Do you know anyone who keeps fish near you? You could cut some of their media size to help the cycling process.   Cycling products have varied success because they're generally unreliable products. If you have it, use it. :-)

For the past 48 hours i've been a stand-by midwife to my pregnant guppies.   They're the first batch since i restocked my tank. Last time, the rain brought destruction, loss of power, isolation and a lot of fish deaths; this time, it's giving birth to a new generation.   Just wanted to share.   =]

Here is fuzz pic of them, really active, hard to gert a great pic. Lovely colour!  

Hey!   They're absolutely amazing shoaling fish, anyone who is contemplating getting either really should; they won't be dissapointed!   Even in a non-incredibly planted tank, they don't seem stressed at all, can't wait the rest of the landscape in!   Will put some pictures up tomorrow, just...

MA have one shop in NI, Belfast. OP if you live near, i would recommend. After several changes of management, the MA near me are really pretty excellent.

Definatly breeding and watching how personalities change during different times of year/even day!

Turn out the lights, keep them off. Cover the tank in a large blanket/duvet for a week. Don't feed, don't move it. Nothing.   Worked well for me. :-)

How are they in community tanks? =]

Amazing fish!

Just want to quickly add that some of mine rarely use their top fins at all, however they shoal and never seem stressed. Haven't the time to read rest of the posts, sorry =]

SW UK, never tested the water supply, however i've had no trouble conditioning it straight from the tap and putting it in (making sure to adjust temperature). I think i might see what affect leaving the water out has.

Anybody? =D

hey while your their picking up the stupidly cheap tubing, you just as well treat yourself. :-)

We love Aldi! I have to recommened their coronation chicken, too....

Treat it as a partial water change and just add new water, won't hurt.   If you're using it in the garden those bits will make it even more fertile! :-)
