Heya, I know they're different types of Gourami to yours but I have two honey Gourami in the same tank as a female guppy and they don't seem to interact much if at all? Like you said, just keep an eye out on the first few days :) good luck and sorry for you loss to Ich! :/

Cories go a cream colour, (maybe a hint of yellow in some breeds I don't know) if they're fertilised and should get noticable black dots where eyes are inside the eggs as they develop. Best bet is to get a very finely meshed breeders net and place the eggs in there. Get a good flow of water into...

Oh right! Silly me, it was probably brown sand i was thinking of! Sorry about that :) Is there any other substrate you prefer?? Cheers!

Actually, I think your idea is better, if i was to do it the way you suggest, would you just put all the eggs from the main tank to the straight into the fry tank an leave them or let them hatch in a breeders net then transfer them? Might give it a go!  Cheers Fluttermoth 

I usually raise them in the breeders net in the parent tank and when they're a bit bigger I release them into their own tank, simply because i usually have a couple of different age stage cory babies going at the same time and i find the older cory fry eat the smaller ones! My lasers have been...

Welcome to the forums! 

Is this suitable for aqua scaping??  I'm planning my first aqua scape, it's a 8 litre tank (very small) so what sort of plants would you suggest, i was thinking bog wood with moss and carpet plants..? Thanks Imogen. 

Thanks for the link mtbdean! Very helpful! Would it be outrageous to keep a single guppy fry in it until it big enough to be added to the main tank??  Thanks again! 

So my Dad just came home with a 'Betta Cube Mini, Acrylic Aquarium' for me. I've measured it and it comes to 220mm x 17mm x 22mm which is about 8 litres (i think..?). Now the question is: Can i put anything in this tiny tank other than shrimp?  Thanks Imogen.   

So, either my Lasers, Bronze or Panda cories have spawned but i have nowhere to put the eggs except in the breeders net .However I already have one, 1 week old Guppy fry in the breeders net atm. Will the guppy fry eat the eggs?? Or the Cory fry when they hatch?? Cheers, Imogen.

Awwh your dog is so cute! always wanted a jack russel!!

Heya, what size tank are you upgrading to? 

It's a 120 litre planted tank. 10 neon tetra, 2 honey gourami,  1 guppy and 6 Panda Cory. I've just bought a 180 litre tank which I'm doing a fishless cycle at the moment, so i will put any future male fry in that tank and any female can stay in the 120 tank or go to a friends tank.  Sorry about...

Very good point, Thanks!

Great Tank, very jealous! 

Thanks, that was great! As for separating, if i wanted to put her in a breeders box when should i do it?  Cheers!

Also, how far would you say she is off giving birth (if she is pregnant) Just to work out when to put her in the breeder box :) Cheers!

Hi, i bought one female guppy just over a month ago and since then it has gotten rather rounded. I'm guessing she is pregnant but i thought i'd post a picture so you guys could confirm it or other wise   If she is pregnant i have no idea what to do!! Especially because i don't have room for any...

They're so adorable! It's fascinating watching them grow to adults from babies 

For me, it's usually a couple of days after i first notice the 'dance' that eggs appear. Patience 

I like your newest idea. Hows everything going? 

Jealous!!  

Prefer the new placement! It looks great, wish I was that creative!! 

I know this was posted at christmas, but wanted to say - your cats are Beautiful! Very Jealous!

Wow! I'm not usually a spider person but those tarantulas are amazing! Do you breed them to keep or to sell? How many breeds of tarantula do you own? Cheers, Imogen

I've used both and in my opinion, a regular siphon is more practical that the battery pump.

Thats crazy! I need neighbours like yours! 

Welcome to the forums :) 

Hi Blah111, i was thinking of maybe some sort of shoaling fish rather than frogs although I am very tempted! Any thoughts on any fish?  Thanks!

Hey! I have a 4 year old 30 gallon community fish tank that's very heavily planted and has sand substrate. The occupants are 6 Bronze Cory, 6 neon tetra and a pair of dwarf flag cichlids.  The question is: What fish can/should I add?  Thanks,  Imogen.

There were about 100 eggs an now only about 20. I have Neon and Cardinal tetras, bonze, peppered and panda cory cat fish, honey gourami and a male dwarf gourami. What should i do with the remaining eggs then? Thanks

The question is, is how do I look after the fry? I've bred many fish species before but have never bred Cichlids. They have laid all there eggs all over the leaves and are guarding them but, I really want them to survive so could i put the eggs in a breeding net on the side of the tank? What do...
