i do research on my fish everytime before i buy and i knew someone who had been keeping fish since he was 5 and knows alot and that in some cases you can 'bend the rules' learned alot from him tbh, We clean the tank twice a week with just a 10% water change and the tank has been running for over...

Well the extra hondurans are only babies as in like half an inch long they're going to my bf's mums soon is just a temporary solution and all the fish are small atm, so they ain't cramped at all. Plus none of the fish fight at all except this one festive that just seems to be a bit aggressive...

from about mid last week until this morning i have found a dead platy in my tank being munched on by my festive cichlid. After i take the cichlid out he starts trying to go for the Black neons and red phantom tetra's thankfully not catching any though. But recently i have lost alot of platies...

Starting about mid last week until today , everytime i go to turn my fish tank lights on i notice there is a dead platy floating at the top of the tank and ,my fetive cichlid is sat munching at it. After i take the platy out it looks like he is trying to have a go at my Red phantom tetra's and...

Haha mine is the boss of the tank also, If i go near the tanks when he's spawning he will fend me off flaring and trying to attack me, He sends ALL the rest of the fish down the other tank. We have less fish in the tank than in the video, I took the video when we had 2 tanks down now all our...

From the picture you just posted it looks more like a female, The other picture you posted i would of put money on it being 100% a Male. Maybe it was the angle of the picture taken. I've taken a good examination of the male and female honduran's that i have and compared to yours, The new pics...

My Honduran red point's also do that and they've never had white spot. Also i think your 'female' is a male. Has a lump on his head and it's a bit too big to be a female. Here's a video of my old tank with HRP's - There's a clear visual a male from a female...

I've had this Dwarf Gourami for about 6 months maybe now , and about 2 weeks ago my bf saw it at the bottom of the tank lying down hardly able to swim so he took it and put it into a big trap we have to prevent it from being eaten. We can't figure out whats wrong with it though , since it has...

Hello, Our breeding pair of Honduran red point's are at it again, a full new tribe of them maybe 100+ again. But this time we have a problem. Last night our angel fish started being more aggressive towards every fish and seemed to be hanging around our filter a lot, I said to my girlfriend 'I...

Only thing is the female 'blue eyed' hasn't got blue eyes.

Can anyone help me identify this fish ? it got sold to me as a blue eyed cichlid , well i got a pair but as i look at them in the tank they look totally different. I have a pair of red point hondurans in the tank that the fish looks more like but it still looks different. So here is the ? fish...

Did it work

I live in manchester england, Anyone know where i can buy Levimasole for my aquarium, None of the stuff i've used is working so gonna go all out, Only problem is the fact i dont think i can buy it in the UK, Anyone know a place online or anyone who can sell me some personally.

We recently transfered a few fish to our 3ft tank, Mostly our livebearers so the tank isn't overstocked and added 2 more chiclid's into it, Called 'Blue eyed cichlids' They was a breeding pair in the shop and we _HAD_ a breeding pair of honduran's, Once we added the blue eyed's the male honduran...

Honduran Red Points are really nice fish, We have close to 100 fry of their's. They are excellent parents also... Actually they are amazing parents to protect the fry against all the bad #16##### fish we have lol.

Not sure exactly what to do, Any ideas?

I went to C.M.C aquatics and wigan today and asked about the water and he said it could be because we are overfeeding them and too many nutrients are in the water, This could be true i'll hold my hand up to overfeeding purely on the fact i feel sorry for them lol. How often do you guys feed...

We have about 4-5 plants in the tank, They are pretty big. Maybe get some more?

We changed to sand from gravel that's when the problem started. Our light is a very powerful one, http://www.arcadia-uk.info/userfiles/image/Arcadia_aquarium_img.jpg we have something similar to that with 3 lights in it. Maybe if we turned the colour off and maybe put an extra filter in? We...

hehe, but we switch lights on when we get home from work, and turn them off when we go to sleep so that's like 6-7 hours of light they get, Which isn't much really, Would a huge water change get rid of the algae or would we be better leaving the light off for a while.

