Didn't see the female part, half asleep!! Yes, I would say get another tank for the fry alone aswell or a larger tank. I have my platy fry in a tank downstairs, and my 7 platys in my 120ltr community upstairs. Good luck convincing mum haha, I bought the tank online and she couldn't say no once...

40L would be OK but I would recommend getting 2 platy so it doesn't get lonely :D Laura x

I would get more that 2 or 3 personally, I have 6 so far in my 120 but will be upping them to 10 in the next week :D Sounds like you have a nice assortment, thought cichlids would eat smaller fish?? Laura x

PM'd you :D Thank you Laura x

They're adorable, congratulations on your fry!! Laura x

Thanks guys :) Will do, they are so fun to watch interacting and burying themselves. Ordered more plants and a few caves so will be re-scaping in the next week or 2 aswell, will post pictures afterwards :D Laura x

I was just wondering how many corys I could have in a 120ltr tank?? Its 3 foot long and 14 inches deep so that would be the footprint. How many could I have living happily?? I bought 4 albino cory at one of my lfs about 9 days ago and bought 2 pepper corys at another lfs which is closer to home...

How much for 15 posted?? I would love some :D Laura x

Only fish I eat is fish fingers :lol: so cod, not a fan of anything else. Tried prawns and would eat them but not by choice.

I used a mix of melafix and pimafix to treat fin rot and it stopped it after about 8 days. Don't use much though as it is a very strong medication!! Laura x

Just done a 50% water change in the main tank and won't feed tonight. Thanks guys, will keep an eye on her but shes not looking good :-( Laura x

:no: No dark spots, how do I treat dropsy?? I have taken her out of the tank and into a quarantine xxx

I have just noticed that one of my female platys is looking either furry or that her scales are sticking out?!! :unsure: She is also looking very fat, thought she was pregnant but not too sure now!! All my water tests came back normal, any ideas what this could be?? Thanks x

I will for sure :D Laura x

Thank you :D I will go ahead and order, can't wait to get everything set up and planted with my fish :) Laura x

I also love the look of male guppies but wouldn't risk it. I have a gorgeous male betta (trey) and wouldn't want anything to happen to him. Bettas won't eat regular flake food, I had to get special food for him called atisons beta pro :rolleyes: Laura x

They're awesome!! How did you cut out the hole?? I understand people use a small saw for cutting them open and making openings but how would you just make a hole?? Really like that one :fish:

I have read of people using superglue to attatch moss to wood or ornaments. Is this safe?? I want to order some cichlid caves for my fishies and have them blend into the plants so was thinking of glueing moss onto them??? Any input would be very much appreciated before I order :) Laura x

These are beautiful fish but think they would be too big for my community tank :no: Laura x

Thank you, I appreciate your advice :D I just rang the lfs and they have 2 dwarf gourami left, so I reserved them. The guy THINKS they are female but they are still small so he can't be 100% sure. They are getting another delivery in a week which is when I am hoping to pick them up so will ask...

Ok thank you, will start cycling a smaller tank too then. Is gender a big issue with DG?? I have read that the male tends to 'attack' the female if you have them in a m/f group. Don't think I have enough space for a trio?? Without the betta and minnows. I will have 6 platy and possibly 4 cory...

I am planning on getting 2 dwarf gourami once my tank is fully cycled, but wanted to check they were compatible with bettas?? I have a gorgeous betta splenden and don't want them to fight. Info on the internet advises against AND that its fine so thought I'd ask here? I can put him in a separate...

When I was younger I dreamt that I fell off a cliff in another world and fell out of my top bunk bed WITH SIDES?! Is that the same thing?? I think its quite an acomplishment :rofl: Laura x

I bought black sand for mine, and am just waiting for the background to arrive before I can get my new tank all set up. I ordered a Juwel 3D background in black for mine, love the look against the bright colours of the fish :wub: Laura x

Bit of a mix, and theres a few :P 1. Beaches 2. Finding Nemo 3. Harry potter 4. The Unborn 5. World Trade Center 6. Bambi 7. Well basically anything disney 8. Twlight series (didn't like it before though) 9. Saw 10. Final Destination 11. Titanic (has to go in there) 12. Poison Ivy 2 13. The...

Charmed (sci/fi) Buffy (sci/fi) Nip/Tuck (comedy I think) Big Bang Theory (comedy) Friends (comedy) House (drame/comedy) Torchwood (sci/fi POSSIBLY) Silent Witness (crime) Waking the Dead (crime) CSI (crime) Numb3rs (crime) I like alot of different shows :D

Not sure about shrimp, but I used to put a whole cube in but it sat around for hours after the initial 'attack' so now I add between quarter and half a cube and it goes down well. No expert though Laura x

Will forget the angels then :rolleyes: Sounds like they would be the biggest problem. My new tank is 120L :D

Got tank ordered, background and sand. They should be here in a few days when I will be starting a fishless cycle. BUT I just wanted to check whether these fish would go together first, before I know whether I have to order special from the lfs. Gourami, corydora, angels, platy and neons...

How do you sex them?? I have 4 white cloud mountain minnows and didn't know there was a way to sex them?? I started out with more than 4 but after 2 got stuck in fake plants and died, I will NEVER use fake plants again!! Mine eat bloodworm fine and love it!! Never had a problem.

Thanks :D PM'd you and sent payment Laura x

820L with discus, angels, platys (love em) and a bunch of tetras differing species. Black sand, 3D back, heavily planted. Moonlighting through parts. Definately not enough space right now though, and tank is kept in my bedroom upstairs!! Floor won't hold much I don't think. Got a 120L coming...

Can I have the air pump please?? Do I need to PM?? You accept paypal? :D Laura x

Thank you :) The tank height is 45cm, so 17-18 inches!! There were some gorgeous baby angels at the lfs, wasn't sure I could put them in with my platies?? Awesome if I can, they are beautiful fish!! Laura x

Good luck :) I have mine separated in another tank, theres around 60-70 now, possibly more. Not even tried counting them :o When I have my new tank established, new babies will probably be left inside that tank. Its going to be very heavily planted!! Congrats on the newbies :)

I am planning a new tank, got background and sand ordered. Just saving a bit more for the tank itself. Getting a 120L. Hoping to get a few more fish to go with my 6 platy, 1 betta and 4 minnows. Any ideas of fish that will go well with these?? I will be using my 60L as my platy fry tank once...

Thank you for the welcome :) Will take some pics of my tanks and upload them to the thread :) Really enjoying this forum so far!! Laura x

Hey, nice to meet you!! I'm new too, the bigger tank thing gets bad!! I started with a 19L, then upgraded to a 30L and now have a 60L. All in 2 months xD Now got my eye on a 120L (biggest that will fit on my stand) xxx

Hey, welcome. I'm new too. Loving the forum!!
