Sorry for the miscommunication, I only plan to keep one of those species. Leaning towards the White Clouds atm as Medeka are not too common around here and Gold and Rosy barbs may be too much for a small unfiltered pond. I'm in NSW, we've had weeks or rainfall and flooding that has finally let...

Husky and rough/smooth collie? The shaping and floppy ends of the ears really point me towards collie, and they also come in merle.

Today, I spent the day digging a pond after finding an old pool liner and having the great idea of adding a water feature to my greenhouse...I figured, what's the worst that could happen? At least I'm not wasting my money if things don't go to plan. Anyways, after a long couple hours, I...

Thank you all, I'll start with the net after dark method. I'm really hoping this works. This pond is much smaller, with a capacity of about 4000 litres. It was meant as a temporary home for the koi until they could no longer be eaten by the other full-grown koi in the mud pond. The bottom is...

My koi fry have reached the age and size where they are able to be moved to my mud pond with a capacity of around 50,000 litres (is this able to hold 10-15 full-grown koi? No filtration, but planted with lillies and other plants and frequent rainfall with an average of around 200ml/month)...

I'm curious to see what you all would own if you ever had the chance, disregarding the realistic side of things. Here are my questions: The most unusual fish you'd own? Your favourite fish you'd own? Your favourite MARINE fish you'd own? Your favourite aquatic creature (non-fish) you'd own?

Did you cycle your tank before getting the fish? If not, here is a link to help; https://www.fishforums.net/threads/cycle-your-tank-a-complete-guide-for-beginners.475055/

Hi, what type of filter are you using? Sponge, canister, internal, hang on back? If it's any type of external filter where the water had no way of getting back into the tank, chances are it had just gotten a bit cloudy from the waste in the filter. Often during/after a power loss, it's suggested...

Do you have gravel in your tank? When I had livebearers, I noticed the fry would hide in the small crevices between the gravel and be barely visible. There is also a chance they passed and the body was eaten by the other tankmates, or swallowed up by the filter intake if you're not using a...

Made the decision to switch from cold water to tropical as I really wasn't feeling it and felt very limited, plan to keep Ember Tetras, some type of Corydoras and a pair of Honey Gouramis. Here it is after a rescape: The floating driftwood is temporary until it sinks. Any suggestions for tall...

So, avoid dwarf gourami and betta? And cherry shrimp too? Also, we don't really have Chilli Rasboras in Australia and those we do are around $20 each, so would ember tetras work as an alternative? Would a honey gourami or 2 work in with the mix, or hold off? I do really like the Pygmy Corydoras...
