Agree :) Money money money... I knew a fish seller in a LPS that was respectfull to living-beings she was in charge - fishes, puppies, kittens, budgies, ferrets, etc - by dint of sharing her knowledge to other sellers, the "animal department" had acquired very good reputation but didn't make...
A few are good (fortunately) so lucky you !
I've never been asked what I think is essential :
- tapwater GH KH pH then fishes that match with it.
I've been nerver answered about behavior-dwelling area-slow swimmer or active swimmer :
- no, these fishes cannot live with those ones
That is why I...
Hey :)
Hard to say at this age/size !
In general, female has wider body, shorter pectoral fins, small bristles mostly around mouth.
Could you provide a picture showing its pectoral fins widely spred ?
Hey there,
In a systematic way, all that serves aquarium and fishes is in double + a ready quarantine/hospital tank + fry net nursery tank + Mont-Roucous bottled-water in case ROsystem breaks down.
Hey there :)
This usaually happen when putting male and females in the same tank :whistle:;) 😇 especially when it comes to swordtails (and Platies, Mollies, Guppies).
Unless your tank is large enough you might contemplate a fingerling invasion :lol: as they are very prolific fishes !
Maybe you...
I can not agree with you more ! except on a point :
you're right usually is the key word :lol:
So true ! I'm currently experience this on a German forum about Syngnathus fish, particularly on Microphis deocata that is fascinating (to me).
Noooo not my purpose ! I encourage to choose middle range parameters (whatever they are) rather than the lower extrem or the higher extrem as there is much less risk of making big mistakes.
You pointed it right ;) French is my native language.
Very possible. I proceed - sometimes a bit hardly - between different parts of my familly and close friends, being, French, English, Italian, Spanich, and a tad of German !
Some of TFF members complain I'm curt so I guess it has to be true.
My passion for animals, fishes as it happens, leads (too) often making me filled with too much enthusiams.
Therefore, I apologize to those who have misunderstood my enthusiasm thinking it's abruptness, particularly to @Circus ...
It's obvious : none prédators in aquarium !
There are changes according to seasons making pH GH KH fluctuating, in any case, the pH fluctuates, even if only between day and night.
To those who eventually would like to read full article, here it is ...
Pity. Could you try again ?
Not yet but I keep on seeking information.
That said, I'm pretty sure these tetras live more happy in their biotope because they are free and not at the mercy of some people that keep their fishes leaving it up to luck, very often by trusting LFS/LPS advices that...
Pics of post #1 show the "red patch" then no red patch or wound.
Pics of post #5 show a red area with for now translucent scales thanks to a good 🔎
If you could make Harry flare in front of a mirror and shoot him when he stays still, will allow you to get clearer pics. Just to be sure ;)
😂😂 It's a metaphor. What would you have commented if I'd said.... what's bred in the bone comes out in the flesh ?
I already answered this point. Unless I don't understand "particular article"
Any reference ?
Not only in puddles, also in ponds and lakes. They have an advantage in their...
Seriously Fish, FishBase, Fishipedia, Planet Catfish, Corydoras World (charged but considering the amount of knowledge, it worth it) are amongts the best sources of information, so yes, as said above and many other times, I always relied on what the natural habitat parameters and set up of the...
