Calm down. From what I understnad this is quite normal. It's like the catfish's first week at school. quite shy, and working out who his/her firneds are and finding its feet. If you just give it some time, I am sure it will be fine. I am sure other, more experienced people will be able to...

We seem to have reached point, in the UK at least, where people can't accept the concept of an accident and have the need to apportion blame on someone. It saddens me that an individual(s) would want to take out revenge on an animal merely carryoing out its natural behaviour.

I like your little piccie It looks fab!

Good luck on your mercy mission.

I have the opposite problem. My friend's dad has a beautiful tank in the living room, and I'm just a newbie and eager to learn, so frequently comment on his tank and he just goes 'Thanks'. Conversation over. It's very frustrating :grr:

Not to my tastes, but when I was in the Oceanographic Institute in Vietnam they just had thousands upon thousands of jars with dead fish and the like in them and had used them to learn about the species. If a someone has an interest in these things then leave them in peace. Better it is out...

Check out the cat on top of one of the larger tanks!! I wonder :lol: if its lunch time

That's fun to watch!! thank you :P

Hi, I love your tank. I think the main reason a lot of people do not choose to have marine tanks is how difficult is seems to set them up. From what I understand, if it is all set up already,a nd it is a question of maintenance, then people would be morelikely to have a marine tank, cause they...

Bristlenose - Mr Plec (Not matured yet, so might have to be Ms Plec) Albino Bristlenose - Little Plec Betta - Gonzalez (as in Speedy) the ones no longer with me; Puffer - Rambo Betta - Pete Brislenose - Jimbob

Hi, I'm new, so please do not take this as fact, but I understood dyed fish to be dyed through the process of dye beinginjected into them, i.e under a layer of skin/scales. So, I would assume that no, this would not affect any aspect of the reproduction of the fish (if it lived through the...

F. My friends. But I think they are only teasing :-) My boyfriend pretends to be indifferent to them, but he boughtme my first tank, and we are moving tomorrow, and is insistent I wait for him to help me catch/bag/move them etc, and he's getting a heat pack to help (we are only moving 15 mins...

Hi, I have the intelligent LED with my Biorb. I think it is a nice additionand its supposed to be relaxing for the fish to have day gradually turn into light, rather than having a light just switched on. I suppose in its simplest form it is just the same as having a timer fitted to a...

Hi there, Knowing what you want to do is a hard thing for anyone at any age. At 14 I knew I wanted to be a lawyer. At 18 I wanted to be a language teacher, so started an Italian degree. At 19 I wanted to be an economist, so changed by degree to economics. At 22 I graduated. At 25 I now...

Hi, I got bought a Biorb for xmas bymy partner as a surprise. It was definately that!! I removed 50% of the ceramic media and replaced with gravel to enable me to plant anything, and this has nt caused any problems. The water stats remained fine. I also bought a different heater to the...

Kilifish1, I am assuming you are not into Scuba Diving!! :lol:

I'm with you on thinking it's a scam. How could it be salt water, and not saltwater at the same time? Which surely is what you would need? Very odd!!!

Thank you very much Squid :D

Hi, Sorry for being stupid, but does a filter act as an air pump, or is a seperate air pump required? Thanks for your time. :*)

This is fantastic. Thank you for your hard work here. I have just emailed my MP. I can only assume that the moderators here do care, but maybe are not able to get involved in any political matters ? just an assumption though? Hopefully they just haven't seen it yet or something.

I talk to them all of the time. My boyfriend thinks I'm nuts :-) I've always talked to all my pets, and I think it helps to form a bond with them.

I bought 2 BN on Saturday. They are fantastic. At the moment they are approximately 4cms long, and so cute. Mine both have different markings, and I will be keeping an eye on them to hopefully be able to tell them apart as they grow. I have put two very small plant pots in the tank, facing...

Hi, I am ashamed to say that I had a betta with some guppies - I did not know any better I got up one morning, took a look at the tish and it was all death ahd destruction. All of the teails of all but 2 guppys had been dessimated. I now have 2 gupppies in their original tank, and had to...

[quote name='Jessica13' date='Jan 28 2006, 05:15 PM' post='1053966' Someone on another forum i asked about this on said that its cos she wants to come back out of the cage - I wouldn't have thought hamsters were that intelligent?! And i cant have her out all the time :blink: I beg to...

Hi, I hve always seen dwarf hamsters in pairs, and unlike syrian hamsters, they like company, but as with all animals, of you keep two sexes in the same cage, they are going to breed and multiply at a phenomenal rate. So ensure theya re the same sex, or be prepared to have a lot more than...

Hi, This is all just my opnion only, so pleasedo not take this as fact, as there are peopleon here who have years of experience. I have been keeping my male betta with cardinal tetras. They have been fine with each other, and have become friends. Lots of people mention that tetras should...

My Betta lives with 6 Cardinal Tetras. They get on really well, the tetras seem to like him, and he seems to like them. There is no agression and no fin niping. But these may not seem like 'cool' fish to you, if you wer thinking of something sharky!! But I think they are pretty cool.

Hi, I'm quite new to keeping fish, so I don't know how much help this will actually be to you. When I got my male betta he just sat on the bottom, looking quitelost for the first 2 days. I think he was daunted by the size of the tank he is in compared to the tiny bowl he was in in the shop...

I dive too!! I dve in cold and warm water - absolutely love it :D My boyfiend bought me an aquarioum for xmas as result of my dive buddy telling him about how excited I get everytime we see a fish!!

Hi All, I am a complete newbie to tropical fish and got bought a small tank for christmas. I have a thirty litre tropical tank, which I set up today with water, plants (tall, medium and short ones) and all other stuff it needed, and put the sachet of water treatment in as instructed. I have...
