I have one female guppy in a breeding trap. Yesterday, she gave birth to one dead baby. She still looks pregnant. Should I take her out of the trap or leave her in.

First, I have been away from the fish seen for awhile, whilst I am building a new house. I have set up my 110 gal at my office in the west end. The tank has two purple parrots and three plecos and a dojo loach. Its got two 48" coralife fixtures each sporting twin 65 watt bulbs. I am looking to create a planted tank. I would appreciate any advice on set up, co2 and where to get cheap healthy plants. The tank is not new and has been running for about 3 years and I have a couple anubis as well. thank you in advance. Doug

I paid about $900 for a 110, lids. light , xp and ebo-jager complete with 100 lbs of gravel. got it at BA's Larry

:welcome: Good to see ya Larry

Will Do. Larry

I realize that NLS make different food for different fish. I have some cichlids in with my other tetras and the like. Well, I have two purple parrots in my community tank with swords, rainbows, rams, tetras, loaches and angels. I usually feed this tanks mysis shrimp, brine shiimp or Tetramin. I was thinking of trying my cichlid NLS in this tank. Is there any reason why not? Should I use something else? Larry

I'd but 40 lbs in min.....If you like lots of sand, throw the whole bag in. Larry

OMG, i just shined a flash light under the rock that they are protecting and there are tons of wigglers under there. This is Very kool. Thanks again, Larry

Yes, what i have done is the following: Added a bn pleco 40% water change/clean gravel added floating jave fern limited light to about 4 hrs/day seems to be working just great, thanks to all for the info Larry

My convicts that put eggs on a rock wall a few days ago have taken them all and scattered them around the floor of the cave. They are still protective of them. Do you think this is normal or are these eggs just not going to hatch? Larry

I always leave the light on after i feed the fish. My thinking is that they will not see the food if I turn the light off. Here it comes..... Can fish eat in the dark? Larry

That might not be a bad Idea. The 66 gal tank has tons of large rock in it; lots of caves. I think that the 4" green terror would probably find it easier to catch them that i would with all the rock in there. Anyone else ever move unhatched eggs? Larry

I think you should stave the RBP's and add this other snake by the name of Cam Ward and let the Rbp's do their job. Larry

help

I have a very small bn pleco that i got from jason. I am not sure of the lighting but i think there is lots. The tank is in a rack with two 4 foot bulbs in it. There are some sort of snails in there but i am not sure what kind they are. Larry

OK, I need a little help here. My excavating pink convicts have laid some eggs on a rock in a pit. They are in a 66 gal tank with some other fish. How long till they hatch and can should i remove th fry right away?? If I do, can I put them in a tank with one week old swordtail fry or should I put them in there own tank right away? Thanks again for your help, Larry

I have some of the Java fern that I got from you in this tank. I can put it in another tank though. I will take out the plants and turn off the light. The algae is on the sand bottom of the tank. Cheers, Larry

My fry tank has some Nuclear green algae in it. Its that florescent green stuff. How can I get rid of it. The fry are still very small so I am not sure about chemicals or fish that might eat the stuff. Any help is appriciated. Cheers, Larry

I have looked everyday, i have never seen any eggs. They started another excavation, but no eggs in there either. Oh well, I am hopefull. Larry

It looks like a cloud with a skin around it. A sac with cloudy stuff inside. Larry

It seems that there are clouds of some kind clinging to a piece of wood on the bottom of one of my tanks. Looks like some kind of mold or something. Can mold grow without air? Could it be fish eggs? Its a 10 gal with sand substrate some java moss and a couple white clouds.(fish) Any intel would be appreciated. Larry

I have a 10 gal nano that has the stock incondecent fixture with two 25 watt coralife bulbs in it. Larry

I have 1 green terror, 4 pink convicts, 2 blue fish (was told they were called white backs), 2 purple parrots and a red tail shark. I have been feeding them both the mysis and the nls everyday. I guess i will scale back the mysis. Larry

In my cichlid tank, i am feeding them myisis shrimp and NLS. Is this a good combination or should it be just one or the other? Larry

I am not sure yet if I am going to do an order or not. The reason I am thinking of it is; I am tired of driving around town to every LFS looking for a fish. Then when I get there, the advice I get from the "fish expert" is pretty much personal opinion. I am thinking that I am better off buying an expensive fish atlas and reading up on what fish I want then ordering exactly that. Larry
