Thanks for the reply, if it was bloat shouldn't I have noticed any behavioural changes? Haven't seen anything unusual yet but I will keep an eye on her.

Hi basically I have a shoal of 4 Venezuela Cory cats and one of them who I'm guessing is female is very large under her belly. She has been this way for the last week and have yet to see her release any eggs, does anyone know if its normal for corys to hold onto the eggs for a while? I done a...

Sorry to hear this, I had a male molly do this totally out of the blue. In the process of putting him into my QT tank he jumped right out of the jug I was using to transport, luckily he landed in the tank but I'm sure that didnt help with stress though it was the same water from main tank...

Where are you? I'm in the uk. This is my first attempt at raising egg layer fry as it was always live bearers before. If I am successful and the gourami get the males coloration I will definitely be attempting to breed them again. The guy I got him from basically begged me to take him to breed...

Well due to it being unexpected because there was fry the first night I got the pair I lost quite a lot of eggs in the filter so I think around 10 at the moment. A good number to start with and will try breed the two again after I have raised this first lot. It's exciting and I have no idea how...

This is the male! Pic doesn't do him justice, when he is in the mood he is bright red with a lovely bright yellow top fin and then the black stripe! Hoping his colour has passed to at least one fry!

One of my honey gourami fry! Love how they are developing their wee feelers (anyone know what you officially call them?)

Cories having a munch! Love my wee guys!

Wow thanks for the breakdown, it does see, great value and means I'd have plenty to use in my 125 litre tank as well. Thanks for the great advice and will look into this on my next payday :)

Does look good but I'm in uk so seems quite expensive to get it delivered here. $12 becomes $26 which is about £18 or something, would you say it's worth $26 for what you get?

Well I'm hoping my RCS start breeding as they look amazing against the black and green. Looking at putting in a mustard gas betta I have ordered in which will hopefully add a lovely yellow to the tank. So hopefully have lots of red on the bottom and a beautiful yellow half moon tail to swim...

That website is not working for me but thanks for the advice!

Thanks, will look at those! What would be the most cost effective way to add nutrients? I have dirt under my sand and was considering a cheap CO2 system later down the line.

Do you know any red plants that are easy to grow?
