My baby guppies are huge! The biggest one is a female. She was the only one that I caught that day. She has a phantom gravid spot. Phew! Good thing it's fake! In about 2 weeks I will be able to put her back into the main tank. My female guppy gave birth the night I was not home. I wasn't able to save any :( boo hoo! But that's okay! I have plenty already! Before I got my guppies, I think they were inbred. Because most of my guppies are deformed. Oh well I'll bring some new blood in!

Dropsy o.O
Dropsy is a disease that fish can get. There is no cure to dropsy. It's kind of like cancer. But not all the time you die with cancer. Dropsy has a high percentage that your fish will die. My guppy had it and she died.
Symptons: bloating, scales sticks out so the fish looks like a pinecone, eyes pop out, bulging stomach and sides,
Dropsy is not a disease it's more of a symptom. For all intensive purposes we will call it one. It's really an internal bacterial infection usually caused by poor water quality.
Treatments: Dropsy is not very contagious; however, Fish usually die from this, but in some cases where the problem is due to bacteria, if detected early enough, it can be treated.
It's possibly the hardest internal bacterial infection to cure. There are a number of medications available such as penicillin, tetracycline and naladixic acid. The fish usually doesn't make it. By the time the scales begin to raise, however, it is very fatal to the fish. Salt baths can help to draw the fluid out of the fish. A variety of medications can be purchased that treat dropsy, which sometimes occurs due to an internal bacterial problem. Medications for external bacterial problems only will not be effective for this problem.
If your fish does have dropsy, make sure you isolate that fish. Dropsy is not considered contagious. But just in case, you should isolate it.

Here's a pic....
What do you wanna see a pic of? An Angelfish! These fish are gorgeous and great in most tanks! This is my Angelfish and soon I hope you'll get one too!
*they need a big tank to swim around in if they are with small annoying fish like mollies, tetras, glo fish, ect....
They eat tropical food.
Angelfish are NOT cichlids! But they do come from the same south waters as South American Cichlids.
Angelfish do get very big.
My Angelfish is in a 30 gallon tank with a few other tropical fish. A total of 12 ffish in a 30 gallon tank.
If you LOVE this fish like me and you have a suitable home for it, go get one!
Oooh ya sorry about the picture, it's not straight. :(
