I think she had a few more this morning, but no more tonight. We've got around 20 in the breeding trap now, and for the time being I'm just feeding them a tiny bit of flake food, crushed really small. Cross fingers!

Again, thank you :) We were pleased to see that the fry in the tupperware box were fine this morning, and even the fry that we couldn't catch in the tank are OK. We'll have another attempt at trying to get them later. We have 20 overall - 10 in the box and 10 in the tank. DF has now been to...

Hokey dokey, after calming down a bit, I've got a tupperware box and filled it with some water from the aquarium. We've managed to catch 10 of the fry and put them in, which is a bit better than leaving them in the tank itself I guess? DF is going to be at LFS at opening tomorrow to get a...

Thank you for the advice! I've put in a tupperware tub and filled it with some water from the tank - we've managed to catch 10 of them so far, which I feel better about rather than leaving them to an unknown fate with our Betta. We've just turned off our aquarium light - I'm not sure this is...

We've had our aquarium 2 weeks, and had our Platy since Saturday - we weren't planning on breeding! She must have been pregnant when they sold her to us... we had no idea! She's still giving birth as I type - is there anything makeshift I can use until I get a breeding thing tomorrow? How...

I noticed our Platy has been a bit sluggish yesterday and today, but since we have some Ich in the tank at the moment I put it down to that. We've just looked in the tank and there are little fish swimming about!! What do we do? I can go get a breeding thing tomorrow morning, but have no...

Sorry - just another quick update! Just done our 2nd Ammonia test of the day now, and the first since the water change and it's down already to 0.25-0.50, which is a good start! The tetras seem to be doing fine, the spots don't seem to be bothering them all that much. We'll be putting in the...

Thanks for the advice Colin :) I thought I'd better double check before I bought any, now I'm glad I did! We have a whitespot outbreak at the moment, which is why I was going to get some.

I've heard aquarium salt can help with a lot of things in the aquarium, and was thinking of buying some for ours. We have a small pleco/catfish, which is why I held off buying some until I knew more about it - I've heard catfish do not like salt? If it's safe, would I just put a small amount...

Right, Just come back from the Pet Shop with a whole host of things. Amongst them I've bought Interpret Anti White Spot - it tells me to give one treatment, then another after 4 days - and then if it still hasn't cleared, another after 7 days... should I just give the meds every 4 days until...

Thank you for taking the time to reply! We were really relying on the pet shop to give us proper information and obviously they didn't :rolleyes: I know now that we should have looked by cycling on the internet first! I'm a more than a bit annoyed at them - we would obviously have waited...

Hi! I'm posting as I've read some other topics and there seems to be some good advice given here, which I am in dire need of right now! I suspect our tetras may have ich/whitespot - this was only spotted a few hours ago. I'm mostly annoyed at myself as I checked them this morning and they were...
