed in my mom's freind's daughter. i let her borrow my copy of harry potter and the prizinor of azakaban, and now, i have to get a new one, she completely ruined the cover, bunches of words are smudged, and the last few chapters must of gotten wet cause they are all crimpled! i am soo mad right now, even though i did fish the newest book on sunday.

*bump* what type of fish kit should i get, any specific brand? obviously for a fresh water aquarium
