Mamashack I do not have a problem with my tank, it is fully cycled and during the cycle process I did not see ammonia or nitrite levels raised, my fish are fine because I feel I did it very steadily, two fish in 180 ltrs, then little by little.

I started a fish in cycle with a pair of mollies, after 3 weeks I added 6 harlequins, two more weeks then 4 corries, etc, etc, I now have a big problem !!!! The mollies have produced two lots of young and I dont know how I am going to rehouse them. But for the importance of this thread I hade...

Yes guppies would be fun to breed for colour and shape but I would think they would be impossible to sell the young

So im thinking of getting into some type of breeding program in the coming future, fish still to be determined, but the big question for me is what happens to the young, can I sell them ? Do I have to give them away ? How do I organise this side of things as I do not want to be over-run with...

Sorry guys, I am a newbe here, but I dont understand why you can debate this topic here, but no one has mentioned a thing to these people that are making these purchase, as I said I am new to the hobby but when I over heared an assistant telling a customer she will be fine with a pair of mollies...

Well I have witnessed this happening again this morning and this time I could see the eggs just like the vidio, but I assume all the eggs will be eaten by all in the tank.

That vid is wonderful, and yes thats it, so what happens next, am I likely to see eggs or will they be eaten ?

New to the forum and new to fish keeping, so when I bought 8 harlequins and dropped them into my tank I noticed that 2 of them seemed to be staying closer together than the others, this evening they are up to something, lol, they are side by side and finning vigoursly, then coming together...

Well this is all happening a bit fast but thought I would mention one thing and ask a couple of questions. I bought my first pair of mollies on friday to go into my new tank, I spotted a pregnant female so decided to take her, dropped them in the tank friday afternoon and all was well so I did a...

Many thanks to everyone for there help and comments.

I dont know the answer for sure, but i would think the only problem would be the salt content, therefore is it not just a case of rinsing them off in fresh water for a period of time

thanks for this information, how often do you change your filter media then ?, I was thinking of adding some ceramics to aid the bacteria, but do you think this would be of any benifit. at the moment i have one fine blue sponge, one course blue sponge, one nitrate green sponge,and one floss...

Sophie many thanks for this manual its exactly what I need and it tells me that I do ìnfact have the media baçk to front, so I will set that right and leave the tank until the weekend, test water, if all okay then put a pair of fish in there and test the water regularly, if all gos well over the...

Yes I understand the about cycling, I do plan to complete the cycle with a couple of mollies in the tank, and none stop water tests for a week or two, then if all is well introduce a couple more fish, etc. I am thinking live bearers to start, neon tetras, and then advice from this forum from...
