So I've had my corys lay eggs before, however it was not the same species that I have at present. I found these eggs in my tank this afternoon after being out, they were laid in groups, in the ones with few you could see where some were pried off. They were placed all over the tank, plants...

So my SW tank has been set up for over four months now, last month this algae started to appear, it quickly overtook my tank, it grows everywhere and anywhere. I do maintenance on my tank more than once a week, even within a few days it looks horrid again because of this algae, it grows like mad...

So this is my 3rd one, I really do love them! Except this little guy is not shy at all and is out in open view all the time unlike my other 2, the Snowball and Golden Nugget. The shrimp is very good with spot feeding and it's also quite awesome to watch. So this is my Royal Pleco and Bamboo...

So my lemon tetras are breeding quite a lot, so I've put them in their own tank. Some of the eggs are getting fungus so I was wondering if I added a few of my ramshorn snails would they eat the fungused ones and leave the living ones? I have heard of it before but I don't want to add them until...

Well I will soon have an empty 7 gallon as the inhabitant will be upgrading to a bigger tank. I was thinking about shrimp with some adfs but I'm not sure or even one dwarf puffer. I would like to hear any other ideas, I can go fresh or salt but I am mainly going for fresh. :) Thanks in advance...

So I originally had a group of 6 lemon tetras, due to new fish coming in without QT 3 were knocked out in the past year or so. So two days ago I added another 3 lemon tetras and 6 pretty tetras, all was going great they all grouped together. This was until last night one of my original ones, the...

So my dad has always wanted a sw he had fw when he was young but never made it to sw and he's now too busy for it. I'm not allowed another tank.. But my dad says if it's a sw I can get it!! This is great news for me as I was already looking into saltwater :D so the tank I'm planning on ordering...

Okay so I have always wanted a snake for some odd reason. I have had adfs in the past and an eel at the moment but I want a land pet this time. I have seen a lot of the same vivariums for sale it's decent and is around 5 gallons. I know the basics to keeping them as my uncle and cousins keep...

So I've had this guy for a week now, he is fed a cichlid mix, he was in with other malawis and is quite timid. After I got him home (he was still in the bag) his colours brightened up... He must've not liked those malawis! Once in the tank he began showing zebra markings on his side (see picture...

So I have a 48 gallon juwel tank which I have had for 3 years now. This morning it came to my attention that my eel was not in sight, so I tore apart my tank, taking everything out... Then I tore apart the living room in search of him. The dining room door was open all night so I pulled every...

I have recently started going to a camera club that I used to go to years ago. So tonight was my first time using my marco lens, no auto focus so it's a real pain to get my fish in the right place and in focus, but to my surprise out of all of my fish my constantly buzzing with life puffer is my...

So I have a shrimp/prawn with no ID, she's been with me for 2 months and she was young when I got her. She lives alone, her tank has sand as the substrate, driftwood to hide/climb about, java moss in a terracotta pot. Her tank is heated and also has a filter, a few days ago she lost her...

So I have a green spotted puffer in a brackish tank right now but she will eventually be in a SW tank, I am a noob to sw as all my tanks are fw, I was wondering if I could keep anything with my puffer? I've been told that you can't keep anything else with them e.g. live rock or any other...

For months I have told my technicians at my school that they need to rehome the fish that they have.. They keep them in the technician room, in a 7 gallon tank.. At first they had a betta.. It died.. Another betta was bought, it died.. And another bought and died.. That's the same story for most...

So my puffer lies down to sleep and she's always twitchy about it in case a predator comes and munches on her while her guard is down. I tried a few houses that I had.. But none were suitable for the almighty Buttercup, nicknamed Puff, she disliked the size of the entrances, they needed to be...

Okay guys, so I have been looking all over the net for this and I am getting mixed answers but the best place for answers is here, I want a salt gravity between 1.014 - 1.016 for a ten gallon tank. It's for a water change so around 3 gallons will be changed, sorry if this sounds like a stupid...

So I was planning on changing the substrate in my 48 gal and I am stuck between black gravel and sand. :confused: The black gravel looks great and I feel it really makes your fish stand out. Sand looks better on my point of view, it's also better for my corys but it is a real pain to clean. I...

I was going to put this thread in the unhealthy part but it's really focused on the attacker. Lately, my female gbr and my amano shrimp have gone missing.. This morning I found my one of my cory catfish on his side, fins torn and his side was all bloody.. He could hardly breathe so I had to put...

Well it's one of my two dream fish zebra plecos are the other..I WILL get one one day :lol: I got her as an exam treat since my results were good :D She's so adorable, she had been in the shop for a few months but they weren't for sale.. So I went to get a pygmy puffer.. They had none, plus the...

My apple snail came today! She's only 1 cm, after a few minutes she was out and about. I am very pleased with her and I might actually get another apple snail except one the color ivory, I got the the choice between the two and picked the common one, it was a hard choice but I like the yellow...

Well I just seen the add for a 4 inch pleco and that reminded me to ask about mine. He is a 13 inch long common pleco. I have had him for well over two years now, he's a lovely big chap except he is very easily scared. He lives in my 48 gallon and he's getting far too big, I really don't want to...

Hello! I have had a lot of threads lately, sorry about that. But I just could resist posting this one, I am confused.. I got a small female GBR a month or two ago to keep my male company, she's so cute but really odd. If I put a bit of food in unlike any of the other fish I have had she plays...

Well I see them quite a lot in one of the trusted stores I go to but only that one store, I love these guys but I can't get one due to lack of space, but I may consider one for the future.. Anyone know what they are like personality wise etc? Thanks :)

Okay, I have a 'monster' and a smaller little harmless shrimp. The smaller one is berried!! But the 'monster' is about 2x the size (and still growing) but the smaller one is also growing I believe... I thought they were different, but once she had berried she has the other ones pattern.. Could...

I took this today, dw he actually lives in my 48 gallon :) .. Well it made me smile atleast!! This is my betta telephone.. Pardon my terrible joke..
