I don't think they died then got sucked into the filter. I think they swam into it, through 2 finger holes at the back, and got stuck and couldn't get out. They were still perfectly formed, around the filter media housing, just laying there. I think they are just too inquisitive. I'm not...

Hi, Is it difficult to sex baby guppies? I have about 7 which are a month or so old, and they all have the colouring of the mother. It is a little hard to sex them at the moment as they are still quite small, so can't really tell by the fins. Do I have to wait until they are bigger, or is there...

The tank itself we've only had for about a month, but we upgraded from a 2ft to a 4ft tank. We used the majority of the water from the 2ft so it was more like a 50% water change for the fish. I didn't say I changed the filter media, I said I cleaned it all out and I cleaned it in the old...

Hi all, First of all, I have just purchased 3 new tetras. Well, they guy at the shop said they were tetra's, but I'm not so sure. I can't remember what they were called, and having searched for them, can't find them anywhere, so just wondered if anyone knows what they are? They are red all over...

Hi, I'm new to this forum, but posted on the Welcome pages. I thought my female molly was pregnant as she had a large belly, but had no black spot on her at all. I was watching her for most of the night yesterday thinking that she was about to burst, but got up this morning and she was dead...

Hi Helen, Thanks for your reply. I don't think my molly was pregnant, as when I got up this morning she was dead. :sad: I was going to leave her in the tank, as like you said, there are plenty of places for them to hide. My little boy has counted 10 guppy babies this morning, which have all...
