Ok thank you. I don't think we would have the space for any babies in the tank. We'll have to keep a close eye on them!

Ah right ok. Is it wise to let them breed or should they be separated?

Hi, Does anyone know if a firemouth and Honduran red point can breed?? We have one if each in our 240l tank and they have made a nest inside one if the ornaments, the firemouth is protecting the area with the Honduran inside.....they are both digging down and seem inseparable? Anyone??

We've had 4 ghost shrimps and each one every few weeks has had loads of eggs underneath but they soon go. I noticed one of mine actually pulling them out themselves. I dont actually think they are fertilised though even though they carry them....I'm sure I read that but I could be wrong

Purple goldfish??? I want to see what they look like!! I can't find any images on google! Just looked up the purple acei........gorgeous!

Ah that's one pretty fish!! I love JD's but I'm too scared to put them in my 240l invade they do live upto their name :-)

Ah ok, the tank must be about 4ft at least. Every Fish shop we have bough fish from have said they will all be fine in our tank. I don't like the thought of it being over crowded. Would never of bought the fish in the first place if we thought the tank would be too small. Let's hope no...

We won't be buying any more of these so I'm afraid he will have to be ok in his own. It does seem fine and settled in our large tank so he must be ok

They died in our smaller tank, we have now upgraded, they were only 3''. The one we have left is still as small as when we got it about 8 months ago, it never grew like the others.

The plec is an albino plec, just looks lime a normal sucker fish, I haven't a clue what sort.

I'm Wrexham north Wales, very much bedtime now! Hope the tank settles for you

Yes it is a Bala shark, well I think, we did have others in our old tank with it but they all died eventually, after going a bit loopy, jumping etc and knocking themselves out and yes we have the red tailed black shark, that's about a year old, about 3 inch long but still skinny ish

Ah so many questions I'll try answer them all. We have had the bismarni's nearly 7 months, they seem to be thriving and stick with the rainbow fish and barbs, I'm not sure what barb they are but are silver with a red dash down the side. The rainbow cichlid was a fish that had been given back our...

Yes 12 hours is too long, maybe do some back to back water changes and from now on 8 hours max for lighting, make sure there is no sun light on your tank too :-) away from windows etc etc. Now that it's there I think it will only get worse until you get it under control. So do 25% water changes...

Well as far as I know bacterial blooms should be left to settle on it's own, with that the water should be cloudy or looking like a glass of milk has been poured in there, but algae bloom is greener water and everything else in the tank turning green, I have never had this one before but maybe...

Could it be an algae bloom/bacterial bloom?

Just wondering how many fish approx we can have in our 240litre tank. At the moment we have 2 firemouth cichlids 2'' and another 2 at 1'' 1 zebra convict 3'' 1 rainbow cichlid 4'' 1 silver shark 1 black shark 2 bosmarni 4 red rainbows 3 barbs 1 kissing fish 1 plec Bit of a mixture but they...

We bought a 6/7 inch green terror about 3 weeks ago. At the time we weren't told it was called a green terror till we googled it. It was only a baby too! We were told it would be ok with our firemouths, convicts, rainbow cichlid in our 240litre tank. Very wrong, extremely aggressive as soon as...

We have neons too, there the same, not a problem :-)

My fighter is fine with our plattys, never been a problem, they never bother each other!

Oh dear! We have had the same problem before, but we have ghost shrimps in ours which gives us an answers to where our fish have gone (but once their dead) in the shrimps stomach! Could it be that they have died and your other fish have pecked at them or nibbled at them till they have...

Wooohoooo I hope soooo! We haven't added anything to the tank just water changes for the last 5 days. I'll keep a very close eye and test it every day for a week or so before I add anymore fish just to be on the safe side :))

Hi, when we bought it they called it a chocolate rainbow but since researching it you are right, it's just a rainbow. When it is at it's brightest he does tend to chase and dance tirades our convict and firemouths so hopefully he us just showing off!

He also does alot of shaking/dancing when he is at his brightest! A dark line appears down his side too! So I'm starting to think he is just trying to show who's boss, here's a picture These aren't at his brightest but see the black line down the side, that gets darker, his eyes glow...

Maybe try your luck, bag it up take it back and say you can't find your receipt. State what you told the shop lady and crossed fingers they will swap it. But push come to shove and they dont, is there anyone else that could take the fish off your hands or even 'give' them back the shop and buy...
