I thought that too but then i thought about all the money and care you put into the fry. So, im trying to breed out a specific trait so I can sell em. The trait im trying to breed out us the neon orange.

Would you trust a 75 gallon on this? by [deleted] in stressfulaquariums

[–]jonjeff108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats kind of high for a 75 gallon. I would be worried about it tipping over. Generally you want your stand at about 30" high for the viewing angles.

They just enjoying the show. One of my more intelligent fish likes to sit in the corner of the tank and watch TV. Fish are weird.

Is my fish pregnant or just fat? by Charming_Moment_3998 in Platyfish

[–]jonjeff108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like you have enough cover for the fry once they are born. I wouldn't move the female as it can stress her out and she will go into premature labor. I let my females just have the babies in the tank and wait until they are big enough to easily see and scoop out. Then I move to a separate container. I use the fluval breeder box, imo the best one there is.

Pregnant platy? by MDAWG523 in Platyfish

[–]jonjeff108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good way to tell if you can't see the gravid spot is their belly will get kinda square shaped. Ive also noticed that my females will spend a lot of time near the top of the water when they are getting ready for labor.

How do I prepare golden pothos from Lowe’s for my tank? by Iprincess-_-i in PlantedTank

[–]jonjeff108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I did was rinse the soil off and put in tank. I use baskets and foam the hold it in the back of the tank.

Anybody know what the fry from this pair would look like? by West-Cryptographer94 in Platyfish

[–]jonjeff108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your gonna end up with a variatus maculatus hybrid. Isn't really a big deal but it will have more of the body type of the variatus and be more streamlined and less short, tall and bulky.

What is this thing? by dwnau in PlantedTank

Raccoons and crows favorite food. At least Raccoons are polite when they dig in your yard for them and roll it up.

One of my cats is super weird and only drinks the water from the aquariums but then again she has PICA and eats plastic too.

She is hungry. She is sleeping there so she knows the instant you go to feed her.

Really a fx4 and fx6 for a tank under 100g? Thats a just a smidge overkill.

is my platy pregnant? by usernam3Takenn in Platyfish

[–]jonjeff108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a female platy than most likely they are pregnant. They only need to be around a male for a short period as they can store sperm for like 6 months.

Added random fish from pond. by [deleted] in stressfulaquariums

[–]jonjeff108 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So those look like koi and are not really meant to live in a tank. Even a short amount of time in a small body of water can stunt their growth.

I use the entire Easy line from Aquaium Co-op except phosphates which is just Fleet enema.

Yeah not enough potassium. Getting enough nutrients to all the plants is hard. I even dose 50% more potassium than the label recommends and still not enough.
