ill clean out the spounges and filter now and hope there is improvement thanks for the advice

lol yeah i have a filter too its like an attatchment to the outside of the filter which produces bubbles, this isn't running as fast as usual

No i dont and my diffuser seems to be playing up could this be the cause?

My bristlenose seems to be coming up for air too and my diffuser isn't working properly at the moment could this be the cause? and yes german blue

My bristlenose keeps coming to the surface as if for air whats going on?

My ram cichlid died today, i had noticed last night it was spending a lot of time at the surface opening and closing its mouth, apart from that there has been nothing wrong :( please help

okay thanks :)

how many shrimp would you reccomend?

its 19l and its empty at the moment but fully cycled

What is the recommended number?

I have been told endlers are good tank mates for male bettas is this true?

Could you post a picture of the female? She could be pregant or it is possible that he is trying to mate with her

I had a guppy born in my tank with a bent spine and it lived for three years, which was longer than any other fry that mother dropped so maybe its not a bad thing at all! :)

Okay thanks for your advice, ill look into rehoming them :)

They lighting seems to be working fine so far and thank you ill look into those plants :)

I agree that this is a male fish, your tank isn't particularly big, it is possible that the males are trying to establish territory, especially if your tank is quite new. Also what type of pleco is it? As some will soon out grow a tank that size.

Okay thanks i will go will go for live then :)

As far as the bronze corys go I think that the longer one will be the male as females tend to be stockier and I bought two babies yesterday and can sex them maybe yours are younger.

can my plants be plastic?

Males are have more prominent dorsel fins as they tend to be pointier, females are slighly wider and their dorsel fins are more rounded, could you post some pictures of them,?

okay :)

Okay thanks for the advice maybe ill look into getting a slightly larger tank.

Sorry, the tank is 60 litres, they are peppered cory catfish and I had previously been advised against another ram, would you still reccomend bearing in mind my tank size? Also yes they were originally in the same friends even smaller tank but yes they are plecos.

Okay thank you :good:

Before the death there was one male and three females, I hope to get another female this weekend though.

Thanks ill definatly take a look, and yes I would rather just keep one happy than two cramped up!

In my tank currently I have: 1 male swordtail 2 female swordtail 1 balloon platy 1 ram cichlid 3 peppered cory catfish My tank is a juwel rekord 60 litres (60x30x30cm) and has been set up for 3 years

Okay thanks! Do they all have to be the same type e.g. all peppered?

Betta shopping on Saturday! All my levels are right and I am good to go! :lol:

I inherited a cory catfish from a friend who has changed to marine, she has always been by herself but today I bought two more, is this enough? Also does it matter that the original one is quite a bit larger?

I inherited the cory catfish from a friend who recently swapped to marine, and she has been alone the whole time, but I have bought two more today.

Yes I have, its not like the smaller doesn't eat, she does but maybe not where she originally wanted to!

60 litres, I have inherited this fish from a friend who has now changed to marine and she seems happy at the moment.

Thank you very much I shall try that as there is bound to be another pregnancy!

My ram cichlid seems to be very subdude, she gets put in her place by the largest of the female swordtails, she is two years old so i doubt her behaviour will change. Would you still discourage this?

I have always had one female bristlenose in my tank and have recently inherited another female who is quite a bit larger. The larger one will scare the other off if she wants to feed where the smaller one is. Should I be concerned about this?

Can i keep a female betta in a tank with: 1 male swordtail 2 female swordtail 1 balloon platy 1 ram cichlid 1 cory catfish 2 female bristlenose

can my plants be plastic?

I have just purchased a 5 gallon Fluval Chi for a betta, what else can i keep with him in there?

Those are some beautiful fish!
