Roughly 2 years old, probably 5-6inch 55 gal, usually hides in his cave during the day and only comes out at night (very shy usually spooked as soon as he sees me) today I saw him on the glass (prefers his driftwood) and first thing I thought was damn bro u round- so is this healthy or is he indeed a lil big
I’m the rin! My friend is buro! Sadly nobody knew who we were cosplaying but I still had a lot of fun, a lot of people thought I was panty or princess peach and ofc it was a lil silly when I explained I’m a small character from muse dash,
So couple days ago I woke up and found my (I assumed female and very pregnant) platy with a ulcer or lil mark on it, believing the platy was about to give birth I was concerned on what to do next (didn’t want to drug a hospital tank and risk harming potential fry) anyways I posted all that on the aquarium page, but someone commented and said they believe this is a male and instead has tumors, growth, or some other infection. No Obviously this was alarming to be told my “pregnant female” is actually a dying male. I asked for seconds opinions and only one other person responded saying forget about the gender get this fish help…. The first 3 photos were just taken the 4th photo is Thursday. Ulcer is gone (put in hospital tank and salt dips) now it’s back in the main tank but my question still stands is this a pregnant female or is this a male who is suffering? I just wanna be emotionally prepared-
I have never seen something like this… is she like bursting- I woke up and saw this, it wasn’t on her last night
Tank-mates in this 55g
1 large albino bristlenose (male)
6 corydoras (2 males 4 female)
A lot of cherry shrimp
Handful of mystery snails
4 platys (including this one)(1 male 3 female)
3 mollies (1 male 2 female)
4 guppies (1 male 3 female)
8 tetras (mix of cardinal and neons I’m not sure of genders)
She’s been getting progressively larger within like maybe 2 months? I haven’t seen any pineconing or buoyancy issues. The male platy is smaller and usually doesn’t harass this platy (he prefers the other 2 females who are noticeable more fuller, this platy is not even a year)
I feel incredibly stupid asking this
There is so many roots idek where to start trimming, the better question is this too much plants for them to swim?
55gal tank,
4 platys
8 neon tetras
7 corys
1 common pleco (emergency rehomed into this tank last month, moving to my aunts 75 gal soon)
1 bristlenose
5 guppies
Many cherry shrimp
And 3 mollies
Oh and my mom dumped snails in there- (I’ve been secretly rehoming them)
How can I manage this where can I start with deplanting that giant all over the place roots plant
The second image is from the side of the tank so you can see the density of the roots
The 3rd image is incase anyone can maybe help identify these plants
Is there a specific tool do I just take scissors how much should I be removing?
My first time having Cory's lay eggs, had them for a little over a year now, is this normal? Seems to be eating and active I noticed the dent like 3 days ago, before the eggs she was very big and round for like 3 months(I'm assuming this is the egg layer because she (hopefully is a she) was the biggest one, idk if this changes anything but there was and is at least 300 eggs all over my tank, the glass, leaves, the heater, so many eggs. And yes I’m 99% sure they are Cory eggs the only egg layers I have in my tank are corydoras, pleco, and neon tetras (they are 100% not mystery snail eggs or bladder snail eggs)
So my question is what is this? Due to dropping all the eggs? Or is this something not good and what can I do?
Posting these here before they go on my instagram I’m so proud of how my rin wig turned out I love these photos so much!
