Thanks Wilder...I don't think it's that now...it says theres nothing you can do as the fish are usually too weak by the time its diagnosed. My fish aren't they're quite happy swimming around the tank and battling for food etc. Prehaps it's false ntd Maybe I'll take one of them to my...

Gulp! The lumps in the belly do look like..a bag of spuds. It's not just one lump it looks like their stomach is full of them. Is it worth trying to keep them in a bucket and doing a daily water change or would that be more painful for them? No it doesn't look like Lymphocystis. It looks...

Oh yes, food..I have blood worm, daphnia, brine shrimp. I alternate feeding one of those mixing it with a little Tetra min flake and a little sinking disc for the Cory. They eat all the food within a few minutes. Unrelated...although hopefully shows the tank is healthy..Fathers day (funny...

Had my tank for about 8 weeks. Water is fine...tested continually and taken to the shop for professional testing as well. 60x30x38..underground filter. 20% water change completed weekly. 3 Cory Julli 2 Rainbow guppies 2 dwarf gourami 6 Tetra (was 7) Started by adding four tetra after 2 week...

I have the same size tank as you with fewer fish. 8 Neon Tetras 2 Guppies 3 Cory Julii 2 Gourami (male & Female) My tank would certainly be over crowded if I added another 2 Gourami and 6/8 more guppies. Have you tried this site? It has a vitual tank thing where you can enter tank size...

Yes thanks. I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately no fry survived...but next time I'm hopeful :)

Very much appreciate the advice. Thanks.....and I will do that. :good:

It won't eat grown guppies but my Dwarf Gourami has just munched it's way through the whole of the first batch of fry my first guppy has just dropped...much to my disappointment...so I'd recommend a feww Gourami to keen the numbers even.

Thanks. Wow! Cuts down on the fun for the boy fish :lol: ....but keeps me excited.... At least I know what to look out for now :) I'll keep the lights off and my fingers crossed. What a wonderful hobby :D

I'm keen not to leave the mother in the net longer than I have to. It's been 2hrs now and nothing...the mother is still a little fatter than the dad but no where near as fat as she was this morning. Stomach isn't really pushed out. Do you think it's all over or do you think theres still chance...

Thanks again...I've cut off a few branches of fern type stuff (from a plant in the aquarium) and put it in the net... I can't see any babies and the mothers stomach is a lot lot smaller than before...fingers crossed she's got some more to come and they haven't all been eaten.

Thanks for the quick reply :) Remove her...will do. How long will birthing take? She does seem to have stopped now I've moved her...probably the trauma of being in the net..Something to put in for them to hide behind...I'm being slightly dim here...I don't have any floating plants...should I...

I've had my tank set up about 4 weeks. I got two guppies about 2 weeks ago. Tank 60x30x38cm. Undergravel filter. Heavily planted tank..various real plants. 7 Neon Tetras, 2 Rainbox guppies, paid of Gourami, 3 Cory Julii. I said to the mrs this morning...humm..looks like one of them is...

Great helpful thread as Ive just bought, what the shop told me, were three Julii. How do I tell if they are Trilli or Julii? I honestly don't mind what type I have but I'd like to know what they're called. :) Do any of you have any key hints/tips to ensure my Trilli/Julii are as happy as can be?
