Not sure if mollies are greedy.

I'm pretty sure all fish will eat dead ones. confused.gif

We had mollies and they was greedy buggers. My boyfriend use to feed them 3 times a day thats what it said on the food see. Our water was really bad then our fish dyed. We only feed them now every other day like the pet shop told us. Why does it state on pack to feed them that much? I really want a clown lurch again I loved the one we had. We put tiger barbs in and there was may em. We lost 3 of our fish and they killed 4 of their own. Then white spot broke ou to finish us off. But its all sorted now, I get so excited when our water is ok sad really! x laugh.gif

Personally I would feed them once or twice a day. 3times is too much and you will get too much crap appearing in your tank and your bacteria won't be able to keep up.

Yes thats what they said at pet shop. What fish have you found quiet hardy fish? The ones in the pet shops that they have suggested have dyed for us. We find the garamis quiet hardy but want something that will go with them. Our neons are ok at the moment but we always seem to loss one or two. We did have rednose tetras they dyed guppies dyed to quickly too. Its hard work plus expensive too.

Never had expericne with gouramis. So you'd have to read up on that.

I'd say platies were quite hardy. I got 7 of them in a 5 week old cycled tank and they were fine. However do some research, there may be community fish that can tolerate a wide range of pHs and nitrates etc.

Hi there, thanks for that I will keep them in mind for the next fish I buy. I dont think my neons are doing to well they always look like they have a flicking movement going on. The garamis were my boyfriend choice even thou they are not as cheep as neons, guppies ect they are quiet hardy fish we have found. They always look happy and dont catch white spot like the smaller ones. How are your tanks going are you having any sleep with all that noise of the pumps ect?

Sleep comes easy when you only have 5-6 hours a night.

Should be getting the next two 100 litre ones soon. =]

I am sure its my flying fox damaging my neons. What should I do? I love my flying fox! the neons I have gone off them because they course to much trouble. You can never really see em either cos they hide at the bottom under the filter most of the time.
