ok so here we have picks of fatty and skinny. they were both purchased on the same day (afew months ago now) and both looked very similar in size to one n other... but now as you can see one is growing nicely and getting fat, while the other has become rather skinny looking   i search the tank...

shes swimming about with her head pointing downwards and tail up in the air and also has a big pink lump coming out her bum. is there anything i can do?

my peppered corys fertalise and lay eggs every month with out fail and my leopard danios every couple of weeks ive not made any changes to my water at all so i would say they are pretty easy to breed if u want eggs. only thing i do tend to do is when i see the corys T'ing (fertalising the eggs)...

well we counted over 30 babies when they hatched but two weeks later theres only one babie swimming around and no sign of any dead ones, yes i did cover up the filter. but anyway my danios have laid more eggs today lolfrisky lil things they are

good point there

yeah he really is that deformed. the glass was just to get a closer pic poor thing lol. he went like that at 1-2 weeks old ive had them like that before, lasted well into adulthood i know sometimes u have to be cruel to be kind but i dont think i could bring myself to kill him off other than...

my deformed guppy

guppys at afew days old are normally a transparant greyish colour then turn black before getting any other colour so would have to agree with everyone else deffo a platty

ah dont have any pics of the eggs sorry they were tiny, about the size of a grain of sugar (maybe smaller) and transparant but she laid loads so seeing as i had no substrate in the tank just loads of plastic weed (to stop the parents getting at the eggs) you could say it looked like i'd missed...

lol sorry :fun: have u definately got a male? he looks slimline while the females have a bigger belly. i really didnt do anything to encourage them. hang in there, they will be at it before u know it :)

my danio eggs have been hatching today lots of really tiny babies :)

lol. well in the last 2 days i have guppy fry, danio eggs and now cory cat eggs too i have 1 male n 3 female danios

i just watched mine. when i saw the male circling and chasing a female, i put them all in the nursing tank with nothing but plastic weed covering the bottom (some prefer to use marbles or stones) that way the eggs drop to the bottom an the parents cant get at them. when my females looked...

hmmm well i have 3 leopard danios, 1 x male, 3 x female and have rather alot of eggs from them. i know the eggs are theirs as i placed only the danios in a nursing tank. following morning i have lots of eggs anyway i have just regular tapwater have not added anything to it and am not in a soft...
