First up we have the small Bristlenose Plec who I think may be female: Now the larger darker coloured one who looks like a male: My Betta "Dave" HaroldSchultz Cories: That's it for now :tongue:

The blue shouldnt take too long to go away. In my 39 gallon it takes about a day to clear completely. Be aware though, sand, ornaments, airlines, plants etc may now have a blue tinge to them!

Exactly my thought.

They're all pretty peacefull as far as I am aware. I have three different types and they're all good community and friendly fish.

I thought that loaches get to about 12" in an aquarium? If so then they'll hardly be able to turn around in there.

Hi there. I currently have 5 plattys in a community tank. I have 4 females and 1 male. The two female rainbow Plattys were born in my tank as was the male Mickey Mouse Platty. The male is about 2 months younger than the other two and they were born from different mothers :wub: I never...

Good pics. Those Platties sure are fast when you want them to stand still arent they?

I mainly use Aquatics Online although I did order a new filter from another website not long ago but I can't remember what it was called :*)

Hey chish, looks like the little un sure enjoyed herself! Arent you the proud Daddy???

Lovely fish :wub: :rofl: :rofl: space, nice one.

Absolutely amazing :flex:

Unlike you to buy fish without rearching them Wolf -_-

Awwwww hun! No fair! Well when your Dad gets a new chair can you nick his? At least it has a back on it???

heehee I love it, then again, I would do :D

Well, I won and I sent the cheque off the week before last. Not sure if it's cleared yet cos I've not checked my bank balance :dunno: Hopefully I should receive the golden tips this week, I'll scan them in so you can all learn from them :rofl:

Oh yeah, I never thought of that! :unsure:

:lol: thanks Rain. I didnt want one of those shint ceramic ones or the ones that are flouroescent colours. This one seems just right. No, he doesnt seem stressed at all. He mainly stays down one end of the tank :nod:

I have the betta, 2 bristlenose plecs, 5 glolight tetras, 5 golden barbs, 5 corys (Matea, Adolphi and HaroldSchultzi) and 6 Plattys. Oh an 2 Amano Shrimp (how could I forget them :dunno: ) Thanks for all the comments guys!

Pics of the tank I set up a few months back (sorry for the reflections and fuzzyness :/ )

:wub: What a gorgeous pup :*

What a lovely pussy! :wub:

YAY kittens :wub: Congrats Grandma tanks!

*Sunflower os on her way over to steal the barbs, oh, and the tank!* Great pics Paul. Loooooooooooove the barbs :wub:

Hey Mario, isnt it you who's doing the archway tank with jellyfish?

I agree. The beauty of the Eheim Aquaball (I just got one) is that with them being extendable, the pads will all be the same size.

Can you actually see the white spots? I'm not convinced it is ich you're suffering with. If you are cycling with fish, could they just be stressed out by the ammonia spikes etc? Fish flick against ornaments and substrate when something is irritating them and odd swimming is not a symtom of...

Have you been adding ammonia? When I set up my first tank the lfs gave me loads of crap advice, told me just to run the tank for a few weeks, didnt need to add anything (eg: fish or ammonia etc). After 2 weeks they told me my water was perfect and sold me 8 Plattys. Needless to say: 1. The...

I had 8 female plattys as my first fish. 2 of them must have been impregnated at some point because they had fry. Luckily there were only 3 fry in total, probably was more but I wasnt expecting them and only found the fry when they were looking right at me from inside a plant. Anyway, because...

I have some Amano shrimp, they clear my plants and ornaments of algea! My Plattys dont bother with the algae that much.

Just a thought, make sure you research whatever you decide to buy as some cats and plecs can grow quite big and therefore need alot of room.

Well there's no rule saying that you have to have bottom feeders. I mainly got my cories because I wanted variety in my tank and didnt want to overstock the middle and upper levels of the tank too much. I got my bristlenose plecs for the same reason really.

I agree, although I'm guessing you dont have live plants in your tank right?

I live in the UK and have a Clear-Jet filter. Have a look for those, or maybe Fluval? Also Eheim have just brought out their "Aquaball" internal filters which start at a small size and can be "added to" if you ever upgrade your tank to a bigger one.

I agree it has to be water changes til they've all gone.

Congrats. You never know, this could just be the beginning :D

How about explaining it as well as the pic? Might give us more of an idea

No, it wont be an overcrowding issue. Unfortunately live-bearers are renowned for eating their young. It's just nature I'm afraid.

I thought it was the Bull Ring in Birmingham?

The pic of him in the drawer is adorable :wub: I'll nominate whichever pic you like for potm.

Thats what I thought. What will stop the lower tank from overflowing?
