Anyone proivide any insights into Angel behaviour would be appreciated. About a month ago we added a new Angel Fish into a 5ft tank that housed another Angel for about 2 months prior, there was another Angel in the tank before which never showed any signs of fighting but it died with a hole in...

Hi I have around 10 various Cory's 2 peppered, The oldest and biggest peppered Cory over the last few weeks seems to have developed a white line along the base of its Dorsal fin , It looks pretty innocent and the other peppered cory and the other corys Pandas and Albino's seem unnaffected. My...

I was just wondering if anyone can recognise this problem and if anyone has any personal experience in dealing with or treating this I have just returned from a 2 week holiday and noticed an angel fish which seemed to have a bubble like skin over its mouth, its mouth is also slightly squinted...

Thanks guys she is still with us but looks no better, The tank has been up and running for around 5 months, the last fish to have any problems was around two months after the tank was setup since then everything seems very settled. Im reluctant to put her back in the main tank as two fish...

Dont know if i can say its true that adding helps, i started with 8 months ago, and now only have 2 , to start with they were so vicious and caused nothing but problems, but since they have gone to only 2 there has been no trouble with each other or any other fish. Whether it was a more...

My youngest female mollie gave birth for the first time last night I managed to get 5 fry one of whom did not make it and died this morning. The mother looked fine this morning but tonight when coming home i found her head down in the corner of the tank at first i thought she was dead but her...

I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on the behaviour of one of my Neon Tetras I have 8 neons, I have had them for about 4 months. to start with all stayed together now a strange thing has happened i only ever see 7 of them together, the 8th is always resting in a small cave at the...

I bought a tub of Tubifex Worms a few days ago too, My fiancee got an Angel for xmas and it did not seem to keen on some of the other foods we had. At first noone seemed interested while it was in cube form, Once it broke up with a little help the fish started taking some interest in it...

I have a mollie which i am sure is pregnant, I am looking for some sort of signs she may be ready to birth but am finding it really hard. She is a a dalmation mollie and its very hard to see if there is a gravid spot. This would be her second batch of fry in just over a month if its happening...

so sad :no: i recently visited the Deep Sea World outside Edinburgh and it was wonderful to see fish of the size and quantity that i would never ever get the chance to see elsewhere. These places are so special for even that reason alone. I hope they can rescue most of thier fish and can...

Nice to know for future fin damage thanks, unfortunately she died soon after being seperated. Maybe through tiredness/stress tying to get out, maybe there was something else wrong and she went there for peace and to die, i did not think it was a place any of my fish could get stuck but the way...

Hi just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on lost fins, I came home from work today and my girlfriend noticed one of my mollies looked trapped and was dead, luckily she was not dead ad she was still breathing i let her loose from where she was trapped, but after less than a minute was...

:kana: Thats good to hear, as i just mentioned in a different thread i too am having problems with my local water and am going to try bottled water. Its good when you get answers to a question i have not asked yet :smb: Thanks

Hi Bogus Move, I recently cycled my first tank a couple of months ago, I found i had a lot of the problems you had, Given hindsight i now know that i did not cycle correctly. Im not sure i could even cycle a new tank now it was so confusing. I too got plants after a week of getting the tank...

Well its a good month gone since my cycle finished, I have currently 4 damation mollies , 2 clown loaches, 2 tiger barbs, 8 neon tetras & a bristlenose plec I am looking for some advice on how people add c02 to the tank, I bought a ventura air kit to fit to my Juwel Filter system and have been...

Hi Steve :hi: Dont have any experience with larger tanks just have a 24g myself. But just wanted to welcome you on board.

I have 2 clowns at the moment might get another 1 and they seem to spend most of thier time in a couple of caves i have, they are usually lying next to or on top of one another - They are very rarely apart. I also bought a Bristlenose last night as the clowns were ignoring the algae build up...

Looking for some advice on the keeping these fish together, i know the general advice is not to mix them due to the angels fins, but i have been viewing the behaviour of my remaining green tiger barbs, lost 4 out of 6 over the last week or so, i am assuming bad water quality in the newly...

I bought a Plec last night and asked my LFS how big it could get, he showed me one that was around 10" but he also told me that it was raised in a 6ft tank and that thier growth is related to the size of tank they grow up in, anyone out there know if this is true ? He may have just been talking...

No matter he did not make it, all the others are still fine

Hi looking for a little help Today we decided that our cycle was finished and it was time to buy some fish We decided on Green Tiger Barbs, we bought 6, Initially coming out of the bag they were all quite active and shortly after they were given a little food 5 of them seem perfectly fine but...

:hi: Hi glenn welcome

I did have some concerns myself about the table like effect in the middle, all the rest of the rocks are pretty secure but if the table took a big hit it may topple. Regardless of the tank would not want to crush anything. I will take a look at it again tonight when i get home. If i have to...

Thanks for your comments all I have a double sided background to add cant make up my mind whether to make it the blue side or the black, I will probably go with blue. Also need to purchase something to stick it on with. Will probably get this when i get some fish this weekend. All the plants...

Ive been considering if i could add a couple of shrimps to my tank too, i almost decided to go with marine tank so i could have invertibrates but decided against it on my first attempt. I wanted something to clean the bottom of my tank which i heard they made a great clean up crew, also the...

Im a little worried i dont have enough plants in this tank what does everyone think - more plants before the fish are added ?

Ok here goes with my first question as i mentioned in my newbie post I have a question on rocks and how you can tell if they are suitable. I have started up a 29gl tank which i intend to be a community style tank, I have had everything setup for over a week now on a fishless cycle. After the...

Hello everyone just wanted to introduce myself before getting i posted all the many questions i will probably have. I have just rejoined the hobby after keeping goldfish around 15 years ago. This time round i am going to try keeping a freshwater community tank. I have been reading the advice...
