Mine looks like the one in the first page of this thread, thanks for the pic, i'll enquire at pets at home, which is better the plec or the 3 cories choices choices :crazy:

I dont think its worth it, this lady is a real *stiff* she said "its bad to read to many books" when i said i hadnt i'd been on here, she said i was wasting my time, that experience was the best advice i could get. By this time i'd given up trying to explain that on here is a wealth of...

lol, how bizarre, they are definately getting enough to eat so it must just be curiosity

what do they look like?? do you have any pics? sorry to be a pain.

Every time i have to stick my hands into the tank, to add new plants etc, i get sucked on almost instantly by my fish, the mollys are the worst the black one a little devil lol, i'll move around the tank with him constantly attached to my arm. It started the other day, my elbow felt weird so i...

Ok will do, i was getting a little confused then, felt all excited inside that i might actually be able to keep him, ah well at least like you said sorrell he will thrive in a new home with a bigger tank. :)

Your right there, sneaky buggers, wont be going there again I'm hoping to get 3 of one of the following types peppered incolicana nattereri osteocarus schwartz's havent decided yet they are all great Ooopps gotta go footies on and i only got warm beer :( Thanks again

when i bought the cory in disguise :rofl: , they gave me algae wafers and said to add one every other day, which i've been doing, although the other fish in my tank are probably getting more of it than the plec, but he seems to feed day and night on the glass and gravel, i'll ask about it when...

Great idea, I just called pets at home and they said they would take it, they said they wouldnt pay me for it, but i'm not that bothered about that. Thing is it'll be sad to see him go, he does such a good job in the tank, ho hum, Thanks again clutterydrawer, and good luck with the a-levels...

Hi well i think you are all gonna love this I called the shop back today and said i was bringing the plec back and asked if i could bring the swordtail back, she asked why and i explained She said a plec would take 10+ years to get that big and they rarely do, she said it would probably...

:kana: yeh lets hope so, Well the first and closest to me is "Avon pet & garden" which i'm sure is not a chain, and the second is "pets at home" previously "petsmart" And thanks again for all your help, Kindest Regards Miranda

I wasnt saying it was, just saying please be careful, besides i think he/she posted their reading before and i didnt think they were especially bad, except the nitrates, but like someone said plants, nitrazorbe or water changes will sort this i think. i know that i know very little compared to...

Please be cautious though, my black molly started doing this, it turned out to be "velvet" so i treated it, unfortunately being a newbie perhaps i didnt get there quick enough because we lost him :( I'm not saying it is this, but please be careful, it was horrible losing him like that Symtoms...

wow they are gorgeous, I might have to take my male swordfish back as well :( because he is seriously stressing the other fish, he used to just annoy the female swordtail but now he's doing it to the platys and guppies also, and the female swordtail looks so sad I will go to another lfs as i...

okay people My favourites are as follows Incolicana Cory Osteocarus Cory Schwartz's Cory Nattereri Cory Do you think i could get any of these in the UK, there were so many beautiful corys BTW - thanks for the link clutterydrawer it was great

Hi Okay thank people, the lady at the lfs was actually commenting on fish owners who buy fish purely on the colours etc without knowing the facts, and i told her the size of my tank, she was going to order me some cherry barbs (dont know what they are like??), as she said they would be a great...

i have a dalmation molly, 2 silver and a black i dont know what type of swordtails i have but one is male and blue, and the other is female and orange & white

Yes it was the same shop, and its identical to the plec in your top picture 18" thats huge, i thought that the rule of most fish was they would adjust to your tank, and not outgrow it! wow i really will have to take it back as that is just waaay to big. I posted a little while ago that my...

I heard that my mollies will grow between 4" - 6" thats massive, i've never ever seen them that big I live in the UK so are the measurements any different to the US,

Great website, your tank looks good Only thing i dont like is the advertisment banner, it opens on every page, perhaps just have it on the first page. Other than that its interesting finding out about other members, Good luck with it, so far so good Miranda

i just found out i havent got a cory i've got a plec, will this make any difference??

