Could anyone tell me how often to feed Endlers. I'm fine on what they need and like but I've never found whether it's Flakes in the morning and live at night or live every second day. I have a Aqua-one Pro tank that holds 150L ( 35imp.or 42us gal) . In this tank I have 6 Male, 25 Female and...

Gee you make people feel welcome !.I am new to this forum and I'm sorry if you think it was inappropriate but I thought this was the area to ask questions and get support. I was wrong obviously. Wether the information was one day or one year old should not matter, it is still providing...

Hi Guys, Thanks for your reply's . I did land up treating the whole tank and she seems to be improving. I used a muli purpose remedy that contained Acriflavine and Malachite and it has done the trick. Maddie :D

HELP My Molly has developed a cone shaped thing over her eye . The eye itself is frosted in color but the cone is clear and covers the whole eye. It does not seem to be bothering her and is happily swimming and eating ok. None of the other fish have it, but I have seperated her incase it is...

my dwarf gouramies and I have sucessfully had babies - about 200 by the looks of it and I'm finding it impossible to keep the tank clean. I tried syphoning through a stocking but was worried it would kill them and that did not solve the problem of all the dirt on the bottom of the tank. I have...

I have just had my first batch of dwarf gouramies (at least my fish have) and I have seperated the parents now the fry are free swimming. My problem is that to clean the tank is almost impossible since they are so small and keep getting cought up in the syphon. I did try to strain them through a...

Today I discovered heaps of Angle eggs on an ornament in my community tank. I seperated mum dad and eggs straight away into their own tank (2'x1'x18") removed the gravel and now i'm not sure what comes next. How long does it take for them to hatch and do I remove the parents when the fry...

Frank & Torrean had some great advice - I will also take notice of it. Thanks guys How big is your tank that you are having snail problem with?

I had the same problem and was advised to get some clown loaches. It worked they eat any they can fit in their mouth. They will go for all the tiny ones and work their way up in size. You may still have to pick out the large ones until they are all culled and any new plants you introduce will...

My little dwarfs are doing the mating ritual :o and once all the twisting and turning has finished they go to their seperate corners to recover. I have a lot of plants both floating and secure and he is hiding in it all the time. He is very protective of his area and keeps any on the other...

Hi Sharon, I too am only new to this forum and it has been fantastic help. I started off with one 3 foot tank and I also did some pretty stupid things in the beginning I think we all have at one time or another. I now have eight tanks and I'm hooked (no pun intended) .It started when I got up...

Hi Wolf, Thanks for clearing that up - I have them sorted out now and I have one male and 3 female. Should he have any more girls or is that enough for him to handle ? And if the girls are pregnant can you see a darker gravit point like in the Livebearers?

Help ! I have been given four of these little guys (tiger barbs )and I don't know how to tell them apart. I've read up on the conditions and care they like but I'm stumped how to tell if they are male or female - and they are not giving anything away either. I have put them in their own tank...
