So I have angel fish fry now which are roughly a day or two off free swimming. I have a BBS hatchery ready, etc. I am planning on leaving the fry with the parents this time due to space issues in other tanks (which will be sorted in a month or so). As I usually split the fry from the parents I...

Hi all, I managed to catch my angels spawning just right now. It's usually my luck that i am at work or sleeping when this happens so pretty excited. I will post a video later when I figure out how to, but for now enjoy some photos! By the way, the male wouldn't do his part til I left the room...

Will altum angel fish fry from same parents pair off if I grow them out? I have a breeding pair of manacapuru red backs and I am supplying the young to a few LFS, so no problem rehoming them, but I was wondering if I kept a small group in a 60g grow out would they then eventually pair off...

So I bought an external filter and wish to swap it with an internal filter from my main tank. The thing is I bought the external one second hand off someone who had had it running for about six month. My question is, it was switch off and then just the water emptied for a day and transported and...

Thought I would share a little story with all you fish lovers out there. This made me smile today, the most unexpected of things possible! Sorry it is a long read, if you have time I hope you enjoy! Ok, the story begins about a year ago, I contacted somebody over the web on an aquarist...

So today I lost one of my angel fish breeding pair that I have had lay twice but the fry got eaten. I don't know if it was the male or female I lost as they were both very similar and I never saw them lay. What do you recommend I do from here? Chuck more angels in and try and get it paired off...

Hi all, was wondering if anyone could ID a plant, one of only two which arrived randomly and extra in an order my LFS had placed. They weren't sure what exactly it was or what conditions it would do better in, but I love the look of it so was considering buying, thanks in advance!

Will tannins from mopani driftwood harm fish in any way!?

Can someone please kindly ID a pair of shrimp I was given, I thought Yamatoa but they are yellow bodied rather than black!? I wanted to get a few more to add to their group as they just don't seem right as a pair, also, do shrimp mix well, I have considered getting red cherries and having a mix...

Hi, Ok so I know this is a type of algae formed by rolling along river beds, etc. My question is: I have heard these balls take up nutrients other algae would use and therefore slow algae growth in the tank. If this is true would they also take up nutrients my plant could use or would they...

Can anyone tell me what this is and if it is harmful to my fish!? It is swimming around in my tank!? It shimmied through the water and has three tail like spikes from it's back end!? Sorry for the poor quality finally caught it on cam in poor lit corner!

Hi all. I have recently bought a 65 gallon tank that was used for large oddballs. I managed to trade off these fish with my LFS for plants because I have always wanted to try my hand at a planted tank. The White sand has a layer of laterite under it and I use a sera product as fertiliser once...

Hi all, I have recently changed my juwel rio 240 into a moderately planted tank. My question is, will an aerator, like a bubble wall, affect the plants? I know they prefer minimal water movement but my bubble wall only just breaks the surface and doesn't have any impact really on the water...

Hi all, love this app. Just had to tell someone.... I'm gonna be A DADDY!!! Sorry if post in wrong place!

Hi all, Just thought I would introduce myself here. I stumbled upon this forum whilst looking for information on the possibility of crossbreeding guppy/mollies, which I think I may have done accidentally! The fish I keep are mainly guppys, mollys, endlers and swordtails though I do have a...
