Well I defo have a new tank now so im hoping another 1 will get up the duff & I can use it... I feel terrible the poor mum died the next day. I only put her in the birthing tank as she looked so distressed I thought she was being bullied I didnt even know she was pregnant, it was a total fluke...

No its not a net, its like a plastic box thing that floats in the tank with the rest of the fish. there is a good 2 inches above the water level. If 1 of the other fish got in I cant understand why it didnt eat them all or how it even got in & out without me noticing.......

Hi - well on Saturday i was asking for help with 32 Platty babies, got fab advice. Only Problem is they have all disappeared apart from 1 !!!! The babies were born in a floating birthing tank after mother had given birth I put her back in the main tank with rest of fish & babies were happy...

I have black, white, speckled & a blue molly - my 1st lot where fully black & died within 2 wks of us setting the tank up so I know where your coming from. My mollys died because they were bullied & tail nipped by black widows & pengiuns & they looked as though they were gonna die then would...

Hi Guys thanks so much for your advise. The babies are in a birthing tank at the moment & I am supposing I am to keep them in there until they are big enough to look after themselves??? I am going to go the fish shop on my way home from work & will get some of your recommendations. Does...

Hi I have just got a new tank, it has a filter but no heater, i was wondering if Bettas can live in tanks without heaters or if they need 1. I already have a tropical tank which i have my fab seth in & ive got the bug & want another. So advice needed. I will get a heater if need to as i...

Can't send a picture sorry i'm posting this for a very distressed friend, who doesn't have internet access. The fish was Orange before it turned White & it went White very quickly. My friend hasn't changed the food at all they get flakes. Only the 1 goldfish has turned white. All the...
