Ok - thankyou - it's a tough one because I've done a few google searches but not found any real answer. All I know is that this was caused by injury as I saw the male attack her he was pretty vicious! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Never tried that? How much salt and can I use normal sea salt? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

trying to get a good picture of it but she's still quite an active girl! I have about 10 of her fry in another tank so she has really suffered to give her lovely eggs to Mr Grumpy who beat her senseless afterwards!! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

she has been attacked after laying eggs in her male partners bubble nest, I have put her into my guppy fry tank - water is perfect but I added melafix for 5 days then the last 2 days added a broad spectrum tablet that treats bacterial infections but she is eating and swimming about ok, but...

Quick update! I successfully moved the bubble nest into a very warm shallow tank - no filter, and cultured infusoria to feed, they are doing well and I can now see them without a microscope lol! But the next day my grumpy gourami built ANOTHER nest!!! and ... We have a second nest of fry in the...

Hi! I'm new to fish keeping (well this year anyway!) I originally bought a 90litre tank for my 8 year old son as a little hobby for him... Now ive totally taken over and have 4 tanks! I have attempted to breed some black Moscow guppies recently and have lots of fry but also had some bad luck too...

I thought I had two male gourami only because they have never shown any signs of breeding before, but I was very surprised to discover one of them has built up a bubble nest (I had to google that to find out what he was doing!) he has ripped up a moss ball! He has always had a red line around...
