really? .. i've just caught it and put it into the bigger fish tank so maybe the stress from catching it has done that then?    thanks for clarifying it for me. 

Got some better photos (it came to the glass at the side of the tank) ... as you can see it seems to have lighter shade of strips over its head and then down its body.    Many thanks in advance   (photos are up on my first post)

i totally understand, i took about 10 photos and that was the best because of the position its in, i will try get more :) 

I have a Pleco, I thought it was a common Pleco but the colourings and pattern is different to my other common Pleco, so it got me wondering if this is something different. Many thanks in advance. The Pleco is about 5-6 inch long From the tip of it's tail to the front of it's mouth. Sorry the...

The fire eel is about 8-10 inch, not sure how old. I have a roughly 400 litre tank.

Can any tell me where i can get prawn's for my fire eel, can they eat just ordinary frozen prawns from the supermarket? or do they need special ones?    Would they prefer live prawns or frozen?   Also, same questions for earthworms, where can i buy there from? can i use worms from the garden...

yeah i think i will defiantly get one, thanks

just to let you both know, i did a water change and i've just checked back on my fish and all of them are swimming like normal again now. Many thanks for your quick responses.

  I don't have a water testing kit, however I will take some water to my LFS and ask them to do a test tomorrow, as obviously they are closed now.    I'll do another water change now, how much would you suggest? a large water change or small water change

I have a 400 litre tank (roughly) its been up and running for about 6 months in my house and was previously set up in someone elses house before me with the same filter.   Yesterday I decided to swap my gravel for sand. in the process i also did roughly a quater water change.    Now my 4...

  Thanks for the reply.. I know I reacently ready that the fire eel should be in sand or something a lot softer, which is why im planning on changing to sand. would love to see how you've got your tank looking, do you have any photos of it? :) 

Ok, so i've been looking at a lot of tanks on this forum and they look amazing! i like how mine looks but i have no plants! i think plants might be what its missing to get my tank looking a lot better.    I have a few questions first if you guys could please answer:   1. Can i change the gravel...

Hi everyone,   I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about night lighting to view my nocturnal fish. I sometimes see the nocturnal fish during the day but not often, and i'd like to see what they are like when the lights go off.    thanks in advance :) 

I do digital Portrait paintings, using a Wacom graphics tablet and adobe photoshop. I get a lot of people thinking that photoshop is doing all the work by putting filters on etc. but the only tool i use is the brush tool and the colour picker tool, the rest is all down to my wrist and the pen. ...

Many thanks! :) 

thanks again... just thinking, what if i put an area of sand for the eel to burrow in if it wishes and keep the rest gravel? is is that just going to end up all mixed together? hmm maybe a silly idea haha    i've just looked at the red spotted severums that you mentioned above, they are...

  thanks! im getting better each time i do a new portrait! ... hopefully all the practice will pay off ;) 

Thank youuu! :D

Hi everyone!   Thought i'd share what i do as a hobby (hopefully do this full time one day!)    The forum wont let me upload the photo's as they are too large - don't want to reduce the size as it will lose the quality   So, i do apologize but i'll have to send a link to my instagram account...

does anyone know if my gravel is the wrong type for the fire eel? i've seen some videos on youtube and they seem to use soft sand instead of gravel, can someone advise me please?    if i do need soft sand, will my other fish be ok with the softer sand   many thanks in advance! 

thanks everyone, the cichlids have only been in there 3 days so they might be why it looks stressed? ... previous to my buying them 4 they all lived together in the same tank so should be used to each other? ... might be the tinfoil that's stressing them. going to take MBOU's advice and re-home...

Thanks MBOU,    a lot of useful information there, really appreciate it.    I was planning on selling one of the pleco's as they are both getting quite large! - not sure which to keep, the smaller one I've had since it was a baby so don't really want to get rid of this one,  the larger one I've...

  Oh yeah i forgot about that one, yeah i knew it was some kind of birchir, i thought maybe a curvier birchir? but dont actually know lol ... i've sold that one now though, as it wasn't a fish i wanted to keep (came free with the fish tank i bought lol)    Thanks though (Y) 

Hi everyone, I've got a 500 litre (roughly) fish tank, I've got a bunch of fish, the majority of which i know what they are. I was wondering if anyone could identity a few of my fish for me. (please see the youtube video - link below)     the two pleco's - i think they are just common pleco's...

Thanks lock man,   I think i'll get another tank to house them when they get a bit bigger (and for any future fry, if they are going to keep breeding! how long will the molly keep breeding for?)  and possibly ask at the LFS if they'll take some. 

Hi all,    I'm new to this site, and fairly new to fish keeping. I've had 3 mollies for roughly 4 months now (2 black and 1 white) last week my white molly died. Last night i came home from work and found a lot of fry in the tank, about 20+ I wasn't even aware that my molly was pregnant, just...
