in my 95 litre tank among other fish I have 4 cardinal tetras and 3 neon tetras, they all school together and are happy. today I saw one neon chasing another one, the one chasing is slim and has a straight blue line and the one being chased was much rounder with a bent blue line (probably the...

hey I have a 95 litre tank with various fish in it, including 3 platies. a big grey mickey mouse female, a young ( maybe 6 months old but not fully grown) hi-fin female and a sunset mickey mouse male. anyway I look in the tank and see the young female at the bottom of the tank dead. this is even...

I have a 95L with angels, gouramis, neons, platies, clown loaches, cories and a red tailed shark. I know a little squished in there but some fish are being moved to another tank. I need a smallish fish that doesn't need to be in huge groups that will clean the algae off my plants and ornaments.

I have two flying fox fish, planning to get more, I've had them for about 4 months and they are nice fish, not too active though. Anyway I got them at the same time and they were the same size, they were pretty much identical actually, as the started to grow they changed though. One is now big...

meet my high-fin orange platy, Tamsin. She is in a tank with angels, neons, gouramis, corydoras, clown loaches and other platies. I have been extremely unfortunate with fry, they all seem to get eaten. I have a breeder net and plastic breeder thing, but I didn't have her in there when she...

so in the past I have been very unfortunate with platy babies. I have an orange female ,very pregnant, and a new blue/grey female, also very pregnant. My male is always chasing them so its hard to get a good picture. My orange female has been pregnant for about 5 weeks, which is worrying me as I...

I had a sunburst male platy, who bloated up and his scales pine coned out. he died last night. I'm not sure what caused the bloat, we recently changed from flakes to granule's but I think it might be from over-feeding. I tried to give him the pea thing but they floated to the bottom of the...

I have two female platies and recently I have noticed that they are rounder than normal and both have a small gravid spot. it is easier to see on my plain orange female as you can see her insides in the right light. I can see some fry developing in her stomach. The other female I have had longer...

I currently have one bronze cory, who is nice but always seems lonely and will sit at the bottom doing nothing. I have been interneting and found out that they should be in groups of 6 or more. I don't really want to get 6, so would a group of 3 bronze corys be enough? also in another tank I...

I have two lovely little fish who clean the tank. I got them yesterday but completely forgot what breed they are. they are white with black marking, I vaguely know the name. i'm sorry for the bad picture they move VERY fast and never stay still.:lol:

I have 4 neons and 3 cardinals who school together, anyway one of the neons is grey and the red is barely, her blue stripe is very light. she is also not swimming around as happily as normal, she is floating about. she is still eating though. Also the other neons go a dark blue and float...

I know dwarf gourami lay about 800 eggs, how many fry survive and how quickly do they grow? I don't really want 800 babies!:blink:

hi, I've got 4 neon tetras and 1 cardinal tetra, mix up with breeds but they school together so not too bothered. i'm thinking about breeding the neons, I think I have 1 male and 3 females. one of the females has lost her colour, still got her blue line but the red is faded, i'm hopeing it isn't...

I have two flying foxes in my tank, they never fight or show aggression but today I saw them rubbing sides, they would see each other and rub against the other one, not in an aggressive way though. it looked a lot like they were mating, but I've read that they don't breed in tanks. they are...

I have a pregnant female high fin platy, she has a gravid spot and was round, I think its her first birth. she was doing nicely, hadn't squared off, but was staying on the ground more and getting rounder. I tried putting her in the breeder net at night in case she had them, she was starting to...

I have 4 platies, and wanted to know what sort of platy they are. One is orange with a black tail and black speckles on her back end. the next is plain orange high fin (is there a name for plain orange colouring) the next one is yellow with black fins and tail and a red back. the last...

hi, I recently bought a female high fin platy to boost the number of females to males. where I got her from they had males in with the females, she is quite round and has a dark mark by her tail (gravid spot?) she hasn't squared off yet but I was wondering if she is pregnant. she is certainly...

hey everyone, I recently bought two angel fish (I think they are gold angels) anyway they are lovely and are a delicate edition to the tank. I was wondering whether they were male or female, I don't particularly want to breed them. The first is silver and has brown marks up its dorsal fin, the...

I recently went on holiday for a week, leaving two holiday feeding blocks in my tank. it said it fed 20 fish from 8 to 10 days so I thought they would be alright. I get back and the feeding blocks have clearly dissolved revealing pellets, which they were meant to do, but my fish weren't looking...

if I have 2 male platies and 3 females, would the females give birth at around the same time? I don't think I could handle that much fry for my first time. also I have a breeding tank for the fry, but I don't know if it would get all the fry in there. this is my females first pregnancy so I know...

hey I have two male platies and one female, the males are chasing her a bit but not hounding her and there are plenty of places she can hide from them. I have read online that the reason you are meant to have a ratio of 1 male to 2 females is because the male will constantly harass her if there...

hey I have a orange-tailed shark who is a real trouble maker. when we got him he was slim and relatively small but now he is about the size of a thumb from knuckle to nail and as wide. when I had just him, some guppies, neon tetras and some platies, he chased the neons. we recently bought two...

my orange-tailed shark appears healthy and is certainly growing but has developed a white tip on his dorsal and anal fin. he didn't have it originally and I was just wondering if it is something to be concerned about.

I have a 95litre tank with 13 fish getting more. I had two platys but the female one passed away due to high nitrate that has now been sorted out. the remaining one was lonely so I bought a mickey mouse platy and a normal platy. after getting them home and researching them I discovered the...

hey, I have a 95 litre tank with 13 fish in, getting more. Anyway, I originally had two dwarf gourami but one passed away :nono:! The remaining one became lonely so I bought a powder blue dwarf gourami, it is blue with orange rims on tail and fins, when I put it in, at first they were interested...
