thanks for the info, as it happens they appear to of eaten them. as for them both been female its certainly possible but I did get to have a look at them while they where spawning.. and one of them was considerably smaller than the other when you"planting" the eggs.. im going to put a piece of...

Hi guys and gals, I just got home to find the the two supposedly male angelfish that I have are doing a real good job of coating a corner of my tank in eggs. assuming that these eggs actually hatch in due course what do I have to do? I have never bred before and this was completly unexpected...

yeah this seems to be pretty much what i was thinking, ill drop a heater in tonight. Thanks

Hi, to cut a long story short I seem to of acquired a couple of shubunkins I am a reasonably experienced fish enthusiast however my other tanks are all tropical not cold water, so I have resurrected a tank out of storage for them bit im a little worried that the ambient temperature in my...

as above the reason I ask is a couple of months ago i setup a small 60 litre planted tank as a little side display in a bedroom with the exception of 10 harlequins and a few bronze corys nothing has been added to the tank since it was setup, this morning I got in from work and turned the light...

I've been browsing the local shops to see what i can get locally and have found some really nice endlers what do you think of them? On your comment about the potential size of the panda corys it isn't to much of a problem as I have 2 other peaceful tanks that are much larger and if they do hit...

Im considering doing the same, on a side note does anyone have any easy ways of getting the gravel out and putting the sand in.. on a well established tank.

I drain water out of my tank using a valve i added to the filter intake hose, it isn't a fx5 but i can't see how it would be much different, I refill using a large bucket and a hand powered water pump i got from a gardening store, it gives a nice flow and allows me to add any treatments to the...

thanks for the advice. The tank is well established and water quality is good I usually do 20% twice a week. I think I'll do an extra one till its healed though. Thanks again

One of my Silver Dollars injured itself recently after it took a fright thanks to a car wreck outside my front room. The injury is a half inch cut down it's side that stopped bleeding quickly then almost immediately turned red in the middle and white round the outer edges. I have dosed the tank...
