I added a pair of cribs to my 25 gallon tank last weekend which also includes, a pair of keyholes, 3 red breasted dwarf acaras, 2 cory cat fish, a bristle nose plec and 4 golden barbs. The kribs have layed eggs inside a plant pot and are guarding them well. How long will it be before the eggs...

Guppies are two small to go in the community tank yet, normally stick them in about 4 weeks old, these will eventually be going to our LFS. May try and get another tank set up in the week, if not i have a tank at my house with 6 guppies in, i could give them to my boyfriend to stick in the...

My boyfriend arrived home last night to find one swimming in the community tank and then his dwarf gourami munched it. He then found out which platty it was and stuck her in the birthing net. Mother was having the babies one every 15 minutes and it was getting a bit frustrating as she kept...

My boyfriend and i bought 5 red coral platties for our community tank about 3 months ago. We have three females and two makes. We were hoping to have had some fry by now but nothing any tips?? Do they get dark gravid spots when pregnant or do you just look for them swelling

Im glad your little fella made it! x I was so sad to loose my crabs, they were lots of fun to watch, i want to get another but my partner said whats the point if the others died. :cry:

My partner had a guppy that had fry last week we managed to catch 6 of them and put them in a breeding net, however sadly only 2 have survived. We have 2 other pregnant guppies that are really big and round so, now i'll look out for the squareness to hopefully put them in a breeding net. We...

Yes, i had to red claw crabs that shed there shells but sadly they didnt survive much longer after that, they seemed to stiffen up and eventually died. :(

Your pictures are beautiful, and the plants i thought for a second were real.

I have put ws3 in the tank as treatment already so can i still put salt in and raise the temp or shall i do a water change and then put the salt in and raise the temp??

My partner called me yesterday to go to his house as his guppies had fry. I took the birthing net round and we managed to save 5 of them. While doing this i noticed that his platties were covered in white spot, cant believe he hadnt noticed this! I have immediately put treatment in the tank...

The worst bit is he is the owner of the store, im beginning to have second thoughts about going there again with his attitude.

I bought 2 keyhole cichlids on saturday to go in my tank with my dwarf acaras (aequidens dorsigerus - i think their called), my dutch ram and my gourami. However, the Gourami will not let the Keyholes settle, its continuously chasing them in to the corner or nipping them. I have taken it out...

I took the Goby back on saturday. The guy in the lfs was very rude to me telling me that, gobies do not eat fish and there is no way he would of sold me a fish that would eat my others. I told him that 5 of our guppies had gone missing and he tried to tell me that they probably had something...

it looks like a botia lohachata (pakistani loach) to me, i have one and it looks just like your picture.

Well thats what it said on the tank in the lfs, but i cannot find any info on them. The problem is my partner bought one last weekend for his tank which he had guppies, coral platties and a dwarf gourami in. I wasnt sure the Goby would be suitable for the tank but the assistant in the shop...
