Aquarium Fish Species

They have a gestation period of around 28 days depending on temperature. If conditions do not suit a female she is capable of holding on to the fry and dying rather than giving birth. Guppies need a temperature of around 75F medium hardness and Neutral pH. then follow the rules. The rules are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water but more is better. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week.Follow the rules and you stand a chance of keeping fish successfully. Miss out on any of them, and I can guarantee that your fish will have constant health problems.

Adaptations-
1.) Compressed bodies with a thin and very slim shape enable Angelfish to slip through thickets of plant growth to escape a fight with another angel, or more importantly, escape danger.
2.) wild Angelfishes natural coloration consists of a silvery background with three or more dark brown stripes. This is very effective for hiding from predators especially in a dark enviroment. One stripe extends over their eye to further hide them from detection...
3.) Angelfish are able to stand "stock-still" for several minutes this also leads to a great advantage as to not be seen by predators in the wild.

Angelfish are also very cautious of the cichlid family and will immediately take cover in the presence of danger.

Baby Mollies should not change colour. (They are not like goldfish) They are released from the females cloaca with their adult colouring. It is only hard to see variations/spots etc because the fish are so tiny. As they grow larger these different markings will become more evident.

If by "standing position" you mean almost horizontal in the water and facing in the direction in which it either is travelling or is intending to travel. It is doing exactly the same as most other creatures. It is the most sensible and reasonable position to be in.

Fish do not go through metamorphosis,(changing completely, for example caterpillar - butterfly). so it's simple, eggs, then very small fish, then it keeps getting larger so to make a long answer short - eggs, then fish

they eat tropical flake foods as well as blood worms and krill

The biggest bird in the Philippines is the Pithecophaga Jefferyi, an eagle. This bird is not only the biggest in the Philippines, but is also one of the two top biggest birds in the world.

To see a Molly's egg you would need some fish like males and females you don't have to cut her open an egg looks like an egg an African Chiclids egg looks like a yellow dot but their very small and could take 3 to 4 weeks to hatch

guppys, not. not sure bout the others

they should go together depending on what africans you have and how big they are.

i have a convict female south american cichlid and a jewel male african cichlid that laid eggs and now have fry.

The simple answer is No. Distilled water has had all the life giving impurities removed. Before using distilled water you would need to add specific quantities of minerals etc depending upon the species of fish you want to keep.

Yes, some type of filter is recommended, depending on the size of the tank and your setup, you can look at using a box filter, power filter, or even an undergravel filter. Personally I use power filters in my 10 gallon tanks with a fine mesh covering the intake tube, and do weekly water changes.

Yes they are.

My answer based on experience: I have had baby platys and what I do is have lots of fake plants which are the cheapest floating around on the surface of the tank for them to hide in. Also when you feed your bigger fish crumble up little flakes and sprinkle them over the little plants for the little babies.

Most people would tell you to go buy collinders or separate the mom from the babies if you do my answer then you will save LOADS of money and it works

For one you need to be able to tell the difference between male and female.

Males always have the sword on their tail and are normally bright coloured or speckled. Females don't have the sword and look anything between whitey grey to orangey or yellowy even speckled.

If a female is pregnant you will start to notice her baby bump in a week or two. It is a good idea that you separate her or even better put in a few LIVE plants or hidey holes for cover so the baby fish can hide so they wont be eaten by their mother or father or anyone else for that matter.

These little fish (Hemigrammus erythrozonus) have no easilly visible sexual differences util they are adult and ready to breed. At this time the females develop heavier,chubbier outlines than the males. This is due to the female filling with ova. (eggs). They are not easy to breed and are even harder to rear once they have been spawned.

Some of the "Salmon" family amongst others have this "die after breeding" feature in their life cycle it is called "semelparity".

yes, platys eat baby fry

however, if you buy a special breeding net or a breeding tank, they will survive.

also, if you have many plants to protect the fry, some should make it. But be sure to separate the fry from the parents.

Do you have any idea how big most Plecostomus sp. get? They grow into monsters (12" minimum) and your tiny 10 gallon tank won't be big enough for it by itself. If you just had the five smaller fish and the Betta you would be very close to overstocked because your 10 (nominal) gallon tank will actually only contain a maximum of around 8 or 9 gallons. Tanks are never filled to the brim and probably also have gravel on the bottom which will displace some water.

Mystery snail (Pomacea Bridgesii) also called Apple snail are OK with the smaller fish but to put them in with large and aggressive cichlids like the Jack Dempsey (Cichlasoma octofasciatum) is begging to have them killed and eaten. The simple answer is no they are not compatible.

they are benthos :D was bout to ask same question lol science class when is it going to end lol >_>

thankz for reading bye well dont just sit ther and stare at the page look for more lol

They come from the darkish, tanin stained waters of the tributaries in the Amazonian Jungle supplying the Amazon River. They are found in the not too deep waters along the edges of the undergrowth. Their main diet is tiny crustacea and mosquito and other insect larvae.

It seems someone somewhere is preying upon the gullibillity and ignorance of the fish buying public and selling something that is not a Koi as a Koi. (Officially/Taxonomicaly there is no such thing as a Koi Swordfish). Koi (Cyprinus carpio) is not a description it is a species. They are cold water egg layers that can grow to around 4 or 5 feet long. Koi are members of the goldfish family. Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are tropical livebearing fish and grow to a maximum of 2 inches. These two species obviously can not cross breed. It is possible that (In America) the common Swordtail Guppy is now being promoted/sold as a Koi Swordtail. If this is the case then yes all of the many different colour types and fin types of guppy (Poecilia reticulata) can and will readily breed with one another because they are the same species.

Angelfish are a schooling/shoaling species and should be kept in groups of no less than 5 if you with to avoid fighting and bullying problems in the growing young fish. 2 males will be OK until they reach breeding size and condition and then there could be fights as they try to mate up with females. I very much doubt if you can sex your angelfish anyway. It is extremely difficult. Particularly when two females will commonly get together and spawn.

True sharks can not be kept with Oscars. Oscars are freshwater fish and Sharks live in the ocean. There are however several species of freshwater fish that are commonly called sharks that could possibly be kept with Oscars provided the tank is large enough.
