Went to Pets@home but they didn't have a small tank. Waiting for delivery tomorrow. Fry are fantastic! Who needs telly?! I've been watching them non-stop and am still not bored!

Hi, Our very first platy fry were born last night. I managed to scoop up 5 and have put them in a breeding net but I was thinking of getting a 2nd small tank for the fry. Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this? Clearly I do not have a 2nd cycled tank ready so would it be ok if I...

The tank (60 liter) has been up for a few months and is cycled. I do regular water checks and that's all fine. It was pretty peaceful until I added the keyholes. They chase pretty much all the fish who try to go anywhere near the plants. The loach doesn't really interact with any of them, he...

Hi, We added 2 female guppies to our tank last Monday. Yesterday afternoon all fish were fine but last night I noticed one of the guppies hiding by the heater. On inspection I noticed she has about half her tail fin missing. She is staying mainly by the heater at the top but occasionally swims...

Hi, I'm pretty new to having tropical fish but was doing pretty well until I went away of Christmas. I was only away for 5 days and did the usual 15% water change the day before I went. In the tank I had 5 neon tetra, 4 guppies, 3 platy and 1 Pakistani loach. I followed the advice from the shop...

Thank you! I have put her in a net where she seems pretty happy. Kelly

Hi, We got our 1st aquarium last month and never expected to have a pregnant fish so soon but our female platy is definitely pregnant. I had noticed her getting bigger and bigger in the last 2 to 3 weeks. We've just come back from a 4 day trip over Christmas and she seems to have ballooned in...
