Hi I was under the immpression that they didnt, but my platies do nip at the plants, and some plants seem to take a worse hit than others. I have some lovely unidentified two-tone leaf plants and they shred them totally, but the cabomba that Im not too keen on they seem to leave alone! I only...

No, I dont think he would fit in her mouth, and there are plenty of hiding places. Thanks for replying, I always prefer to trust someone elses opinion more than my own!

Just thought I would update you - After the failure as above, the tank was emptied, thoroughly cleaned, used as a holding tank while my community was undergoing a change from gravel to sand, and used for various water ageing proccesses, amongst other things. Yesterday I happened to glance...

Hi I have one miracle cory fry (an entirely different story!) on his own in an 80 litre tank, and would like to add my pregnant guppy to give birth in this tank. Would she bother the cory fry? He is about 3 weeks old and 15mm long approx. He is tiny and I wouldnt want him to become food to the...

Hi That seems expensive for such a small tank, and doesnt come with a heater, which would add another £10 at least. He also doesnt mention postage costs, which always makes me wary on ebay, as once you have bid you are commited. I believe someone is selling a 3' tank in the Buy Sell Swap...

Hi Since I've been a lurker around these boards for a few months now I thought it was about time I signed up and said hello! Im located in Preston, UK (Although Im told that nobody knows where that is and should be described as 'Near Blackpool'). Although we have kept tropical fish for a while...
