Hi Guys, just got myself 6, 16 Gallon Long tanks :) All freshwater tropical, any ideas on what good combinations are? Definately want cherry shrimp in one tank, already got loads to put in, they are currently in a smaller 9.5 Gallon. If anyone knows any good tank mates for shrimp that wont...

If I’m honest, platies can turn on guppies, I also read this on another forum. I would either move the platties or move the guppies, however I would definitely isolate the injured guppies in a hospital tank and treat with some melafix for the wound :(

Thanks

Thanks :) I did research it etc, and pet store staff said it was a bristle nose but wanted to double check about it due to it not having its bristles yet :)

Male plattys can attack female guppies, is it an open wound or internal?

Hi everyone! So I just picked up this pleco for my new tank, it’s a 16 gallon long. (Gravel Arriving Later) He’s only very small at the moment but need to know how big he will get approximately :) I’ve attached a photo, he’s a dark green/black colour with white spots. If anyone can tell me what...

I see, how are your parameters? And is it well planted tank? What other fish are in there?

Looks like false neon tetra disease, it’s called columnaris it’s called false neon tetra disease due to the symptoms being very similar people thing it is NTD. Just treat for Columnaris and they will be just fine :)

I think that’s the one i recognise the name, hopefully they should perk up again soon I’ve only just potted them separately so fingers crossed they will brighten up

Cheers! The plant in the middle is different anyways, thanks for letting me know :)

Hi guys I bought this plant a couple of weeks back to try and grow it so I could split it down into several different plants, that’s all done now but I’m not sure what it is called, any help appreciated, James :)

I have kept betta fish for several years now and I have lots of tanks, If that was my fish I would put him in a a quarantine tank, if the tank is cycled, great, if not I add something called Tetra Safe Start which adds the good bacteria. I always do daily 20% water changes in quarantine tanks...

Thanks guys, I unfortunately added the internet stuff before I read your comments and now she died, I’m absolutely devastate, can anyone recommend a betta fish breeder in the UK?

Hello, a few days ago my female sorority tank had a fight, one female went crazy and killed one and badly injured another, tye injures one has an open wound near its gill and has started with cotton wool on the wound, ive done a salt bath and Interprt anti fungal is there anything else I can do...

Ok thanks for your help guys

Hi I got this pleco and was was wondering if anyone knew what species it is? If you know what species can they be kept together?

Has been set up about a month, added tetra safe start bacteria, 15l 4guppies temporarily. Temp is 26 ammonia 0 and ph about 7-8

Hello, I need to get my nitrite down very quickly, it is very high! I have done a water change but it hasn’t made a difference, any ideas?

How do I know if they have embraced?

Hello, this just sounds like a dodgy thermometer, i would certainly reccomend purchasing a digital thermometer. These can be found for under $5/£5 on amazon. These give much more accurate readings and like you said, you should check your water temperature as well as parameters to make sure you...

I agree, I conditioned them for 2/3 weeks. She is still showing breeding stripes however and sometimes swims towards the nest before the male chases her away. Does this mean that she is interested?

Ok, will keep you posted

keep us posted if you have any babies

Yes, first time Have conditioned them both on bloodworm brine shrimp etc The male has blown bubble nest and female has the breeding stripes

Hello I have had my male and female betta in the same tank for 48 hours now and need some advice regarding egg laying/embrace. My male betta has blown his bubble nest and is showing the usual aggression to the female, they chased each other around like crazy when i first released the female and...

Hello, I would recommend starving her from her normal food for 3 days whilst feeding her small portions of mashed de shelled peas. Hope this helps, works with my fish

Hello, my guppy is exactly like that, you can tell she is pregnant due to the large gravid spot. You should expect babies in 7-10 days i would say but it may take longer, i would bunch some of your aquarium plants together so the babies have a place to hide as the parents/other fish will most...

Thanks so much for your help guys, he is doing it, i will send pictures of the babies if i get any :)

Another update: he is going to the surface then breathing bubbles underneath one specific peice of floating material at the top of the tank, he is also hanging around there, is this him building a nest?

Hello guys, bit of an update, i dont know if the male betta is trying to build a nest but he goes to the surface and blows some bubbles constantly however they seem to instantly pop, is he trying to or is he just breathing?

I have some reptiles so have live locusts and mealworms, are they any good? I have frozen bloodworm, brine shrimp and a mix as well

Try some guppies and maybe some neon tetra, in my 10 gallon I have 10 neon tetra male and female guppy and 1 female betta, i may have been lucky with my female betta not attacking other fish but mine are fine.

Yes, constantly flaring at her when i added the female she had horizontal stripes however after about an hour she had vertical stripes, she also has the egg spot thingy on her belly.

Will condition them then try again

Just over a month

Got some and fed them
