    Mystery shrimp?

    Hey folks, I have a few red cherry shrimp in my community tank and saw this wee guy tonight. I've been watching to see if I can get a better picture but so far this is the best I can get. He seems the same size as my older rcs so I'm a bit confused. Any thoughts on what he is? Hiding behind...

    Mystery bully

    Hi, recently I had a few fish injured so badly they all died. Turns out that a gold mountain minnow was the aggressor and now that he has been 'evicted' to another tank everyone is fine. Don't rule out any of the tank inhabitants! Good luck and I hope you get to the bottom of it. X

    Why do people not like goldfish?

    If I'd known how addictive fish were I'd have got a cat instead lol!

    Why do people not like goldfish?

    I have 2 tanks, 1 for community fish and 1 for my fancy golds. I love them both for different reasons. The community tank is in the livingroom where we chill out at the end of the day and the business of the tank is lovely to watch. At heart I'm a crazy cory cat lady and love to see them...

    Poorly danios :(

    Hi Folks, Last week a gold minnow went on a murderous rampage hurting 4 other minnows and 4 danios. I have 1 minnow left and 3 danios who are all still recovering from the bloody beating they received but 1 of the danios seems really sick now. My LFS thinks it's a bacterial infection which...

    fish ID help...

    Hi, the pic isn't amazingly clear and I'm still new to the hobby but some could be black skirt tetras if you want to Google a picture for comparison. Good luck and happy fish keeping :) Sarah

    Agressive fish killer found out

    HI, I've had fish badly beaten and lost 4 this week and tonight we discovered the juvenile gold minnow is the culprit. Is this even possible? I've lost 3 other minnows and a dannio. Tonight another dannio has been singled out and now has damaged scales as well as freaking out all over the...

    Fish Personalities

    We got 5 danios and called them the Fish Fingers. Sadly we're down to 3 now but can't bring ourselves to change them. When you have a 4 year old the naming becomes a bit more random! We currently have a female platy called Steven. Hey ho! All fish should be named :)

    fish fight!

    Weird one then :( Last night I moved all the decor and some plants around to break up any territorial behaviours and my 4 year old gave a rousing speech about family togetherness so hopefully one of them will have been helpful. I don't know what to do about stocking levels now. The injured...

    fish fight!

    Hi, My 90L community tank has become a rough neighbourhood the past couple of days, can anyone help? I've had 2 bloodied minnow corpses the past 2 days and today a danio is fighting for his life after a severe beating. The problem is bad but it's a tank full of peaceful breeds and they're...

    Picking sand

    Hi, we set up our new 90 L using Westland playsand from Dobbies Garden Centre, a 20kg bag for a fiver. It's nearly impossible to get pool filter sand in Scotland because it's too bloody cold to swim here! We washed the sand for half an hour or so then placed it on top of the plant compost...

    cycling with plants in

    I have two tanks - one planted and one full of plastic neon tat. (I've a 4 year old, don't judge me!) The planted one cycled so much faster than the other! I'm talking 2-3 weeks before the plastic caught up. Now I've had to re-cycle the tanks after a chlorine contamination issue and I'm still...

    Too good to be true?...

    Sometimes people just need stuff moved and quickly! My granddad fell and seriously hurt himself so we had to sell his massive tanks and all equipment to get wheelchair access. They had to be gone by the time he got released from hospital so we practically gave them away. This was before I...
