    Hi! So, I’m a little new to fish. I rescued 2 platys from being feeders in a gross turtle tank, one died and I am left with the last one. He had fin rot and is recovering nicely! anyway, I’m hoping to expand my fishtopia and today I went out to my local Petco and bought 2 platys and 1 Molly...
  2. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    Hi everyone. I have a question if some experts can help me here. I have my fish tank already more than a year, of course all is cycled and my parameters are always a high priority to me. Already checked all main parameters, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Also PH all under ranges, as I always...
  3. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hi all! I have a new hobby because I made a bet with my husband that he couldn't win me a goldfish at the fair! Well he did! After having the goldfish in a 1.5 gallon tank for a bit and treating him just in case he had something we have now upgraded to a 10 gallon and added 2 platies and 2 fancy...

  5. Livebearers
    I usually let nature take its course with platy fry in a community tank, but this time when I found 2 of them, I thought it might be cool to see if I could raise them. I actually ended up donating the 2 adult males I had him my main tank because they were chasing the females around so much I...
  6. Anabantids
    I am getting ready to transfer a betta to a smaller tank, from a 20gal to a 10gal and I'm thinking about adding a Gourami to the 20gal, but I'm curious if there are any that would get along with the platys and bolivian I have in the tank right now. While I wouldn't mind a Blue Gourami, but my...
  7. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hi, I got a lovely new 20gallon tank, about a month ago. I set it up and planted some hygrophillia and an anubis (sorry about the spelling) adding a little fertiliser to the water since the tank was brand new. Then 2 weeks ago I added 4 platys. ...I did everything the lfs told me to....so I...
  8. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    Sadly, im going to have to get rid of my Mollies. So, thatll leave three guppies in the tank, one male, two females. I was wondering how many more guppies i could fit comfortably [without babies, will explain] in my 14 gallon. [Its alot easier to handle with water changes!] The babies im not...
  9. Livebearers
    I have silver mollies, an orange platy and two guppies in my tank. One of them keeps having babies. They look like the silver mollies but they are brownish in color. I thought it was the mollies and platy breeding but everything I read says that's impossible. Can it be the mollies and one of the...
  10. Livebearers
    Hi I am thinking of putting swordtails in my tank instead of platys. How many is the minimum amount of swordtails necessary for them to be happy? (my tank description is in my signature) I don't want any babies, cuz then I'll have to take care of them, so preferably I'd like to have all males...

  12. Freshwater Shrimp
    Yesterday I added two ghost shrimp to my ten gallon tank. There is a plant along with two caves and some fish. The one ghost shrimp jumps and swims and goes all over the place. The other, well it hides in the cave and I dont think it ever moves. I know it is alive, when a fish goes into it, it...
  13. Livebearers
    If i have a few platys, a few mollies, and a few guppies male and female of each can and will they crossbreed? i was just unsure and thought that would be really cool since they are all livebearing fish :P oh and does anyone have pictures of the turnouts? and will they fry be able to reproduce...

    Good morning everyone. I'm new to the community and a beginner in this world of freshwater aquariums. I've had goldfish growing up, but that's about it. A few weeks ago, we set up our 10-gallon tank and, once set up and cycled, purchased 3 sunset platys, 2 mickey mouse platys and a blue...
