The strangest thing happened the other day, my archer fish was eating and swimming fine but I could not see his pectoral fin. Upon further inspection I saw his fin was stuck under his gill cover! I looked online and someone else had this happen to one of their salt water fish. They caught the...

Haha yeah I remember that happening to me too! I love how they are sort of interactive! It's quite nice finding out they can making all sorts of noises not just the clicking!

Hey! I was just wondering if anyone else has heard funny noises from their loaches apart from the usual clicking? Today I put an earth worm into one of my aquariums as in the past my fish have enjoyed them. As soon as my clown loaches found it they grabbed ahold of it and really shook their...

Grrr well that's annoying! I like the little guy though so will probably keep him!

Hey! This is my first post on here :D My friend is getting rid of his aquarium, he has a lovely looking male Lab and I was wondering if he would be able to get on in my 210 litre aquarium? I know people say not to mix South American Cichlids and African but surely they have been bred for such...
