If you put a slit in the tube to maintain the level of the water, then you might aswell get rid of the foam in the end of the tube. The CO2 will just escape out the slit in the tube. The idea will diffuse a certian amount of CO2 into the water but it wont be that effective. its basically the...

I dont think you should need any more pressure using that, than if you just had the airstone sitting in the tank. you may need a little bit more pressure but i dont think you would need that much more

I would love 1-2 of your female blue HM's. How much would you want for them and postage? I have a fish that looks identical to bob except mine is VT, nice fish you've got :good:

Has anyone ever tried making a UV steriliser? They seem to be pretty simple, I might give it a go

have a look on ebay, there's loads of black lights on there

Not sure if there is a particular thing called a breeding mat as such, but i assume he means a mesh f some sort to allow the eggs to pass through but keep the parents from eating them. A bit like using marbles. I would just keep doing what you're doing and see how it goes, keep it simple and...

my favourite may to get rid of snails is to get some clown loach, they're so cool!

you could try a breeding mat, thats probably not a bad idea. I think for the first try though, you should just keep the set-up simple, just a nice tank for the fish to be in. monitor them alot, then if/when they spawn you will see the way that they do things etc, and refine your set-up for the...

You might as well give it a shot. I've never kept any kuhlie loach and dont know alot about them, but i really do like them. keep us updated and good luck!

Hi and thanks for the replys. Yeh, just them and the platies. I knew they were eggs scatteres and did find it strange myself that the eggs were in one of the plants. But obviously they havent come from the plateis. I think it's been around 60hrs since i found the eggs so i dont hold much hope...

Not usually

I think it would be safe, but i pretty sure that glass catfish should be kept in groups, they are a schoaling fish and most likely wont be happy on thier own. Also i personally think white clouds are best kept in groups aswell. I would go for bigger groups, from less species

I have some white cloud minnow in a small comunity tank in with some platies. I noticed that one of the platies had dropped so i searched the tank an collected all the remaining fry up into a breeding trap. While i was looking for fry i found some eggs from the minnow on one of the plants. Not...

Is there an aqua-bid equivelent for in the UK?

well, these are the first minnows i have ever kept so i dont know what the eggs look like really. i knew they were egg scatters and did think it was a bit stragne they were in the plant, but the only other fish in the tank are platys. I also found 6 (but keep finding more) platy fry :D which...

thanks for the advice, change of plan, i'm going to cut off the section of plant with the eggs on and put it in a breeeding trap

i have some white cloud minow and they have laid some eggs in one of the plants in my tank, is it ok to remove the plant with the eggs and ut it into an empty tank. there are many other fish in the tank that the eggs are currently in and i dont want them to get eaten

I have about 5/6 years experience of keeping tropical fish, and after a year or two away from the hobby, i want to start keeping them again. I quite like the idea of selectively breeding guppies for thier colour variations to try and see if I can get some nice fish. I am not interested in...
