    Hi! I know this might sound stupid, but is this fish a molly? She never hangs out with our other mollies, our males never breed with her, and she does look slightly more pointy and diamond-shaped than our female mollies (who’re more round)! We’re thinking she might be a platy, a sailfin or a...

  3. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hello everyone, I’m looking for advice for stocking my 29 gallon freshwater tank. I’m planning on keeping about 15 red cherry shrimp, a single male swordtail, and maybe 8 guppies. Is this too many creatures in my tank? Do I need to keep the swordtail with multiple of its same kind? Will the...

    I have 2 male swordtails and 1 male molly in my 20 gallon tall tank right now, and for a while they were getting along fine. The bigger swordtail (1/2 inch larger than the other) would follow around the smaller one, but nothing bad was happening. Yesterday me and my girlfriend noticed that the...

    So I added a new male swordtail into my 10 gallon tank, only previously habited by my male platy and Oto. The days after I added him, both my platy and the swordtail kept having horrible fights, I can't exactly separate them so I just hoped for the fights to stop. It has calmed down relatively...

    I have a 15g tank with one female platy and a nerite snail. I was thinking about putting in two female swordtail females, and two dwarf or honey gouramis. I don't want to put any fish in that would bully my platy. I won't put guppies in, as I've had bullying problems before. I ideally want...

    2 Neon Tetras and 2 swordtails have disappeared over 2 weeks, took the tank apart (theoretically not literally) and filter and no sign? No Signs of Ich, 25% water changes weekly fed once per day.... Im worried. Slowly running out of fish, just found one of my dalmation mollies dead, my tank...

    Hopefully picture is attached. Its not clear how to upload from a Droid... OK, I had a fancy guppy planted tank that started with metal head yellow veil tail males and Moscow females. After about a year, half black red males began showing up. One of them matured into a double swordtail. So I...

    Hi! In one of my tanks I have dwarf panda guppies and Kohaku (koi) swordtails (among other non-livebearers). In another tank, I have just some regular guppies (also among other non-livebearers). I have kept the regular guppies out of the panda guppy tank so that I could make sure any fry in the...

    So we've noticed that some of our neon tetras have been getting very bloated and mis-shapen after feeding. One swims head down and swims aimlessly till his belly gets smaller. One swims alone in the corner. They just don't act normal, but then again, we've never owned neons before! My main...

  14. Livebearers
    So, I have a tank with three tetras, a balloon molly (that I can't figure out is male or female!), an orange swordtail, and two AD frogs. Up until recently they've all played nicely. :( But today I did a full on clean of their rocks, equipment, etc 'cause it was getting all grungy. I took them...
  15. Livebearers
    Hey guys! Are swordtails platys? I know this is probably a dumb question, but I'm not sure if they are or not....I think they are because I THINK that my swordtail mated with my platy, but I'm not sure... Thanks!
  16. Livebearers
    2 of my swordtails had fry within a couple days of each other and now i have maybe around 10 little fry swimming in the floating plants at the top of my aquarium :greenyay: Since this is my first batch i want to try and save as many as possible. Can i keep them in a small tank without a filter...
  17. Fish Breeding
    Hi Everyone- I could have sworn my swordtail (female) was pregnant...was I wrong? I can't find a dark spot or any real hard evidence besides how fast she fattened up... here are some pictures: (they are not the greatest, wish i had a million dollars for a camera to take nice fishy pics)...
