It seems that live bearers do not do well for me no matter which kind. I have also tried mollys and platys with the same results. They all die within weeks. Any guesses as to what the problem might be. I just cant keep these fish alive no matter what I try.

No idea why. Over the last few months I've started noticing there hasn't been one baby that I could find. There are plently of hiding places in there. The tank has been established for about 5 years so there's plenty of microfauna and what not for them to eat. Parameters have all been stable and well within normal limits. Over the past week the adults all died. I don't get it, but my guess would be the lack of an introduction ...

My question concerns my platies. They seem to keep their dorsal fins clamped to their bodies. They stay in quiet corners of the tank, and are not very active. They eat well. I feed a variety of foods, flakes, a fresh mix my son had made for me. The veggies tablet thingies. I'm worried that these guys are missing something. I couldn't find anything in this ...

Well my guppy had 12 babies, but now I can only find one of the dalmatian molly babies. They were too big to be eaten. Should I have not put the guppies in with the mollies? I was really excited to see how the dalmatian mollies were going to look like and now I only have one black one. Should I separate the fish?
