As Tongue_Flicker says, as long as she developed it rather than being born with it she should be OK but keep an eye on her in case the bent spine causes her troubles during labour. I would refrain from breeding younger females in case it happens again though :)   Mine was my fault, I should have...

  No I mean, I have tried it and I have to do it daily because it comes back overnight. Mine comes from the air because I have no lid on my tank. It is an open topped tank so dust particles and other stuff in the air land and create the sick "oil" look on top of the water. Hence the "No spraying...

I'd guess(simply because it's happened to me before) that she had a slightly more difficult labour and the strain on her young spine has caused a bend :/   I had a female that gave birth quite young compared to her sisters because I thought she was male when younger(her fin started to thin out...

  If I did that I'd be doing it daily -_- The oil is not harmful, I have it on my tank and have for ages and I have a betta in that tank.......

I said seem to be and even then they are dicey... In a tank try keeping a group of Black Piranha and let me know how you get on :)   I know in the wild they live in school's but in a tank you're lucky to get away with Red Bellies living together let alone anything else :/ My boyfriend has a Red...

  Thanks :) I quite like the darker patch in the middle but the plants there seem to lean which means I have no plants in the middle most of the time XD

  Just the two but thinking about getting a third for the middle as the tank is a little darker there but that's fine as I can just get the smaller model for the middle since it's only to give a little more light

Well firs toff the cory's will need moving ASAP to a different tank.   How big are the Piranha's? What type of Piranha are they? - I'm guessing Red Bellied since they seem the be just about the only Piranha species able to live in a group with some form of peace. What other fish do you have with...

  Nope, about £12 each off eBay :)

I think we're going with the wood underneath to support it all, thanks any way :)   And thanks :) I like them, they do me good lol.

I need help! In approximately 1-2 weeks I have to move both of these tanks from my room upstairs to a van and then from a van to my room in a new house but I cannot remove the substrate, wood or plants from the tank. I can remove the water and fish but not the substrate, wood and plants.   How...

That's a great photo showing what can happen essjay, sorry it happened though :(

Yep BLF got it right on there :) Dragon just means thicker scales :) For example, here's my old non-dragon PK boy, Hades :)   And here's my current Dragon Scale boy, Ori :) He's HMPK :)   (Photo's re-sized so that they didn't take over the thread lol)

Thanks :) They seem to be really healthy. All eating and none of them skinny and underweight. Happily spawning still :lol: They are so fast it's hard to get pictures of them but here's some attempts :)   Also, here's a picture of each mode on my LED lights on my tank :) I always use Blue &...

They are exactly like any other betta :) The only thing to watch for is if the dragon scales start growing over their eyes. I've not had this problem but I've only owned two dragon scales, however, I'm pretty sure the scales will grow over the eyes when all the other scales grow if they are...

Haha, I had to check a 12 inch one before XD as they were sure it was a large Hypostomus not a Pterygoplichthys so I had to catch, hold and count... Was not easy :lol:

  Yeah I love them. I'm not usually a fan of WCMM but these are a lot more colourful and striking than normal so I was like "Hmm.... Maybe I could fit a group in my tank?" hehe. The pictures aren't very good because they were taken not long after they went in lol.   Thanks, yeah they've been...

We're not sure what type he is exactly unfortunately :(   He's definitely a Pterygoplichthys because he has over 10 rays in his dorsal fin(which is how you identify a Pterygoplichthys from other pleco's) :)

Well here's your update..... XD Bit different to what I was hoping to put up :P   My new babies for my tank. As you should know(if you've read this whole thing) I was going to get Brevibora dorsiocellata(Emerald Eye Rasboras) but my wonderful boyfriend had these in and despite their small size...

I am so sorry for the lack of updates! I hope to update later when I get home. My internet has been keeping me off TFF till this weekend because I'm at my boyfriends but have no pictures to share :/

  It definitely is a Sailfin pleco of some form..... I have had conformation from my boyfriend who sells them for a living..... Also, looks exactly like my old Sailfin did when I got him. It might not be a Gibbiceps but there is more than one Sailfin pleco.   For example, Pterygoplichthys...

PewDiePie. Those of you who know him are awesome :lol:

The goldfish will need a bigger tank unfortunately. The Danio will need a bigger tropical tank. The Nerite and the WCMM's will be fine if you up the numbers of the WCMM's :)

  I'm not sure is the tropical temperatures would affect it or not but it's coldwater safe I know that :)

Do you mean these ones? I used to use one of these for my Axolotl when he moved to my ex's house after I could no longer house him  

It depends what you fancy   Lizards - Bearded Dragon, Leopard Gecko, Crested Gecko Snakes - Corn Snakes, Milk Snakes, King Snakes, Royal Python(can be funny eating though), Rat Snakes   The basics for all these reptiles are; A suitable sized viv, Thermostat, Heatmat(Snakes - except royal...

The oil is natural, I have it on my tank. There are many causes, mine is because I don't have a lid on my tank. Yours could be the type of food you feed It's nothing to worry about.   As for the fish/snail.... 1. Pearl Danio(Danio albolineatus) - These grow to a maximum size of 2 inches and...

  These are Corn Snakes and will reach up to 6ft My other two are both over 5ft. I have Sakana my Hypo ph Amel female who is 5ft 6in and Cereus my Butter male who is 5ft 2in Here's the picture I wanted to post last night but it wouldn't let me Couldn't add this as I posted too many images...

  No entirely.   Female livebearers can indeed go sterile. I had a female guppy give birth two times in my tank in the first 2 months of me having her. I had her over a year in total and she stopped giving birth after that. She was being constantly mated by the male, I caught them at it many...

Finally got my new babies   Got them on Tuesday 8th October but they've been left a week to settle in Here's some pics I got while transferring them from their travel tubs to their homes. They are so tiny right now hence the small tubs, they will be upgraded as they need it   So, may I...

Well if it IS a Garter Snake, it wants to be eating pinky mice and lancefish NOT crickets.... Also, PLEASE be careful force feeding a baby snake!!!! They are so fragile it's unbelievable. What I would do is get a pinky mouse, defrost it and brain it. Leave it in the viv/tub, in the dark for 24...

I know XD I have a use for the polybox he came in too :) I can use it to make an incubator for my corn snake breeding next year :)

Ah nice! Nice to see someone who owns True Parrot Cichlids! :lol:   Most of the time you say Parrot Cichlid and people think "Bright orange and smiley things" XD   Sounds good :)

Good, good :) My advice is just keep a close eye on them :) If they start fighting badly then separate but if they are fine then leave them.

  Thanks! I was so excited to receive him :lol: I was bouncing in my seat hehe! And yeah, that's mainly because i have random cuttings from my bigger pants scattered around now though till they grow enough for me to do something with them XD

They are different in my opinion. The body shape is slightly different and the colours are obviously different as True Green Terror's have white along their dorsal and tail and are often called White Saums(I think, this may be a third species though I'm not sure... That it confuses me) :)   As...

Guess who turned up today!!! :D   He still has no name but I'm working on it lol.   I ended up having to take the black background off while he settles in as he did nothing but flare at it as soon as he went in :/   Anyway, most recent tank pictures :lol: I used two different camera...

It's not a Green Terror lol. It's a Gold Saum :) True Green Terror's are very rare in the hobby. And it does look female but it depends on the age and size of the fish. If it's a male over 6 inches it should have a hump but they are all different :)

Definitely not a Clown Pleco(Panaqolus maccus) and I know that because I was going to get one lol. Could possibly be one of the smaller Sailfin species though looking at the dorsal shape and speckling like Pterygoplichthys parnaibae(no common name) which supposedly only get's to 11.5 inch...
