They're all still alive and kicking, and I can't see any of them with the gap in their shells, so looking good! Thanks all :)

I hope you're right - we would very much like at least one to be female. The yellow appears like anactual gap between the parts of her shell, which seems different from images of the 'saddle' we've seen elsewhere. Not seen any other RCS images like the shrimp we've got. Most moulting threads on...

Hi Mabj, thanks for the reply. We've been keeping the tank pretty level by weekly using the Tetra 6-in-1 kits to ensure we're on top of anything. I don't have any exact figures as they were within the tolerances and didn't think to keep them. Can't do a test at the moment as we've run out and...

How about having geek fish, and naming them after some elements? You could have Neon, Rubidium, Argon and Radon :)

Yep, our plattys are always coming over when you get near the tank, and gently nip at you when you need to put your hand in. Ours like a mix of tank algae, flake food, algae wafers and tubifex. Occasionally they'll get some shrimp-paste stuff, but they do pretty well without this regularly...

Extra vote for a clown pleco, though ours is quite shy. Always hiding, rarely get to see him. He's a flighty plec - or we call him 'Flec' for short. It does mean when we do see him, its an event!

We have two glass shrimp in our 30l biorb, they do quite a nice job of cleaning up excessive algae. And they're cute to watch, if you can find them hiding around the tank. By putting the filter media in cut-up pairs of tights, it means a lot of the muck generated doesn't get clogged in the...

Hi all, We have had three cherry shrimp for about five months now, and recently one started to look a bit, well, odd. It stopped moving around a lot, and developed a white stripe across its back. We got a bit concerned, tried to look it up on the web, but no luck. It died the next day - we...

Thanks for the advice guys, I find researching information on fish keeping almost impossible due to the wide range of recommendations. Please take this in the manner I mean it - its hard to get a clear answer when everyone has their own way of keeping fish and different experiences. For...

Thanks for your reply. After considerable analysis in what I've been doing, I think I may have overdosed the meds through stupid miscalculations, and poisoned the water so some of the poor fellas got too stressed out. I don't understand how all looked well until yesterday, which is why I was...

Well, i've taken out some of the plants and carefully ferreted around, and found one dead fish around the marbles at the base... ...with no real visible reasons for death. The pleco is nowhere to be seen, but I think I've found some of his skeleton. The third harlequin has vanished...

Hi All, Long time lurker, first time poster, and I'm a bit of a worried fish. My 6-month running biorb tank has recently had a bit of white spot / ich, and I have been treating it. It has just seemed to clear up after about 7-8 days, but suddenly some of the previously unaffected fish are...

Hi all, Found some useful advice on here and thought a good idea to join. :) We have been gifted a 30l Biorb tank in the past year and have a nice selection of seemingly happy fish. We currently have 10, which should be comfortable. These are 3x White Cloud Mountain Minnows 3x Harlequin...
