Must you seriously pick a fight in every single thread? I'm leaving it here, I'm not going any further this time.

I would have thought, if juvenile, would look closer to this: http://www.aqua-fish.net/imgs/fish0/redtail-shark-4.jpg And not have that really quite prominent lateral line that FF's have.

Just splitting hairs there to be honest.

I love it! Do they do mail order? Is it aggressive as the RTBS? How's he settling in? What other hybrids do they do? Any clue on fertility?

It's a swordtail. http://www.aquariumfish.net/images_01/sword_showa_male_100712a5_w0480.jpg Closest I could find to yours, notice the same body shape?

Aqua, you intrigue me, simply by the way you communicate. Would I be correct in saying English isn't your first language? Also, Carlove, I believe that's a PK yes, but possibly a King Betta.

Glad to hear he's better. I was going to say, in that last pic, it almost resembles a tad of dropsy. Scales all puffed and what not.

Haha, no worries, I didn't take it as so. I hope they get back to you with a decent explanation. Imagine if Chops ate one of those bristles, I can't imagine his stomach would deal with it well.

d) All of the above.

Well then... that's me told.

Well guppies aren't usually fussed, my hybrids (guppy/endler) have 1000lph filter on their 64L tank and they love to swim in the stream. Or you could just concentrate on keeping pretty guppies?

I think personally, if there not the fish I wanted, I wouldn't bother buying them. Go with what fish you want, buy some corys for the other groups and if they don't have tri's, ask if they can order them in for you.

Ah yes, that one. I bet that cost you a small fortune? £200 about right? In terms of stocking, try to go for more of the top/middle dwellers and bottom feeders will go crazy in there with only 20-24 square inches to go around in. Perhaps some lovely looking endlers? or even microrasboras...

Most likely not in the traditional sense. They would be glad for the company, but probably wouldn't actually shoal with them in the same way they would with their own species.

It's not something I've ever heard of, although to be honest, I've never bought bloodworm pellets. Perhaps contact the suppliers and see if you get differing answers?

Which Biube size do we have?

Hi there, I recently bought the 1000LPH version for my 64L tank and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The bioballs are just plastic, whether or not certain bacteria are attracted to them is another matter, but #33### do they take up a lot of space, I could just barely manage to fit...

Usually, I'd expect at least 6 weeks. I don't normally understand that process though. If your tank is fully stocked, all water levels are fine and then you put another filter in there, why would the bacteria grow on the new filter? Surely, since they only grow when food (ammonia) is present in...

It is, of course, entirely up to you OP. I personally wouldn't risk it, as although Bettas do get an unjustly biased community fish rating, I had to drive 30 minutes last night in the snow to rescue my fiancés pygmy corys from her betta. When I got there, he was literally snapping at them...

Possibly, it could also be the plants you buy aren't suited to your needs. Generally try to go with deep green plants as these are the hardiest and need the least light, meaning they will grow quicker with more. Floating plants are also good to have as they block out light for algae. Duckweed...

There we are, there's your problem. All your light is going directly to your algae as you have no live plants. Best thing to do is make sure your lights are only on when looking at the tank, otherwise there's no need and you'll just keep getting algae. Put it this way, even with Live plants...

Hi there, Firstly, bettas shouldn't be kept with guppies (in an ideal world) due to most of the time, the betta thinks the guppies are another male. I've seen this happen myself and it's not pretty. Do they need poor aeration? I'm slightly set back by this question. Bettas prefer to have little...

and how long are the lights on for a day, please, this is the most important question, answer it this time.

Semi-true, they can have a dominant male etc, but it's generally just watch them and see any bullies. Normally it's just everyone's the same. You can tell if they're pregnant as they swell up like a balloon and then babies come out. Chances are if you've got a male and a female, she's already...

Late blooming swordtail, this topic has been covered many times before and just recently, 2 days ago.

Ok, I'll directly ask the questions then. How long are your lights on for per a day? Do you have any live plants? What fish do you have? How old is your tank? When changing the water, do you use a gravel siphon? Do you have gravel or sand? Is the gravel deep or shallow?

Woops, my bad, went to vote and ended up posting. There you go, all done.

Long light time. Waste between the gravel. Over stocked tank. Lack of water changes. No live plants. Take your pick, we do need more information though.

For me, it's macmasteri. Reason being is the tail shape, I always thought Viejita had rounder tails as opposed to the pointed ones yours have. Of course, I'm not a dwarf specialist, hopefully someone who is will come along.

Hi there, You seem to have the right idea in stocking fish that need to have large groups, so kudo's on that. You could add the fish all in one go, but the problem you'll have is that currently you have no idea how much bacteria you have in there. All you know is that you have 5ppm worth, which...

Cherry shrimp might be your best bet, but due to their size they will most likely become fish food. Perhaps Amano shrimp might take your fancy in that case. It's not fish friendly shrimp you're after, it's shrimp friendly fish you need lol. In terms of shoalers, the smaller the better, neons...

Crayfish and Crabs are best in species tanks only. Some people will disagree, but at the end of the day, they are BEST in species tanks. And a Merry Christmas to you to! :D

Not really, not unless you have ALL long finned fish.

Are there filters in these bowls?

Haha, my bad, forgot we were talking about platies when I wrote that.

No, you missed the point. Not infections, but genetic deformities that could create an entire deformed generation.

The problem we have in this instance is with livebearers, which as we all know, are one of the quickest and most productively bred fish. Breeding from a deformed fish could have unknown consequences, we don't know if the young will be deformed themselves, have other health issues or be perfectly...

0 ammonia 0 NitrIte 0-20 NitrAte ph 6.5 - 7.5 Hard Water The usual, babies are surprisingly tough, but just don't give them toxic water.

Thank #33### someone else noticed. I thought I was going mad!

Say whaaa?
