Hi guys, been a while since my last post but six months on following the concern of one of upside-down catfish but turns out he/she had been well and healthy. Today I've noticed one of them is HUGE! Swollen rounded belly, do we think she could be pregnant? I seriously hope he/she isn't sick. You...

Oh dear, I guess I best find a new home for them ☹️

How about Tigger, Kitty, Lynx, or Tom? All feline references, lol

Update on the tiger barbs, I've removed them from the big tank and the two of them are in a small 13 litre tank. How many would you suggest is reasonable in such a small tank as it looks quite empty and lonely, maybe I can add a few more? Or maybe a different compatible fish species? The...

Hi there, hope all is well in the fishy world. I'm new here. Needed advice regarding one of my catfish. Does he look unwell? He lost his colour 3 months ago when I transferred him from my late mother's house to mine. All other fish have been fine only this one lost his colour and looks sickly...
