No on pine cone.... However he is having a harder time getting upright this morning...what is strange he was on Medigold antibacteria food when this...

Frank, I hope you don't, either. Usually when a fish gets to that stage, there is very little that can be done to save them. Valerie ... From: frank To:...

Hi Group. In my 30 gallon tank, I have two fancy goldfish and two dalmantion mollies. I've had the goldfish for about a month and a half and the mollies for...
Hi Frank, It could be a stress thing. He may not fade after he has been with you for a few weeks and has settled into the tank. Unfortunately, many black and...
Hi Sadie, You can sex mollies by looking at their anal fins. In the female it will be a wedge shaped and in the male it is rod shaped. If it is a female she...
