My husband is a blocker too. He'd rather spend a fortune on car stuff. He said he'd ordered some"snails" .. Turned out he meant Turbo's

Noooooo!

Oh. He's adorable

I've got Panda and Julii in my tank. All settled well and no issues so far. Had them about 2 months. I do regular 60% water changes.

Awe, thankyou.. it must be all that manky tank water I keep spilling on myself

Hi, welcome to the group. I'm a bit of a novice too so I just do what these guys say ( most of the time )

Unfortunately I'm all to aware of how old I am ( 42 )

Mine used to do that to my Hoplo. Unfortunately I came downstairs to find one of my Crays chewing on a platy like it were sweetcorn so they have now been rehomed with the lovely man from my LFS who has taken them to live (alone) at his house.

There is an online Facebook group in the UK than I'm also a member of. Think it's called tropical fishkeeping. They will let you sell your tank and accessories but don't try and rehome your fish on there.. they will boot you off immediately.. they have a zero tolerance policy on dealing in...

Really?! I'll keep my eye on that then. Thanks

There are plenty of caves and hiding places. I haven't seen him all day since he got fed so he's obviously sulking somewhere. I've never seen them right and they actually go out of their way to avoid each other so I think it's a moult gone wrong. I'll keep my eye on them both though. Thankyou

Lobster Help! I've woken up this morning to a tank of scattered lobster body parts and a lobster with one arm. One has moulted so I don't know if it's possible that his choose has detached during this process or if the other lobster has gone for him while he was moulting. Are they ok with one...

They are only small themselves. They are lovely little fish.

Thanks. That's what I'd guessed but wanted to check. I've read that they shouldn't be kept in a community tank but mine are really lovely. My only fish that aren't trouble!

My husband chose these Killi's and they are in our community tank. They are very peaceful but I wondered which specifies they are so I can read up on them a bit more. Thanks

I was thinking of getting a sea monkey set up and using that too feed then.. is this suitable food?

Brill, I'm going to turn my tank into a heavily planted adventure playground and continue the search for some Puffers. Can't find any anywhere

The tank I am putting them in is currently covered in snails so I'll take some out and get them breeding in another little tank. Will they also eat bloodworm etc?

I thought the snails would be like an all you can eat buffet for them :) there would be no other fish in the tank.

Hi, I have fully cycled but empty ( apart from pest snails) tank. It's around 35 litres ( 7.5 us gallons) would this be suitable for a dwarf puffer. I've read so much conflicting info about whether they should be kept alone or in groups of 6 minimum I now don't know what to do. Thanks

Thanks. I can't take the credit though. My husband is called Wesley and when we got our pug 10 years ago he wanted a boy one that he could call Wesley Jnr. We ended up with a female called Peanut. Then when we were having a baby he wanted a boy and for it to be called Wesley Jnr. We had a girl (...

My Wesley Jnr ( Hillstream Loach) would love that first one

Brilliant. I've currently got a fully cycled but empty 35l tank which would probably suit a Betta so I'll look out for your assignment.

I set my new tank up 3 weeks ago and added my platy fry yesterday. I had already added my original fish as I had used my original filter etc as you have done.

This is my 35l fry tank. Also occupied by a Hillstream Loach because he's too fast for me to catch him. :)

I've added a couple more pics.

It looks flat to me. The other male platy keeps chasing him but I'm struggling to catch him. I'm going to get up early tomorrow and do a big water change. I saw another platy flashing earlier so should I just salt treat the entire tank?

I didn't think you were implying that. Don't worry :) Ok, so my quarantine tank is small, filtered and treated with tapsafe. Assuming I catch him how much salt do I add and does it need to be a specific type of salt? Do I need to do anything else to my main tank as a precaution ( other than my...

Thanks.

Thanks, I do have a quarantine tank so I'll try and catch him. I do water changes every week. This tank is less than a week old anyway and I only used clean water.

Hi, one of my male platies 'went missing' for a few days after I transferred him into the new tank. When he reappeared he has a white patch on his head and one on his tail. They haven't got any bigger and he's swimming around happy enough and eating. Does anyone have any ideas what this is? I...

Hi, I bought the plant in the picture attached last week from my LFS. I have since been told that it isn't an aquatic plant and that I need to remove it before it rots and affects my water quality. Also, I have a few plants that came in those little mesh pots. Do I need to remove the pots when...

Hi, was wondering if anyone has any experience with these guys? One of mine has disappeared. There are tunnels and hiding places in the tank and I have a fitted lid. Do you know if they tend to hide, perhaps before moulting? Also, they like to snip bits of my Anacharis and strip the leaves and...
