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.

Is my marigold platy pregnant
My betta has red tips on his tail and my cat fish Cory has red spots as well
Are these Molly's a female dalmation & a male silver assorted male?
Can a red wag platy co-exist peacefully with two guppies in a five gallon aquarium?
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?
My two platys and a one guppys fin is getting clear and losing color
What morph is my leopard gecko?
My pet has red spots over her body
I have a Australian Bass and i want to breed it with another. How do i know if its male or female and what will i need for breeding the pairs.
Hi so I have a female platy that gave birth but it is all eggs and I still see eggs in her though. I have a 10 gallon tank with guppies in it to and I have the platt currently in a breeder box science I want to remove the babies but at the bottom of the breeder box I see eggs with what looks like little eyes and I still see eggs in her though what should I do to get there baby to survive please answer as soon as possible
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!
I think my Lyretail Dalmatian molly has the swimmers bladder issue. I have videos that i could send or I can take pictures later. She stays near the top of the tank and seems to have trouble using her rear fin.
