32 days? And how old do they have to be before they can be sold to LFS? :)

Hello i am new to this also but i have read that if the electric is turned off for more than an hour the oxygen in the tank fades and a tank with little oxygen smells like bad eggs. My tank normaly smells of wet peat which it seems yours smells of, i would continue to keep the tank warm and open...

How long are platies pregnant for?, i have six that are pregnant and 2 look huge :hyper: . Also when can i give the fry away to the LFS? Thankyou.

Its ok now, i have put them in a tub with aquarium water and a plant next to the radiator, still dont know what snails they are though as they are tiny. Thanks for your help :)

Hello, i have a tiny snail in my tropical fish tank and i would like to know if it would survive in my big bucket outside with rain water and things in, would it survive out in the cold?. I dont like killing anything, if it turns up it gets a home :)

Thankyou sylvia i have asked the other forum. I dont like killing anything, if it turns up then it gets a home. :D

I have found a small snail on my plant in the tank, what should i do with him?, if i have to take him out can i put him in my large bucket in the garden full of rain water and things and will he survive outside in the cold? :)

You dont need to add salt at every water change, i was told to calculate the amount of water i have taken out since the last time i added salt. I have made 120% water change since the last time i put salt in so i added some more, so if you have only done a 50% water change since you added salt...

I am new here and will let the experts tell you what you should do but i do know that your ammonia and nirite reading are Very high, mine did that and i did a 50% water change immediatly and 10% water change everyday. Your tank sounds like its still cycling and you should Not :no: put any more...

Loads of great looking fish :cool: , i think the are all great. I like the fish that is blushing (i know he/shes not :) ) I hope your other fish in the last picture gets well soon :) . :kewlpics: Welcome to the forums

Brilliant fish!, great colours and features :D Those firemouths look like the could break into song with those lips :lol

WOW! He is amazing! :kana:

I cant realy see him that well, but he looks interesting anway :D

lovely looking fish :cool: ,i hope your discus get well soon.

Hello I am quite new here and i have read some of your posts. Being a complete beginner to tropical fish keeping i knew little about it, there is something i knew nothing about and that was cycling :blink: , so i got my tank let it run for 3 days and then got my fish (8 red platys) :/ all my...

Ive calculated the water changes and i think i can safely put more salt in, ive changed more than the tank its self since the last lot of salt :lol: . I will do another water change tomorrow (about 25% again) as the fish have been pit to bed now. Im glad the cycing has started in away as i just...

I forgot to say that i read in another post that you should not suck the gravel when the tank is cycling.............well ive done it twice now :o , i done think i got all the muck out though as my fish wanted to go on a water lume ride down the hose :D. Also i forgot to mention that alge is now...

Update: I tested the water this afternoon and the results : ammonia- 0.25ppm ph - 7.5 nitrite - 0.50ppm nitrate - 40 ppm 10% water change results: ammonia - 0.25 ph - 7.5 nitrite - 0.50 nitrate - 40 This evening i done a 25% water change, results: ammonia - 0ppm nitrite - 0.50 ppm :huh: Is...

ok, thankyou sylvia :) . They are due for a water change today, i will also test the water today aswell. They look a bit more colourfull today and are all swimming normaly.

6 of my fish look a bit pale (red platys), they seem to be yellow looking on their under side and more pale round the under side of their gills. Is it because i have over fed them today?, because someone (Idiot!) told me that i shouldnt be just feeding them once a day and that i should feed them...

Yes, i have 8 red platys and i am a beginner. They are very lively and like the other post said they 'beg for food'. I feed them a small amount once a day, they keep making me feel guilty but they are not having anymore than that. I brought them freeze dried brine shrimp for a treat once a week...

I dont think the phillipines got hit realy, i know of someone that is visiting family there at the moment.Im sure your sisters best friend is ok :)

Where did you here that? :) . I hope that is true. It could well be true because animals are far more inteligent than humans when it comes to these kinds of things (and others) and so how survive, their alert signals would have be switched on along time before any human. Can i say one more thing...

Sooooooooooo cute :D . Cucumber?, could i give my platies cucmber?

Mine is 40 litres, i thought it was the same but its not :)

I saw on the news a HUGE dead puffer fish dead after it had been left by the sea, im sure their are thousands of fish effected. Even if there are alive the rotting bodys still in the water may have an effect.All humans, animals and fish have been just about wiped of the face of the planet in the...

:lol: Bless him.So pretty.

TO SYLVIA I didnt ask what sork of suka it was ( i was'nt asking questions realy), i was just curious after never seeing p's before and even more curious about the suka. It purely conversational to the owners of the fish.

Thats the exact same tank im going to get soon ( in the summer saving pennys), the silver with stand. I saw it in the shop the other day for £150, how much was yours. I think it looks great, the new silver tanks seem more effective and also match silver decor in living rooms (like mine). It did...

Hello, i am new to tropical fish also and i am doing a cycle with 8 platies. I am doing a 10% water change everyday (dont forget to add aqua safe to new water and test tempreture) and doing water test every day. I also keep the top of the tank open for 1 hour a day to air it. The ammonia in my...
