What size of tank do you have them in and are they on their own? I have corries in most of my tanks and I see the odd fry that has managed to survive, but most inevitably get eaten. I'm not trying to breed them but I have a couple of spare tanks atm and it might be interesting to try this.

My whiteclouds go outside in the summer. The temperature probably gets as low as 10 at night, but I wouldn't try to keep them above 24.

Guppies and rams are unlikely to both thrive as they have much different requirements. All the other fish you mentioned prefer softer water , except for guppies.

Was all going so well until you mentioned guppies.

Very nice tank

I think the easiest route would be to leave the snails and be careful feeding. Of course if your snails don't get much to eat, your shrimp won't either unless you can think of creative ways of feeding them.

I love beachcombing for wood and other stuff for my tanks. Never thought of taking a jigsaw with me. I often find big logs that are far too big for my needs.

I should have enough to fill up a medium size aircraft in the next week or so. I would dearly like to get rid of all of it.

Maybe start from the top with some water lettuce. The roots will soon stretch at least half way down.

That sounds hopeful.

It is indeed a ramshorn. I looked at first 2 pics and decided it was a pond snail. I didn't look at the other pics which clearly show what it is.:wub:

Not a ramshorn, its a pond snail.

Either the glofish or the livebearers will probably be suited to your water, but it's unlikely both will be. Livebearers will be more comfortable in water that is 10 GH (general hardness) and over, Softwater fish (like most of the tetras and south American cichlids will do better in water under...

I have pretty soft water and haven't had trouble growing val over the years. Just the opposite.

. This is my Juwel Vision 260. Fish include 2 large male angels, 1 small female who never grew for some reason. about a dozen rosy tetras, white cloud mountain minnows, 7 big fat SIA's 3 Honey Gouramis, 3 different shoals of Corydoras (about 25 in total) and a pair of Apisto McMasteri.

Lovely wee fish, are you planning on putting them in with your puffer?

Young midas cichlid IMO

Some LFS are great, other's particularly the chains can be not so great. I'm lucky to have two good shops near me. One independent and one chain. The thing they have in common is that they employ people who are obviously hobbyists.

Looks better IMO

They are, particularly when in full breeding coloration. Dwarf cichlids (the most commonly kept are apistogramma species) are better in a single cichlid species tank. You can keep them with lots of other fish but with other dwarf cichlids its unlikely to work out. ! males can be kept with 1 or...

28 years is amazing. Well done for looking after him/her so well for so long.

One of my favourite cichlids is anomalochromis thomasi. A very peaceful and beautiful small cichlid. this is a video I made a few years ago. The male just recently passed away but I have a few of his descendants in my tanks.

It's something that used to be common practice, people would routinely add salt to all their tanks. More recently I think the theory that it is beneficial has been mostly debunked. I for one don't use it, particularly as most of my tanks have corydoras in them. While it may be fine for some hard...

Hoping for the best for you Byron. All the best.

Doesn't look like vallisneria to me.

Heteranthera zosterifolia?

I bought a betta solely because my grandson wanted one. I hadn't kept a betta since my early days of fishkeeping and although they are beautiful I had no great desire to keep one. I was loathe to take up a whole 60 litre tank to house one fish so I planted it fairly densely and put in a nerite...

Because I am commenting on the pics in the monthly contest

OK Speedtest tells me I am getting an average 376 mbps. I still can't load the entry pics. Is there a size limit for them? I would have voted in the last comp but couldn't.

I use Ookla, ATM its running about 130MBPS but I usually get about 400MBPS, It's a really fast connection.

I have a fairly powerful PC and very fast broadband, yet pictures are taking forever to load. (not just in this section). Are the pics particularly large? or is there some other reason. Twice I've went to vote and have given up. I still haven't seen all the pics.

Hello

I think your stocking list will work well whichever you choose. Everyone will have their own favourites but it's down to your own preferences.

I've put some frogbit in too, I'll see how that goes. I don't expect most of the plants to survive past september, but I'm hoping they make it through the summer. I'm also planning on putting fish in once they warm up a bit. White clouds for sure (I have dozens of these plus a tank of fry), and...

Rosy barb. It looks a strange shape. I hope they aren't breeding Balloon versions of these. Maybe it's just fat.

You could meet up at Barnard Castle, apparently its ok to drive there. You could say you were testing your eyesight.

I recently bought some half whisky barrels and lined them with pond liner to make some little outdoor ponds. I live in Scotland and although at this time of year it can be quite warm during the day, at night its a bit colder. I'm planning on trying some of my aquarium plants in the barrels...

I put my white clouds outside last year and they did fine. The downside is that they aren't easy to see from above. Your gold whiteclouds should stand out better. Mine didn't breed in the tub as far as I know but spawned as soon as I brought them back inside. I bought some half whisky barrels...
