I have a 54L Tank and I do two bucket water changes at once every a week. which is about 75% change. This sounds like to much, am i doing this wrong? jp

Hi I just recently noticed my sunset platy flicking itself on plants. I did my weekly water change today and placed a bowl inside the tank in order to poor my bucket into the tank without disturbing my stones etc. But when i came back from the kitchen I noticed my platy going mental and flicking...

still no babies????

thank you for replies.. it's really bizzare as she STILL hasn't dropped yet, LOL. I have put her back into the main tank as she seems alot more happier there. But after what i witnessed yesterday i swear she was ready and seconds from giving birth., now i bet ya she will do it when im at bloody...

Today I noticed my very pregnant guppy giving all the signs that she was ready to drop. I placed her into my birth tank very carefully to eliminate stress and left her for an hour. She was looking ready to drop at any minute. passing fluid, yellow stuff and even 3 yellow see through balls. Not...

I picked up my Galaxy Rasbora last week for under £5 - English money. Got him from the Tropical pet store. Thats probably why you think my tank is to small because i live in the UK and measurements are different here.

It's a 2 and half foot tank and tetras are tiny?? Sorry I don't understand why you think my tank is so small to house them. here is a pic with my old platy i took back.... my catfish is a Bristlenose Pleco Catfish i think.

Copy and paste in Google images, some of these lovely looking fish... Don't worry about the tetras etc, we all know what they look like. 8x Neon Tetras 1x Galaxy Rasbora - Newly Discovered 1x Red Tail Shark 1x Bristlenose Pleco Catfish 1x Aphyosemion Australe Gold Killifish 1x African Dwarf...

Get some Galaxy Rasbora, look them up...awesome fish! get about 5 and watch the little happy swimmers explore your tank. Also the good thing about them is they have just not long ago been discovered. New to the tropical fish world, and what better sight it is to have a few in your home set-up. I...

Why............ The neons are fine, why would i need to get rid of them? the catfish is a MUST because of algae, he is always as happy as larry swimming sucking his way round the tank. also why the kilifish? I had two playies but 1 bullied so i took it back and got a galaxy Rasbora which i...

Many thanks Jen

Hi all just to let you all know that i have just taken my silver dollar back to the pet shop after all your advice i thought it would be the best idea as he would of got to big

I will be getting another tank next month.. food wise i can use crushed flakes right?

Also what signs do guppies show when due for giving birth.. i have had my pregnant guppy for about 7 weeks and she has been pregnant for about 3/4weeks.

Also what signs do guppies show when due for giving birth.. i have had my pregnant guppy for about 7 weeks and she has been pregnant for about 3/4weeks. When is a good time to put her into my container ?

I have used a plastic container which seems to float fine. Only thing is the water is not being cycled, or is this not really a problem.

i only have the one redtail,... here is my fish list 1x Galaxy Rasbora 1x Red Tail Shark 8x Neon Tetras 1x Catfish 1x Killifish 1x Dwarf Frog 1x Silver Dollar 1x Sunset Platy 3x Guppies

Thanks for all your help jen you been a star.. as for my tank condition i did a half water cahnge about 4 days ago and my ph reads at 7.5 is there anything else i need to check?

My tank is a 54 litre... i know i only have 1 dollar and should have at least 4 but i only have the space for 1. I'm just really shocked and confused as to where my guppy went to. I found the name for my other little fish he is a Galaxy Rasbora. very nice fish...small but very pritty. im hoping...

I will keep a close eye on him and my other fish...if it is white spot it will grow and will become more noticeable. what is a fungal infection?

My dollar is about 4 inches long.... bloody shame, i also have another fish not sure what type but he also is about the same as a tetra.. im scared he might get eaten now?

Hi have a noticed my guppy baby about the size of a tetra has vanished from my tank. could my dollar have killed it?? or eaten it?? please help ty john

Really.... but he was alive and well yesterday now he's gone. And i feel sad!

Hi I have just noticed that 1 of my guppies have vanished from my tank. 1 had 4 of them and now i only have 3. Is it possible that my silver dollar had it for lunch... if so are the rest of my fish in danger? i have 8 tetra, 1 platy, 4 but now 3 guppy, 1 kilifish, 1 frog, 1 catfish, 1 redtail...

I don't have any money for a net etc... however i have seen pics and vids online with people using a mini tank and placing it inside the main tank. holding just the pregnant guppy. I dont have a mini tank but is there anything around the house i could possible use? thanks again

Hi I have a guppy which is pregnant and ready to give birth in the next few days. I don't have a breeding tank and would like to keep the fry. problem is they will all get eaten. Is there anything I could use or put in my tank that i can use to keep the pregnant guppy in and it's fry when born...

Those silver dollars look big. how many inches would you say they are and how old do u think they are? nice tank btw....im jelous lol

oh that doesn't sound to good at all. When I bought my silver dollar he was the only one in the tank along with some guppies etc. I asked how long he had had him and the keeper replied about a couple of months. He currently measures around 4 inches. I was told he might half that again, but...

Thank you for you reply. My redtail has its own cave within my tank and never bullies any off my other fish. I have just came home from work and did my daily 2nd feed which i was hoping my silver dollar would see some action but again he just wasn't interested, even when putting food in front of...

thanks for the advice, but what do u mean by rtbs? cheers again john

my tank is a Rekord 60 - 54 Litres Measurements tank. I feed them all TetraMin twice a day, and also add frozen blood worm once every 2 days. and also algae waffers and TetraTabimin for my catfish. My dollar swims around slowly, I beleive he has enough swim space at present... but conserned...

Thanks in advance to any help given regarding my new fish i bought 2 days ago. It's a lovely silver Dollar but in the 2 days I have had him, he has missed every feeding session because he spends all his time staring at the tank glass. What advice could you give as I am concerned that he might...

But when i just had the 1 in my tank he was happy as larry... since the new arrival platy he has become bullied. and i dont plan on getting anymore...not 4 anyway"!!

Thankyou.... Is this a common problem then with Platy fish?

Do you think they might let me return the Platy back to the fish shop keeper if it carries on? Every time I look at the tank, sunset is being nipped. And yes I have the tank setup perfectly. Filters etc. which also has Minimal surface movement.

Hi.. I have had my tank set up and running perfect for the last 2 months or so and I have just bought 3 new arrivals to my tank. I currently have 1x Redtail Shark, 1x Catfish, 8x Tetras, 1xKillifish, 1x Dwarf Frog, 1x Sunset Platy, 2x Guppy adults and 2x Guppy babies. I introduced a new Platy...
