I'd only mix 5 pounds of it in my 46 gallon saltwater aquarium.

I have a beautiful, thriving community tank. Mollies, danios, tetras, catfish and a betta. The mollies breed and the other fish are very active. My water is fine. I have tried several times to add a few female swordtails. ( I want to add more color) They all end up dying. I thought swordtails were supposed to be easy keepers?!

do plecos need any of those heaters and stuff. Will they eat other fishes leftovers or only algae. when do you feed them and how much do you have to feed it. are they easy to take care of and do they go well with mollies

I brought back some red mangrove propagules from my trip to Puerto Rico about 9 months ago. I had just stuck them in a jar of water and got about half of them to start growing. They're at the stage where they have roots and are starting to get leaves. I can't find any information on how to take care of them from this point on. Anyone had experience growing red mangroves?

One of my guppies just swam by and he had a bone through his nose!!! Seriously though, my plant life is seemingly on steroids and it's gotten so I can hardly see the little stone mountain in the middle anymore. In a way I'm happy because these may be the first plants I've ever had that didn't die in a week (don't have to remember to water these lol) but it's just too much. I wanna see my pretty fish again! What's the best way to go about trimming things up in there? Are there any common mistakes you can help me avoid? How much should I take out? Thanks in advance to all you lovely fish lovers!

Three days ago I noticed a triangular shaped gravid spot on my wagtail platy and moved her to another tank and gave her of my two small neon tetras to keep her company (I also think they are too small to eat her fry). She is a rather long platy, so her stomach isn't looking huge, but the gravid spot is very significant. The temperature in the tank is about 79. What kind of time frame can I expect for her to be giving birth, and also should I be feeding her more/less food, or doing anything differently?

I just got 4 more Golden White Cloud Minnows yesterday.. Finally the petstore restocked them! So now I've got 6. It's amazing how they swim all as one...

But I'm wondering how can you sex them? Breeding specifics?

Also, the petstore I go to is having a 10 year anniversary sale starting on the 18th... ALL food is 50% off. There are a million brands of fish food, which is a brand that is actually reliable and is good to feed them?

Keep the nonsense to yourself, but thanks to all who answer!

One is orange with black fins (this one is not a molly)

ARE THEY MALE OR FEMALE?

I think the gold and dalmation are female and might be pregnant-- do you think so?

2007-08-13 16:44:45 · 9 answers · asked by Anonymous

and all the ammonia, nitrate, etc.. are all where they're supposed to be. Do I change the water?, how much? and then do I add my new fish in right away?. What are some fish that I can put in my 5.5 gal that are as colorful as a goldfish? NO neon tetras.

Also can I remove all my zebra danios, and put all my new fish in.

I have seen discus in tanks in aquarium shops and they appear to be OK and yet I have always been told that they should be kept in species tanks.
My community tank is 4 ft and is fairly settled - angels. kissing gouramis, plecos etc.... and tetras. All up fairly peaceful. Would it be possible to add Discus (1 or 2) to this mix successfully
