Hi, ive got 6 guppy tanks and 5 of them are fine but one (red albinos) are not well.

Now normally id keep them in a ratio of 1:3/4 but the males now of a...

Cheers guys. and when u say big water changes for the fry what do u mean? i do a 50-60%wc slowly, twice a week and suck up any waste. a few mayb 15% have some color but still convinced theyre all girls :D ty

Hi, just a query.   Ive rebuilt an 80l freshwater tank, new substrate but lots of the orignal plants and an oversized hob filter with lots of mature filter media. Been cycling with a 50/50 mix of old tank water (from my 150l tank's water change) and new de-chlor tap water.   I used a load of...

Hi ill keep it brief for u.   3 Male Full Red Delta Guppys bought 1 week ago. Into a 100l male guppy grow out tank (I Breed) Noticed 1 of these new males starting swimming funny (shimmying) and was slightly clamped up. That was yesterday and today he has 2 red blotches on either side of him...

hello! hope the move has gone alright. :D   the fry, will be hardy as hell. i breed some (if i dont say so) some very pretty full red delta guppys and few types of swordtail guppys too, which are much more tempermental of water conditions than average lfs guppys ( require 7.6+ 0ppm across the...

if the female has had fry before, this will likely be a premature birth. Dont always rely on the females always being on time.

Why use marine led for tropical? > Because it was £10 which is waaay cheaper than buying a branded LED tropical grow light. (bit of digging and the bargains are out there   ) - LED for marine chaeto algae (not corals by the way)   The DIY co2 is tried and tested, lasts about 4-6weeks. cant be...

She died. Nvm. Never found the cause tho, maybe she was deformed in some way, considering ive not lost any of the 200 odd others Query, u say do water changes until no ammonia or nitrites. My nitrites are always 0ppm (i do 30% 2X a week) but ammonia is naturally present in tap water. I always...

scratch that last post. the clearish stringy poo eventually became red/brown normal poop. shes still sat there tho. time... and hopefully she'll b ok

Ive just had a look at her now... just noticed a really thin almost clear stringy looking poop coming out of her, about 2 cm long. Is this just waste as shes not really being eating or does this sound like a worm or something? :(
