Yes thats what I meant guys, Protozin kills the parasite to stop it killing other fish, at list you can stop neon tetra disease.

I'm not a liar, on my protozin medicine bottle, it treats a number of things including neon tetra disease.

You are 100 % Right, my first fish were from pets at home (petsmart) and all the time they kept dieing, i had like 6 neons die from them, 1 sucking loach, a platty. So we decided to go to a proper place and they founded a problem, I think it might of been neon tetra diesese and they gave me some...

Thing is dude, only my platty died of suspected fin rot, the guppie that died this morning well we dont know what she died of, the women at the LFS didn't look at it under the microscope. So like I said i'm confused...

Thanks guys, she just said that the nitrate level or something was low and I realy needed to do a water change. From now on I will do a weekly water change. Melafix does treat bacterial infections dont it? I readed on the box about it. I dont know what the nitrate level the LFS detected but she...

Thanks for the information CFC. Are bristlenose's cat fish? If so I might buy them or I might even buy snakeheads

It holds 15 gallons of water.

Sorry for posting this thread in the wrong place :( Also thanks for the information. So basicly Clown loaches cannot be breaded at home and also a group of 3 would be good? Well at the momment in my community tank I have: 7 Black Neon Tetras, 1 sucking loach 3 platies 3 guppies 10 or more...

Grassmere Aquatics is a good place as well, so is Holy Bush, them 2 places I use.

So only cichlids protect there fry untill they grow up?

Is there any other type of fish apart from cichlids that do this? By the way thanks for the information guys :)

Can anyone tell me about Clown Loaches, i'm keen on buying 1 or 2 and i'm also keen on breeding them. Are they easy to breed? Also what size do they grow to, I would br thinking about putting them in a community tank. Thanks, Sam

They also said to my mum that if any other fish trys to go to there eggs or if they are already born and swimming round as fry, the parent will protect her fry and will possibly kill any other fish that trys to eat her fry...

I see thanks, maybe it was a cichlids, they told my mum a name but she forgot.

My mum went to my LFS the other week and she was talking about breeding fish, she mentioned about the Livebearers but also the lady said to my mum that there is only one type of fish that protects there eggs and when the fry are born, protects the fry untill they get bigger. Which type of fish...

Congrats on breeding them :) I felt like that when my Platie breeded for the first time in my community tank, the fry she had are now growing up, they survied in my community tank :) She recently gave birth to a second batch. Do you plan to keep all your fry? Goodluck Drlife202

I went to my local shop, my water was tested fine. The women said that it might be because the fish is old, I asked I only had it for a couple of weeks, she said because that fish might of been interbread! I was like :( Anyway things seem ok now, she also suggested Melafix.

Hi, Can someone help me please, I woke up this morning and I noticed my male Guppie wont stop hovering at the top of my tank near my heater, in the same place. I can't think what it could be, about 4 weeks ago I had to treat my tank for a parasite and also then had to treat for bacteria using...

Yep, they apparently breed alot, I will just sell some to my LFS.

Ok, thanks, I will wait till she looks very fat then move her into my net, Thanks, Sam

Thanks for the reply, But lately I noticed it's Gravid Spot has been getting bigger, when do you think I should put it in it's breeding net?

Hi all, Can you help me, I bought a net breader today and I dont know if she is due to go in it yet or not. I have some pics, I dont think there very clear but they will do. She recently gave bith and her last fry are swimming around my tank, about 1 week and a half ago not 100 % sure. When do...

Ok, thanks alot for your help. I will get a breeding net and put the mother in it and see if she gives birth in there, Thanks, Sam

I went to the pet shop and they had no breeding nets in. She said the fry are almost impossible to catch with a net if the mother gave birth and released them in the tank. One of my Platies has a gravid spot so does that mean she is pregnant still?

Thanks for your help guys, 1 of my platies has a gravid spot, I think she is still pregnant shall I get a breeding net as soon as possible?
