I have heard that these hybrids can happen but I wonder if it has actually been proven or if people are just assuming that it must have been what happened. I ask this as i bought new guppies and mollies today and my male lyre tail guppy would rather chase after my orange female balloon molly...

Got my self some new guppies and ottos the other day and the ottos are doing a great job of getting rid of the algae. Also got a new trio of guppies (1M:2F) which puts me up to 3F in total. The male is a red tuxedo. One of my females has a tail fin which sits at an angle, not rounded like...

Which looks better? aquarium with bubbles or without?

Last night i saw my assassin snail for the first time in about 2 months and i noticed that his shell is slightly green looking. When i had a closer look it actually looks like it is algae growing on it. Wondering if anyone else has ever seen this on their snails. Also does anyone know what my...

Went to feed my fish last night with their frozen food and as i put the food in i felt the temperature of the water and it felt much warmer than usual. Looked at my thermometer and it was reading 35 degrees celcius :S and whats worse was that my heater was still on, i think the thermostat may...

I have just returned from my LFS but funnily enough what i wasn't meaning to come back with what i did come back with. I know have a trio of Ram Chiclids, one German Blue and the other 2 are the Gold variety. Once they have settled in i shall attempt to take pics of them ^_^

Ive been looking around for a decent filter at a good price to replace the internal Fluval 2plus i have running in my aquarium which is around 100 litres, can anyone tell me which is the best to get at a good price. I have been looking at this one here but i dont know if it is good or not *...

Hey guys, i bought this female fish a few months ago as a swordtail but have been having doubts about it ever since as my male sword would rather chase the other female and never bothers about this one, could she be a molly or is my male sword just picky?

So the other day i bought a trio of golden wonder panchax and put them in my community with my smaller fish, guppies, swordtails etc and i didn't quite realise quite how nasty they can be at times, im keeping an eye on things and they seem to be calming down.

Visited my LFS today as both my tanks were looking kind of empty. For my 55g i picked up a large group of Tiger Barbs (10) and for my 30g a pair of Apistogramma which i think may be borellii sp. but im not too sure, once they have settled in i will add some pics :)

I have been looking at several floating plants for both my aquariums but i just wanted to see if there is one that is better than that others in terms of growth rate and how well it will cope with constantly being eaten by the fish. Many thanks, Craig

I bought 5 peppered corydoras catfish today and they all looked in good health when i bought them but now they all seem to be having trouble staying at the bottom of the aquarium, i checked all my parameters and they are all fine and as they should be. Could this be something to do with their...

I was recently thinking of purchasing a few tiger barbs, around 7 or 8 but i was wondering if they would get on with angels and gouramis, even with a group of 8 is this still a bad idea? Thanks :)

I was just wondering how difficult this would be to do with a tank that is already set up with fish in it, would i need to take all the fish out while i was putting the new sand in or would it be ok for the fish to be in there?

Long story short i went to spend the night at a friends house and came back today to find half a dozen dead fish so naturally i tested the water quality and it was exactly as it always has been. I have also just noticed my male sailfin molly has something weird happening with one of his side...

Hey folks, currently i am doing a project on the Ich disease in fish and i was wondering if anybody has any really good photographs that i would be able to use for my presentation. If you can help me out then could you please send me a private message to get my email address, Thanks =)

Right now in my 29g tank i have 20 or so kribensis fry who will soon be going to a fish store and i was thinking of turning the tank into a small fish community. So far i was thinking of Fancy Guppy (x3), zebra danio (x5) and possibly black phantom tetra (x5) but i don't really have many ideas...

Hi all, was just wondering if anybody that has or had a bristlenose plec, has it ever been slightly agressive when it comes to feeding time as i have heard they are meant to be peaceful, i spoke to one of the guys at the fish store and described the colour and markings to him and he reckons it...

I am planning to adopt a spotted raphael from my uncle which was formally my grans as he does not have the size of tank to keep it, i was just wondering if anybody has much experience with them?

I have caught my plecostomus the past three nights coming to the surface of the tank to feed when the other fish are eating, i was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, ive also got pics i could put up if anyone wants to see, lol

Please move this thread if its in the wrong place :). I was just wondering if anybody has had problems keeping otto catfish and bristlenoses with kribensis fry, the fry in question are only a few days old in a tank on their own (no parents). Anybody with experience on this or something similar i...

I am currently trying to breed my pearl gouramis who are in their own seperate tank with no other fishies to disturb them. They are being fed on a mix of frozen bloodworms, frozen brineshrimp and flake food. The depth of the water is 5" which is what other sites said is the correct depth for...

I have just set up a 20 gallon tank and i am getting ready to breed my 2 pearl gouramis. I was wondering what people think to have as clean up fish in the tank, you know to eat the uneaten food from the fry. I was maybe thinking a few Oto cats and maybe a few cherry shrimp but i would love to...

Everywhere I have read about java fern it says that it is a really hardy plant and will grow in almost any conditions but mines seems to be thinning out and dying, anybody know why/had this problem and managed to fix it? I have recently started using TetraPlant PlantaMin, hoping that this will...

I bought these 2 angels about 3 months ago and was told that they were silver angels, i'm not entirley sure since the black stripes they have seem to be faded in some places and patchy in others. It would be great to know what they are even if they are not silvers.
