    Hand Sanitisers & Aquariums?

    Dish soap, the worse you can do... Not so sure if it was the kids or you using dish soap, they do the same. So they ain't cleaning their hands at home, buy a top? and make sure you kids can't open it? Again soap or whatever is not the cause, you are.

    Hand Sanitisers & Aquariums?

    Exactly and if you buy normal soap you wil never have that problem again because they are based on alcohol. So think twice when buying, next time?

    Can you help me sex my livebearers?

    Yes aswel and no I don't accept it when people are not right but pretend they do. I know what you mean but wether the anal fin is pointy edged or rounded edged, it's still V-shape before any anal fin transition takes place. But I'm aware of what you mean by the the tip of the anal fin. Like I'd...

    Hand Sanitisers & Aquariums?

    How bad it may be, I don't believe that is because of alcohol because that would be much less. Some drunk fish is all you would see and only that if you squirted the whole bottle in there. (higher % alcohol would be needed) I have been using hand soap since I entered the hobby and never changed...

    Can you help me sex my livebearers?

    No that is not the tip of the anal fin, the whole anal vin would be slightly round or not, if not it is a male. Not to mentioned as I said before, look the pictures back, THEY DON'T EVEN LOOK THE SAME! But whatever, as-long someone says he sexes guppies for 4 decades everything else goes I...

    Can you help me sex my livebearers?

    the gonopodium of a male would be triangle at the beginning while a female would have a slight rounding in it. That are the signs you will see at day 1, but easier a couple days later... Hence why I know I got virgin females.

    Can you help me sex my livebearers?

    Because I show a picture of how the body and everything looks from a male vs female... The gonopodium is only part of it, however even that is different already from the beginning.

    R.I.P. Tomato

    If you in the hobby for a while something has to happen... I wanted to replace gravel in me 30 gallon because I wasn't sure if it contained anything that would change the water over time. Watched a video about it and the next day made a plan to get it done... I putted them all in a 5 gallon...

    Frozen Food

    Brine shrimp?!? For live foods which are grown in salt water can't bring disease to fresh-water fish. So this should be for frozen foods to? not sure, story that has been told and is believable. On the other side I only feed my guppies live baby brine shrimp every other day and now and then...

    How do you sterilise tanks and equipment?

    Nah, just go to your local store, you got vinegar for food and for cleaning. Vinegar is an alcoholic liquid that has been allowed to ferment and sour. The basic component of vinegar (including apple cider vinegar) is diluted acetic acid, which is a toxic waste product in the human body. So no...

    reverse osmosis water for guppies

    Yeah good idea, no longer need to test every-time that way, just put the pens in before and after. You guys have any idea about what would be best for guppies? KH / GH. While google would tell you this: PH 6.8 - 7.8 KH 6 - 10 GH 8 - 12... While cory from aquarium coop says they like "hard"...
