been home and watching them for the past hour. They're all ove the tank now :) One is an endler cross (I can tell by his markings/colouring) the other... looks similar, but more yellow and no obvious endler markings. They're both pretty though. Just a shame the lemon died... thats the one I...

you bad bad man! THINK OF THE FISHIES!!! :P if your water is clean and parameters are fine and you dont have 3 foot fish in a 4 foot tank, you know when enough is enough. What do they want yyou to do? add filters until it resembles a washing machine?

95% (take off a guppy from my sig as I lost one overnight :-( ) EDIT * lol it added 8% for the shrimp >.<

I'll need to get another male though right? to offset the domination bullying from the pair of males?

:sad: Woke up this morning, turned the lights on, he wasnt hiding in his usual spot, I looked around the tank and he was laid dead on the bottom :-( Water is fine, so must just be stress from being moved?

just asking my friend if he can pick it up for me

ooh ooh.... 2 laps of the tank... each time hiding in the spot above the filter... ooh... 3 as I've typed this :D.... aaaand back to hiding... the other 2 are venturing a little lower into the tank, infact one has just been to the bottom corner to visit the shrimp :D Here's hoping the yellow...

water is fine. I did a 30% water change and gravel vac on friday. 0 - 0 - 20-40 water stats.. :S temp is 26 as always. he just seems so sad :( here's hoping he's just taking a little long to acclimate :)

I floated the bag for 20 minutes, then every 10 - 15 minutes for the next hour and a half I added half a cup of my tank water (gently). Then I netted them in the bag and added them to the tank.

Hey All I got 3 male guppies yesterday to add some colour to the top part of my tank, yet I have some questions/worries... 2 of them spend their time swimming close together right at the surface of the water. They occaisionally venture a quarter of the way down into the tank and then swim...

I've never seen any moss in any of my lfs's. I always get mine on here in the classifieds section and they're always reasonably priced

I'm going to get one of those little stone bridge type ornaments too for him to hide in. Stick some xmas moss to the top and create a hidey hole :)

I'd hope not... but I worry. Also, I wouldn't know how to make it level if it wasn't :S

Argh! I wish I had room for another tank, but I only have my bedroom - the joys of living at home after finishing Uni. I tried to persuade my mum to have a little shrimp tank on top of the fridge, but no such luck. I could probably fit the 96 litre tank from work in my room with a stand, but...

What a difference!! Went out and bought some tall plants... made a little hidey area around the filter with a plant and an ornament (he usually hides near the filter), and 2 more plants near the back of the tank... He spent 2 hours playing in his area near the filter, swimming around the leaves...

I'm going to the lfs today, so I'll have a look at the plants there. The last tall plants I had he ripped to pieces. I might try some tall fake plants? I don't like this option, as I'd prefer the real thing, but if he's destroying every living plant I put in, then I may not have any choice...

hey guys... I've posted this in gourami section, I just need help and fast... watching the big bully is getting upsetting now :( I have a red dwarf gourami, and he's bullying my tetras to the point where they are sticking to the bottom of the tank and hiding all the time. Every time they come...

The fact that you even consider putting fish in to see if they live or not states that fish keeping isn't for you... You should do everything you can to ensure that FISH DON'T DIE! Causing an animal to suffer needlessly (even if you think 6 hours isn't long) is just down right cruel. Asking...

hello I have a red dwarf gourami, and he's bullying my tetras to the point where they are sticking to the bottom of the tank and hiding all the time. Every time they come out, he chases them and headbutts them. I know I need to rehome him, but I was wondering: a) would it be ok to keep him in...

errm... is that 3 I count from the first pic???? what the hell???

*cough* £75 full set up, just add fish Just needs a clean is all... but no stand like you're after :(

yeah, shrimp don't eat the glass algae... just buy a magnetic glass cleaner. They're only maximum a fiver and just go over the glass once a week. Also, you'll need moss for the shrimp, so that should take up some of the algae's nutrients. Marimo moss balls are supposed to help with absorbing...

o..o.o.one hundred snail babies?? :blink: how do you cope with so many? I really do think that the initial fish in cycling will have had something to do with it. Don't worry about it, we all make mistakes. neon tetra disease?? :crazy: how does this manefest? as I've got one neon tetra at...

red cherry shrimp are adorable little shrimp and, as said, would contrast with the red. You could easy have 5 or 6 in a 5 gallon. If she has her heart set on blue, you can even get blue shrimp :) But, again as said, they are very susceptible to poor water, so you would have to check why the...

I can take some reds off you hun. I could pick them up too one weekend :) pm me oh, and what species are they? neo's or cari's?

ack I never thought about that Kat... hmmm this is a tricky one :S

Guppies guppies guppies!! :D I love reading other peoples posts as I find out loads of info... so... would 3 male guppies be bad aggression wise? I've found out (through the wonderful people on here) that the 1" per gallon rule is false... although really if you say this to new people, then...

+1 with Kittykat... any level of ammonia over prolonged periods will reduce lifespan. Also, was your tank fully cycled when you put them in? As high toxicity levels at the start can damage fish long term even if it doesn't kill them :S Harlequins live 4 yrs minimum (I rescued some recently that...

ooh guppys... never thought about that.... I could get a couple of males. Any input onto whether my tank could take the stocking of 2 - 3 male guppys?

Hi All So... here I have my 48 litre tank... with 6 neon tetras and a dwarf gourami... and I rarely see anything lately... The gourami has a mad half hour every now and again and swims side to side (like he's patrolling) the front of the glass, other than that he spends his time what looks...

bump (rummy is possibly rehomed)

o_O what ate them all???

ok thats weird, I only just saw tizers comment :blink: stupid network here. I'm hoping to sort something out with Shogun, if not then I'll see about posting to you Tizer. She just "hovers" above a piece of mopani root all the time, and occaissionally plays with her reflection in the glass...

oh wow thats fantastic news! I'll have a word with my friend who drives me places and see if he'll drive me over. Or we could maybe meet half way? Only problem is, I can't do it at weekends, as the tank is at work and we're a school so shut at weekends :/

Please note this has 1 (yes one lonely) rummy nosed tetra in it that was hiding for over a week... I need to rehome her first or if someone is willing to put rummys in this tank then that would also be awesome! oh... and ... BUMP :)

my pH is that and I have no problems with my fish or shrimp. They're all shiney scaled and healthy looking. That's practically neutral so I don't think that would be a problem for many (any?) fish.

Not sure if I should fill out the sales form as it's pretty basic (mods tell me to get my backside into gear if I should). Basically, I have one very lonely rummy nosed tetra who is in need of a home. I would rather her be collected from DONCASTER, or I could possibly deliver her locally...

my boss is an #17#####... I rescued these fish from the upper school (split site) so they're school property, they just weren't being looked after, so it's not as if the school is paying for extra electricity. if anything they're paying less as I have a 50w smaller heater and a smaller in tank...

I've been told that celestial danios (or galaxy rasboras) will be fine in my 96 litre and that's 76cm long...?

Ok, so some of you may know about the tank I had at work where I rescued 3 rummy nosed tetras and 4 harlequin rasboras, which died pretty quickly as a reult of shock and new/old (lways get confused) tank syndrome.... I did head counts, and they were all missing, fished out by me after they had...
