Hey I'm still going to get shrimp from you in the new year if you have any, I have 6 at the moment as I had 7 but one died. I think another is on it's way out as it's lying on it's back and has been for the last two days, I just don't get it! The tank is well maintained, there is no copper in...

Hello thanks for the quick reply :-) I would like to have a planted tank, basically keep everything as it is in my 64ltr tank that is currently filled with community fish. I have a second 16ltr tank that I currently use to house growing fry from guppy, platy and Molly and a few cherry shrimp Ive...

Thank you for that :-) glad I don't have to use peat :-)

Ok I have read a bit further into this, with help from GAB99, was very helpful :good: If you have any advice though, the more the merrier :lol:

Hello everyone. I have a 64ltr community set up, with the usual guppy, molly, platy, cory, pleco, kribensis and dwarf gourami inhabitants. I love my fish and I love watching the livebearers having fry and watching them grow and see how they turn out, but I feel I am beginning to wish for...

I have a bunch of guppies in my tank, I breed guppies. What are you looking for exactly? I do not breed anything specific. I enjoy buying very long talied males and as attractive as possible females, all of different colours and patterns and just see what I end up with. I have adults, teenagers...

Hi Rory, your list is pretty bad in all honesty. Some of the fish you have listed will be eaten by other fish, some of the fish grow incredibly large, whilst others are far too small on comparison, some should only be kept in a species only tank. It really concerned me ready your list. Let me...

Two of my male guppies have ripped and tatty fins, a very sad sight. I originally put it down to my kribs possibly biting them, but then I noticed one of my platys "arm fins" (sorry for non technical speak) also looked a bit tatty. I do regular water changes in my 64ltr tank, so it shouldn't be...

Sorry not sure what happened there! Was meant to say thanks for that info I'll check it out :good:

I have searched online for a book about tropical freshwater shrimp, but I can't find anything :sad: I would like something really detailed with pictures, breeding info, species etc etc just like you would find in a good fish book. I know there is a "what invertebrate" book but that's for marine...

There are many different shrimp which fall into this category. The Latin names start with caridina (sometimes incorrectly referred to as cardinia) and is best to keep one colour/species of caridina as they interbreed. The cherry shrimp should be referred to as red cherry shrimp or red fire...

Vinegar eels hey? I have apple cider, will they already be in there or do I have to put yeast in? Bit confusing. Can they be seen with the naked eye? Thanks

I have now moved the threadfin rainbowfish to the baby tank now, and just watched them feed. I feed my fry on flake dust, and it seems to be the only thing they can fit in their mouths too. Poor things, I hadn't been crushing the flakes for the other tank, just assumed as they're adult fish they...

Thanks for that, very helpful! As for green water, what do you mean by that? Algae? How about newly hatched baby brine shrimp? Or fish flake dust? (finely ground flake) eek!

I have two tanks set up, one is a peaceful community tank and the other tank is for my guppy, platy and Molly fry and 5 cherry shrimp. I want to move my threadfin rainbowfish into the fry and rcs tank as they have been doing the showing off their fins thing to eachother and think they may spawn...

Ok well what I have done is separated the saplings from the mother plant, so after Xmas and once I've got packaging I'll let you know. Thanks guys :good:

Ok, well I'm working all this week even Saturday, so do you think there will be any left next week? Not sure what my days off will be yet though.

I don't think they can really, as I work in a pet store on the Aquatics department but when we receive our weekly order list there's no pictures, only fish names, genus and prices. :sad: I ordered in what was listed as premium quality fancy guppies in red. When they arrived they had medium...

I'm in Plymouth, south Devon.

I am trying to breed some fancy guppies, I have males that have nice long fancy tails, but find it difficult to find females with this in their genes, keep getting short finned spotted tailed ones, which isn't what I'm after :-(

I want some please. Basically works out at £1.50 a shrimp so happy with that. When you gonna wanna start posting and roughly what size will they be? Can you make sure there are males and females (can you tell?) thanks :-)

I have two mosses now, java moss and flame moss (I think) or could be xmas, really not sure. I've seen mopani wood, just haven't found a good tree shaped one with branches yet. Have been thinking of going to the woods to see what I can find, but it's not really a place I want to go on my own...

I think I'm gonna leave it until after Xmas as I want them to arrive without delays, plus I'm gonna need to purchase packaging materials. Watch this space... So just so I know, do any of you want to purchase more than one? And if so, in what quantity? Helps me figure out packaging sizes. Thanks :-)

I have been offered a juwel rio 180 fish tank with all the parts I need minus the light unit panels and bulbs. There is a make shift wooden lid with a light attached, but I really want the proper thing. Had a look on eBay and for all those parts it's costing £100 :sad: anyone know any cheap...

Ooh ooh make two I'll pay you for it! (not a fortune though please lol) but seriously make two I am interested! Don't make the branches too thin or long though as they will snap when you put them in the hot thingy ma jig. Ooh ooh make two I'll pay you for it! (not a fortune though please lol)...

Not that far away, the price is good, but the price of fuel would probably sabotage that :sad: are you not posting because of the current weather, or would you just not post full stop? As I'm willing to wait if thats the case.

I have roughly 15, maybe more. How many would each of you want. I'll do them pretty cheap. Originally mother plant cost me £3.25 from pets at home. So how does 50p sound per plant? They are on average 15cm tall at the mo, but grow incredibly fast! How does one post an aquatic plant? Any tips...

I live in south Devon. How much would you want for them? They did have them in Maidenhead Aquatics, but they were extremely pricy, I know that trade prices are a few 100 percents cheaper, as I have to order fish where I work, so couldn't justify paying the price they wanted. I keep trying to...

Get in touch with one of my local aquatic stores called Maindenhead aquatics Plymouth. I went in there today and they had loads! I am not sure if they usually post fish to customers, but they may make an exception if you ask nicely.

Lol! I put an order in for these at my work, we are going to be selling these for £1.99 each or 3 for £5. Only problem is that our supplier cannot send us any livestock at the moment due to the weather conditions. :rolleyes:

Hey guys, me again, always wanting something or other. This time I am trying to see if anyone has a male and female Blue Ramirezi / German Blue Ram / Electric Blue Ram of same/similar age I can buy, for breeding purposes. (obviously both of the same type) Perhaps one of you breeds them? I do not...

Hey I have a giant straight vallis and a twisted vallis. The giant vallis I noticed has started to grow shoots for the baby plants (sorry for un-technical language) which worries me slightly, as the twisted vallis has gone crazy growing loads of baby plants everywhere. I am going to do a bit of...

I want one depending on the size. Let me know the cost. Looks very pretty

Ok cool thanks let me know when :-)

Does anyone know any good websites on Aquascaping with pictures, plant names and possibly an online uk based shop all in one? Basically a fool proof one lol!

Are you still selling them?
