heres a link to a pic of the fry: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3580/345360...2ac557280_o.jpg you can only see a few of them because they kind of blend in with the sand but it gives you an idea of how sperm like they really are lol enjoy!!

I have some bolivan ram fry and have been advised to feed them on baby brine shrimp but i dont know where to get them from. i was told at the lfs that i can get them online and hatch them myself but im struggling to find what i need and since i have no idea what im doing none of it makes sense...

we can certainly try and get some pics later, if theres any decent ones i'll upload them :)

just a quick update they are now free swimming and it is the wierdest thing ive ever seen! it looks like theres loads of sperm in the tank lol!

thanx guys, i shall get some liquifry for the first week then look at some live food! hopefully they'll survive and i'll let those of you who are interested know about homing some of them

Last night i suddenly realised that there are bolivian ram fry in the tank. the pair started making a nest a few days ago now but previous attempts at raising fry ended up with them eating them at the egg stage. Unfortunatly they have no decided they want the babies and have waited until i got...

this has now been sold, thanx for the interest! :D

i have photos just going to get mark to get the links to them. its 60cm long, im in stechford

I am selling a tank with hood and light. It is in good condition. size 30x30x60cm. Hasnt been used for over a year as I upgraded. Im in birmingham if anyones interested, will also give away an internal filter and heater,not sure if these work but dont need them anymore so will give them away...

I have a 60x30x30cm tank with hood and light that im looking to sell, in ok condition no leaks just needs a clean. also have a filter and heater if needed would chuck these in for free though as i dont know if they still work. looking for about £15, im in stechford - birmingham

hi wilder sorry for the delayed response, firstly thank you very much for your replies. the female seems to have improved dramatically since ive been trying to lower the ph, ive also added some stress coat. she is swimming around almost normally again, eating and her colour is improving. the pH...

looks like 2 males to me too, dont know how they'll get along, i have 2 males and 1 female (on advice from the shop which i now know is wrong), the males fight but no one gets injured and the female has chosen her mate all though she doesnt seem to like him sometimes either lol

well first of all it was like little flecks of white like sugar grain size and the fish was flicking and rubbing against things in the tank. i treated with the amount it said on the bottle for the full course but it didnt say anything about not using it with corys or halving the dose (maybe i...

about 2 months ago after adding a couple of new fish, one of my older corys looked like it developed white spot. i tried to treat it but nothing seemed to work. no other fish showed any symptoms so i tried to treat it with internal parasite medicine, this didnt work either and after a few weeks...

I dont want to sound harsh but you really shouldnt breed your jack russell cross just because you want to breed him. there are already so many unwanted dogs and puppies about that another litter will not help. also unless you really know what you're doing its very dangerous for the mother and...

pets at home black sand, its fab and didnt really need rinsing either would recommend to anyone, was well worth the extra money :good:

beautiful :)

goldfish will eat whatever fits into their mouths so dont do it! unless you dont like youre fish that is lol. my friend did the same thing and the goldfish didnt stop growing it loved the warmer water but loved the live food more ;)

looks lovely, i like the fire in the room just as much though! i want a stove :(

beautiful girls! ive always liked this breed, i think they are stunning dogs :)

i had a shrimp carrying eggs a few months ago. it is an amano shrimp i think, i asked on here about what to do with the babies, apparently even though the shrimp are kept in freshwater they originally were from saltwater so even though they have adapted to freshwater the babies havent so they...

glad you found it :) its suprising where they manage to get stuck

ok, thanx for the advice. i'll reduce the food and keep a close eye on the water. thanx for both your quick replys, you've put my mind at ease. hopefully the little fishy will heal on its own. theres not alot i can do until tuesday anyway as the shops are closed now and i working a 12hr shift...

do you think i should put the carbon filter back in just incase the fin rot treatment is affecting the bacteria? im concerned that the nitrate is so low, i know it shouldnt be high but its barely a reading above 0

once again i have a sick harlequin rasbora. it is the largest of the group and now has a red sore on what i would describe as the underside of its chest which is also swollen. the fish is swimming normally and eating well. this sore has appeared since yesterday. i would get a picture but it wont...

they may have become used to the bad water, and when new fish are added they are used to better water conditions which means they die after being added. dont know if im right but just a theory

i'd say once a month isnt enough for a water change, 20% once a week would be better. if they are showing no signs of being nipped or attacked it sounds like a water problem. you should really buy a test kit. could you not measure the tank?

me and mark always buy free range chicken and their eggs, and many of you in the Uk may have seen Hughs chicken run this week on tv. well its spurred us on to look at getting a few chickens of our own. we have a small but nice sized garden which could easily accomodate 6 chickens and we have an...

i dont know if he was eating really, its hard to tell them apart. ive only had that batch a few months so wouldnt imagine it was old age. i guess it'll just be a mystery

we decided it was best to euthanise the fish late last night. i have never had a fish go like this before except harlequins. the poor guy was very thin and the smallest in the group. it happened so quickly. oh well hopefully no one else will go the same way

arent nano reefs really difficult to keep due to their size? especially for someone who (no offence) sounds like they have little knowledge of fish (your friend not you)

a few weeks ago i lost a harlequin rasbora as its whole tail dissapeared within a day, i thought that since it was a new group he/she was the runt of the gang and got picked on. today another has exactly the same symptoms. i havent seen anyone chasing it and witihin a few hours it has become...

i dont know if you have jolly ranchers over in canada i know america does, we used to have them here and they were my favourite sweets but we cant get them here anymore. i love them so much that my boyfriend bought me 4 bags of jolly ranchers sours a bag of lollys and about 6 small packs of the...

looks stunning, i was talking about doing the same thing with my tank, you've just convinced me that i will lol

thanx for the reply chuka, they have survived ich treatment and fin rot treatment before and they way it reads to be is that it only affects marine invertabrates so ive used it. if they die its a shame but this really needs treating incase all the fish become infected. fingers crossed they'll be...

i posted a couple of days ago about one of my fish has a white patch, well ive done more research and it looks like slime disease. i bought some treatment but then read on the back that it shouldnt be used with invertebrates. will it kill my shrimp if i use it? is there anything else i can do to...

we're in birmingham, anyone know any reliable plasteres in the area who wont charge a fortune? we did consider using a steamer but it seems like a tedious job when we have the whole house to do we also considered using plaster boards but again this could get tricky. the house was but in the...

one of my silver tip tetras has suddenly become ill, it is hiding behind the filter tube most of the time but does come out now and again and is swimming normally. it has a white patch on its side, not ich. i have searched for both slime disease and fungus' but cant ind many pictures. the white...

i had exactly the same problem with a bronze cory a couple of months ago. she stayed like that for over a week, wouldnt eat wouldnt move and would just sit there breating slowly. eventually she died, everyone else was fine and the water was perfect. i still dont know what happened. hopefully...

my female has been in the tank just over 24 hours now but already they are building a den and seem to have paired up perfectly. heres the link if you want to see them, you can see the male kicking all the sand out and chasing off any other fish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NweqUPhvO6I its a...
