It's a Sailfin. Not a Clown Pleco.

I'm going to keep trying, I always make sure he has access to food but can't live rocks covered in algae in the tank took long as don't want the algae to coat the tank too if he's not going to eat it :/

I've tried the rock trick :( Untouched apart from snail trails through it :/   Haha! Thanks :) I'm happy with the growth in the tank and the wood is pretty nice :lol:   I know, I know lol. Just impatient to get my boy and some life you can actually see swimming around in the tank haha.

Most recent pictures and proof of the little bit of life I have in my tank. Unfortunately my male betta won't be arriving till this week now as there were problems with delivery last Thursday -_-     I am having a problem with my Chaetostome formosae though :/ He's suddenly stopped eating again...

1 - French Angelfish 2 - Blue Damselfish 3 - Another Blue Damselfish 4 - A Grouper of some form, once again don't know which 5 - Volitans Lionfish    Edit: Did some searching and found out what Damselfish species they were :)

Equipment make: Unknown. Just a simple Light Unit and 30 Inch 25 Watt Interpet Tropical Daylight T8 Bulb.   Quantity for sale: 1.   Reason for Sale: No Longer Needed as changed my lights.   Delivery or Collection: Collection ONLY as I can't post a light bulb and light unit due to the very high...

  Yeah… I refrained from suggesting that my recommendation is a minimum, even though IME it really is     A 20 high(if at least 2ft) can fit 6 Panda Corys in but I wouldn't keep Skunk Corys in them as they get chunky whereas Panda's are a slimmer and smaller species :) They are equally as...

  I did say "100% of male...." :/ I wouldn't breed them with anything if I'm completely honest. There's no need really. But anyway, I answered your question :)

As far as I'm aware, 100% of male Parrot Cichlids are infertile and so there will be no successful spawns from them.

  Minimum groups size for corys and tetra's is 6+ :) Bigger is always better though.   As for the length of the tank, that was my point. Mine is an 87l(19G) tank and is 30 inch long so a 75l tank is definitely smaller. Especially if it's high rather than long. I went to edit my post after I...

Sticklebacks can be aggressive but only towards their own species. However, as for pond mates for them... That's when you have to be careful as Sticklebacks are very small so even a goldfish could try eating them and then because of the spines you loose two fish in one go.

I'd say re-home the Bolivian Ram rather than the Molly. Bolivians do much, much better in groups of 6+ as they like to create a hierarchy and are social fish. I was thinking of getting some but my tank isn't big enough for a group to go in and neither is yours as yours is actually smaller than...

  I got it off eBay for about £13 :)

  Ah, didn't notice that :( Sorry about that. 

Betta's and Guppies aren't able to co-exist due to the fact that the betta's mistake the fancy guppy tails as other betta's and attack them like this.

Yep :) A beautiful VT(Veil Tail). Gorgeous fish! :D

Lol, you can have them anywhere in the UK :) The Transhipper get's them imported and then when you buy one she sends it out to you :)

Def Leppard - Rock Of Ages XD

Not sure how many exactly but she has around about 300 females just from this shipment plus however many males(over 50 I think) so yeah..... Lol.

  In one way, YES! In another I don't envy her as she had to unpack 3 big boxes of betta's on Friday to get them all settled into small holding tanks so they were ready for their photo spree yesterday and so on :lol:

  Technically yes but I didn't buy him on AB. The Transhipper I use get's any that people request/buy from AB and then she get's loads of extra's in that she sells off herself when they arrive. He was one of the extra's :) And yes, definitely well worth the price!

I know! Was so happy to win him. For some reason I want to call him Spock but I'll see what he's like and name him when I have him :lol:   His price tag was a shot to my bank account though at £25 

Oops! A slight addition to the tank after tonight! So this one makes the stock list; 2x Nannacara anomala 6-8x Corydoras panda 6-8x Brevibora dorsiocellata 1x Chaetostoma formosae &............... 1x Gorgeous Male HMPK Betta splendens! (This picture is the sellers picture, he'll be here next...

I'm a huge Laetacara curviceps fan compared to Apisto's Just personal opinion is all.

My guppies must be savage then lol. Mine never leave the fry so when I do have guppies I try to have them in a heavily planted tank so that the fry can hide straight away. I still only manage to raise about 10 from each batch but that doesn't bother me as I don't want to raise 50+ babies from...

  I've found guppies to be worse for eating fry than mollies. I used to leave fry with my female mollies(males in a separate tank) and the females wouldn't touch them. One gave birth to 38 and all 38 of them made it to adulthood. My guppies, however, never missed a chance to eat their fry.

BLF: I'm not sure but I've had him nearly 18 months and he's still healthy and strong. Becomes a monster around food though :lol:   Snazy: Thanks :) Yeah, they are doing good. I'm glad I found out about this soil method lol.    I'm away for the weekend(as usual) so no more picture updates for now :(

It's all opinion. I'm not saying mine is the only right answer, just like no-one else is saying that theirs is the only right answer. It's opinion :)

  I know :) I was just saying that there are smaller danio's for people who don't own a 3ft tank and want danio's. Just in case someone reads this and thinks "Oh... Well I want danio's but don't have a 3ft tank...." 

Nope :) It's freshwater. Always has been in freshwater since I got him nearly 18 months a go :)

Ahaha! They sound like characters! :lol: I want one! 

  See my thoughts exactly. Going by bare minimum I'd say 3ft like I have but bigger is always better as I mentioned :)

  Would they? I've always heard that 2ft is the bare minimum as they are still danio's and still need space to swim lol. I was thinking of getting a group for my tank, how many do you think would work in there? The link is in my signature. I've decided against the Emerald Eye Rasboras that I was...

What breed are they? They are stunning! Would love horses but not got the money to own them or board them :(

Late update time!!! :D   Full tank shot last night - And you get to see my lights lol. Oh and I have random small clippings of Cabomba and Ludwigia scattered around the tank(planted) that are too small to do anything with so I'm "Growing them on" before I decide whether or not to keep or sell...

I personally would say 3ft. I remember how long my 3ft was and I know how big Zebra Danio's get and how active they are. This is a poll for the minimum and in my mind 3ft is the minimum. 4ft will always be better though.   Now, if you'd been on about Celestial Pearl Danio's(Galaxy Rasboras) I'd...

Whereabouts are you? I'm in Sheffield, S14 and can spare a little bit from both my tanks for you :) Both mature tanks. What size filter is it going int oas I can't spare much(already low from sparing for other people lol) but can do my part :)

I'm not a huge fan of inbreeding as it can cause deformities and genetic weaknesses that can ruin an animal, no matter what animal it is. However, animals like fish can be inbred quite a bit to strengthen the genetic line sometimes and Snakes(most reptiles actually) can be inbred once to improve...

Momma8404: I posted a picture of my PK male further up to compare :) I know he was male as I bred him to the Combtail female I also put up hehe.

Yes I did sorry. Should have mentioned that lol. I knew they started the research by injecting jellyfish genes into the eggs but now the fish are bred and they re-produce these horridly bright fish naturally.
