I have a Juwel Lido 120 (probably around 6 months max old) and I’ve noticed on the left side that the glass doesn’t sit flush, it’s out by 1-2mm. The bottom is as it should be. I’ve been out and about today and although I couldn’t get a good enough look at another Lido, I noticed this seems to...

Thank you. They certainly are beautiful little fish and not one I’ve seen before! Like you say, I guess it depends on the individuals - for example, I’ve had Betta in the past that would happily live with RCS and others that would slaughter the entire lot of them! I’ve read bad things about...

These are the fish in question. Watching everyone further, with the exception of one ‘runt’ Barb and one ‘runt’ Cory (I hate using that word, but they are considerably smaller than the others), everyone in the tank is fairly evenly sized at the moment and everyone grows to a somewhat similar...

Hi all, I’m wondering if anyone has any experience in keeping this species within a community setup? Seen in my LFS today, did some research and they are recommended as a community species, but this evening I’ve read horror stories about them being psychopaths! I understand they can show...

Possibly a clearer photo of the 3 of them!

Thank you so much! So are Honeys different to the larger Gouramis where you look at the dorsal fin to determine male or female? These 3 certainly have the female characteristics, in that they’re a little shy but come out and calmly swim around picking at the decorations in the tank and just...

Hi all 👋🏻 I picked up 3 Honey Gouramis (sold as ‘Gold Honey Gourami’) over the weekend. I was hoping someone could tell me whether I have males or females or a mix, as the guy in the shop was pretty clueless. Thank you 🐠

Thank you 😊 I have Myxazin in the cupboard, would this be appropriate? Or is there something else you’d recommend? I’ve seen posts online about septicaemia in fish, would you say it’s unlikely on this occasion? Given the nipped/damaged fins? Pesky Barbs 🙄

Does anyone know what this red patch on my Tiger Barb’s belly could be? (He/she isn’t usually quite this pale - I couldn’t get a photo last night, so this was taken the moment I turned the light on this morning). I first noticed this last night, after not seeing this Barb for a day or so, but...
