hello people just successfully bread my sunset platty. got about 25 from 4 females, is this a low figure? thanks for any help

Hi, just wondering if anyone could answer me this. Could a pregnant platty give birth over the course of a few days? I ask this as on sunday i was watching my 4 pregnant sunset plattys and noticed a baby near my filter so i netted it out into my little nursery thing i have set up but i have no...

still no fry, gutted, now they all seem to have a dark shadow across their backs, anyone know what this is?????

In my tank i have 1 BGK, 2 gouramis 1 plec, 4 silver dollar, 3 golden danios, 2 zebra danios, 2 corys.

thanks, cant wait, just looking for a bigger tank now.

Its not so much my stock its when i add them to the tank if i buy 4 i normally end up with one maybe 2 left.

Thanks mate, Great help. Going to get one of them breeding traps, but think these are about to drop so just going to net them out this time and prepare myself properly for the next time. Again thanks alot.

My tank is a fluval osaka 155, not sure of the level, doing a water change on sunday will post then to let you know what it's at. And my BGK is around 7" and about 2 years old.

Thanks for the info. Love this site. yes add water tested 3 times in last 6 months spot on everytime, lost quite a few fish but now i'm thinking its my black ghost knife.

could anyone tell me how long it takes for them to have the fry they are about 3 weeks now i think and all the little black dots in there bellys have disappeared but can still see something inside. got a little breeding net basket and was going to let them have there young in the big tank then...

hi again, in my filter i have 2 bags of the black stuff carbon i think then 2 bags of white stuff which i cant remember the name of some little ring things and 4 white filter pads. Is this all ok if i take the carbon out? and i clean the filter every 4 month is that about right with a 20% water...

You say not to used carbon on a daily basis, do you mean the carbon bags that go in the filter? i have 2 bags in mine and they have been in since i bought the tank at christmas. Should i take them out?

what sort of grease do i buy? I'll try a new seal then. Cheers

Hi, i have a problem with my fluval 205 external filter, the other day my electric trip out while i was at work and the filter leaked about 20 litres of water into my living room. I'm just wondering if this is a common issue with these filters or do i need a new gasket (seal)? Help...
