Don't mix it with Tetra it will terrorise them. I had a rainbow the more timid version and I had to tetras away

Cool thanks. I think it's just me worrying ha. I will put some pictures on here when he gets bigger [emoji16]

I should blood worms about once a week no more than twice

Hikari algae wafers. I always used them. Lots of driftwood. I don't once a week of blood worms. He is growing and the last time I saw his poo it was green ha.

The Mollies was probably ill before you got it home. It happens to everyone. If I was you I would use a local independent store, most people, on the forum call LFS, as they tend to look after the fish better. But sometimes fish just die when you get them home. I have not had the greatest...

Careful they will eat your small fish or shrimps. They are really cool! Great find [emoji16]

Trust me I did too! I had 2 Bristlenose Plecos, 4 Gourami and 2 Weather loaches in a small tank had great filtration till I had power cut then disease got ammonia spiked and I lost my tank. The hardest lesson to learn no problems with water till then. That's why I pledged never to over stock my...
