Ok well despite what I assume most people would suggest, I've added my fighter to my community tank. He just seemed so neglected in his bowl and I felt bad for keeping him in it, like I wasn't doing enough to make him feel comfortable. Lucky for me he seems less worried the other fish as much...

Thanks Moby, do they tear up plants alot? How aggressive are they? Do they need to be in more of a species tank rather than a community tank? Oh and how big do they get?

:hyper: Pics!! Seeing this fist pic I'm amazed at how much the plants have grown in the week or so since I took it!! This one turned out better than I thought it would, this is my very uncolourful ram Nosey lil ram :lol:

The ram I have now I only have because I ordered a mate for my other one, and he then coloured up, went really dark and died on me, within a week or two of getting the one I have now :( And the one I have now, is really light and barely has any markings. I have pretty hard alkaline water, I...

Anyone here keep peacock cichlids? I can't find any info on here about them, and I'd really like to know what they're like to keep from people who keep them :)

Haha well the idea is I get the biggest tank I can fit in the house, but everything from my current tanks have to be able to go into it. That's the pre-requisite as stated by my dear OH :rolleyes: I'd love to start a heap of tanks, as I know not all fish are compatible and I want them ALL...

Sorry Steve, I'll try and restrain my potty mouth :angel:

It's all up the top, I have some photos that I MUST upload soon, I'll do it tonight I promise. I have a 55lt and two 20lt, if I upgrade, I'm gonna try and get the biggest one supplied up here :D I think it's something like only 120lt which sucks cause its not really that much bigger than the...

Looks like I may be in for an upgrade! :D OH has decided to let me buy a bigger tank, but I have to swap some fish around and end up with most of them being in the big tank, so the guppies will probably go, I'm not sure, I really like my guppies :/ Will post a journal I think, when I work out...

I have a 55lt community tank at the moment, and my OH wants to add some Cherry shrimp. It is mostly planted and plenty of places to hide, I have mostly passive fish in there, except maybe the Bolivian ram who seems to have a bit of an attitude. I have a 20lt Guppy tank as well, but would the...

I have two girls so I'm not sure which one dropped the fry, and one of them must have decided they looked tasty so there's only three now and both girls are back in their own tank. This is two of the bubs 2 days ago, they've grown tons already so I'll have to get some new pics :)

My new CT Alice :D And yes I realise he's a he :P

I started off with one small 20lt tank and a few Guppies... I now own half of the loungeroom with a 55lt, two 20lt and a fighter "vase" (I know, I know, I'll be moving him when I get the second bedroom back from our bro-in-law ;)) 55lt is home to: 4 Panda Corys 9 Neon Tetras 1 Bolivian Ram 1...

We have fry!!! Found 5 this morning during a water change, but now there's only 3 :(, they've been removed to another tank :D Seems they were just about to pop after all!

I plan on shifting them to a bigger tank and see if I can take the girls back. I might see about getting a few more boys, that way I'll have the prettiness without having to worry about the girls being pounded to death haha

Yeah I figured that's what it was, thank you for your condolences, I won't be buying a replacement, the fishies I have left are doing fine and I don't want to risk another death.

It's 2'x1'x1' Only 55 ish litres, but well planted, I was hoping to get a male and female but my lfs doesn't discriminate when they're packing and its basically a lucky dip. The rest of the tankmates are fine and the new guy seems happy enough. The one that died I never really saw eating...

Thanks Frank :) I'm glad to know they're happy, I love watching them sift through the sand and they even clean my plants!

Well he's gone :'( Found him on his side at the bottom of the tank :( New guy on the other hand is mostly white and cream with barely any stripes, spots or colour at all and is happily swimming around the tank. Stil not sure why my first guy died :/

Wow, thanks Baccus, I didn't realise they held onto the fry so long! I don't have an empty tank, looks like they'll just have to learn to hide really quick :/

Corys are supposed to be schooling fish aren't they? I have 4 adult sized Panda Corys in my tank, and they never hang out together. Is there something missing? I realise 4 isn't enough, but my lfs didn't have any more. They're about 5cm long, the first ones I had were only 2 cm max, 3 were doa...

The lightest one is terrified of movement, I got a couple of good shots yesterday and then my camera died :( They're such polar opposites, the dark one isn't scared of anything, but hangs at the back or in one corner, and the light one scatters as soon as it sees something move but is always at...

I have 4 guppies at the moment, 2 boys and 2 girls. The girls are so fat they must be ready to pop by now, but how long do they normally take to give birth? These guppies have been fat then skinny over and over since I've had them, and not once have I seen even ONE fry. This time they have some...

Thanks AA, it helps but only slightly, both of my rams show bits of both sex's traits, the light one has a larger vent and is barely coloured but has longer tail spines and is scared of everything, the other has turned really dark and got some red on it's fins now, but has a tiny vent and...

I have 2 Bolivian Rams at the moment, and I have no idea what sex they are, but since adding the second one, my original Ram has coloured up heaps and is now really dark. The new ram however is pale white, both flare a bit at each other, but they aren't really fussed about being in the same...

Got another question :) If my filter turns over the tank 16 times an hour, as opposed to only a couple of times an hour, does that make any difference to the amount of fish able to be kept? Obviously I want them all to have as much room as they need to swim around, but just curious if the...

Thanks Fluttermoth, I was afraid of that :/ Never mind, I'll just have to plead for another tank :)

Ok so my tank is only 2x1x1 (55 litres), the current stocking will be (when they arrive) 2 Bolivian Rams 10 Neon Tetras 5 Panda Corys I was hoping to have a couple of centerpiece pairs, I was going to get a pair of Blue Rams but I found out my water is at about ph7.4 and too hard for them. So...

Hi all, I'm Kayla, I've recently discovered tropical fish and I'm loving them! I've just set up a 55 litre tank and so far it only has 4 guppies in it, which will be removed when I get the fish below. (the filter has already been cycled in my 20lt tank for the past month) I just wanted to know...
