thanks ill read the post when I get back to my house later, and try and keep an eye on them and see if I can determine a difference.

thanks for the info, as it happens they appear to of eaten them. as for them both been female its certainly possible but I did get to have a look at them while they where spawning.. and one of them was considerably smaller than the other when you"planting" the eggs.. im going to put a piece of...

Hi guys and gals, I just got home to find the the two supposedly male angelfish that I have are doing a real good job of coating a corner of my tank in eggs. assuming that these eggs actually hatch in due course what do I have to do? I have never bred before and this was completly unexpected...

yeah this seems to be pretty much what i was thinking, ill drop a heater in tonight. Thanks

Hi, to cut a long story short I seem to of acquired a couple of shubunkins I am a reasonably experienced fish enthusiast however my other tanks are all tropical not cold water, so I have resurrected a tank out of storage for them bit im a little worried that the ambient temperature in my...

as above the reason I ask is a couple of months ago i setup a small 60 litre planted tank as a little side display in a bedroom with the exception of 10 harlequins and a few bronze corys nothing has been added to the tank since it was setup, this morning I got in from work and turned the light...

I've been browsing the local shops to see what i can get locally and have found some really nice endlers what do you think of them? On your comment about the potential size of the panda corys it isn't to much of a problem as I have 2 other peaceful tanks that are much larger and if they do hit...

Thanks emerald that sounds like a really nice setup... and yeah samzer to be honest i wasn't sure which ones they where but after looking them up they seem cool.

I Have just started a new 15G planted tank to go in my study, its only small as its the first planted one I have attempted and fits in my study nicely :-) my current plan it to put a Betta in it as a center piece, Does anyone have any suggestions for anything else that could go in that will get...

Im no where near an expert but I had a heat resistant ich problem with a clown loach a while ago, after messing around trying to get rid of it I finally managed it using Esha 2000 medication which got rid of it in three days and didn't affect my plec or filtration

Im considering doing the same, on a side note does anyone have any easy ways of getting the gravel out and putting the sand in.. on a well established tank.

I drain water out of my tank using a valve i added to the filter intake hose, it isn't a fx5 but i can't see how it would be much different, I refill using a large bucket and a hand powered water pump i got from a gardening store, it gives a nice flow and allows me to add any treatments to the...

thanks for the advice. The tank is well established and water quality is good I usually do 20% twice a week. I think I'll do an extra one till its healed though. Thanks again

One of my Silver Dollars injured itself recently after it took a fright thanks to a car wreck outside my front room. The injury is a half inch cut down it's side that stopped bleeding quickly then almost immediately turned red in the middle and white round the outer edges. I have dosed the tank...

thanks for the reply im going to go and get a couple more tomorrow while in off work so i can keep an eye on them. hopefully they will all get on with each other fingers crossed.

It happens in my 240 every now and again (probably less than annually i reckon it had to do with seasons and where my tank is), just like CJonline says i get rid off it by scraping the glass then cleaning the substrate. I've only used a phosphate remover once in about 5 years and that was...

ok had a look in my LFS today and he has some really nice silver dollars, they are a lot smaller than mine though, just to make sure has anyone ever had problems with different ages/sizes mixing together? mine are just over 4inch nose to tail, the new ones are barely over 1 if that.

I think i will add another 2 or 3, like you say they are a shoaling fish I didn't realise that when I got these 2. They do swim around a fair bit but i doubt they would be upset at a bit of company

LOL wouldn't be the first time I've done that :-) and I hadn't thought of adding anymore dollars but they are nice fish ill have a good think about that one.

I think that you might of misread something there the tank is 240L im not sure but thought that was a little over 60 galon?

yeah that sounds like a good idea any opinion on cardinal tetras?

yeah i know what you mean the new one i have my eye on is 450L I think that's about 115 not sure. either way i was amazed that the "expert" at the pet store sold him 3 clowns knowing he only had a basic 80 litre tank

Yeah I should of mentioned im aware of the problem with the loaches they are small at the moment only between 3 and 4 inches I adopted them of a guy that bought them for his daughter because she thought they looked like nemo and i reckoned my 240L was better than his 80L, either way there is a...

Hi folks, I have a standard 240L tank, it is established and currently has 10 zebra danios 3 clown loaches 2 silver dollars and a plec. The water chemistry is good 0ppm for ammonia and nitrite and roughly 10ppm nitrate its only got one large plant attached to a chunk of bogwood and 3 cave...
