    baby platy

    Found one baby platy swimming around today :-) came as quite a surprise as thought we only had males! Can anyone tell me how many I should be expecting and how long it will take to complete the birth? As neither of the platys look pregnant to me. Will try to get pictures

    water tests

    Just done our weekly water test and the nitrate level is 0 should I be concerned? Amonia and nitrite levels are still good. This is the first change in water quality for 2 months.

    Was told when we returned them that they prefer soft water and ours is on the harder side so thought it best not to get anymore. The blue rams are lovely but the other half prefered the colour of the golden rams

    center piece fish ideas

    center piece fish ideas

    That was my only real concern. Was going to go for a young angel so it grow up with the guppies and didnt pester them to much but thought they would eat the neons. Might look into moving them into our other tank if we cant decide what rams to get as they look nice