In a tank we've had setup for 6 months we've not got this big algae problem it's in the water, It's turned the water green. We had a test done on our water and everything was fine apart from PH now we've had it tested again and everything's fine. The water has a nasty smell to it, Not sure...

I know what your saying but tbh i don't agree with the whole this fish shouldn't go with that fish thing because certain fish have different behaviours so some get along more fine than others obviously depending on the fish too , like i wouldn't be daft enough to put two male fighters in the...

No as i said before they are still quite young only about 2 inches tall each , they just all shoal together atm. I knew what i was doing when i bought them. My ex taught me alot about fish he kept them since he was 4 and knew ALOT about them. He kept fish together you's would probably say...

New fish we added about a 2 months ago , it was a Ram. But we did add two cory's this morning but they had been in our fry tank for about 2 weeks and all our fry are fine. And our betta's looked kinda ill before we put them in , i thought the betta's were messing around as sometimes they hang...

Ok why do i have to rehome all my fish? , none of them bother each other , the male doesn't even bother the females much at all. Plus all my fish aren't adult size so yes i do know eventually i would have to move some of them but for now they are fine. I will do another wather change and see...

Hi thanks for answering me. To answer your questions : I don't know what gallons the tank is but we worked it out to be about 150 litres i wrote all my fish in my signature it's the 4ft tank so about 35 fish Yeah we had 1 male fighter to 3 females fighters And there shouldn't be any...

Hi can anyone help , over the last few hours our male and 2 out of three female fighter fish have all of a sudden taken a turn for the worse , they are lying on there sides and backs one was swimming upside down at the top of the tank being pecked by other fish so i removed it quickly . But...

Had another question actually , Can baby fry have fry? One of my month old platies looks pregnant somehow, dunno if she is or if she just ate too much but is it possible?

ah thanks , thats totally weird to think that lol. But quite interesting thanks. Are they now a whole different species or do we just call them a coffee red tuxedo cross?

Hi i was just wondering if it is possible to cross breed platies. We have coffee platies and red tuxedo platies in the same tank and one of our female coffee platies had 3 fry one of which looks like half it's body is a slight orange colour, whereas the other 2 look just like the mother. Then...

Look at the setup in my signature, We have no fin nippin no squabbling no deaths. I think it depends on the personality of your fish. Actually my signature don't show the betta's but we have 1 male siamese fighter and 3 female's

Hi was just reading a thread about how someone had 33 platy fry. My platies have gave birth only once each but i have only had three then two then two fry . Is this normal ? or is it just because they are giving birth in the middle of the night and eating the majority of them?

It's only been two days i think since we took the fry off her. She seems chirpy sometimes then next time you look at her depressed, just depends when you look at her . Was gonna do a big water change actually , but my bf is watching the football atm and need his help :/ lol

I have a pair of Honduran Red Points that had fry about 2 weeks ago now , after a day i took over half the fry out the tank into another tank. It took me a while to get them so i decided to leave what was left in the tank and see how it went , after about a week to my surprise it looked like the...

Yeah freaked me out when i first saw the big one , then when i saw more in the bucket i knew we had a problem. Took all the fry out the tank last night , felt quite bad mum was going crazy but had to be done. Will try find a copper medicine , bound to have one have collected quite a few...

Just emptied the bucket down the toilet and noticed the bucket is full of wriggling little brown things , possibly more larvae just smaller. Will aquarium salt get rid of these? I really don't understand where these have come from. I'm really worried they will affect my fish. I am definately...

I was just cleaning out my tank and as i lifted a pipe up to clean underneath i noticed a wriggling creature emerge from it, I immediately sucked it up through panic. I left the crap settle in the bucket i then netted it up and noticed it had a 2 pronged tail and 6 legs it was also long and...

I was thinking that but thought it might be abit cruel since they had the tank first lol, but if it's best for all then guess i'll do that instead , thanks for replying :)
