    Molly is very big - normal??

    She does look pregnant. As Ellen said above.. Mollys can hold sperm and re-pregnate themselves even with no males around. Their gestation period is around six to ten weeks so she may still give birth yet. I’ve got mollies and they have produced three batches of fry, I currently have two...

    Ropefish attacked Dragon Goby - euthanize?

    Hi newmag. I went through the same problem with my ropefish, it actually killed and consumed quite a few of my small fish before I realised what was going on. I began feeding them with fresh and frozen bloodworm and brine shrimp, and after finding out that they are social animals and may be...

    Slimmed Down Fish Room Journal

    I love your videos. I wish I could come up with names for all of mine.. so far my Pleco is called Pedro and one of the two Reed fish was named Sebastian, but I can barely tell them apart and I actually think they’re both female 😂

    Insatiable appetite for more fish

    Hello. My name is Sparx and I am an aquarist-aholic. I’m not addicted to my smart phone. I barely watch television. I’d rather sit by my aquarium and watch the fishes go about their business. Sometimes they come and say hello. Sometimes they dance for food. On occasion some of them like to see...

    I got my tank and most of my fish from Maidenhead Aquatics. Very nice and knowledgable bunch there, I’ve got one quite local to me 👍🏻 What tank did you go for? Edit: I downloaded the Maidenhead Aquatic App called Fishkeeper and it gives you details on species and what water parameters are best...

    Guppy with protruding lump

    Agreed, this does look like dropsy but wouldn’t want to assume as I’m no expert. This article has some good information, perhaps have a read and compare it to what’s happening to your guppy https://www.thesprucepets.com/dropsy-in-aquarium-fish-1381806

    Sparx’ Tank Journey

    Thank you Magnum Man. I appreciate your kind words 😊 Yeah I think when you’re new to the hobby the plastic colourful plants look super cool and you want your tank to stand out amongst the rest.. but the more you learn and grow into the hobby the more you want what’s best for your fish, and...

    Sparx’ Tank Journey

    Hi guys. Been on the forum a couple of months now and I have been truly inspired by some of the tanks I’ve seen. I wanted to take you through my journey of being a complete novice to fish keeping, to where I am today.. a little less of a novice I guess! 😅 It started off almost two years ago...

    Ok… caffeine subject of the day… plant fertilizer, and your fish…

    I am curious, what plants do you find thrives without fertiliser, and which ones have you found needs them and can’t do well without them?

    Carbon in a tank with plants ( adding fertilizer) ???

    Thank you ☺️🙏🏻 I am really pleased with the way it looks. But that is good to know about the plants doing some of the work, I wasn’t aware of that.

    Carbon in a tank with plants ( adding fertilizer) ???

    You raise a valid point there Magnum Man! I’m actually keen to find out opinions of this. My tank has always had activated carbon, and I’ve only introduced plants in the last month or so, never had live plants before so quite new to it. When we were looking into adding plants the guy in the...

    Oh how they’ve grown!

    I had some Molly fry which I have watched grow into adults, only a couple of them survived to adulthood but the male is now creating offspring of his own with the other ladies 😅

    Oh how they’ve grown!

    Anybody else astounded when they look back at old pictures and realise just how much their little ones have grown?? I came across this the other day of my two Synodontis.. And now they fill the hole in that cave behind them! The two of them wouldn’t even fit in that cave together now if...
