Hi Larissa, yep, they're the fellas..please don't tell me they will turn into fish eating monsters, they are such good fun!

Hi again Larissa, well the good news is that B&B are safe, they are definitely not chinese algae eaters. I can post pics soon, waiting to get my camera back! B&B basically spend most of their time with the mouths stuck to the glass! They are fast and fun to watch. They are a solid yellow colour...

Hi Larissa, thanks for the info, its helpful but I'm gutted Inhave to get rid of some of the fish! I love the clown loaches and dalmation molly's. And beavis and butthead (the sucker fish) look so harmless..i mean they're fast and like to chase each other, but I've never been seen them try and...

Hi, and thanks for your help..I've got a gravel hoover, so i'll give that a go. How long should the lights be on for? Is there any way of getting rid of the algae that on the plants?

Unfortunately my beautiful gourami died this morning. I was'nt too hopeful, but still upset..other fish look peachy..no sign of illness. I have a very beautiful guppy who is being followed by 2 male guppys intently..is this some sort of courtship or a sign she may be ill/pregnant..i'll...

Hi, I can't help as I've had no response yet. I've a 120 litre tank, how much salt do I put in please? Bought it today from lfs, but not sure of calculations.. Please, please someone offer some help, really would like my gourami to live! Thanks, Andrea

Hi, I got lotsof help from you a short while ago when a couple of my fish had white spot. Now unfortunately, the same beautiful gourami has developed fin rot, ulcers round his mouth and looks basically about to drop dead. I'd been away for five days (22nd-27th Dec) and had a friend who was...
