Ok so seems everybody was as confused as me. Well im even more at a loss this evening as ive returned from work and whatever is was has gone?! Fish seems ok and no trace of any ailment .... Alls well that ends well i suppose :-D

Hi folks A platy of mine has been looking a bit off colour for a day or so, and ive now just noticed a white growth on its back. Like a loose flap of skin or an extra fin kinda.... anybody any ideas on what it could be? I want to have an idea what i need to treat for before jumping in uninformed

  Honestly, that was my first thought when the first couple came. Just kinda concerned me once the leaves started to discolour and were taken over.    So all is well then...?  Will they go green again then.......what next?  thanks for putting my mind at rest 

Recently i added a couple new plants to my aquarium. honestly have no idea what they are but they had nice, bright green leaves. After maybe a week or so i noticed what appeared to be a hairy, red coloured kind of 'root' growing from one of the leaves. Slowly but surely theyve sprouted from...

i like the sound of that, thanks guys  i think thats the way forward!

that looks great! and you just have the betta in there?

shrimp sounds good. will also look into that thanks

thats definitely something thats entered my mind! i know the size will really dictate whats possible, so i turned to you guys for some inspiration!

ok i already have a thriving 100L tank on the go, and now ive been given a small tank that was cluttering a colleagues shed. i obviously wasnt going to turn down a free tank set up, and originally only planned it to be a quarantine tank. or maybe to provide a separate home for fry.   however...

same thing happened to me, i manged to find a couple of survivors hiding. after advice from these forums i got them into a breeding box and just kept them separated until they were big enough to not fit into the others mouths. theyre doing great now and getting quite big! hope you manage to save...

yes i know, its a temporary home as i had to move the tank. the cabinet isnt under it all the way no, but i have taken temp. measures to support it. mustve taken the pic before id put it back under. thanks for pointer though, very eagle eyed! ;-)

thought id come back onto this post and share my progress.   i still have 4 of the original 6 Danios, 2 mollies and 1of2 guppies....... I spent a bit of time trying to get the tank looking well and added a few plants to provide cover and bogwood, along with a few Spongebob Squarepants figures (2...

hi guys, I want a new filter and wondered if anybody could point me in the direction of a suitable one for my 100L tank.The one i have works fine, but its getting old and also its is the kind that came with the tank and is housed in a large black box in corner of tank. I want that space back...

My tank seems to be missing something. i have 100L tank decorated with some nice greenery and a small driftwood. Currently i have a few Danios, couple of Mollies and 5 Peppered Cory at the bottom. But still it seems empty. Firstly is there room for more fish? and if so what can i get to inject...

Ah thanks. Sounds like some good advice! I dont have any aggressive fish, only danios mollies and guppies at moment so should be ok. Ill keep them separated until such a time i think theyll fend for themselves. Thanks everyone for input :-)

Ok thanks for the advice. I will do that. All advice is welcomed so cheers!

So as long as they cant fit in the mouths of other fish theyll be good? Fend for themselves ok and be able to compete for food etc?

I managed to find just 4 babies. Theyre happily growing stronger in a floating breeding pot and seem to be well. How big must they be to be able to fend for themselves? They seem expert hiders as i found these ones all hiding in crevices within/under bogwood but dont want to release them to...

wont be until tomorro now but thought that might be the only way. Just have to hope that they can make it thru the night then. Its hard enough to spot them though, reckon catching them may prove difficult. is it near impossible for them to survive? Also out of curiosity, how many is there...

I bought a couple female mollies only yesterday and it would appear that one was pregnant! Have spotted a few tiny fish knocking about. Obviously i wasnt expecting to have this happen so soon and was totally unaware that my new addition was 'with child', but how likely are they to survive...

Great thanks for the feedback guys. Ill get looking into some more fish probably after xmas now. Once i feel im getting somewhere i will get some pics uploaded onto here! Have a good xmas

Thanks for the reply i was hoping this would be the answer, as i was thinking the same and wanted to get more fish just didnt want to dive straight in there and get too many..... Also im definately going to get more live plants in there. i do have fine gravel and so will look into the cory's...

hi, im just feeling my way around these forums but thought id jump straight in. i have had some great advice from my brother who also keeps fish, and have managed to set up a reasonable tank. it is cycled and now home to 4 zebra danios, 1 leopard danio, 1 golden danio, 2 mollies and 2 guppies...
