    Help, I rescued plover!

    Most rescues recommend leaving eggs right where they are for at least a week or 2 to make certain is is abandoned. Birds will often not sit on a nest until they are done laying a clutch of eggs which can take 4 or 5 days. Even once they begin sitting they will still leave the nest for...

    My little cross breeds just hatched

    Very true! I only meant to point out that type of sex linking only works if the female was barred, not the other way around.

    My little cross breeds just hatched

    This only works if the female is barred and the male is not. Unless you know for sure the gray chicks mother was a barred rock it and father was not barred I wouldnt rely on that. When they get 5-6 weeks you can start posting pics for gender guesses! It's hard to count on color or pattern to sex...

    Deaf puppy!

    Hand signals are actually easier to teach than verbal cues so you will be fine I think. Never buy from this breeder again.

    Calling all fish owners! Is this Tetra going to lay eggs? Edit: Solved

    Males tend to have more pointed dorsal and anal fins if I'm not mistaken. Females fins should be shorter and more rounded. I would not divide the tank, potentially separate them if or when you get a larger tank. Often times it's just easier to re-home one or both especially since they weren't...

    The different ways that fish breed and rear offspring is really fascinating. Mouth brooding cichlids are a wonder to watch.

    Yes a blue 3 spot and gold 3 spot. If they are both males you will probably have to separate them. They can be kept as single specimens, male and female pairs or in harems with 1 male and a few females. Females tend to be far less aggressive than males. In a 50 gallon you could keep up to 3...

    Fish forums can be good but depends on who is answering your questions really lol. Some people with little experience speak with much authority.

    Haha yes. Good fish information is hard to find. I've been keeping fish for nearly 20 years now and have made all of the mistakes lol. Umm tropical fish hobbiest magazine is pretty reliable and they have a lot of online articles to sort through.

    Yes 3 spot gouramis change color/pattern a little bit throughout the day. They come in blue and gold and slight variations of those. Maybe you have a blue and gold 3 spot.

    Gouramis are not live bearers. They are actually bubble nesters like Bettas.

    Do you know what kind of gouramis? Or if you take a pic I can ID them. Gourami's tend to get quite aggressive and territorial when they reach sexual maturity.

    Calling all fish owners! Is this Tetra going to lay eggs? Edit: Solved

    I personally breed (and I used this term extremely loosely bc I do nothing other than select the males and females and they do everything on their own) scarlet endless live-bearers and green lantern platies. I particularly love the little endlers and seeing their color develop. My oldest male...
