A picture would be helpful. Failing that it could be a female ready to lay eggs.

Your swords, Javas and Nubia's don't need much attention. These are known as beginner plants. I have them also. I dose ei ferts and carbo, which is like flourish. My plants are green and healthy. I can't comment on the other plants. Also I have basic lighting that came with the tank.

I had no experience what so ever about 2 years ago. We bought a tank filled with water and waited a week (info from our LFS) we bought 3 platies. Within that week I stumbled across this forum. So we started a fish in cycle and had no idea what that meant till this forum. I followed advice on...

I'm glad to say, after I've tied my moss to my wood it has taken. It has started moving down on to the rocks. I'm excited.

Thanks for the advice. I will not get shrimp for now.

Hi everyone. I was wondering if I could get shrimp? If I could what kind? 95l tank 1 opaline gourami 13 neons 12 glowlights 4 loaches. My tank has been cycled for 1.5 years.

Finally got round to tying my moss to my bitbof wood. I really hope it takes and covers the wood. It will look great as as it will form a moss archway.

I bought a krib a few weeks back. 3 days in the tank and he started flashing. He then ended up with Popeye and eventually died. I bought meds to treat the Popeye but maybe I was too late.

I was told that bloodworms can make fish constipated if they are fed bloodworms a lot. My lot get a treat every Friday with frozen bloodworms.

When I first started fish keeping I was advised to take all carbon out and replace it with sponge media. I only use carbon ifnive dosed medication.

I have meds for internal infections. I will treat the tank for 7 days like it says. Just to be on the safe side.

I have assassin snails in my tank. There are no other snails for them. They move around quite happily. I've probably had them for 6-10 months now.

My krib has passed away. It was a matter of time really.

Like mentioned above males have a pointy looking fin underneath. Females have a fan shape fin underneath. I started with 3 platies at one point, ended up with 32. They breed like rabbits.
