Is it worth trying to breed them at all? Is it very difficult? and what is the likelyhood they will breed low numbers like my guppies who only breed 5-6 at a time ? I would not breed if they will have 100 fry but upon reading an article it says they will, yet articles also say the same about...

Just to add to this, I'm a bit confused as to why there is brown stuff in both Betta and Goldfish tank which are next to one another and I may have transferred water lettuce from one to the other. Most likely from goldfish tank to betta and this may have been how it was introduced. I could be...

I actually got rid of most of them because I hate slimey things and I cannot stand the snails who I can see out of the shell. I can only tolerate nerites because you cannot see anything but shell. I saw one two weeks ago amd decided to leave it. They move super fast, and GROW super fast!! Are...

I also thought bloodworm is larvae. I should check what else it might be... @Byron perhaps you can suggest the article name where it explains bloodworm issues? Meanwhile I'll see if I can find.

Ah yes, the mosquito larvae is what I meant to mention.. @Byron so, if the main ingredient in the bug bites in black fly larvae, would frozen mosquito larvae and frozen daphnia compete in terms of a staple diet? Because I have a freezer full of mosquito larvae right now lol

I checked fluval bug bites ingredients and the main ingredient is just black fly larvae. It is as other types I checked filled out with wheat flour, and the long list of supplements I am unfamiliar with the names of and therefore have alot to research to make sense of this, as until now I have...

Why do people feed fry live foods if the prepared foods have more nutrients? I feed this brand, and have been feeding my guppy fry the Red Rotifers item. I also bought cyclops, krill for all fish ans the veggie item for my goldfish (they come towards it and then go away again as though they...

Okay, fair points. Why do people feed fry live foods if the prepared foods have more nutrients?

Very helpful thanks :)

Yeah I pretty think they do the same for human food. My other flakes brand just lists "cereals" which could also be wheat. I'd prefer not to feed anything cereals and wheat tbh which doesn't eat it in nature. I don't feed any food to my cats either that lists cereals. Thanks for the input. I...

I was going to buy the bug bites,.I'll go ahead. I had until now read that frozen is best. Are you referring to flaked when you said "prepared"? I'm feeding guppies, tetras, a betta female and 3 goldfish. Why bloodworm once per week max? Is it too high in protein? I'm a bit confused why...

What should the fibre content be? Here is a photo, thoughts?

I added it to my shrimp tank and its doing OK. I'm now considering adding it to other tanks but just read that hornwort releases a chemical which inhibits the growth of other plants. It said you might see other plants die off after adding it. My shrimp tank only has moss. The moss has slowed...

I ordered Cobalt flakes since they were recommended as a high quality flaked foods on some reviews article, I wanted some flakes for small feedings between my frozen high protein feedings as I imagine I'm over feeding protein with the frozen stuff. However, I didnt check the ingredients and...

They race to the surface though, there's no stopping them. My only methods of sharing the food fairly so they don't get too much is to spread around the food so they can't swim to it as quick.

CO2 is necessary or created within the tank?

Is it still likely spawning if they're leaning to one side when swimming?

Has anyone tried to keep guppies with cherry shrimp? I've read here someonhas cherry shrimp in their community tank but I've also been advised to not keep shrimp with fish in general. I want to separate my male and female guppies to stop them breeding as the tank is becoming overstocked. I'm...

So perhaps they are egg bound and I can have a look at how to help them release those eggs. What's your advice about avoiding them becoming obese? Should consider separating them so I can control feeding better?

What purpose do the "non plant food" ingredients serve?

I've got these two fat glowlight tetras who are consistently fat and I'm starting to wonder maybe it's not just bloating. I've never had tetras get pregnant, and I'm really hoping it's not parasites because they're vigorous eaters and dont show any sign of ill health, none of my fish do. If it...

Hi. Can anyone explain the difference between seachem flourish, advance and comprehensive? They all state micronutrients and say to use the individual Seachem NPK, bottles for macronutrients. Also, where does seachem iron come into use when the micro nutrient list on the above consists of...

Do shrimps or snails eat this? It grows super fast. Oh I read that but they're all fed the same food and I use the same equipment for water changes, the same tap water. There's nothing unique about the tank.

But i have never had this in my main tank and don't have it in my other 2 new tanks. No idea where it could have come from. Do shrimps or snails eat this? It grows super fast.

Thanks for sharing this.
