[DclownD]

i got 2 black lace tail mollys i think... 2 juli coris.. 1 otto guy said corrys dont clean.... 3 sunrise gupys... they all looked so pretty... my mom ended up takin me there and she was tryn to get me to buy a bala or a puffer or a chichlid... how about fresh water crabs? they looked so cool.. some of the fish i wanted to get were in quarinitine im guessing they got a few bad batches..

 

[DclownD]

[DclownD]

[DclownD]

ahh and one more question lol how to tell if male or female ... im full of questions today... oh oh and can i still get a yoyo loach if he comes out of quarentine fine?

 

[GeraldTheMouse]

Here is a pic of a preggo guppy if you want it: http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/att...regnant-guppies-pregnantguppy_03_01_2003b.jpg

 

[DclownD]

okie there not prego just fat lol.. but my gupy looks so different they dont have a big tail but they are so fat.. should i not feed them for a day see if i can get rid of some of the belly...

i think there 2 female 1 male guppy and uhh the mollys i think there both males maybe... the finage on the mollys is so big i just think hey he is a handsome devil... so male id think..

 

[DclownD]

ummm one of my corry is actin funny so i put him in my 5 gal bucket with wter from my tank... im worried he is gonna die... and i dont want him to sour my water over night..

 

[DclownD]

hmm i think my ph may be 2 high... id say its 7-7.2

 

[FreshwaterJeff]

7.0-7.2 isn't too high...that's pretty much right on neutral...

Don't get a yoyo loach unless you have room for at least three - they're very social. Your cory may just be adjusting to his new environment - and moving him to a bucket isn't going to help with that. I don't think he'd foul your tank too badly overnight if he were to die - just keep an eye on him.

Good job not letting your mom talk you into cichlids, balas, or puffers

And here's your best friend when looking for pictures...

uhh are sunset platy bad? as thats what i have not guppys even though it said guppys..

and there lyretail molly and im gonna get a few plants it looks like >.> and i swear it said 2" not 5"

 

[FreshwaterJeff]

Nah.

Platies are livebearers like guppies, and are very similar to mollies and swordtails. They're easy to keep, interesting, and peaceful - and I actually prefer them to guppies, who are a little too flashy for me.

 

[DclownD]

what kind of plants do you suggest... wont be getting any till friday or next wensday but... you know i wanna have an idea ahead of time.

 

[DclownD]

and one more question whats the best flake for platy and molly and cory and otto lol or do u use sumtin else... i bought brine shrimp, kikari algae wafers, and tetra color tropical flakes

 

[DclownD]

bah that cory is dead the other one is going crazy swimming everywhere and so is the otto... is somtin else wrong?
im gonna return it tommorrow and bring a water sample anyone know how much water i need for petco?

 

[GeraldTheMouse]

Brine shrimp - You should feed as a treat.
Hikari Algae Wafers - You can put in half in at morning and the other half a night
Flakes - Feed the fish around 2 times per day.

About plants, can you tell us about your lighting?

P.S. If anyone finds something wrong in my post, please tell me, I am really tired right now, but I don't feel like sleeping.

EDIT: I recently got two corys too, and if your other one is swimming really quickly up and down the glass, I think its okay.

 

[DclownD]

i dont have lighting till i get the plants i plan on getting both at the same time...
