I have a ghost shrimp which is carrying green eggs at the moment. I have a spare tank but what will I need ie filter, light, heater etc for this extra tank. Then, do I put the female in until she lays her eggs then put her back in my main tank. My main tank is full of various small fish...

I too have a pregnant amano shrimp and wondered the same. How do you go about trying to get the young to survive. Any help would be appreciated. I would love to give them a chance as I have a spare tank.

I popped into my local aquarium yesterday who checked pH, ammonia, nitrite etc and they said they were fine. They used one of the testing kits you mentioned. However, here are the details:- Tank size: River Reef 94L tank temp: 22degC Water changes: Weekly at...

Hi - thanks for the information. Will ensure put this on. I did take a bottle of my water to my local aquarium shop who are fabulous and they did the tester kit with five, six or seven test tubes. My nitrate was slightly pink but water was due to change. Will get back with all the...

Help! I first noticed my female guppy had some white fluffy stuff on her back, then she died within two hours. Today, I find my balloon molly, although she hasn't got any fluff or white spot, has started to swim upside down etc. A neon tetra has lost its red colour and also swimming the same. I...

I have 6 male guppys and 5 female guppys - is this ratio okay? I do have one guppy fry that is a few weeks old and is starting to get adventurous and join the clan but can't see what sex it is yet. Do I need any more females or just let nature take its course and see what the fry bring?

I live in NE England (near Durham) and would like some Java Moss. Does anyone know a stockist in this area? I know Chilton Aquatics get it in from time to time but also it is hard to come by.

I have one quite large fry which is showing colour now. Don't know how old it is but he is getting braver and coming more out into the open. My neon, shrimps and endlers all ignore him but I have two mollies and platys which are quite big and he hides from them. When you do think it'll be...

Hi - have done as you mentioned and I have one fry left who is swimming around merrily but lots of places to hide. I put in some marbles too which seems to have helped. I have a River Reef 50 - when I lost a shrimp yesterday, I found him in the heater separator but then...when I looked in the...

Hi - can anyone help? I purchased five blue shrimp four days ago. I also have two japonica which I've had six weeks. All was well until I looked in the tank this morning; one blue shrimp had died then just a few hours later, another had died. Could it be something they had before they came to...

has not set their status

Although I had fish several years ago, we've just started again as a family in November 2010. We're all fascinated and dedicated and love each one (all named) individually.

Hi - I have a 95L tank which has a combination of neon tetra, x ray tetra, guppies, platys, shrimp and frog. Over the last eight weeks, we've found at least three times a couple of fry hidding but that's it. We have some plastic plants, gravel and a couple of small but open ended ornaments in...
