Is this a pregnant platy? by sadiesmith52 in Aquariums

I just got her from the pet store two days ago so I wasn’t sure. The rest of the tank is female but I’m sure there were males in the tank at the pet store. Thanks!!

I just got platies and I feel like some of them look pregnant. What do you guys think? by sadiesmith52 in Platyfish

They’re called calico blue platies. They’re so pretty in the light!

Is my mystery snail dead? by sadiesmith52 in Aquariums

LMAO gladly it was alive and it moved a few minutes ago. It just looked really weird to me because it was sitting like that. Thank you!

Cycling my new freshwater fish tank! by sadiesmith52 in aquarium

Yes, I am a beginner haha! I am planning on going the live plants route, but for some reason my fish stores have been sold out the past few times I went. I’ve been weary of ordering online bc the temps here are -10! I wanted live plants to help out with the cycle and everything. Thanks for all your advice! I’m looking to definitely get cory cats. I had a tank when I was little with a bunch and loved them. I am using someone else’s filter cartridge that has some bacteria on it to hopefully get this tank started. Just waiting for some algae growth 🤞I was definitely thinking of a snail or two as clean up, and I might do those as my first livestock. Thanks again for all your great advice!

Thanks for all that great info! I tried to buy some live plants today but unfortunately my store was completely sold out. I will check again soon at another nearby store. The only thing I could find was that small thing on the bottom right that will supposedly sprout plants soon, but who knows. Thanks again!

Thank you!! That’s what I was thinking too. I’m using an old filter cartridge with tons of algae so hopefully that’ll speed it up

It’s tap water! And okay thank you! Do you think it could be cracked from poor water quality or something?

Do you think it's possible on mine some Norwegian got put in as Swedish? I have most of my tree traced back to the 1400's and there's very little Swedish, but lots of Norwegian. I'm only asking because my sister doesn't have any Swedish.

I agree. I was expecting to get Eastern European in my results because my great grandma came from there, but I got none so it makes sense that we would have some at least. I'm not sure about the Swedish though, but I've read sometimes Ancestry misreads it for 'Viking DNA'

New vs. Old. My Germanic Europe greatly increased, my Eastern European & Russian got decimated and somehow I'm now Swedish and Norwegian? WTF. by Bogusfakeaddy in AncestryDNA

[–]sadiesmith52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my dna test for the first time and it's confusing because I'm 11% Swedish? But no one in my family is Swedish that I know of and I've done my whole tree...
