Hi We have had a similar problem, first in my boyfriends tank where his White Moon Platy male picked on every other Platy in the tank especially the Red Wag Tail male, but also the females, we ended up taking him back to the LFS. Then in my tank i had a Blue Moon Platy, who also picked on...

Cheers all. Will have a look when im out later at the LFS and see what they have, or can get in for me, but i will make sure i get at least 4 :D Cant wait.

Cheers for that :) How many would you consider a small shoal? C

Hi All I have a 12Uk gallon tank (dimensions 24" x 12" x 12") with 6 small platys in it at the moment, and would like something else, was thinking of Corys as i think they are so cute :D , but have a couple of questions. Do you think i have room? And if so which type would be best? Claire :D

Hi Does anybody out there know of a low range Ammonia liquid kit? I’ve bought a Nutrafin Mini Master test kit today but the ammonia range is very broad i.e. starts at 0 then 0.6, 1.2, 2.4, 4.9, 7.3, which I don’t think gives a true reading if you have very low levels of ammonia. The other...

Thanks for that :) i hoped i was on the right lines. What sort of % water changes is best, at the moment im doing about 20% per day do you think this is to much? or should it be more? I do have quite a few plants in the tank as well as a couple of moss balls which the fish seem to love.

Hope you can help me, im a newbie and im not sure what im doing wrong :dunno: . Firstly I know that I have done things in the wrong order, my tank (a Juwel Rekord 60 54l) has been up and running now for 4 weeks 3 week with fish (7 platys and 1 Peppered Corydoras he was inherited from another...

Im a newbie as well so i only have one tank a little 54L :D the thing is as i spend so much time at my boyfriends the tank is there and he already has a 216L tank :D Oh and he lives in a studio flat :D

Hi Have you looked on ebay. There is a shop on there called Snail Shop (i think) the sell lots of different snails, have seen the staghorn on there but not sure about the others. Might be worth a look. :D

The tank they are in now is a 47.5 UK gallon tank, but they were born in a 30 UK gallon tank (this one got a leak a few weeks ago hence the upgrade :D ). They get feed a mixture of flake, frozen and dry foods once a day and eat well. They seem very happy in themselves and act just like the...

I know this doesn’t help at all as I haven’t go a clue if they are pintail or spadetail, but I just wanted to say that I think they look lovely whatever they turn out to be :D What a fantastic addition to any tank :cool:

I saw on another posting that somebody mentioned dwarf platy’s, do they exist? And if so are they a product of in-breading? The reason im asking is because we have 3 little platy’s in our large tank which are 4th generation of fry but they are only about 1.5 - 2cm long max and they must be at...

Thanks for all your advice. Will keep you posted on how it goes, and who ends up where :) All i wanted was a little tank with quiet Platy's as i think they are lovely, think im starting to get there :D

The male in the other tank is a big Red Wag Tail. The Blue in my tank seems to have a major problem with the sunburst and only a bit of a problem with the sunset, but i think he is heading for the big tank this weekend. Hope he will be ok, all my Platy's are about 1'', and the others in the...

And yes, you were along the right lines! Good job. I'm sure you'll get the hang of fish keeping very soon. And then there is always this forum if you have trouble. :thumbs: Another thing I thought of...what colors are your Male Platies, as this can sometimes have a effect on...

Thank you for the advice, at least i feel like i was thinking along the right lines :) Im fairly new to the fish keeping passion, though my boyfriend has had his tank running for a couple of years and just thinks im over fussing :) Nice pony by the way, did i see your name with a Haflinger...

I’ve got 5 female Platy’s and 3 males in a 12 UK gallon tank, I think at least one of them is pregnant but I'm not sure. Do the males loose interest in the females once they are pregnant or will they keep chasing them no mater what? Also 1 of my males seems very aggressive towards the...

Sorry guys, i think it came up from Southampton, we had it fairly bad at lunchtime but not with the hail, just a hell of a lot of rain and alot of thunder. Hope the fish get over it quickly, and you manage to get your windows fixed quickly. Claire

Cheers mate. Will try to pick up some more plants on my way home tomorrow from work. Claire :)

Hi All Don’t know if any one can help but one of our Platy’s (Silver Moon Platy, male) seems very aggressive towards a couple of our other Platys (Red Wagtails). We have 2 Silver Moons (1 female, 1 male), 2 (red Wagtails, 1 female, 1 male) and 2 Sunset (both female), but the male Silver Moon...

Hi All Im Claire and this is my first time on a forum (sad i know). Thought i would give it a go as i thought the information on this one was great. :)
