No bother! I've four German blue rams at present trying to get a pair forming and three blue Acaras also trying for a pair. The Acaras have taken out my small fish already which was planned, dare I say! They are nice looking fish those Panchax!

thanks for the replies Guys sorry for not getting back sooner! I did only half dose the tank but hey???

Would you trade it for a couple of GBR's?

Yes they are active fish and I have chosen to also have some in my 125l at home too! Very active is bit of an exaggeration the 4 I have in the biorb have been in ther 2 years now happily with no illness or losses. The ones in my 125l occupy the surface and being as small as they are are barely...

White cloud mountain minnows (poor man's neon tetra) I have some in a 15l Baby biorb although they prefer coldwater they will tolerate 22-25 degrees

My male has died today! 2 days after treating with Melafix?

Bad news the fish didn't see out the weekend but I have acquired a new pair so although a loss, I have gained and with a better balance of one male to two females! Thanks for your help wilder

My Guppies and Wcmm's are a bit boring but just add a bit of surface...

thanks for getting back to me Wilder. the fish is very lathargic of late and has found a spot under my internal filter and just sits there for prolonged periods and comes out now and again. I wouldn't say he has any of the symptoms you described other than the long stringy white poo and that...

Hi Guys/ Girls I have just read on another thread that white poo is caused or is a sign of an internal parasite? Now I have a dwarf blue gourami who has been hiding alot lately and resting at the bottom corner of the tank behind some bogwood and each time he poos it is white. He no longer...

Hey there I have never had to leave my water days before adding it to a tank??? Just get some de-chlorinater I have used king british in the past and i'm currently using one from Wilkinsons just add the correct dosage and swirl it roung leave it 5 mins and chuck it in. Never had a problem. I...

Hi Guys, Over the last week or so my Male Gourami has decided to occupy one side of the tank and is found either at the top or the bottom corner??? I have a Fluval 3 internal filter in there which is also on that side of the tank (so the corner he is in has very little flow). I know it doesn't...
