Hey guys, thanks for all your replies. Don't panic, I'm going to be re-homing a lot of the platies to make more space. I'm going to call up my LFS to see if they accept them. As for the corys I decided to go for 4 small peppered corys and they are having great fun swimming around together and...

Yeah I thought it would be fine to mix species, but just wanted to check :). I've been soaking a nice big piece of drift wood in warm water for the last week or so and will be adding it to the tank in the next few days. Its shaped so that there are plenty of hiding places for the corys. After...

Hi All,   I need some advice on some new fish for my current well established 60 litre aquarium. I currently have around 15 platies of various colours (some of these are babies born in the tank), 3 WCMMs and 3 Sterbai Corys.   I really love watching corys and I used to have more, but a few...

Hi Manxjason, Thanks for getting back to me. I think you were right and it was a bacterial infection, but it seems to have cleared up since. Yesterday I decided to do a partial water change of about 20% as I had not done one since getting my new fish around a week ago. Anyway, this morning it...

Hi guys, I recently bought some guppies from my LFS (two males and 4 females) and they have been fine for a week, but this morning I found that one of the females had died for some unknown reason. The other guppies are fine apart from one female who seems to have developed a red spot on her...

They are some good looking gourami you got there :) Any tropical plants are good really, but I do reckon you need a few more. Also, I know that they like floating plants so you could get some floating lettuces in there.

I hope so! I am pretty excited about it all. Does anyone know how many eggs will be laid/released and how many will potentially survive? I have experience breeding molly's which I know are quite different. They had a few babies and about 3 grew to a reasonable size and now I am left with a...

Hi again all! So after getting some airline tubing and some mini water lettuce plants I've just noticed that my male dwarf gourami is creating a bubble nest! It's awesome! He's been picking up bits of plants and mostly getting air and using that to make an awesome looking bubble nest. I would...

Good stuff. I've just ordered some off ebay. It comes in 4 metre lengths, but I won't need that much :rolleyes: Once I have the tubing then I'll sort out some water lettuce and hopefully my dwarf gouramis will be breeding in no time! Thanks again for the help and suggestions. I'll keep you...

Thanks for the tip. I might give that a go. Just out of interest, what did you make the ring out of? Also, what floating plants did you decide to use? I hear that floating lettuce are pretty good.

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated. I've just been watching them and the male was actually following the female around just now. There has also been less nipping and more just being close to each other so I think you are right. One question though, it would be awesome if they did...

Hi All, I have just joined the forum so hello to everyone. As for tropical fish I have about a years experience in keeping corydoras, mollies, platies, minnows and guppies. Also recently bought a bristlenose catfish who is awesome. I know some of you will have years experience so I value your...
