2 Possibilities 1, you have a faulty hydrometer. Not uncommon at all. Its certainly worth forking out the $ for a refractometer. It is far more accurate and you'll probably find that ur hydrometer reading is WAYYY off when you get one. 2, loss in temperature. Specific Gravity is different at...

Was it a brick with corraline algae growing on it? Lol Hard to tell without a pic

Oops forgot to mention. In the guppy tank there is no substrate, only a white coloured medium sized gravel. The snails are the little red buggers, I think they came in off some Java Moss i put in the tank.

I really should update my sig as I've passed on a few fish to a friend. Jewel Rekord 80 contains: 2x Angels 2x Bristlenose 2x Loaches (Not sure exactly what type but they're not the ones which grow to massive sizes) 14x Neons 1x Red Tail Black Shark 1x Tiny Whiptail Catfish I'll be pushing it...

Heyas I've got myself a guppy tank with both male and female fancy guppies. What i'm looking for is another fish to complement this tank who will also take on the role of snail and fry control. I'd love a Betta but know theres a risk that he/she will attack my male guppies. Is there anything...

My 3 females have had about 3 sets of fry, and this time all 3 females have died not long after having the fry. It is strange because conditions have not changed from the 1st time til the 3rd time. Water parameters have been the same, the tank is fully cycled, theres nothing different at all...

I'm not sure of the size of platy fry, but if they're anything like guppy fry, then you should be fine. I've got guppy fry ranging from 1 day to 2 months in my tank.

Thanks heaps for your help! :)

They don't seem to be flicking that i've noticed. Is it possible they've rubbed up against the heater and thats caused it?

What do you mean by flicking?

Spine isn't bent, shes swimming round fine. Doesn't appear to have lost weight, however I did notice that the one which died was quite thin, but I assumed thats because she had just dropped her fry

Heres a pic of the still living female. Looks like her tail is doing what the other one did :( I dont have another tank that I can seperate her into, and I figure if its a disease, all of the fry etc will have it anyway :( 20 Litre tank, 2 Female Fully grown Guppies and approx 20 fry ranging...

Heyas Noticed yesterday that 2 of my female guppies were missing alot of their scales, and 1 of them had dropped its tail to a funny angle. This morning one of them was dead at the bottom of the tank. The other is still freeswimming happily but looks awful. My other fully grown female is...

Ahh the ones in the pics wont be the dad of the larger guppies i've got as i'm pretty sure the mommys first drop would've been from one of the LFS guppy males. Heres another pic, u can see the yellow in the tail, but notice how fat the wee fulla is, like he's preggers but i'm sure he's male...

I guess its possible that the older guppies I have wont colour as I have no idea what the male was that got to them when they were in the fish shop, but I'd hope i'd get more than what I've got. Sorry for pic quality but as you can see theres a tiny bit of yellow in its tail. Mom looks exactly...

Hiyas About 2 months ago my female Guppies had some babies, but i'm a little concerned that none of them are colouring. What is the usual timeframe for a male guppy fry to start colouring? Right now in the state they are, they all look female. They have a slight yellow tinge to their tailfin...

Thanks Tessla, they seem to be zebra loaches. Also I wasn't posting in regards to how many fish to put in the tank, more an answer to Martyns question of keeping those type of fish together Cheers :)

"80 liters works out to about 21 US gallons, you're very overstocked there." I knew posting what I had in that tank would bring up this comment. Its all about forward thinking. All fish in this tank are fairly young, therefore, fairly small compared to their fully grown adult size. Theres...

I vaguely remember being told that "Cycle" works best when doing a cycle with fish, could be wrong tho. U are probably right, theres better products on the market but its working well for me. I've never seen high ammonia or nitrite in either of my tanks using the APF master kit. What is another...

I've got a Planted Rekord 80 with the following fish 5x Neon Tetras 2x Bristlenose Plecs (1 male 1 female) 2x Angels 1x Gold Dwarf Gourami 1x Opal(?) Dwarf Gourami (Not sure if i've got the names of the Gourami right) 2x Blue Rams (1 male 1 female) 1x Red Tail Black Shark (my fav) 1x Whiptail...

Mmm I've never had an issue with it. Could be the fact we're in totally different locations tho. Temperatures here in New Zealand are alot cooler than you people probably experience. That and the water here in Christchurch is aparently one of the purest in the world (no additives) so a number of...

I've setup all my tanks and cycled with fish and never had a problem. I use "Cycle" for my tanks and it seems to do the job very well (i've never seen ammonia over 2 before) And before anyone says anything, yes I can confirm both my tanks are cycled and I have the proper liquid master test kit...
