Apologies for the quality of pictures, they move so fast to capture properly with an iPhone.

You are absolutely right my friend. They are indeed Trigonostigma Somphongsi. I'm really enjoying keeping these fish at the moment so much so that I'm breeding them.

They are between 2-3cm. Not penguin tetra

I currently have 11 of these in my tank. They are fascinating fish to watch and even more so when they are spawning.

My dad has just got himself a new fish tank. It's a Juwel Lido 120 (31 US Gallons) It measures, L - 61cm, W - 41cm, H - 58cm. He's asked for my help with regards to stocking it but I don't know where to start. Can anybody help me out please? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

A quick update for you having taken everyone's advice, I've added an venturi air diffuser to my juwel internal filter which is creating more surface agitation and also firing tiny bubbles into the water. Fish seem a lot happier and acting normal. My water parameters are Ph - 7.5 Ammonia - 0ppm...

The Ph levels in my tank have dropped for some reason. I got home from work this morning and a few of the fish were swimming at the surface. I did a large water change which seemed to sort things out. I got up this afternoon and checked on the fish and they were doing the same. I checked the...

I have been running a parasite treatment for nearly 2 weeks and all is good with my current fish. I will do extra maintenance on the tank today, substrate vac and big water change. I'll let the tank settle down for a couple of hours then go and get myself a Mr GBR. Thanks for the advice. Sent...

Yeah it's healthy, all my other fish are healthy, water parameters are normal too. It's quite heavily planted so plenty places to hide. Ill give it a go and see what happens. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My male GBR died this morning after only 6 months of having him. I think it was from an internal parasite as he had a sunken belly. My female is fit and healthy and now on her own. Would it be ok if I introduce a new male to the tank? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I've just got home from work and all the fish and shrimp seem fine which is a big relief. I will check the heater, the temperature does seem to fluctuate too much in my opinion. At the moment it reads 25.7 degrees celsius, last night I'm sure it was reading 26. something. Is it possible that...

My partner got me out of bed yesterday afternoon after I'd done a night shift to tell me something is wrong with the fish. I raced downstairs to find that most of them were swimming at the surface, a couple of amano shrimps were lying upside down at the bottom of my tank! I was thinking what the...

This is my first planted tank. It's been up and running for 14 months. This is a fantastic hobby to have, I'm learning everyday and loving every minute of it ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi, sorry to jump in but I've had no luck with my GBR raising there fry. I've had a young pair since December last year and they have laid eggs 7 times but as soon as she lays them the male starts eating them. It's really frustrating. Any tips or advice would be most welcome. Sent from my...

Last Thursday I went to an independent aquatics shop in Neston, Wirral, UK called Waterworld where I have got all my fish from. They are usually spot on for getting fish from, tanks always looked crystal clear and healthy. So when I walked in there I was horrified to see the state some of the...

It's a really essential bit of kit the API Master Test Kit and if you want your fish and shrimp to be healthy and happy then you should really get one. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
