Are my fish okay? help?

Posted on September 17, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

I have 2 giant fish, their about 5 inches in length and 8 inches around the one is a black moor and the other one is a ryukin and I have a 300L tank and I have 2 pond plants in their and loads of stones I bought the tank second hand from a fish store and was apparantly cleaned properly and looked brand new the guy gave me stones that were apparantly good for the fish and easy to clean which I didn’t like the colour but what evers best for my fish I’ve had them all set up for a month and I’ve had to clean them for the first time and I’ve noticed little bug things like seamonkeys and triops are stuck on my fish and seem to be going under their skin? I don’t really know? I’m taking them to the vets soon when I have the money but can anyone tell me what this could be?

Thanks :)

I’m really concerned as they were £85 for the two and I absoloutley love them too bits! <3

i’m confused with my guppy!?

Posted on September 16, 2011 by admin| 6 Comments

so iv had a pregnant guppy for sometime now and yesterday i noticed that my guppy was no longer fat and her gravid spot had changed color but i could still see a tiny little black patch in it. so i searched the tank frantically but i found 3 completely different species of animals! i found 1 baby triops, 1 tiny little golden worm that shimmered but i lost it, i think my molly eaten it and i found some white tiny little worm that is attached to the glass and it is curling up and then un curling. i am really confused because theres no fry. but then when i woke up this morning my guppys gravid spot is fully black again! so i were wondering whats going on? thanks 10 points best answer

How often do triops lay their eggs?

Posted on September 15, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I bought a triops kit for the first time a week ago and only three hatched. One of them died and the other was subject to cannibalism. I read that they lay eggs every day. If so, when my single triops reaches full maturity, can a place him in a small container for a day or so to lay eggs? I don’t want to go the the wonderful project of getting eggs out of my tank substrate… can’t I just collect a bunch of them in a small container and the dry them out?

Can triops be in the same tank as small 1-inch minnows? Will the minnows kill triop eggs or infants or attack?

Also, do minnows eat fairy shrimp? I know triops do.

I know I asked this before but no answers.
