The fry constantly get sucked into the filter and die.

Hi, I have a 20g long aquarium with a standard filter. I want to swap the standard filter for a sponge filter to help my molly fry to survive. My aquarium is also planted so would I need a power head? Has anyone got any advice or recommend a sponge filter for a 20g aquarium? Thanks

Hi All, Thanks for your help! Just an update. The prolapse looks as if it's gone back in. However the area still looks sore. She's eating still, but has lost a lot of colour due to stress. Hopefully she will recover. Fingers crossed!

Hi,   My Molly is having difficulties whilst giving birth. It seems like see is trying to pass a her guts/ a sack of some sort. See image bellow. Please can someone reassure she will be ok?

Hi,   I want to buy some Gold Barbs this weekend, but I'm unsure whether I should by the small ones or the larger almost fully grown Gold Barbs.   What size would you recommend? - Is it better to buy mature older fish?   Thanks

      Thanks Mike, but to be honest mixing fertilizers wouldn't be a good idea for me as having to much or too little in the miix will then become another problem on its own.   I'll probably try Tropica Plant Growth as that seems the easiest option

  Hopefully it should be as i've just ordered some, if it doesn't work out i'll be trying  amazon frogbit next.

Hi,   I need to get some floating plants for my betta's and gourami's and I was wondering if water lettuce would grow if I kept the lid on the top of my aquarium? o Or will it cause the water lettuce to rot?   Can you share your experiences? Thanks

Hi,   In my local pet shop there are only two choices of liquid plant fertilizers:   1. King British - Aquatic Plant Food 2.

  Thanks for your help and examples. As I've only had them for a couple of days they may still be stressed which is causing them to hide their true colours. I'll take another snap once they've properly settled in.

  Thanks for your help!!   Here is a video of them both is that helps? - http://youtu.be/IwYyBly-LBc
