hi-thanks everyone for their advice - I figured mum wanted to be a 'single parent family' :lol: but just wanted to double check as this is a new experience for me. I bought some frozen baby brine shrimp when the first batch of eggs was laid but I was wondering when to feed it to the babies? I...

Hi - I have a pair of Kribs in a 50ltr tank (by themselves). I had them in my community tank but when I realised they had paired up I bought them a tank of their own so they could 'love' each other :wub: Anyway the first lot of eggs were white (not fertilised??) & were eaten however over the...

I got it about a fortnight ago and couldnt remember what was written on the tank by the time I got home! however I was assured by the aquarium that the fish was gentle, placid.. blah blah blah... I dont know why I even continue to ask as it's obvious they dont know.. or care.. i've yet to work...

Hi Can anyone please help me identify what species this catfish is? I know the pictures aren't the best but it's a silvery colour with darker silver stripes down the side. It spends nearly all it's time in the log so I rarely see it and when I do it swims so darn fast that sometimes I wonder...

my healthy one had died by the time I got home from work yesterday :-( I guess I will never know what was wrong which is the most frustrating. My housemate suggested that it could be a heavy metal related thing such as copper etc that the ppmints are particularly sensitive to. All my other...

Hi it does sound similiar to the symptoms but 99% of the causes dont fit!!! I guess it only takes one cause to start the ball rolling :angry: the sick ppmint was dead this morning :sad: the healthy one is still in the tank - would it be worth while treating the tank - similiar to a...

Hi this tank is just for the interim - they will be moved into a 600ltr tank within the next week or so! :drool: I can't wait!!!!! As for the white abdomen - it's actually white looking internally if that makes sense?!! :crazy: So there is nothing on the surface of the skin - my healthy...

Hi I've had two peppermint bn's die in the last 48 hrs and I cant work out why? :( The first one looked to have whitish marks on its abdomen just before it died and then the next morning I found another one in a similiar condition. This morning I woke up and a third one let my teeny tiny...

Sorry to keep annoying everyone but I've just read that peas or a salt bath can help constipation/bloating - however they were referring to other types of fish and I couldnt find anything that mentioned killifish. Would it be ok to try either/both of these remedies on my panchax? cheers Maranda

Well my panchax is still kicking on... still swollen... still sitting on bottom of tank.... still breathing hard :( I guess all i can do is wait and hope that he gets better :( I fed them all for the first time in two days - just brine shrimp but I didnt see him eat anything (not that I...

Thanks for the response! Although I wouldnt call myself a novice nor a professional fish keeper I do sometimes rely on the advice given to me by LFS owners. This is what aggravates me the most because it seems they are either so hell bent on making a sale or so clueless about what they sell...

Yesterday when I came home I noticed one of my golden panchax has a VERY swollen upper belly region (doesnt extend past halfway down its body) and it was sitting on the bottom of the tank :( . The other one was doing it's usual thing at the top of the tank - about a half hour later I noticed...
