Also, some fish like to jump. Having a top on the tank gives you peace of mind that they won't be able to get out. :)

Thats great, but i want to hear what everyone's fav's are! (there is also soo much info in the index that I wouldn't know where to start!)    :)

I'm keen to learn about the different species of tropical fish and I thought some of you guys on here could help!   I already know quite a bit about some of the more common species of fish i.e livebearers such as guppies and platies, but want to know more about all the other amazing species out...

Welcome to the forum! I hope you find the info that you need :)

Welcome :)   You should definitely consider getting a tank! It has to be one of the best things I have ever bought for my house...

Thanks everyone :) he's definitely a character!

Welcome :) I was the same as you, I always used to use the forum to get info but then I thought why not just join!  And I agree with AquaPit would be great to see a pic of your tank.  

Welcome :) 

We got Charlie a week ago from a local Aviary, he's 9 weeks old and he seems to be settling into his new home nicely      

Welcome! would love to see a pic of your tank it sounds really interesting :) 

Birds eye view from the top could look really cool!    Would be great to see a photo if you do decide to get one :)

Platy update - The lump has finally gone! It took a good week but when I got in from work tonight it had disappeared. I'm really pleased and relieved for her and she is also looking far less bloated. She does however seemed to have developed a small bit of fungus on her tail fin. I am presuming...

Ok thanks for all your advice. I will continue to not feed for a few more days and make sure the water stays pristine. Fingers crossed she will get through this!

Welcome :) would be great to see some pics of your tank when it is up and running!  

All the dogs on this topic are adorable!  I have a Border Collie myself called Milly and I love her to bits! She is such a character. We got her from the RSPCA when she was 4 and she is now 12. She had a stroke back in september but has recovered and is still going strong!  :)        

I only have the 1! I was going to get a 2nd but decided to get a Cockatiel instead lol (Bit different to fish i know)     I find the 1 tank quite a big commitment as it is so I applaud all of you on here for having so many! Must be hard work at times - all those water changes! 

There is no pine-coning,  Water parameters are all fine, ammonia 0, nitrate 10 ppm.  Last water change of 30% was done yesterday.    She does seem to have taken ages to give birth, with the fry being born quite far apart. 

This happened to my platy a couple of days ago... Could it be a prolapse?  If so what could have caused this and could it possibly because she has very recently given birth?    Does anyone know if there any chance of her recovering? I fed her pea's yesterday and nothing today.  She is still able...

thank you 

How to tell if they are male or female?     

So thought I would give a quick update - Today I went and got 1 Nerite Snail and 5 MTS. All are fairly large so fingers crossed they will do well in the tank! 

Ok great! Its certainly good to know that in the future gourami's aren't out of the question! :) 

ok nitrate is at 10ppm. 

Hmm that's what I thought. Tank size: 250 litre (they were however born into a 50 litre) Water changes: Once a week minimum of 30% Currently out but will check nitrate level when I get back - usually all levels are completely fine.

Ok, so I have two young balloon mollies. They are 6 months old now but are only approx between 2.5-3cm in length. Considering mollies only live for between 1 and 2 years I was expecting them to be a bit larger by now. I have heard somewhere that when balloon mollies are inbred it can stunt...

    Current occupants: 1 x Pearl Gourami, 1 x Angelfish, 1 x L092 Pleco (woodeating pleco), 9 x Neon tetras, 6 x Harlequin Rasboras, 6 x Male Guppies and 4 x Leopard Danios   I'd like to maybe add a few more at some time in the future, not sure yet though and they would be rummynose tetras...

I used to have two gold rams. One developed a white dot on his side which grew in size and turned out to be a fungal infection. Unfortunately the treatment we tried didn't work and we lost him :(    I am not as experienced as many on this forum so I'm sure others will be able to offer more...

Welcome :)    Do you keep fish yourself? If so It would be great to hear about what fish you currently have?  

  Yeah I do get what you are saying about aquajardin, when I last went in they had one small tank of guppies and a small tank of platies but I don't remember seeing any mollies.(and the guppies and platies that they did have weren't particularly colourful.) However I did get...

Thanks Neil :)

Love the tank! What kinds of fish do you have in there? 

Hello, I have a female Dalmatian molly too but she isn't pregnant. I can't comment on the twitching but my molly also likes to hang out round the heater and she also eats a lot. She has been this way ever since she was moved to a larger tank 5 months ago. (In the old tank the heater was in a...

Lovely fish! Love the colouring :) No idea for names tho ...
