I wouldn't worry. Mine went through a phase of swimming like a madman for an hour or so at a time.... Since then he stopped and I didn't see him for about 6 months (I presumed whatever was wrong had killed him) but then just the other day he popped his head out of the gravel. I guess it's just...

They're pretty :-) Is this your first time keeping them? If so, don't worry when one goes missing. I assumed mine was dead about 6 months ago (no joke) but then yesterday he popped his head out of the gravel and then disappeared again..... They love to bury themselves!

Oh that's such a shame :-(

Hi My endlers are going wild with their breeding habits in my 29G community tank. I want to keep the numbers down with a predator (seems humane to me) Any suggestions?

Hello Ok, strange as it is:- there must have been a piece of fluff or something like a thread on the surface of the water in the endler fry nursery because one of them has a thread (fluff?) coming out of its backside and it's mouth?! Like its eaten half of it and the rest is hanging out (both...

Also!!! Came home and found this... Is it a gourami bubble nest? What do I do? How do I know if there are eggs?! As the picture shows it could clearly do with a clean but am unsure if I can because of the nest?!

Hello! So attached are the pictures of my endler babies (few days old?!) I only have 1 tank which is community, do until they get a bit bigger they're living in a breeder trap.... Problem is, they're too small and go through the holes in the bottom! Lol keep having to net them back in...

Oh excellent! I don't suppose there is anyway to hazard a guess as to how far gone? Also, what is the general consensus on breeding boxes (they're in a community tank)

Hi all Ok so I'm new to the livebearer scene, so wondered of anyone could take a look at my endler's and see if they're about due please? Thank you! Sorry I know the pictures aren't great!

I have kuhli loaches and confirm that they do NOT eat snails or even have an impact on their eggs (thereby doing nothing to control them) I do however have dwarf chain loaches and within about a week of getting them my snail population went from about 60 to approximately 10 :-) Sadly they also...

I have no idea which breed they are but they've done a fantastic job (aside from the poor shrimp!) and they're really cute to watch.... When you see them, they spend alot of time hiding too which in my opinion makes them fun too??

Well usually I can see at least one, but for the last week I haven't seen any :-( I bought food from the LFS for him but at the moment there are still snails (although dramatically less) and yes, he was introduced to 2 we friends yesterday and the 3 of them (bizarrely) seem to club with the...

Hello :-) So, a few weeks ago, I bought a dwarf loach because I was overrun with snails.... The LFS said they were a good option because I didn't want to get anything that was going to get too big? Anyway he has done an amazing job, and 3 weeks later I have very few snails left.... However, my...

Hmmmm. It might be a bot shallow yes, but the plants haven't had any problems in the months that they've been in there :-)

Not that I've noticed, he seems very laid back with everyone! :-)

Really pretty though! Mine has just maintained his striped 'leopard' coat!!

Hi all Thought it might be fun to start a diary of my 29g riverbed tank. Over the last month there have been some casualties to the tank (mystery disease which took the lives of about 10 fish) but at the moment the ecosystem seems to have stabled so here seems as good a point to start as any...

I would suggest it's male and therefore highly unlikely to be pregnant ;-)

I know, this is only their fourth attempt so in all honesty I don't hold much hope! Also, they're in a community tank (not enough room to set up another) and there are a hungry pair of Otocinclus' in there which never seem to sleep, so in the night they tend to become dinner! The parents are...

I really love when they're in breeding condition... Their colours are so much more vivid!

Lol done!!

Hi all, Had to show off my rams being the dutiful parents over yesterday's batch of eggs :-) they've never been successful in hatching any, so here's hoping this time!!!!

Suggestions folks?

Hey Ok so about a month ago, I bought a small shoal of 4 Normans Lampeye. To cut a long story short, this week they have been dying one by one, almost on a daily basis. There is only 1 remaining now, but I don't hold much hope for him?! None of them showed any symptoms, aside from, well...

Hi all This evening one of the female guppies has taken to hiding in the plants in the corner of my community tank. Not had much experience, especially with guppies and I wonder if she is ok or if this is normal behaviour? She is usually very active?!
