I found this on TikTok. They have 3 male bettas in here, and they captioned the video that they are best friends. Their fins are rotting and have probably been bit off because 3 males? I think these guys are so stressed to the point that they aren’t killing each other. People in the comments are advising they are attacking each other, but the creator is replying with “No they aren’t because I don’t see it.” This is just- I don’t know. These poor babies are in a box with bright gravel and a filter. No out of sight zones.

So, I am upgrading my 30 gallon to a 55. I’m adding my fish from my 30 into my 55- and I have a lot of stocking space

I have currently
5 mollies
7kuhlis
2 Cory’s (ADDING TO THE GROUP)
1 nerite
Like 30 Molly fry I’m going to give to my lfs

What I want
I want to have a pair of angels- they are so pretty, but I’m curious on if they will be compatible
6-8 mollies
8 Cory’s
10 kuhlis
Cherry shrimp
2-3 nerites
Maybe a group of rummy noses or a schooling fish? I do not want larger tetras like white skirts, I’ve kept them before but I can’t find them anywhere else so I can’t have them

This tank will have multiple driftwood pieces, floaters, tiger lotus, vallisneria, anubias, parrotsfeather, ferns, and a lot more. I will have fluval stratum with multiple decently sized sandpits in different areas of the tank, and some under driftwood for secure areas to sift. I plant to have moderately hard water, with a temp of 77-78, with an HOB filter that has airline tubing separating it from the floaters.

The photo is so this will be seen more and so I can get some good advice

So, I did a water change today in my 30 gallon- and I look at my tank and do my routine health check, and stumbled upon what looks like, EGGS!!!
There seems to be about 8 eggs, I am already dealing with like 50 Molly fry, and this would be my first time caring for eggs.
One corydora has a big and full belly. When she rests, her tail tends to lean up, and is unable to lay flat, unlike the other. The other I think Is male, since his pectoral fins are more pointed, and sharper looking as a shape.
What should I do? I know if they are nerite I should scrape them off, plus, they can’t hatch in freshwater, but what on earth should I do for Corydoras?
My tank is not stocked the best, and definitely needs work, so please do not bother me about ONE PARTICULAR GROUP. They need work on it, but if these are their eggs, I may be in luck!!

I have 5 mollies( NOT THE CULPRIT because livebearing reasons)

7 Kuhli loaches (possible but HIGHLY UNLIKELY)

1 nerite snail (could be, very likely)

2 Albino corydoras (could be, very likely)
(ps, this is the group I mentioned earlier that needs work)

also don’t mind my crusty glass I spilt water and it dried. I need to clean it.

Got these cuttings from a water change a week ago! I decided to press them and here they are!!! There was some damage and I had to tape the plants down while drying- I’m gonna glue them to the paper soon!!!

First one: Anubias

Second one: Vallisneria

Third one: Parrotsfeather

I’m planning to do more next time my plants need to be trimmed!!! I’m hoping to do water wisteria, African water fern, and maybe Ludwigia-

Honestly this was really fun and I hope to do this again! Feel free to try too!!!

I wanted to share my 3 week old babies, and I have some tips for you all!!!! Also sorry for the bad quality photos- they NEVER stop moving!

Okay so,Mom is a beautiful black Molly and so is Dad, they are amazing and Dad is so sweet<3
I’m trying to start my own line of very pretty mollies to try and become a breeder

I have 2 black mollies(1 male and 1 female) ,a gold nugget(female), a dalmation(male),and a calico lyre tail (female). Everyone is not related, so it can help me get good genes (I have noticed) Also, if your males are calm, you can typically keep more than one male with your females.

Anyways, now here’s the tips!
I found many people struggle with catching babies, so,

GET FLOATERS!!! all my fry were hiding in them when I discovered their existence!!! Made it super easy to catch them, I just needed to scoop up the floaters.

KEEP PLANTS WITH THE BABIES!!! it gives them a sort of hiding zone, and I keep anubias and African water ferns with them.

I have a breeder box for the babies, it’s 6x6 inches, which can let me grow them to be big enough for the main tank.

Feed crushed up flakes and occasionally cut up bloodworms! My babies are already almost an inch long.

PLEASE CULL ANY UNHEALTHY BABIES!!!! I had 2 babies that needed to be culled, I just fed them to mom, since one had no eyes, and another was missing an eye and could barely swim upright.

FEED SMALL PORTIONS! I feed 3-4 small portions a day, instead of 1-2 big ones!

I HAD NO LOSSES!!! It was my first time having babies, which these things prevented them!!!

So I have made a post a few days ago- showing how my black Kuhli is slowly losing color- I thought nothing of it and I know they can get paler as they get older- but she is entirely white with black spots and has been like this ALL day. The photos are put from when I first noticed to her now- she also has a big scrape on her nose(she ran into something I think-)

My Kuhli has been out more(recently changed to a all planted tank) and I noticed these lines and freckles on her-I’m unsure if it was there all along and I just noticed, or if it is ammonia burn/ infection.

Parameters are

Ammonia 0ppm

Nitrate 20 ppm

Nitrite 0ppm

Ph between 7.0 and 7.5

Carbonate hardness 80

General hardness 60
