bedazzled Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I am a relative newbie to fishkeeping. I have a small freshwater tropical setup and I love it! I can see myself needing a bigger tank before too long lol I have had some teething problems but I can not rave about my LFS enough, the lady down there is an expert and very helpful and now I have a healthy tank with crystal clear water and to my total amazement I discoved a baby platy about a week ago!

Guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi and welcome bedazzled. Congrats on the baby platy. What other fish are in your tank and what size is it? Also you should get another tank as you can never have to many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedazzled Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi and welcome bedazzled. Congrats on the baby platy. What other fish are in your tank and what size is it? Also you should get another tank as you can never have to many. Thanks Cam I have 6 leopard danios (4 of which I think are going to spawn) 3 platy (4 with bubba) 2 golden corys 1 Bristlenose My tank is only 10 Gallon so I know if they keep breeding then I am going to have to invest in a bigger tank because I will find it hard to part with any body lol Does any one else have names for all the fish in their tanks or is it just me :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedazzled Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 MTS = multiple tank syndrome oh heck lol My partner said when I got my tank " I don't want to hear you asking for a bigger tank in a few months" so I have some serious greasing up to do LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Just say that you NEED it so you can keep all the platy fry or maybe the leopard danios fry if they spawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 welcome and congratulations on the platy fry. Yes, you do need a bigger tank or two, after all you will probably want to get some more fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedazzled Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Thanks for the wonderful warm welcomes guys I spotted a few eggs in the tank while doing a gravel vac last night, I sat and watched them like a hawk for a while until one of my platys came along and gobbled them up :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northland chic Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Welcome it is great to see another Northlander! When I first started keeping fish I had names for them all but after a few you will run out of names and it just makes losing them harder! Welcome!

bedazzled Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Thanks for the welcome northland chick Yea I know it makes it harder to lose them. We have been quite lucky I guess, my tank was in dire straights with a ammonia spike and according to the LFS when they tested the water all my fish should have been dead and we only lost one. RIP sucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuba Sam Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi Bedazzed, welcome to the forum!! Nice to have another Northlander on board. Some of my fish still have names - you definitely aren't the only one. I kinda ran out of names a while ago now though. What do you think your eggs were? Were they scattered on the bottom or stuck to something? Good luck with your platy baby - I can spare some java moss or floating plants if you need a hiding place for it!! Cherers, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedazzled Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi Sam I am pretty certain the eggs were from the leopard danios as I have some very FAT ones around at the mo. I am expecting to get some more eggs. Some plants would be awesome. I will PM you Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
