-
yes the water tests r the same as they were b4 I just don't understand what's wrong, nothings changed and yet he has
-
no different coloring, as I said he LOOKS the same but he ACTS sick
-
ok nothing is new except a day or two ago I did a small water change. he's in a 3 foot tank with guppies all juvinials, a dozen or so cory's one B/N and that's all. there WAS 2 neons that died 2 days before he started not being well and 4 danios which have been isolated because they looked sick, 2 have subsiquently died the other 2 look healthy again. His fins are clamped today I have had him for a month or two bought him from the LFS so not sure how old he is.

Ok now from what I've seen of my male I know he doesn't normaly lay around the bottom of the tank looking all depressed and slugish. However seems he's been doing that for the past hour or more that I've noticed. I admit I've been out and about to day so don't know how long he's been like this. He was fine last night but now he's just not right, hiding and not coming up for air as much as he normaly does. anyone have any ideas???

so what else was in the 10 gallon tank? personaly I would think that moving so many into any tank at once is really not good. It might be an idea to just have 5 or so in the tank for a week, then move another 5 and so on. I can tell you that new tanks seem to go "cloudy" for a little while and then clear up over time. it took my 3 footer nearly a month before it looked "clear" I kept thinking it was my insificiant lighting.

I have guppies in with my male betta and don't THINK he's nibbled any of them YET. I have had problems with mollys, danios, and even a skunk loach nibbling them though. Also my guppies are all juvinials, just over half full grown so don't think he sees them as a threat yet. I would say, however, from what you have in your tank that's probably your only suspect.

Hey I'd be very interested in knowing times and such. Also me and Pene know someone else who would be interested aswell.
-
Heck I don't mined helping anyone out. People have given me plants with only cost being shipping. I've got to many guppies and they breed like "guppies" so if anyone wants some and can come and pick them up I"m more than happy to share. Now for the punch line, I'm an AMERICAN!!! Seems ya'lls cheritable and generose attitude has finally taken over the paranoid American part of me. You know though it's really not paranoia when they ARE out to get you
-
hey hey I've got guppies comin out my ears. you want guppies come and get em, as many as you want with in reason of cource. PM me if you would like some. This offer is opend to anyone that can pick em up.
-
hey snowman sounds like you NEED a skunk. wanna trade lol
-
well there are pleanty of hidy holes, I think, in the tank but there are 4 ppr cory's and 3 albino corys, a BN, gonna be 2 blue steel apistogrammas (males), a dozen or so guppylings, 3 adults, and one male betta. I really don't want it to bully my other fish, they all get on quite well.
-
I had asked about one of them and was told they don't they don't eat snails. I am really rather put out because I THOUGHT I was getting a lovely peaceful comunity fish and turns out I've got a semi agresive, teritorial one. I tell you I am not impressed.
-
I have had a snail problem and went to the LFS. I was shown my choices and thought I'd get the snail rid and subsiquently OD'd the tanks by over estimating there sizes and killed most of my adult guppies, all other fish were fine. Now I have went back to the LFS and decided, this is some time later, to get the loach that I was advised to get the first time, a skunk loach. Since then I have found some interesting reading saying what a fin nipper it is. I have only had it an hour and I really don't want one that's going to be nipping other's fins as I've just gotten rid of my other two tank bullies. Can anyone help me here? I want a nice, peacefull, non fin nipping, snail eating loach that won't get to big for my 3 foot tank. thanks ya'll

I've just been reading a very good book and have just bought my first lovely male myself. Now this book "Siamese fighting fish by gene wolfsheimer" under Physiologica, "The auther, at times, had maintained a strain of bettas in which the females often carried such exceptional fins (for there sex) that they were mistaken for males. The author also admits to having attempted to breed one of these females, thjinking she as a male, to another female. The misidentification occurred because this presumed "male" blew a beautiful bubble nest. Which goes to show that the female betta does, on rare occasion, take on the nest manufacturing job usually assumed by the male." page 9. So I would assume u have a female just looking for MR right or maybe she prefers same sex company?

misnoma and caryls plants arived a day after they sent them all in good condition and wnet into my tank just fine. I must say they look quite good to and the fishy's seem to be enjoying there new "play things".
-
so I have to ask if ur running one light on a standerd 3 foot tank what kinda light should u b running and for how many hours of the day. I don't want to desturb my fishys or have algy take over so....
-
looks awsome, hope to have one just abit bigger than that myself some day n would be thrilled if it looked that good.
-
howdy ya'll. here's the deal, I've moved (killed) everything in my 3 foot tank and am now getting some lovely Apistogramma agazzis double red, Apistogrammis Blue Steel to put in the tank with some guppy fry (live food). Now the only other residents of this tank, besides ghosts, are a male n female black molly and a BN. The tank is well planted, lots of lovely hiding spots (drift wood cave like thingys). Now I'm wonderin what else would be good here. I've got some guppies n another tank, recovering from an unfortunate accedent, with a group of cory's. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts, ideas. Thanks ya'll

My BN is a strickt meat eater. I've tried a number of veggies, I'm sure hubby thought I was making a salad out of the tank, and turned his nose up at everything. However put some ox heart in for the guppies and it's the BN's cat nip. He must only go for algee and meat cuz he doesn't bother any of the plants, not even the broad leaf one's.
-
How did I know you'd be getting a second tank pene You'll end up like Richard, not that that's a bad thing. Wish I had a room I could put a bunch of fishy tanks in, like the lounge, but don't think hubby would go for that.

was talking to my husband last night and he said a work mate of his that's into fishy's had the same problem with a little black and yellow fish. They are SUPPOSE to be excelent comunity fishy's but seems they can have big problems.
