Lovely tank x

That's the basis of consent. If the person is fully informed and makes that choice so be it. It's the role of healrhcare professionals to make sure people have access to relevant and accurate information with which to make their decision. There is such a lot of scare mongering and inaccurate...

I think the book may be figurative. It strikes me as very unlikely that an mRNA vaccine would feature in a high school cellular reproduction text. And if it did it would be talking about the magnificence of the technique, not making false claims about vaccination

and thats exactly what we need to see happen - anyone can fill one. Crowdsourced medical info has been a massive step forward during the pandemic. I'm getting people to do it too - though cant really report feeling tired I've got people with site reactions etc to do it. Its an opportunity to...

I try and avoid these threads to keep me sane, but I feel like I can do a bit of myth busting or useful info sharing (DOI medically qualified and wont be answering specific medical queries) We do have some evidence the vaccine works - this data from the Zoe app study is useful...

Hello all - joining in for the first time because - why not? I humbly proffer my orange spotty molly - dunno quite how to classify him & think ginger dalmation may not be it! My boy isn't particularly fancy, if anything he's a pest who thinks he is the king of the castle hence finding himself...

I'm absolutely not an expert here, but think the answer is probably yes from the picture - looks out for a dark spot near her anal fin which I cant quite see in the pictures. My experiences of 4 months Molly ownership is if she has ever been near a male, or bought from a fish shop in the last...

So far, more that I haven't figured out the alternatives. I need to see if the LFS wants any freebies!

Welcome. Are you looking for anything specific? How big are you thinking? Do you know what you want to stock? The more experienced members will ask if you know your local water hardness etc so I will get in early :)

female - you can clearly see a fan shaped anal fin. Boys have a gonopodium https://guppyaquarium.com/identifying-male-female-guppy-fish/#:~:text=The%20difference%20in%20size%20between,are%20colorful%20with%20different%20patterns.

I am not an expert, only started at Christmas. But kitted out my 200l tank from https://www.aquaessentials.co.uk and everything was in great condition. All of it is thriving and will definitely go back in future, but I am not claiming extensive expertise ha ha! They also exceeded their delivery...

brill, thanks for info I will keep a close eye on them then - thanks x

Really? They have been in for months. I will keep an eye on them. I don't think the light is particularly bright, unlike my bigger tank.

Well I started out at Christmas with a lurid clown vomit tank and a couple of mollies (once cycled) I quickly realised that was maybe not the kindest environment, or most suitable so negotiated with the small dictator that a sandy substrate would be kinder for the fish, and gradually removed...

well time for an update I think... I did loads more reading and decided to add an external filter too so I have tonnes more than I need, just in case there's a period of way too much fry... That killed my frogbit off - forgot it doesn't like higher flow! It did take a bit of time to do so I...

well done xxx

I love how the cat is everywhere

yup - survival of the fittest - I think 6 lefts from 23. Thats why eventually the girls need to move out. But did want the small one to experience this for a finite amount of time. Even when they move out in 2 weeks we probably have a lot of fry to come...

We are going down a very similar road :)

Just over 2 weeks in and here is my progress. I added a lot of established filter media last week, fed a little ammonia which was munched rapidly with no measurable ammonia or nitrite in 24 hours. So I waited a few more days, did a 50% water change then transferred my mollies yesterday...

multiple tank syndrome. I have 3 now, but the teeny tiny one is just for emergencies. It does seem to be very contagious though :)

rapid escalation to MTS if I ever saw one!

yep I know - they run out eventually, but there's plenty of fry to deal with in the meantime I'm sure.

always the best bit

Done some more reading and that's the perfect solution! Once quarantined and I'm certain tanks ok, will swap girl mollies for guppies in other tank. Clearly there will be a bit more fry but with a finite number that is manageable for me, then gonna think about something like tetra or basically...

It's looking great :)

Guppies are non negotiable because my daughter really loves them. Female mollies separate may be the answer then, which is doable. Was going to put tetras in the small tanke eventually but could add something to the big tank in the end and keep the mollies in it instead

Hi all So, I have 4 adult mollies and 6 surviving fry in a 55g tank and am planning next steps for what we add. I have a couple of questions to ask those with way more knowledge than me... 1) I thought we had bought 1 male and 3 female but we actually have 2 of each. They are coping OK but...

Hope so, though basically building a plane in the air in terms of my experience. I'm in awe at how fast the plants are growing! May be able to add my 4 mollies this weekend, and then bring the next few additions to the old tank for quarantine. Not remotely excited, no not at all tee hee!

Cheers. I am enjoying myself far more than I ever imagined! I've already identified the plant I am superskilled at killing (Micranthenum), it will be interesting to see how everything does.

https://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/alternanthera-cardinalis-variegata-p-7445.html Alternanthera cardinalis variegata. Dunno if theres a common name. Got from this site and plants in greta quality, I got a mixed box and then this and a rotala rotundiflora - but that's mostly green so probably not...

Hiya I'm only really doing anything with testing because I added some cycled filter media and didn't want it to die if there was nothing in the tank so added a low amount of ammonia to make sure it was fed. The ammonia got nicely munched so I know when I am ready to add fish in a good few days...

Regarding what? I have some old filter media in there and am giving a daily mild feed. The tank already had nitrites and some nitrates, presumably from ammonia from substrate and this. Ammonia was up last week but now zero. Trying to follow discipline of silent cycle but can't help testing...
