    Baby fish! Not sure what species...

    Hi folks. Update. So unfortunately the fry didn't survive. However, we have more and it seems a bigger batch! There's lots! Same parents, the male even built a wall in front of the chest ornament and the eggs were laid in there. Fry have hatched and swimming. My question is, what are they...

    Baby fish! Not sure what species...

    Yes very much so, where the fry go, the parents go. They have their one spot which is around the big rock I have in there and the plastic plant (yes I know, plastic isn't great lol)

    Baby fish! Not sure what species...

    I attach some images I've taken. I'll likely get better pics this evening when there is less natural light pollution. Fry seems to be doing okay and are being well guarded by the parents. No doubt lost some but there's plenty in there. They don't eat their young do they? I'm not sure which...

    I'm in the UK, and your offer is most generous. Regrettably, I don't have the space for another tank anywhere 😮‍💨

    Baby fish! Not sure what species...

    Based on the names fired off here, they do look like polar blue parrot cichlids... I will take some better pics if I can and revert :)

    I don't think my camera will pick them up but I'll try. Tiny little things, about 10-15 I think.

    Baby fish! Not sure what species...

    Hi, sorry for the delay in responding. Been unwell, yes, I believe one is albino and they are getting very aggressive. They've confined the neon tetras and the two platys to one corner of the tank 🤦🏼‍♂️. I don't have any baby food or a separate tank. There's a fair number of fry in there. Will...

    Baby fish! Not sure what species...

    Looked in the tank today and I saw little fish everywhere! :D Looks like these two are the parents, I honestly can't for the life of me remember what species they are. Zebra Cichlid? Not sure which is the male or female. Anyone ever have these in their tank? Likelihood of how many, if any...

    Balloon Mollies

    I've seen many posts on here talk about mollys and how they 'drop' every 4 weeks or so, and same for guppies, i have a question, what about balloon mollies? they are round and fat as it is, how can you tell if they are pregnant? also my tank is 30cm high and 30cm depth, if there are fry i'm...

    Food Reccommendations, And Clean Up Crew For Betta?

    mine loves those pellets, feed him too many flakes and his belly will just swell, so i don't feed him flakes anymore. Just 2 pellets a day. As for clean up crew..you're taking a risk with cory cats, i put 2 in my tank and he killed one, i saved the other. Get him live food like daphnia, he eats...

    My New Betta Called Oscar

    i know you can keep them with other fish but chances are your betta will attack it at some point. Not very many are gentle lol i have a crowtail and he's VERY aggressive, killed a cory cat that was in the tank with him :/ now he's on his own and seems a lot happier. I'm not sure if their is a...

    Can Coldwater Fish Thrive In Heated Tanks?

    i don't think the level of 'poo' will increase much from when the temp is 19 to when it is say 25. I don't starve them if that's the impression you're getting. Please don't think because you're running a tank at 17-20 degrees that you don't have to do as many water changes. I have two filters...

    Can Coldwater Fish Thrive In Heated Tanks?

    even tho most household room temps vary from 19-25? Goldfish are scavengers so they will always find left over food thats bound to be in the tank. Cold water or not i've found water changes in a cold tank should be done more regulary than warmer tanks anyway. Like i said so far no problems and...

    Can Coldwater Fish Thrive In Heated Tanks?

    i wouldn't quite say 'underfeeding' i'm very careful as to how much i feed my fish, some people just over load on feeding and throw some in everytime the fish comes to the glass.

    Can Coldwater Fish Thrive In Heated Tanks?

    It's a messy fish so feed them less? one day during the week don't feed them. Goldfish are scavengers, they will find food and keep the tank clean, keep up with the water changes and you shouldn't run into problems. I've had 0 problems so far. The main reason i threw a heater in there was...

    Can Coldwater Fish Thrive In Heated Tanks?

    Oh i'm at the moment running a tank at around 26-27 degrees, it has an oranda,fan tail, black moor, 2 cory cats, 2 platys, they seem do be doing fine and are behaving normal. During the summer the tank was around 25 degrees and then the temp fell to about 19 as Autum approached...slowly started...
