i want to ask you.. (none / 0) (#4)

did you recently add fish? are there any algea eaters or plecos or even catfish or snails in this tank? if so i recommend after you do the cycleing with changes that you do 25% every other day and that you also get metal-gone rocks for your filter they absorb a large quantity of aminia nitrates and nitrites as well as heavy metals in the tank you can even mix them with carbon and zeolite!!! my fish are very happy in their community now thay i have the metal-gone in my tank filter!!

i have a pleco 2 algea eaters 60+ mls snails and 6 very bright looking guppies!!! though my big flashy male died and a tiny female did too!! they were showing signs of being old and they just recovered from ick so its to be expected!!

anywho i would like to add that i feel for you my fire tale half black male did that right before he died!! mabey if you have a spare tank or container you can qurantein her?oh and remember to use a cup to get her out and dont remove her from the water drop the cup in the qurantein container and let her swim out she may just be tired from labor!! i have seen them do this and be fine after a few days all over the birthing of fry!!
