Iron man was trapped for at least a day or 2, i thought it was just hiding/dead in the volcano after i refreshed some of the water. I don't even know how she got into the gap, but she was trapped upside down with her tail stuck right in the filter...I hope she's ok. They're tough little fish...

I think that's going to have to be the plan. Keep the favourite ones, fry in their own tank (I've got a very large glass jar in the play room with water in it from the aquarium so we can occasionally catch a couple of fry to look at and draw. It's probably terrifying for the fry but i think...

Taking the paw patrol platies back really would upset the 4yr old. They're literally the only things they've ever cared about. I'd have to do it incredibly gently. Maybe when Xmas happens and they're distracted by toys in the post Xmas haze. I'll start cycling the fry tank to put in the play...

If i do, I'll post a picture. Promise

It's not that I'm not listening. I'm trying to deal with the situation I've gotten into. I'm not ignoring anything, just trying to keep the peace at home. Would it work, temporarily at least until maybe fry are of a size where they won't get eaten if i had them in a seperate (filtered and...

I am listening. I understand i have a fry problem. I'm also aware I'm not going to wake up one morning to 200 fry. Over the past 6 months I've had a total of 20 fry. So I'm going to take the fry away as and when they happen and keep the females. My kids would be heartbroken. So a trip every...

Trust me when i say if Marshall goes missing there'll be riots. It'll have to be the fry and males that go gradually.

Im not saying it's funny. I don't know where you got that idea from. I know it sounds like I'm being cruel and I'm obviously missing some, but i do i full clean out every couple of months to clean the filter a bit so i know there none hiding - there's not thousands. I plan to remove a lot as...

Thanks for the word of warning about females. Sadly I've got 5 specific ones i have to keep, they're named after paw patrol characters and have quite distinctive markings. And there's one called iron man too whos absence will be noticed. I think I'll just have to keep taking fry down to the...

Pet shops must make a killing off fish. Selling them, then getting them back plus more to sell. The danios have been in this tank a long time and seem fine, i know its not ideal (not far off as we've had 2 lots of fry from them - which were given to someone else) and i know my 4yr old is...

Hi, thanks for replying. I feel like an idiot. In my vague defense prior to these guys i had black moors and there were 3 in a 120l tank which i downsized to 90l (yes it's the Roma) when i went to only 1 black moors. It seemed less stressful for him to have a smaller space in his final days...

I wondered how it worked too. It's the shop, yes. They sell aquariums saying how many points of fish it can hold and give each species a number of points. Platies being 2 and danios being 1. They just don't sell my aquarium. I think it's to make it easier for you to tell if you're over...

I probably should have said, it's a temperate tank with a fast flowing top current for the plecs. The plecs and danios were additions to what was initially a planted then a shrimp tank, so I'd say the plecs have been there a year or so, danios about 10 months, platies about 6 months. The older...

I have a 90l fluval edge...Rounded down to about 80l of water as my danios are jumpers. I know how many points per fish my fish are worth according to stocking a tank, i just don't know how many fish points my tank can accommodate. Can anyone help? Stock wise i have 23 platies (7 adults which...
