We actually have a 10 gallon that is used to house any and all fry until they are large enough to be traded in to our LFS which is where the female guppy is now. I am thinking we will just stick with the males in my sons tank for now. Thanks for the […]
Heather, I think it is an overcrowding issue- I should talk as my 55 has a pile of platys and my pond is overstocked but I didn’t do it. the fish did. Maybe a 20 Gal tank would make things easier- I always had trouble with 10 gal as they emptied too fast […]
A 10G tank should probably not have more than 4-5 guppies… maybe 3-4 males with the juvi pleco. Guppies grow to around 2.5″ It would be best if you get baby/juvi clown or bristle nosed plecos (or one of the other dwarf varieties but those two are usually cheapest) which you will still […]

What area of the world are you located in? I know some areas do not have as many available meds. Are you familiar with any of the meds that are available in your area?
First, you should move the ill fish to a quarantine tank so that you can treat it separately. This […]
Hi Groups,
Sorry for the cross-post but I’m only doing it to two groups so it shouldn’t affect too many folks.
SELAS is SouthEast Louisiana Aquarium Society, http://www.selas.us, which is a recently set up society for this area.
While I’m a member of the society, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to attend meetings, etc., due to […]
Just out of curiosity, how are you measuring ph? I use the API test kits, and I can’t discern teh results with that degree of specificity. What is more, my ph reagent usually suggests a lower ph than my high ph reagent. I do know if the colors […]
What time of day did you test the pH? Was it first thing in the morning? Was it later in the day? Do you have any other test results for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, GH, KH?
We went through this recently with someone else so yours may be the same situation.
Do you have live plants […]
