It's about half the size of a pencil lead tip. It should be gray too. It looks like the grey molly.

Then the grey molly looks brown here too.

If any of you care about my babies. They are all three happily sitting on the bottom of their fish bowl wiggling their tails. I thought they were mosquitos at first. I didn't think the mollies were big enough to have babies. They're only an inch long.

My three babies are all in a corner looking at each other. Aside from them looking like mosquitos they are so cute.

Poor Lemmy died. The other two mollies are so sad. So I went and got another one. They seem happier now. I think he had a fungus infection. Some of the others have signs of that too so I treated them for it. Including the new fish. Only one of the babies is actually swimming. The other two are sitting on the bottom with their tail fins clamped. That's a symptom of fungus too. They're getting bigger though so they must be eating.

I got another lemon molly. It looks all stressed out so it's probably sick with the fungus too. It's darting around the tank and looking crazy. It's getting the fungus treatment though so maybe it'll be ok.

I got some baby food and some seaweed for my three little baby grey mollies from the fish store. They now are all three scooting along the bottom of their tray chewing on the seaweed and the baby food grains. They said that's it's normal though for them to stay on the bottom. That the one that's swimming around is rather odd.

I wish had pictures of my crayfish that I used to have.

The first one I had for about two years, one time when he shed his shell he turned blue haha. I don't know if that's normal for crayfish or not, he's the only blue one I've ever seen.

I also had red bellied newts, but they weren't interesting. Besides when the one died and I picked it up by the tail to get rid of it, and the entire outer layer of skin on the tail came off. I was left holding the skin and the body fell back into the tank

My snake shed his skin the other day. He's all shiny and new looking now. He'd been acting rather weird lately but he's slithering around his cage like before.

See under Lemmies' eye? There is that cotton looking patch? That's that fungus I think. It got up in her mouth and then it went away like she was getting better. Then she got it bad and she died.


My platinum fish has some of that under her chin, just a little of it.



She looks real good today though.
My grey one's doing better as well. She is in the upper left behind the plant snuggled up to the heater.


Maybe the grey one too just a touch, I can't really see.



Here in this picture you can see it. It isn't so bad now though, mostly gone.



My new Lemmy's a male though. You can tell he's a male because he has clasper fins. You can see them in this picture. He flips them forward sometimes. The grey one bites him on the side or one of his fins when he goes near her. I think she was the one had the babies. She does look kind of pregnant in the picture up two.

I circled the white spots with a pen.



Below is Lemmys' clasper fins circled. He has them folded straight back. He waves them around to turn or stop sometimes. They are real long and fan out wide.

Does anyone have a tarantula? I kind of want one but I'm not sure I'd be able to love it. They just freak me out a bit. Do you reckon they have a personality?

I'd reckon it would have a rather nasty disposition.

creepyer

if you want, you can bring them into a fish store (not pet stop, but a real fish store), and they can dx and show you what treatment you need if any. if it isnt better after treating for general fungus, they might be able to look and tell you what you need to treat a specific fungus.

also, doing water changes can help tremendously. knock on wood, but i havent had to do this stuff yet. im so scared of getting an infection in my tank. good luck!

The fungus treatment seems to have worked. There is no white patches on the fish anymore. The little that there was yesterday is gone. The grey one is rubbing her chin on things so maybe she is a little sore from it but otherwise.

I was doing the tests for the ammonia and the color wasn't quite right but it wasn't turning yellow. So I keep changing the water, added chemicals. Finally I dumped the tank and cleaned it. Still it came up green. The florescent light makes the yellow look green. So I was at safe instead of stress levels for ammonia. If I look at it in sunlight it was zero. I was going to get new tests.

I have two bearded dragons, and am planning to buy more reptiles. They are so much fun to watch.
