Tropical Fish Information

Posts Tagged ‘babies’

I have a 50 g tank with a dalmatian molly and a white molly , and some other fish. My dalmatian molly got "pregnant" and popped out 21 baby mollies. I have them in a breeding box and have special first bites fish food for babies and am planning on selling them/ giving them away if i cant sell them. I do not want anymore fish, but I think that this could be a good money maker for a 14 year old. (I have a real job but this could make me some money and I enjoy doing this.) If I keep some fish and they, you know will they be demented because there related? I want to know because if I have tons of fish breeding I will have all sorts of babies and this could become a real job. is this a good future plan? as a back up

okay so i have a 30 gallon fish tank. i want to do something cool with it. i want bright, non-agressive fish. Right now i have one Blue Gourmi, one Red Finned something and a catfish. I also want more live plants for my tank. Right now i have a Banana Plant. I want to have guppies in my tank, male and female. So, they wwill of course make babies and therefor i want plants that will float up top, for the babies to hide in. So i’ll need a lot of information, like what pH, what type of plant chemicals… just anything/everything you know. All comments are appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

i have a mixture of tropical community fish and i have mates for almost all of them and so far i have no luck and my water temp is good and i keep and eye on them and i have plants but still no babies what can i do .is thier anything else i can try

The tank I have is an Eclipse Hex 5 and the water stays at about 79 degrees Fahrenheit. I was thinking of getting a couple of Neon Tetras to put in there, but I’ve read that Chinese Algae eaters can be aggressive. Grover (the Algae eater) has had his own tank now for about two and a half weeks and he’s quite active in there. I don’t want to get him some friends only to come home and find that he’s eaten the other fish because they swam too close to his rock. I’d really like to get a few more fish in there, but the tank is on the small side. I don’t want to be accused of fish abuse for getting a fish that needs more room. Although I’ve heard that Betta fish are great for my style of tank, I do not want a passive fish. I would also like to avoid guppies because of the whole eating the babies thing. Any ideas?
First off, my bad. It’s a Siamese algae eater, not a Chinese. Like I said I’m new to the fish game and I don’t know what I have. I inherited the little guy from a relative who passed recently. He seems to be fine in his tank, but like I said, is there anything friendly that I can put as a tank mate?
