Greetings Fish Lovers :) So I have upgraded to a 75gallon and am looking at getting some Hillstream Loaches from Aqua Huna. However, they have different kinds and was wondering other than colour pattern is there any difference ... Hillstream Loach / Sewellia lineolata Hillstream Loach /...

I bought 6 medaka rice fish online about a month ago, 3 were DOA, the other 3 were fine. I think I have two males, one female. They have been breeding for about 1-2 weeks and the female spawning every day. They are in a 40 gallon with red blue eyed neon rainbow fish, cory cat fish, khuli's...

Hi Colin, The picture is somewhat deceiving as the water isn't clear at all, although I do understand what you are saying in that it isn't dark and brackish - as mentioned I put the light on full LED for the sake of the picture. The sand is brown it isn't white and the part that is gravel is...

Tank as it is now - you can't see floating plants from this angle and it's not that bright at moment I just turned light up for the picture I'll continue to monitor and keep you updated , ?

Good point on the albino, I was more meaning the loss of colour though. I have floating plants - hornwort, there are also java plant flouting around and I have a blue backing on the tank - the picture of the tank was when I first set it up - I have re-arranged it slightly now, but it is a lot...

most of the shrimp are active and out and about its just when I go to move the breeding mop thing there is generally one hanging about in there. I have a couple of berried females at the moment which is cool seeing them, one was berried a month or so ago, which makes me think that is the one...

Royal just came up to the front of the tank for a photo shoot lol

Red Neon Blue Eye babies I found two tiny red neon blue eyes hanging out the other day, so I caught them (finally they are quick little things) and put them in a breeder - so excited. I don't have much look finding eggs in the mops, but I just leave them to it and as and when I see any babies...

sigh - I thought it might be when I got it out of the tank and into a jug - well that is probably the only air bubble to receive a lot of care and concern lol.

I have had them about 6 weeks. There is a picture of the other one in the post, it is on the slate dark brown/light brown. It's the 3rd picture, but also on the 1st and 2nd picture the colour on the head was the colour all down. I do have nitrates in the tap water, I have a lot of plants, I...

Update Do it looks like it is a molt but is it an egg or part of the molt? Thoughts please ?

So I have two beautiful Royal Farlowella Cat fish who are both very outgoing, active, non-stop munching away on the tank, the plants, the decor and the food - I feed algae wafer, shrimp pellets and cat fish pellets - I also feed baby brine shrimp. I noticed a few days ago on of my Royals had...

Just found this egg whilst trying to squish the gazillion groups of snail eggs. Is this fungus on it - it kind of looks like its been caught up with an Amano shrimp molt, but then does look a bit fluffy. I am presuming it is cory egg, although can't see anymore, I have taken it out and its in...

It didn't look like reproducing and there are empty shells - and the other ones are a lot smaller - clearly I have a snail that is a bit of a sexual predator then hahaha

Little buggers they are all over the place. I can't kill them - I can dispose of the eggs as they haven't hatched, but when they look like snails, slithering around, I just can't lol. HOWEVER, let me ask you this - so - there are quite a lot of them as I say - and yesterday there was one (in...

These are the egg sacks!

I got rid of them all yesterday - it seemed like most had gone and there was lots of tiny snails - but they was basically blobs of jelly with lots of individual eggs inside. After doing lots of google image search I am confident that they were snails - I hate killing anything, but whilst they...

Thank you for confirming, I just wanted to be sure. I am not big on euthanizing out of inconvenience - and there is so much confliction on the most humane way to euthanize - I know crushing would be the quickest, I think disposing of the eggs would be easier - do you know the best way to go...

Hi Peartree, Are they just the standard yellows that you have, or the golden-backs, I have seen those on a few different sites when searching around, they are more expensive so presume they are the higher band - which isn't a big issue for me, if they breed they breed, I won't be selling or...

This is awesome information and I am SO excited to know that the Tiger Shrimp can live with the Neo's and not breed, I am definitely going to be getting some of those, and now I can get yellow and reds too - thank you so much for that info... just have to find some money now lol.. always the...

Hi Colin, Happy New Year.... can I pick your brains :) So, the eggs I was collecting were in very small clutches on the subwassatang, I presumed that since that was where the red neon's were doing their little shuffling in that they would be their eggs and moved them to an over-hang fry box...

Thank you for that I am glad they are most likely going to be the higher grade, rather than not. The 20 gallon is up and running and has been for several months, with a few snails and Kuhli loaches - not decided on what fish yet - although I have some red neon blue eyed rainbow fish that are...

hi there, Thanks for that detailed response. I have some blue dream shrimp and amano in a 40 gallon community that are doing great, but I also have a 20 gallon and a 10 gallon I am thinking of adding shrimp too. I am definitely going to get some red's but not decided on either the yellow or...

Greetings all, Quick question in regards to Neo Shrimp Colours - I see that the cherry and the blues have different "quality" in their type, yet the yellows and oranges just seem to have that - yellow or orange. Are the yellow and orange going to be the lower quality and most likely lose...

thank you so much for your response. I have a big piece of driftwood and there are lots of hiding places, that all the fish enjoy checking out and hanging out in. There is algae and it was a 2 month cycled tank before I bought fish, they are also getting a variety of wafers, both algae and meat...
