Thanks for you replies! I transfer with either a little container or with a pipette that has the end cut off. I've added some more java moss and also raised the water levels. Water changes are hard because the main tank is at 80 and the fry tank is at 78... can I ask how you do such large temp...

Hi everyone, I have had a few batches of eggs from my Julii cories. They have only laid a few at a time and the other fish have been getting to them, but I've had about 3 batches hatch 2-5 fry. I cannot get the fry to eat and each time they have died. I have tried fry food from Aquarium Coop...

BABIES!! Two babies! I mean, two fry!! They are teeny tiny itsy bitsy. So exciting! I have some fry power food from Aquiarium Co-op and some bring shrimp eggs ready to start all courtesy of a local fish keeper

Thanks! So far nothing hatched but there are 5 that have eyed up and are moving yay!! The other 6, they remained white and last night I moved them to a separate container floating in the tank which then tipped over :(so I hoping that those ones really were infertile!). The issue is that I'll be...

Thank you! I'd better get ready! I'll see if I can get hold of fry food at my LFS I love how you recommend to separate the sexes before trying to breed. I bet it works like a charm One question: some websites say to separate the fry in a separate tank with a separate filter and heater. Would a...

ERMERGHERD there are little things moving inside!!! I feel unprepared for offspring :(

Thanks Colin. I want to know nowwwwwwwwww!!!! Fingers crossed. They've been moved to a container attached to the inside of the main tank with the air pump inside

Hello, My corys have laid eggs!!!! I would like to know whether they are fertile or not. The eggs were laid on some floating Salvinia Minima/Water Spangles and I noticed them a few hours ago. I removed them and placed in a pyrex container with an air filter. I separated the eggs. You will see...

I really like the idea of a Bolivian Ram. I would prefer a German Blue but have read that they are pretty sensitive. My latest pH test (today) was 6.5. Can Rams and Apostogrammas go together? Say if I were to get a male of each? I highly doubt I will do this but good to know. Many differing...

Byron, I appreciate your thoughts, thank you. I will be adding to the cories - they are good for keeping the tank clean which will only help everyone in there (and me!). I also have found a home for the danios, both the zebras and the CPD. I hope you can see that I am asking all of these...

Thank you. I have a confession that I don't really like cories! They came with the tank and are growing on me, but the thought of a bunch of them taking up the space that a preferred species could use is not something I would choose to do; however I want the fish to be happy so I will get more...

Thanks again everyone. How about this: any more thoughts would be very welcome! 8-12 Rummynose 8 Black Phantom Tetra 12 Cardinals 8 Agassiz Corys 2 Scarlet Badis 2 Apistogramma, probably agassizi - will wait on this for last to see how the tank is doing Quick question about the corys - I have...

Hi everyone, Thank you, this is all very helpful and I appreciate your advice and opinions. I am thinking of rehoming some species. What would you think about the following: 8-12 Rummynose 8 Black Phantom Tetra 12 Cardinals 4 Agassiz Corys 2 Scarlet Badis 6 (or so) CPDs plus one or two...

Thanks for your input. I have posted the same question on some other forums to try to get as much feedback as possible and it looks like I am going a bit nuts with the species. I used to keep many fish when I was younger and I just love the variety, so it's so hard to not want all of the species...

Thank you Colin! I will move it - looks like I will need to get the intake tube thingy since the pipe is already cut short If the new parts don't fix it I'll look into the motor. Fingers crossed...

Hi everyone FYI - I have another post on here about a faulty filter, so this post of course assumes that is fixed! I have a 37g tank (calculated by measuring capacity accounting for water level and glass thickness; 34 or so with approx 2 in of substrate and some driftwood). Ammonia ad Nitrites...

Here is the intake, along with a photo showing the location. I am getting super frustrated. Today I came home (from first day at new job) to find a mere trickle from the outtake. I took apart and reassembled and it's still awful. Sigh. New parts don't arrive until Tuesday

Not really. I saw one suggestion which said to unplug and replug rapidly a few times but it didn't seem to do anything

Thanks again for the help! Some updates: I found the mystery part! It's a foot :) https://usa.hagen.com/Aquatic/Replacement-Parts/A20119 I called Fluval and they have agreed to send me a new impeller lid and Aquastop. This was a nice surprise and they needed a little persuading since I didn't...

Thank you both. Yes, I think it's way to big and I just chatted to them on the phone and they don't think it's from the impeller, there is just no room for it. But I will check again when I install the new parts. I am trying to avoid taking it apart too many times right now. The lid is pretty...

Hi everyone, I would like to hear your advice and thoughts about my Fluval 306 canister filter which is being incredibly frustrating! I just bought an established tank that came with the filter. I am a returning fish-keeper - I used to have them as a teenager but that's been a while. So, the...
