Do you think my guppy is pregnant?

Posted on September 30, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

My female guppy named Bella is my 4th fish after my Betta and 2 other guppies.She has a dark/big gravid spot on one of her sides and on the other side her gravid spot is dark but its not big, and her stomach isnt very big!I have had it for about over a month and when I got it I got it with 2 male guppies but sadly they both died during the first 2 weeks :( in the pet store she was only with female fish so when I put her with the males she was scared at first but later she was ok with being around them.Her stomach is barely bigger than it was before and I really want her to have babies! I dont have a link to a picture of her but my profile picture is of her.Plz help I really want to know if she is pregnant. p.s Im getting triops and was wondering if I can put them with her? Thnx ;) -Vanessa
Also she sits in 1 spot and she eats alot!

My triops are less than a few hours old and they have no detritus to feed off so what can I feed them? 10 pts?

What’s a good size habitat for Triops?

Posted on July 6, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I bought some Triops on eBay, and I don’t know what a good size habitat for them is. I was planning on buying one from a Pet store.

The container is perfect except that I’m not sure the size is enough. Everyone says the depth isn’t nearly as important as the length and width.

It’s 6″x9.2″x6.6″ (6 liters) (4.6 Square feet)

Is that big enough?

Also, if that’s too big (or bigger than it needs to be) how about:

4.4″x7.13″x5.5″ (2.8 liters) (2.6 square feet)
UPDATE;

I just read some guides, and most say to add NO MORE than a liter of water. If I got with the larger container, I could only fill it a little over one inch of water at the MOST, which seems too shallow to me. Thoughts?
If you think I should hatch them in a small container (like a cup), and then transplant them, when do I move them, and to which container? Most guides say wait until Day 8 (when they are big enough to move), what do you think?

Also, should they be moved to the bigger container of the two I listed?

Are sea-monkeys really alive because …?

Posted on June 6, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

Are sea-monkeys really alive because there are laws against a child buying a pet from the pet-store for example a child couldn’t walk in to a pet-store and buy a fish … so if they are alive , why arent their rules against a child buying seamonkeys / triops ?
