I allowed some guppy endler interbreeding and I was in love with thr colours and tail formation. But this one particular guy has the coolest tail I've ever seen! It is rounded with a sword like extended almost like a stinger! Anyone seen that before?

Isn't that what I have now? That's the size other members suggest is too large for my tanks... 6" tall.

Hi everyone, I'd love your suggestions for the following criteria. * Peaceful community fish * Approx 3inch in adult size * Colourful I've struggled to select suitable fish and have made beginner mistakes in choosing wrongly and having to rehome fish based on misinformation online or by...

I suppose I'll have to rehome them as they grow a bit then. I consulted the person at the pet shop who sold them to me and because so many people keep them in community tanks not that large I overlooked the necessity of doing more research on their size and tank size. I checked online and a...

Hi, I just finally got a pair of angelfish I've wanted for years. I put two in a 60 litre tank, 60cm wide, 30cm tall. However, saw a video stating that Angelfish like to swim vertically and prefer deeper tanks....? I'm wondering if I should switch them with my betta male who is in a 90litre...

I'd like to find some floating rocks, ideally real and not resin but since the real ones are sold super expensive online and I'm not sure where to get them in person, I'm considering the resin ones but I don't understand what these little metal hooks at the top/bottom are? I ordered one and saw...

Wow, OK, I'll get on separating them. I didn't notice chasing although I was trying to see if there was any! They're so fast!

This girl (her name is "Rose") is much better but seems to have a white growth recurring. If anyone ever identifies what that might be, please suggest. I use Vooglr immunity booster and almond leaves in her tank, she seems healthy and eats so hopefully she overcomes it and it goes away.

This black tailed guppy is one of few who were born in my tank and mixed half endler dad, half guppy mom. Is this male or female?? I'm trying to separate the males and females as soon as I can determine what they are but some like this are super colourful due to their dads yet tails are...

Dream; my newest addition. Standard male betta, very active and affectionate. •90l tank at 26°C •He comes to me to eat his brine shrimp, bloodworm, daphnia, krill, pellets and prepared, flakes from the long tweezers, hand-fed baby. •He would not have any shrimp in his tank but has 2 nerite...

I would think the same but she has these white spots on her fins I cannot identify.

Today she seems better still but is releasing some unusual string of debris.

So the betta seemed to improve after two days with 10 almond leaves and the King British disease clear (silver)... She has her color back and started swimming and eating! HOWEVER, NOW she has these white spots on her fins... I have discovered a dead snail (empty shell!) In the tank today, could...

My female betta never seems to catch or notice food very fast, sometimes she seems a bit slow and it tends to drop down and sink then she will not go down, she will swim back up to eat from the surface and I have heard bettas do like to do so , she will only really eat if I hand feed her with...

I started giving them this about 3 times per week and continuing frozen brine shrimp, and other things I've always had healthy fish with the frozen stuff! I've now done water test and all is normal as always has been with healthy fish. No ammonia or nitrite, or chlorine. A bit high nitrate...

I'll have to change the gravel out for sand. I'll do this soon.

I swear whenever I start feeding my fish flaked foods they get sick and die. She has been super healthy and strong for about two years! I was only feeding frozen foods and people kept suggesting prepared flakes are better and I feel like wheat and cereals are awful but I tried to see if that's...

She does not look OK today! She is pale and unwell. She is floating next to her floating log and not swimming around. Whatever it was escalated quickly. I am just doing a 60% water change and then gonna do a bit of research on what I can do. I swear whenever I start feeding my fish flaked foods...

That's quite a wide opening where the lid is, a guppy or tetra couldn't find their way out??

Hi everyone Would appreciate your feedback. Is this white spot on her head towards the right? Her eyes also seem a little swollen but not sure if they are or it's my perception.

Whats the fish trap?

Thanks everybody. I finally got him super easily when I didn't even expect to. I do think I should get a bigger net. But I took out a big bucket ready to drain the tank then saw him chilling near the top, slowly inserted a small jug and sucked him in with the water. Super easy & unpexected after...

Hello everybody. Anyone found any spectacular tricks for catching Olympic swimmer fish who are impossible to net? I would love to avoid removing everything from the tank and uprooting all the plants and taking out 80% of the water to catch this guy. By the time I've taking everything out...

When I put the pump on backwards it usually pumps air into the fish tank lol and doesn't suck anything up. But that's not the case here. I also checked because it has arrows. So, it is sucking up water about 2 inches and then getting stuck, but when the output is in water then it sucks up more...

That would make sense but they have a section with pond plants where plants are as you describe. The plants I bought were in the tropical fish section submerged under water by about 20cm in an aquarium so that's odd.

Planting plants in aquarium gravel with water pressure and such is an extremely annoyingly difficult thing for me, very arduous trying to make them stay in the gravel, and I cannot fathom why someone would want to do this if they don't plan to have it there longterm! I will have to remove the...

I had thoroughly cleaned the pump but with no luck. I did discover however, that opposing its usual operation, it now only sucks up water if the output of the hose (sitting in the bucket) is inside some water. How odd! Before, I had to ensure the output was out of water or else it would only...

Anubias is very popular for aquariums? This is the first I've heard it is not? I have to check this if this is what you meant. Because I was thinking based on the earlier comment that Anubias stands up straight out of water. What a shame!

Somehow I thought buying from a pond shop would be better. Previously I only bought from eBay and amazon but you never know who the seller is. It's very confusing why this would be the case as I was quite thrilled to buy in person for once.

Hi everyone. I recently bought these at an aquatic shop where they were submerged in a tank. On this forum I have been notified that they may not be aquatic plants. Please can you help identify if you've ever seen them as aquatic plants or not? The tall stem with fanned leaves. The...
