If i was to put corys on with my new guppy fry would the corys eat the fry? Was just a thought to aid gravel cleaning etc Any ideas??

Iam currently cycling a small external filter for my brother. It has Enhiem filter tubes on it and i noticed theres some kind of slimey white algae growing in the pipes. Looking at the filter there seems to be a good bit inside floating in it, it seems to be lining the pipes on the inlet and...

I've got 9 Odessa barbs in my community tank and they just fight amongst themselves. But its all depependent on temperment. I've got a gourami in with mine and hes fine. Nothing with long flowing fins though. But they seem ok in mine.

Well thats a convenient off week topic. As my self and my partner got engaged on sunday!!! Any way i had a ring made to my specifications so i bought a stone and decided how i wanted it set and then the ring which joins eather side of the diamond in 18ct white gold. I bought her a little Me...

Ive only had 2 1x25litre for my guppy fry (which is really really old). 1x240 litre.

Spent pretty much my whole (Fortnightly) pay check on a MASSIVE 20GB ipod lol Worth every penny till it broke :( But now all my pay check goes on Morgage, Bills, Shopping, Car and theres a tiny bit left for fish releated items lol

I get this ALOT with my greedy odessa barbs coz they try and eat as much of them as they can fit in there mouths i tend to just ignore it and it sorts itself out. Only really takes bout 20 mins at a maximum mind u cardinals are alot smaller than barbs hope its ok, mibby he/she will learn a...

I think it will be hit and miss if the eggs hatch and the fry have plenty of places to hid you might get some that survive. Best of luck!

:good: Thanks to both of you. Ill get sum tomoz morning. Done a 20% water change tonite and a wee quick gravel vac then done a water test and the levels are still the same so thats good. Hopfully i sum meds will clear up any infections.

anyone else got any ideas? Cheers spence. Goin up to Govan the morra so am gona ask the mad guy wee bought fish off last time we where up. See if he knows anything. Hes seems as if he knows a wee bit bout fish.

what treatment do i need though? if the dollars have an ifection the fish might have it too so id be aswel treat all of em.

dont have a heater for it tho :( and if i put four into that wee tank would be a shame.

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE SPENCE!!! K/O Its really strange ive scouted everywhere and i cant find anything that relates to this :/ Its a bit sad really i dont want them to die. I dont know if it might have somthing to do with stress dues to being bagged up then having to go through 1 5 min car...

This is why i wanted to get it sorted incase i do have anymore deaths nothing worse than having to pull out a dead fish form the tank :no: Test Results Using a Nurafin Liquid Test Kit pH -7.0 (not important i know but ill put it in anyway.) Ammonia -0 Nitrite -0.1 (this is normally...

in a word yes if its a fishless cycle. I think you should mibby do a water change and see if it drops any. Whats your other readings? (nitrate and nitrite)

Small Fish to Betta: Yea okay... You've got pretty epic finnage but I'VE GOT A RED STRIPE!!! CHECK THAT S*** OUT!!!

But then again it might not :lol: if it does just get some hot water on a cloth and it should wipe off with a bitta heat on it. Failing that vinegar is good for cleaning tank not sure bout doing it with the fish init tho :blink:

Gutted! I love carpet! I love lamp! I love greasy super mario!!!!

IMO I think LFS should take upon them selves (THEY WON'T) To only sell these type of fish to people that can house those fish. But this whole thing of a total beginner being sold a 60g tank and being sold 3 Bala Sharks, A red tailed cat and a 7 Clown loach. That should stop! Immediatly! it wont...

I've got 3 female guppies no males. 2 of them have large gravid spots without coming into contact with any males in my care. So they only really need to get 1 load of well I'll call it baby gravy and you can mibby 6-7 lot of fry from them. Kept in a community tank tho so I can't see many of...

My Dollar (it seems to be just the 1 I have 4) have some kind of well what looks like mould :blink: all over his body I cant get a picture as his bodys too shiny to see it. But when he touches a plant (plastic) or anything it seems to flake off. Then it floats about the tank and the fish seem...

Well i bought a battery operated syphon and it annoyed the S*** outta me so i butchered it and with the help of some garden hose and a plastic bottle ive got a manual 1 and its well better! The only bits i used off the one I bought was the plastic pipes. Works a treat tho!!

Oh well. He had a good life :nod: Yip all the fish are happy. Certainly wont miss his MASSIVE jobbies!!

He was given to me with my tank. Spoke to the guy bout 20 mins ago he thinks he was at least 4 years old. Nope no symptoms he was razzing about happy this morning before i left for work. Even bought him some cuecumber tonite on my way home from too! :( sad day. Am gutted he was the most...

Really? I've never heard of that before. I always assume it would be ok as it goes to the pumping station and the water is "cleaned". Ill need to rememeber that :good:

Came home from work today to fine my common plec (Pierre) lying at the bottom of the tank motionless :(. Ive check my pH, Ammonia, Nitrate and Nitrite. Everything normal! Normal being pH=7.0 Ammonia=0.0 Nitrate=10 Nitrite=0.0 The tank was checked last nite and it was the same. All the other...

Well currently im using a "borrowed" heater. But obviously i want to get my own 1 so i was wondering if anyone has any views on.... Under substrate heaters? Internal heater? (which I'm currently running its rather unsightly) External heater? (Attaches to the inlet pipe) So id like to use a...
