Hi WendyDell, Well thank you sooo much ! What a cool welcome. You are right to note that I'm out of my debth on this but learning fast. The 50g tank was hastily drained, moved and reinstated over a few hours. It was a nightmare but we saved the water and the few fish that came with it -...

Job done - peace restored. Thanks for the advice ! One very sad looking mammy though :(

Hi zooking, Just to let you know all your advice has paid off. The fry are all doing nicely and a quick visit to the pet shop and my Widow Tetra has 6 new buddies to hang out with. Thanks for all your help.

Hello everybody this is my first submission as I'm not only a newbie to the forum but also to all things Aqua ! I have "inherited" 2 tanks a 50 Gallon which is up and running a few months and a 60 Gallon I have just filled. I have a breeding pair of "Fire Mouth" cichlids in the 50 Gallon tank...
