Yeah trial and error is probably what I'm going to go for - I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed! Especially as my L70's are my favourite and I can't find anyone who sells them, just have to hope nothing happens to them!

So I'm thinking about merging tanks. But the main thing I'm worried about is how my L70 Zombie pair and my L128 Blue Phantom males are going to get on together. I also have 2 L260's, although they aren't very big at the moment - the largest is barely 2 inches. At the moment they are all very...

So I'm looking for a new internal filter for my 80L tank, and wanted some advice. I've heard that although fluvals are cheap and cheerful they are crap (not my words!) and to go for a juwel even though they're a bit pricier.   At the moment I have an aqua vital filter, which I haven't had any...

Alright wicked, I'll do that then, now just the task of trying to catch her! In the process of moving around decorations I've already found 2 mystery fry that look several weeks old - nice little surprise!

I do have another smaller tank but it doesn't have a filter, heater, air pump etc. If I put her in there and topped it up every so often with warm water from another tank would that be ok?

So I have a heavily pregnant sailfin, she is completely squared off and looks ready to pop. But the male just won't stop going after her. Ideally I'd like to put her in the nursery I have set up to make sure that both her and the fry are safe - but I don't want to stress her out even more!   I...

Ahhh you were correct! :) I was sat in front of the tank and there it was - I tiny little fry swimming in the plants! I do have a nursery it could go in, but I didn't want to stress it out by chasing after it with a net - although some other fish seem to have clocked on to where he's hiding and...

When I bought my swordtail, the woman in the shop said that she picked out a 'nicely pregnant' one. As the days went past she seemed to be gradually getting bigger and bigger and thought she might pop at any moment, although my friend who has been keeping fish for nearly 10 years assured me that...

Tank is 60l, is cycled and has been set up about 6 months now. Haven't done any water tests (have run out at the moment), and the most recent large water change (about 50-60%) was about a month ago. Original fish has died now :( However I'm keeping an eye on another one, he looks fine...

So I bought 4 new Corys (pretty sure the shop advertised them as Corydoras sp. columbia). And the past few days one in particular has been looking off - paler than normal, and noticeably smaller in size than the others. Yesterday when I looked in the tank it looked dead - was upside down on the...
