I wonder if someone sneaked in and did that at my house.. two of my platies have been at it All DAY!!!!

I love them. They are so funny to watch.

I'm not going to attempt to hand feed my Crays.. they have my fingers off

*off to try this with my fish immediately

She's lovely. Hope Sailor is loving his new friend x

Yes but not in that tank

Ah.. well that ruins his name.. I called him Simon LoBon ( get it??) I'll leave Nismo ( the snail) in with my platy babies.

They are pretty small but I don't have Cory's so that would be impressive . They aren't in a group, they are just scattered asking the bottom but no one is trying to eat them. I've not noticed them until today so I'll just leave them alone and see what happens. The only other egg layers (that I...

They dont seem to bother with the fish to be honest. If one swims and lands on it they wave their arms about a bit but that's about it. They just annoy each other. I have a second tank and I can move things around if they start being naughty but I do a headcount each morning and everyone is...

Do you think I would be best to leave my nerite snail in my other tank then with my baby platies? I was worried about my Lobsters having him for breakfast

Oh brill. That's good to know. I have a nerite snail but I'm reluctant to put him in this tank as I also have 2 blue lobster and a Hoplo catfish. Im having to be really careful with feeding as the lobsters, catfish and normal fish all eat different foods so I'm putting 3 lots of food into the...

Thanks. I'll clean them up later. I'm now wondering if they are from my catfish pellets

Last night I noticed one of my neon's looked very plump and was swimming strangely like she/he was doing a little dance. I expected to find a dead neon this morning. However, all neons are back to normal size and swimming around normally. There are however some deposits on the floor of my tank...

I've just set my tank up with black fine gravel. I love the colour but you can see the poop on the top so I've bought a Turkey baster and I'm going to just try and regularly collect it up

I've got an original tank that I can transfer the platy back into. I'll do that. Their fry are still in that tank too

My water is soft but I've had my platies since December and they are breeding like mad so figured they were happy enough!

I know.. they would make really pretty fish babies though

I think my male killifish is in love with one of my female platies, they've not left each others side since I put them together

They are lovely. I was looking at Dalmatian platies for myself when I did the same yesterday. Only went to buy some plants and came back with lots of fish

My tank is complete. 110L ( I think that's around 30US Gallons?) Fine gravel substrate All live plants All measurements were spot on which I was happy with. Ended up getting new fish though so I'm there I now have: 10 neon tetras 5 adult platies + 1 fry who didn't want to be left out 2 dwarf...

No apparently not, generally ok with other fish as long as they are non aggressive. Happy with a total freshwater tank. I just them a pellet each day. So far they've not bothered any of my fish but I did but them in a pair and the smaller one is quite territorial of his little cave he's built so...

They are very entertaining. Been sat watching then for an hour

Got these today. A pair of blue lobster. One decided to moult in the bag as I was bringing him home which gave me a bit of a shock.

My picture didn't upload

So it ended up going very wrong today. My tank is great. Temp and parameters are perfect so I went to my LFS ( a good one) and ended up buying this? Probably totally innapropriate but I love him. Called him Simon Lo-bon. Thankyou. My doggy is an idiot.. an old lady with no manners

I love my platy fry

They are lovely. I think I need some of those

I've got some that are still in their current tank but I'll transfer them across with the fry.

Thanks very much

Yeah agree the platies would be good but I've got a Hillstream Loach and I thought they liked colder water. If they do I'll keep them in my original tank and get some Cory's for my new one. Could you please remind me of the site I should use to check fish species. I've seen it mentioned a few...

Thanks. I'll test all parameters over the weekend and if all looking good I'll transfer a couple over on Monday. I've now got a heater which I didn't have in my old tank. I've been to a (decent) LFS today and they seem to think the fish I have now would be happy for the temp to go up to 24-28c...

The tank is 2nd hand and had only been emptied this morning. I've reused the filter and added my own filter media. The drift wood came with the tank and the rocks and plants have come from my tank. I've added a filter booster and dechlorinated the water. How long should I wait before adding my...

You'll be able to afford a guppy

Good luck! Put what you would have spent on cigarettes each week in a jar and treat yourself to something when you have a decent amount. You'll deserve a reward
