    My First Angelfish Spawn

    3 days to hatch or there abouts.I moved mine to another tank along with the parents(it seemed easier) but in the process i think i killed a few eggs.Didn't think the parents would resume parenting but they have. He can't guard them for ever in a tank,never ending task. What else is in the tank...

    Angel Pair Finally

    I purchased 3 angel fish a long time ago as babies and had a faint hope that a pair would appear,i know they say to get 6 etc for best chances but i didn't want 6 at the time and thought i'd risk it.After quite a while i gave up hoping i had a pair and thought from gut feeling i had 3 females...

    Juwel 240 Light Problem

    My Rio 180 has gone as well,tested tubes and both work fine,tested fuse and thats ok.They are all sealed up and nothing else can be done without voiding the warranty. I'm pretty sure mines still under warranty so hopefully it'll get replaced.Be damn annoyed if i have to fork out for one...

    Courtship Displays

    The swordtail sounds like he is displaying trying to attract attention,all his fins raised,moving forward and back quite quickly. The platy is taking the more direct "i'll slip her one when she's not expecting it route",You'll see his gonopodium moving when he swims upto them quickly. Guppies...

    Leaking Filter

    To try and stem the leak reassemble the filter and use vaseline on the ring before you put it together. Just google for FLuval 205 spares a few should come up. http://www.maidenheadaquatics.co.uk http://www.fishandfins.co.uk/fluval-spares.htm are just a couple to check out.

    Is She Fat Or Is She Ill?

    Wrong section for danio's. She is an egglayer/scatterer and probably full of eggs.She doesn't need a male to get pregnant she just produces the eggs in her body in readiness for mating with males. My mate has one like this and i've had them like it before.Dunno what to suggest tbh. Is she...

    Impromptu Fry Tank

    A good tip for fry tank filtration is to use sponge filters and when fry tank isn't in use place them in the community tank to keep them cycled and more importantly ready as by the time you spot a pregnant fish it isn't enough time to cycle a tank properly anyway. Water changes are a must...

    Male Molly Harrasing Female

    Fry can be put in the main tank when they won't fit into the other fishes mouths,by this i mean it's tail as well.Netting them for a while in the main tank will let you gauge the reaction of the other occupants.If they try and get at them aggresively in the net they think it's their next meal.If...

    Male Molly Harrasing Female

    He's just doing what males do,if he were a dog a swift visit to the vets would be in order. You could put in a fry net to seperate him from them for a while,might make him worse though lol If it's one pregnant female he's chasing and not the other you could move her for a while into the other...

    My Angels Have Spawned

    Might be better posting in new world cicilids forum. Look up the member called "Tolak" or his posts as he breeds angels and knows his stuff. I'm presuming it's a community aquarium they have spawned in so if you want them to survive and grow you'll need a new home for all the other fish or the...

    Fry Question

    You can let them out when the fry won't fit into the biggest fish mouth in your tank.They should be ok in there for a while yet.Just keep feeding often and little and try to keep their net as clean as you can.

    Gestation Period Of A Swordtail

    Live bearers can have multiple births from one mating i believe.So they were probably mated with before you got them.

    How Do Uv Filters Work

    Sounds like it needs an external pump source.Either plumb it in to an existing external feed/return pipe or put an internal pump/power head in the tank to pump water up to it and mount it above the water level so gravity returns the water back to the tank.

    Filter Doesn't Seem To Be As Good As I Would Like...

    I'm in much the same situation with my juwel box filter,it's just doesn't seem to be filtering the minute particles out causing a slight cloudiness.I have purchased an ehiem external filter but need a couple of bits before i can set it up. If you do get another filter put all the contents of the...

    Juwel 600 Powerhead

    There is a replacement available for juwel powerheads but i'm damned if i can find the link to it again(sorry),can't remember the make either but it was better than the 600 in fact i think it was equal to the juwel 1000 power head and it was £19.99. If i find it again i'll post link.

    Losses

    Just keep monitoring the water and do daily changes 10%-15%.Looks like it's started cycling so hopefully your filter will start doing it's work soon. Any spikes in your test results then increase water change volume.If they decrease then you know your filter is starting to do it's job but keep...

    Vita Tech External Filter?

    Thanks,that's about all i could find apart from euro sites selling them along side eheim ones but cheaper,which makes wonder tbh. If they were made by eheim why rebrand to an unknown name. Will try contacting them thanks again.

    Setting Up A Rio 125

    1.I put em in after it when you do a water change don't want things complicated by outside factors but i don't think it matters either way.Soak your bogwood anyway while it's cycling it can make water all brown. 2.Buy dechlorinator from your lfs 3.again check with your lfs,if he's descent he'll...
