The eggs looked infertile from the picture to me from the spawn. They're not usually white like that. Should take 3-5 days to hatch, although I had Weitzmani hatch at 7 days once. After 10 days with "mould" they will definitely be no good. Best way to hatch them and avoid the fungus taking...

I like to have slot something in to rocks if I have a few in a tank. Ps, I recognise that cat 👀

Thank you. I know of planet catfish and use it for everything in terms of research, but I thought the forum had died a death, like many others, but there have been a few posts in the past couple of days so I've asked in there.

Need a UK site 😁 I can get them from Amazon but I wasn't sure if the size.

I could, but I really don't like unnatural looks. They are also round, which I want to avoid to stop the Keyhole Cichlids joining him.

Thank you. The stuffed food was more for attraction than anything else. It isn't something I'll be doing regularly. What sized cave would be appropriate? I'll have to order online as none of the shops near me stock stuff like that.

No, they are the most docile cichlids going. Massively underated fish for a decent sized community in my opinion.

Just reduce the photo period a bit, and keep on top of cleaning it off. Is it fairly new?

I have an empty tank in my fish room at the moment so I've got some soup on the go. Shutting it down this evening though so I can raise some keyhole fry.

I show pictures of my notebook, rather than list them. My name is Ben, and I'm an addict 😜

They are beauties, just want mine to look his best again.

Hi everyone. I have a sultan pleco who has been doing so well recently for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I couldn't get it to eat, but have managed to tempt it onto some courgette stuffed with bugbites, so I'm optimistic that this will turn around quickly. My second question is what size...

That's a great nuchal hump on the angel!

Any aerosols used in the house will have contaminated the water. I wouldn't use it.

I've had an exciting couples days in the Apisto tank 😍. Mum is doing a fantastic job so far. If they swim off she picks them up and returns them to the group, and most of the other fish have quickly learnt not to bother her!

Depending on tank size and water hardness, I have Bolivian Rams and Keyhole cichlids with mine. Works very well.

People have to eat what's available to them. If "ornamental" fish are easy to catch in a location, then it's going to be eaten. It's the same with insects, seen a stand in Thailand with all sorts of bugs for eating. Not sure I fancy dwarf gourami, or bugs though. I believe Basa fillets that we...

It was a curry...

There is a recipe for deep fired dwarf Gourami's out there somewhere. Came across it years ago.

I'd say scrap the Betta as others have said. There's always exceptions where it works, but generally they're not good with other fish. What about a pair of dwarf cichlids if you have soft water? Blue rams, Bolivian rams of Apistos would work nicely in that tank. I'm a big Apisto fan...

What fish do you hope to get?

Hi! The tank looks awesome! I'm a fan of "pest" snails. They clean up any excess food and a bit of algae. Plus, if you're over feeding their population will explode so you know to cut back. Good luck with the cycle, I'm currently doing 4 fishless cycles 😀 Cheers, Ben.

Thanks! The Keyholes have their moments looking a bit stressed, 1 of them in particular. I have 4 males so they're quite friendly without lady to scrap about! They're massively under rated fish in my opinion!

Hi Everyone. I have posted here a few times before, but not many. It looks quite active here so I thought I'd reintroduce myself 👋. I have been keeping fish for about 11 years, mostly with South American communities, and a brief foray into Discus and Mbuna cichlids that were both unsuccessful...
