    Hello, I have 3 platy fish in my 20 gallon tank and I recently noticed that 2 of the 3 are pregnant. I of course don't plan to keep all of the fry, I'm giving them to lovely homes, but I can't help but be curious as to what the genetics could Possibly be. Im aware that the genetics cant be...

    Okay so this is probably a bad idea but I’ve been considering hatching my mystery snail’s eggs. We bought her from a pet store on the 24th and a few days ago she laid a clutch of eggs. I just wiped it off and threw it in the trash, not wanted to have 30 little mystery snails swimming around...

    Hello all! I have bred a pair of bettas, and it is the second day after laying the eggs and they have already hatched. I have fry now that can not seem to stay in the nest, and the male puts them back into the nest when he can, but the ones that fall all the way to the bottom lie there...

    I know it sounds horrible. One of my Mollys gave birth, and I have tried to give away my babies for free. But leaving in Canada doesn't seem to have as many outlets like USA does. I still have like 30 babies in a 37.5 gallon tank, with the about 10 of my adult fish. They are getting bigger and...

    One of the best ways to improve the growth rate of newborn fish is to give them ample supplies of healthy live foods. Microworms are a great choice for feeding small fry. These roundworms are a free-living (non-parasitic) nematode that is also known as the sour paste nematode. They are very easy...

    One of the easiest ways to improve the growth rate of newborn fish is to give them ample supplies of healthy live foods.
