Thanks-he/she's only just coloured up properly!   Lol I deal with pennies, 15p do you? 

Hi I have been reading up for a while on rams and I got my first gold one about 2 weeks ago. Because of his colour I assumed he is male. I saw some in the tank with the pink abdomen which I presumed were female. Now I am not too sure since the spiky bit on his dorsal fin is short. He is only...

Can I be a pain and use this pic instead please :p  

These fry have been a nightmare because I haven't planned on breeding - they just keep doing it! This time I will be prepared! The small tank from b&m, a little sand so I can see the babies and that's it! Here's to batch number 3! I already have 5 from the very first time they spawned 3 weeks...

I am on all those pages and the equipment is very cheap, I am looking for a bare tank and have been looking there first but b&m do a small one for £12.99 - comes with everything but I have the filter from my cracked tank which I will be putting into it anyway. Perfect for the cory fry!  ...

I have seen this before too, he is awesome! I like the small fish in there, I can't stand when they put big fish in big tanks giving them as much space to swim as a goldfish in a biorb...

Are you on facebook? Have a look at groups like everything aquatic, kdy tropicals and jr tropicals. they are all local pages and have so many tanks and equipment for sale for cheap. They are based everywhere, edinburgh, glenrothes, falkirk, fife.    This is the one I ordered, 1200L/h £20...

When I came back home today, I noticed the ram with this white thing in it's mouth, I instantly thought it was a fungal infection-until I saw the eggs on the glass. There were so many. I have removed them now and will getting the small tank from b&ms on friday to put the fry into since they all...

Almost! Scientific name is anostomus anostomus! I will let you have it since i'm in my bed! They look so innocent too!

I am going to bed so I will check in the morning who is right :p

Yay! I love spag bol  I will enter tomorrow as I am off to bed now!

Oh I haven't been leith way for AGES! The last time I went to ocean terminal was about 10 years ago, I wouldn't even remember how to get there. There is maidenhead aquatics too I think it's in glasgow it's very highly rated. There is also A2B aquatics in kinglassie, fife which is where I get my...

  Yeah you do get attached pretty quick. Nobody said it was easy ;) the achievement is from working hard. Too hard and things go wrong, when that happens take a step back and look at the whole problem. Then you get multi tank syndrome when one tank just isn't enough! I had to get it sorted, my...

I don't know about in edinburgh but outside it, on the way to bonnyrigg, there's dobbies garden world. It's amazing, they had stunning platinum arrowanas in! That's the only one I know as I go in on the way to my parents. 

yes! lol    Both names please :)  

Asian red tailed catfish -  hemibagrus wyckioides 

Originally from just outside edinburgh but now in central scotland!

Yes it would be obvious but no it's not? :p

The obvious answer would be red tailed catfish - phractocephalus hemioliopterus but it's grey lol

Yes! I love the markings! Your go!

Hi welcome to the forum! We need more scottish members!

Lovely! Here's mine, both names pretty please. 

Crystal eyed catfish - hemibagrus wyckii

The rams doing great, the cories are swimming about the middle, the bronze female is gone pink so she must be ready to lay eggs! So excited!

  I have heard a lot about maidenhead aquatics and how good they are! I will need to go through sometime.

  Oh, well there's nothing cute about that!

Haha they are funny but cute too!

I don't plan on breeding just want to get him a friend. I was told the males are dominant towards each other so a female fits the bill. I wasn't planning on breeding my cories either they just happened Where about in scotland are you? Do you know dobbies in stirling-they have beautiful red rams...

That's what I was going to put, payara - hydrolycus scomberoides

  That's why I chose them-they are perfect for our soft water! I took the chance with them being sensitive but mines has been fine. Hopefully a female on friday :)

  Thanks, I am still feeling quite down about it. I am trying to look at the bright side, like I say it's a bit scrappy looking but I can't complain for £50. It saved my fish and that's what matters.  To add to the all time low, the sale of the roma has fell through since they are not selling...

I'm getting their filter, my landlady has it, it's powerful. She recommended it to me.  

Thanks, I need to put more sand in. I just think it looks very bland.    My PH has been stable at 6.4 even with the shells in.

I have my "main" fish which will be my pair of rams. I am not wanting anything else at the bottom, I still have a group of 6 schultzei coming too but the bronze are going back to the group they came from.    I will put 2 pics up, this is after rearranging a few things then before and after the...

omg look at those colours! MBOU stop giving me ideas! I thought I was stocked with the rams and the cories so I ordered another filter, it's a huge all ponds solutions one, 1200L/ hour for the bargain price of £25! I thought that that filter, teamed with my aquael power filter which does 600L/h...

I just don't know to be honest, when I bought my ram, I was told by the woman that they are very aggressive, territorial and don't do well in a community. He was in with my guppies until they sold and he was absolutely fine. I am going to get a female for him so he has some company. He digs...

I need to get some more substrate the cories just shuffle the plants out the sand. Hence why I was thinking of a hardscape but the ram needs plants!   pics of the inhabitants        Forgot I have 3 long fin peppers too lol

Ooh that's pretty :D    Is it a type of danio? 

Lol thanks guys :p frapdoodle, it's someone elses turn to get some good luck, hopefully you're next :) As promised here's a pic of the tank, now I know it looks a bit pathetic at the moment but I don't know what I want to do scape wise. The branch I had is too small now too, unless I suspend it...

Since you gave me both names, it's your go TT!