Okay so i bought what i was told was a corydora two weeks ago, after getting advice on here i was told that they do better in groups of 2 or more, The one i have is at least an inch in width and 4" in length, well i go to the lfs today to get another cory to keep my other company, I ask for...

27.5uk gal, i think its about 127 litres if that makes sense

The randy little sod. lol Okay, have i room in my tank though? I've currently got 4 mollys (female) 3 guppies (1 male i think, 2 females) 2 platys (female) 2 swordtails (1 male, 1 female) 1 cory I need to get another cory as i was advised they are better in groups or pairs

My blue swordtail keeps darting after my female, trying to sword her, he bends next to her then twists?? what is this? Fighting, playing or mating ?? Sorry very confused here, also, do they need to be kept in groups or prefer a male to female ratio?? as i only have the 1 male and 1 female...

Thank you everyone for your support and kind words, i must admit that after watching them today and still looking for him, i've realised that if i gave up i would be losing all my fish and not just the one, i know it wouldnt be the same, but they would still be gone. Whilst typing that message...

4 Mollys 2 silver, 1 black, and 1 dalmation (all female) 2 platys blue tint (both female) 2 swordtails 1 blue(male), 1 orange and white(female) 3 guppies 2 orange(female), 1 blue (male) 1 Corydora(not sure sex)

I kept saying perhaps if i did a 50% water change now (12.45am), perhaps if i added some more meds, perhaps if.... My partner fished him out and put him in a cup full of water, and i kept thinking all night, perhaps he's not dead, and kept checking. I'm not really religious but i even asked...

But its so hard, i dont think i could go through it again. He was the first fish i picked out along with a dalmation molly and 2 platys, it was so awful, he was led on his back just breathing normally like the others but when he tried to swim up to the top, he just nosedived back down, head...

I watched my black molly take his final breaths last night and it destroyed any idea i had of continuing with fishkeeping. i had been treating him for velvet and slime, he looked so much better yesterday morning, was swimming around more actively, spending more time at the bottom and less at...

have you got any pics, I've got 2 blue tint platys, but i dont know what they're proper names are :(

my tank was cycled or so i thought, i waited seven days after fishless cycling which spiked, and everyday the results were 0, so after those seven days i bought 4 fish, then a further 3 five days later etc etc my levels have stayed at 0 except they do rise after adding more fish, but then drop...

My poor molly does look better but isnt eating much, he isnt spending so much time at the top now (which is good), i really hope he pulls through (how long can it take to heal) Bought the tank beginning may, and i wasnt planning to buy any just yet until everything got better. Water levels...

second thoughts then, i'd better leave it i guess, else i really will be overstocked Thanks anyway guys, you've all been a huge help

In that case the blue swordtail is definately male and the orange and white female, as my partner also said the female looked more like a molly, and she doesnt have asword like him, and he chases her around alot, thats why i thought he was male will this affect what i can get ??

I want him, hes great (dunno if its male), my bloke loves him to pieces, its a man thing i think biggest fish in the tank and all that. My little girl will have to get used to it i'm afraid, shes only 2 1/2yrs so i've plenty of time to show her how harmless he is, and i think its just because...

The mollys are 4 female 1 male (although i think i'm losing the male :() The platys are both female The swordtails i think are one male one female And not sure about the guppies, the two orange tails are inseparable and the blue swims on its own alot, so i think he's male and the others are...

Oic, :( okay 2 more corys then i guess, at least they will be happy, even if they are scary looking no offence but they frighten my little girl

Aquarius - are you sure, i've heard so many conflicting stories, i think its my fault though that i didnt put UK by the gal in my original topic. so whats the maximum you think i could get 6 neons and another cory that would be great, you've made me so happy, thankyou.

So is there absolutely no way whatsoever than i can fit a few neons in there?? without getting rid of any, as i am very attached I only have 13 fish, in a 27.5 UK Gal, which is 36 1/2" long, 18" high, and 16 1/2" deep 5 Mollys (1 dalmation, 2 black, 2 silver) 2 Platys (blue tint) 3 Guppies (2...
