Thanks guys, I was hoping they would be male and female. Yes the males head looks like it’s on more of a slant whereas the females head is more of a gentle slope. Any tips on breeding?

I do 40-50% once a week and seems to keep everything happy.

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone can help me sex these German blue rams? Thanks TT

Hi guys I went to my LFS and purchased this (green) potted plant but there were no labels on it to say what type it was. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply Colin. How long would it be before they starts spawning if they are pairing?

Hi guys, I have 2 electric blue rams and a German blue ram in my tank. I’ve noticed that one of the German blues and one of the electric blues are always together. They seem to chase the other electric blue ram away and sometimes chase other fish away too. They never chase eachother and are...

Hi guys, Decided to have a little revamp tonight. I’d been soaking a new piece of wood for about a month and it just wasn’t sinking so I superglued a piece of slate to the bottom to make it fully sink and it’s worked a treat. Anyway thought I’d just share a pic. Let us know your thoughts. TT

I know haha. Had her a few months she colours up really nice when feeding. Just crazy her dorsal is extended at the front haha

Here’s a pic of her.

Cheers guys. His fins are really long like and the dorsal fin is pointed which led me to believe that it was a male. I have a female German blue aswel but she does have the extended find on the dorsal too ?‍♂️ . Is this possible?

Hi guys, I got an electric blue ram a couple of weeks ago and was wondering if it’s a male or female. I think it’s a male but just wanted your guys opinions. Cheers, TT

Thankyou. It’s an aqua one ocellaris 1400 ☺️

Thanks for this Colin . I’ll post any updates if anything happens haha.

Cheers for this Colin. They are both definitely over 1 inch so fingers crossed. They seem pretty fond of eachother so I’ll keep monitoring them to see if they pair. Have you ever bred them successfully?

Hey guys, I’ve had a female German blue for a while now and I’ve just introduced a male for her. I was wondering how long it will take before they pair up. Every time they see eachother they flash wonderful colours and the female is looking really plump now and showing her belly off to him. Was...

So I put that plant in about 2 weeks ago and can’t believe the difference 2 weeks has made to it haha . Crazy!

Cheers guys! They are blue rainbows. In terms of plants there’s probably about 12 or 13 different plants. Dwarf hairgrass, dwarf hairgrass (mini), Monte Carlo, rotalia, various cryps, java moss and a few others. No Co2 just use ferts once a week!

Thankyou. It’s 33 gallons!

Hi guys. Thought I’d share a picture of my tank as it’s had a nice clean and I’m really happy with it. I set this up at the beginning of April so it’s nearly 7 months old. Let us know your thoughts. TT.

Lovely tank!

Thanks For the replies guys. Looking forward to Watching it grow.

Yeh after having a look it’s definitely Nymphaea. Anyone had any experience with them? Lovely little plants.

Thanks Ch4rlie. Just had a look and that seems to be what it is! Have you ever kept them before?

Hi guys, I’ve just bought a new plant from my LFS. I never buy plants without knowing what they are but seen this one and just had to buy. It’s a bulb plant. Was just wondering what type it is. I’m guessing it’s a type of lotus? Cheers, TT

Haha might have to get me some of that what’s it like to keep?

that’s amazing what’s the stuff on the top?

I have really soft water in my area and find it to grow really slow compared to the other plants in the tank. It grows outwards more than upwards if anything but it’s supposed to be a quick grower. From what I’ve read they don’t mind he’s water.

Thanks guys it’s taken a while to get the plants happy but think I’m turning a corner with them. Plants are as follows dwarf hair grass (mini) - bottom right Monte Carlo (can’t see in picture) Lilaeopsis brasilliensis - bottom left Hydrocotyl tripartita - growing around the rocks...

Thanks guys! I’m obsessed with it at the moment it’s every other night I’m doing something to it haha. Maybe I’ve got a problem :banana:

Hi guys, well It’s been almost 4 months now since I decided to jump back into the wonderful world of tropical fish keeping. After years off I decided to give it another go. It’s been a very interesting journey and I’ve learnt lots of new things (even after keeping tanks for years in the past)...
