I'm new to writing in here just thought I would give it a try

Ok I know no body likes walmarts fish but I had to get them.... a few tanks had white spots but not in the tank I got my two female guppys from there were no died ones in the tank and they are swimming just fine I got a 12Qt./ 11.4L thingy that I can put them in how long should I keep them in it like a week or longer and also doing everyday water changes (because don't have a filter on it.

I don't want to put them in my tank because if they are sick or died I don't want my other fish to get anything from them. also since the tanks around them had white spots should I go ahead and treat them for this, both are pregnant one is I'd say a week and the other is about 2 weeks.. I have them in the bag still wanted to know what to do first... also should I take a little bit of my tank water and put it with a little bit of new water for the two new fish??

My tank has been up for more then 2 months..
Also should I watch how I move one of the fish I got she jumped out of the net the guy had her in and back into the tank ..lol that was funny

Hope this makes since lol
Please help

Thank you for answering so quick lol it usually take a little while for anyone to answer ..
The guy at wal marts that took the fish out was very nice but a little on the quick to get you away from the fish so you don't see anything lol...
THanks so much
Any more info is welcome.


You can always learn something new everyday even if you think you know it all...

They are almost 100% guaranteed to have ich (white spot) as Wal-Mart in it's infinite ignorance, has all their tanks looped through the same filtration process so all their tanks use the same water. Quarantine and treat them.

yeah I thought they did lol I made the guy show me the filter today its big and he said the new maniager is making them change the filter 2 times a week and I was standing there thinking man the poor fish are always going through a newly with what the guy put them through at the store I'd have white spots to lol They seem to be doing fine and now in their new home for the next two weeks I will start to treat them tonight.... I have to wait till my husband gets home lol he knows how much to put in there unless one of you guys know how much to put in a 12 Qt. tank

ok I know they have Ick now lol they are rubbing everything on the rocks I think they have just now got them... because I can't see anything on them yet.
the females are kinda fighing to see who is better like showing off to each other what should I do about that nothing or just let them take care of it....

Thanks for the help
