Ich In the 10gal

Endlers are really cool little fish. Beth google them they are very much like guppies but I think they are prettier.

How do you know if it's an endler or guppy/endler hybrid? I've got something in my tank that looks a lot like an endler that I bought from a guppy tank. Do the stores generally keep endlers, guppies or guppy/endler hybrids seperate? I hope that's not a really dumb question. I had no idea that guppies are so difficult.

If this whole crew dies I might just say to heck with it and start over with pea puffers.

Beth
Have you thought about endlers? They are a lot more hardy and do very well in our water.

Guppies for Aquariums by Neale Monks

[Beth777]

Crizz got his original ones from a high end dealer. Maybe that's why we're having such better luck with those, even though one of my girls now seems to have the ich on her back. [sigh] The ones that I have from Crizz and 2 from Ultimate Fish...are definitely much stronger than the ones from T&T.

IMO> you don't need to go to all the trouble. keep them fresh that is what all the ones you got from Crizz were in fresh. the ones from the lfs. are all dead. If you really want to keep guppies go to Houston Aquatics they have the best high end guppies at a great price.

I'm looking at comments from Neale Monks, who also taught me how to do bracksih with my GSP when I first got him. Vety interesting.

When I turn the moon lights on I can see what looks to be a hazy saddle across one of my little girls back. No doubt this is ich. My black tailed boy had that same saddle but much larger. I'm also seeing some flashing today.

[Beth777]

Crizz, you won't have that pond snail infestation any more.

[Beth777]

I'm really tempted to take cutie pie and frogs out and put in a little sea salt and see what happens. I've still got ocean salt from when I had the F8 puffer. The salt being real old shouldn't matter should it? I'm searching for articles as this really interests me and I want my guppies to live.

And don't freak Crizz, IF we need to go brackish it is so easy. It just sounds scary when you've never done it before.

[Beth777]

Geeze, the ones I got from Extreme and are in QT right now are gorgeous. I'd hate to lose them too! I know how to do brackish.

[Beth777]

So what do you think? Should I slowly acclimate to brackish? Obviously I'd have to move Cutie Pie Plec, frogs, nerite would be ok.

Beth, I am truly sorry to hear about your loss. This is something I learned about guppies last night. The Asian Breeders Do breed in Salt water. When they ship them here they go from salt to fresh. They look real good for some time and then start to have prob. from the fresh water. this maybe the case.

[Beth777]

Crizz, how many have you lost?

[JCrizz]

I noticed that the water from t&t water was kind of brownish, but I didn't think anything of it until most of the fish were already dead.
