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...

I recently bought 2 dwarf puffers and had the same problem, the lfs also told me to feed them flake but they wouldnt eat it. i tried everything and the only thing they would eat was live blood worm. I was feeding them everyday as if i left it a day i would come home to find all my other...

:cry: Yesterday one of my Checkered Cichlids died, it was fine one minute and the next i see it lying on the bottom with my pleco sucking it to pieces! im all sad

Thanks Dino, They are about an inch big already is that still to small to tell?

I have three young ones in my tank i bought a month a go, does anyone have any info or pictures on the differences between male and females as i would like to try and get them to breed.

I have three Port Acaras, 2 male and one female, they are fine with the other members of the tank but the two males have the odd fight with one another. They are interesting to watch, i can sit at the tank for over an hour watching them. I have had one death since getting them, my brown ghost...

I read up or them and the guy in the store said they only grow up to about 2.5inches at the most, their dwarf cichlids and that they are boisturous but not viscious. The only time they do show a bit of agression is when they are breeding. maybe i got the wrong name for them but i know there...

Yes, i have three small port acaras, they seem fine in the tank and i was assured that they will be ok with the fish i have in my tank, the only trouble i have had was with the brown ghost knife fish.

My brown ghost knife fish died the other day i believe he got chewed up by my port acaras, im not to impressed as the guy i bought them from said they would be fine together. However since then my male crab is running around the tank more than he ever was, the females still a bit off with her...

Thanks very much i will try that. They are still alive at the moment, there is a tiny bit more movement from them.

Both crabs have now stopped moving but are still alive, i spoke to the petshop again and he said something may of stunned them, but i dont think that is the case. The female is on her back and the male the right way up. I dropped some pelets in front of the male crab last night and he managed to...
