ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.

Black molly with a white spot near the anal fin. Is she pregnant
I think my female platy might be pregnant! I just got her today and they said she was the only female in the tank I have 1 female and 1 male in my tank as of today, she is hiding a lot and the male seems to be aggressive towards her, and she is looking overfed or pregnant so I think another platy in the pet stores tank impregnated her and the male I bought is trying to either make her miscarry from stress or planning to kill the frys (as animals do) so he can impregnate her himself, Thanks!
My platy had 9 fish the other day. Is she likely to have more or can I put her back with the rest of the population?
