Hi folks,    I've got a new tank to set up for my new house and I'm going to have it planted.    I've been reading up about the best substrate to use.   I'm only going to be running with low light plants, really for ease as it is the first proper effort of planting. (done it before with smaller...

Yeah, I've put her into the main tank. The only issue I have with that is incase they get eaten. Any that I see I'll catch and stick them in the box.    Ta

She's in a breeder box, it has a segregation unit for the kiddies. 

Morning all, yesterday I noticed one of my guppies had given birth, I now have 4 fry. Nothing else since 3pm yesterday though and she is still pretty big. Her gravid spot looked red this morning and she is pooing red. Is this normal for a birthing guppie. Any advice on how I go on with this...

I didn't have her in the breader box at the time but her tail started to go white, which was similar to the other two guppies that died earlier in the week.    I had my water tested before I bought the fish, through a different pet shop, they didn't give me the parameters or anything like that...

No more pregnant guppy. Thats all 3 gone now, the shop I got them from couldn't care less. Won't be going back there. They tried to blame my water, which I had checked before I bought the fish. All other fish I bought are fine so it couldn't have been the water anyway. 

I had initially planned on putting the guppy into a birthing box as she was about to give birth and then keep the fry in there until a decent enough size, I did think that the goldfish would pose a problem.   The goldfish was rescued by a friend, and I then took him as he was emptying his tank...

He folks,    I bought 3 female and one male guppy at the weekend, unfortunately 2 of the females have died and left me with one which is pregnant.   Here is a picture of her here, ignore her tank mates.     The questions I have are:- How pregnant is she? Should I segregate her in a birthing...

Excellent, thanks.    I'm sure my lighting system is a 15w and with the tank only being 10 gallon it gives a ratio of 1.5/1 Which I have read before is ample.    Might look into the liquid carbon, sounds like a good idea. 

I previously posted on here a mess that I ended up making when putting plants into my tank. I had a bit of bog wood and used superglue to attach it. I've pulled all that out now, the moss wasn't growing as I had liked it too, maybe it was the superglue stopping the moss from growing.  I was...

Superglue also turns the moss white, as I found out the other week. lol

Excellent Dan, thanks for the advice. 

Hey folks, Newb here.   I have just planted my second batch of java moss and decided to glue it this time.    I think I have used a bit too much glue as the moss has gone a bit white. Is that common, will it grow out in time.    Whats the best method of storing left over moss. I have a decent...
