Greetings Fish Lovers :) So I have upgraded to a 75gallon and am looking at getting some Hillstream Loaches from Aqua Huna. However, they have different kinds and was wondering other than colour pattern is there any difference ... Hillstream Loach / Sewellia lineolata Hillstream Loach /...

I bought 6 medaka rice fish online about a month ago, 3 were DOA, the other 3 were fine. I think I have two males, one female. They have been breeding for about 1-2 weeks and the female spawning every day. They are in a 40 gallon with red blue eyed neon rainbow fish, cory cat fish, khuli's...

Hi Colin, The picture is somewhat deceiving as the water isn't clear at all, although I do understand what you are saying in that it isn't dark and brackish - as mentioned I put the light on full LED for the sake of the picture. The sand is brown it isn't white and the part that is gravel is...

Tank as it is now - you can't see floating plants from this angle and it's not that bright at moment I just turned light up for the picture I'll continue to monitor and keep you updated , ?

Good point on the albino, I was more meaning the loss of colour though. I have floating plants - hornwort, there are also java plant flouting around and I have a blue backing on the tank - the picture of the tank was when I first set it up - I have re-arranged it slightly now, but it is a lot...

most of the shrimp are active and out and about its just when I go to move the breeding mop thing there is generally one hanging about in there. I have a couple of berried females at the moment which is cool seeing them, one was berried a month or so ago, which makes me think that is the one...

Royal just came up to the front of the tank for a photo shoot lol

Red Neon Blue Eye babies I found two tiny red neon blue eyes hanging out the other day, so I caught them (finally they are quick little things) and put them in a breeder - so excited. I don't have much look finding eggs in the mops, but I just leave them to it and as and when I see any babies...

sigh - I thought it might be when I got it out of the tank and into a jug - well that is probably the only air bubble to receive a lot of care and concern lol.

I have had them about 6 weeks. There is a picture of the other one in the post, it is on the slate dark brown/light brown. It's the 3rd picture, but also on the 1st and 2nd picture the colour on the head was the colour all down. I do have nitrates in the tap water, I have a lot of plants, I...

Update Do it looks like it is a molt but is it an egg or part of the molt? Thoughts please ?

So I have two beautiful Royal Farlowella Cat fish who are both very outgoing, active, non-stop munching away on the tank, the plants, the decor and the food - I feed algae wafer, shrimp pellets and cat fish pellets - I also feed baby brine shrimp. I noticed a few days ago on of my Royals had...

Just found this egg whilst trying to squish the gazillion groups of snail eggs. Is this fungus on it - it kind of looks like its been caught up with an Amano shrimp molt, but then does look a bit fluffy. I am presuming it is cory egg, although can't see anymore, I have taken it out and its in...

It didn't look like reproducing and there are empty shells - and the other ones are a lot smaller - clearly I have a snail that is a bit of a sexual predator then hahaha

Little buggers they are all over the place. I can't kill them - I can dispose of the eggs as they haven't hatched, but when they look like snails, slithering around, I just can't lol. HOWEVER, let me ask you this - so - there are quite a lot of them as I say - and yesterday there was one (in...
