Hi all! I sent message few weeks back to say I'd had my first sign of eggs from a gold severum and black severum but unfortunately they ate the eggs. However after week or so they had more and this time they moved them from filter box down to gravel and I had some wrigglers!! Now about a week on...

Hi all i'v just discovered severum eggs on my filter box and the parents are guarding them like mad - should i remove the eggs to another tank or do you wait for them to hatch? very exciting time cant leave the tank!!

kinda off topic but , those neons are LUNCH Haven't lost a neon yet and Discus show no interest in them - neons are very common to be kept with discus - what do you keep with yours?

Anyone out there successfully treated this? I have 5 discus in a 180ltr tank along with neons, cardinals and some ottos. I do a 50% water change 2-3 times a week. One of the discus has hole in the head and has had for some time now. I'v tried two different treatments and this second one seems to...

Yeh i agree you should def get rid of them - they are too hard for you to look after. I would stick to the community set up if i was you as you can have success with that even if you dont know what your doing!

Hi there! Wouldn't advise clowns with Discus - I had 6 clowns before i changed over to discus and had to get rid of them which was upsetting as I really loved the little guys - they are a great fish brill character. However if you want to focus on Discus - thats really what you need to do. The...

Hi guys - I have 6 discus and one died last night but not sure why. Water chemistry is fine but this guy seemed to be excreting more mucus and he was struggling to breathe. Problem is I have now noticed Hole in the Head on another one although there was no sign of this on the dead one. Can...

Thats great - thanks for your help!! :D

Hi folks!! I have always had juwel aquariums - at present i have a rio 180 but i have been offered a Effect Line aquarium 130x50x50 - 325ltrs and not sure what to do. It is the tank only - no filters, no lighting, no lid - just the tank but it is brand new and I dunno what to do! Can anyone...

Yes dreading doing water change as i dont want to frighten them anymore just yet - I'm aware the water needs changed regularly although is once a week not a bit much?

Hi all - i have just changed my 45g from community to specialise on Discus. I got 6 and put them all in together so as they all had a chance with territories etc. They are in with 11 neons and 3 tetras. The temp is 27 degrees - should i increase? Feeding - I'm not too concerned yet with the...

Thanks for help guys - i shall let you know how i get on!!! I'll prob go for south american maybe get a pair -_-

Hi all - I'v been reading through the forum and decided it would be easier to ask you myself these few questions! I have two tanks - a 180 litre which i have 6 discus in and also a 70 ltr which i had community fish in but have recently cleared it as i want to keep puffer/s. I would rather not...

90 litres and 240 litres

Hi all - I have two tanks at the min - a rekord 90 and a rio 240. The larger one is community fish but i would like to change this to large fish and am considering cichlids. Would the smaller tank be big enough to keep 4 discus in? I have 6 clown loaches in bigger tank which i do not want to get...

GOOD NEWS!!! I found two living fry couple nights ago and put the breeding net in again and put them in it (after hours trying to catch them!!) Sounds sad but i'm delighted i saved some from the group and its awful to see them being ate when you can do nothing about it. These two wee fighters...

It is very possible that he is missing his girlfriend - many fish get attached to eachother and unforunately when one dies the other gets so upset that they then die too. This happened just last week with a lovely pair of angels i'd had for over a year and they looked so healthy but once one...

Hi folks - i have a swordtail who just give birth last night so i put her back into the original tank this morning. Now i notice her mouth has like bits of skin hanging off it and some of the other fish are chasing her. She ate ok when i fed them however she is staying up round the top of the...

I have two kissing gouramis and am getting concerned at the amount of time they are fighting now. At the start when you first see them "kissing" its amazing but now they are at it all the time and I'm wondering is it two males i have - its hard to tell with them. Its amazing the way they try to...

Do you take the adults out once the fry are born or is that the way you leave the tank always? How often do you get fry with the one male and 3 females?

Well my swordtails are just like your platies - shes pops one out, eats it, pops one out, eats it etc etc!! Very annoying as you wait so long for the fry and then that happens. Though what really suprised me was the young babies i have (around two months) eating the new fry - i didnt think...

Hi all! I have a rio 180 and rekord 70 and am starting to breed sword tails. First time i managed to get ten to survive and they are still going great they are around 1.5cm. Around a month ago she had another 25-30 and none survived and last night i noticed she was ready again and i put her into...
