Hi I'm in need of help. I have a pair of green terrors who are first parents. I have around 100 free swimming fry. All in a small pile in the bottom of a tank with mum and dad. I want to move them into a different tank but don't know how. Do I move the parents or fry first? Shall I net...

Hi Can anyone help me. I have a pair of first time parent green terrors. The fry are just starting to be free swimming. I want to move them to another tank but I'm not sure what is the best thing to do. Move parents first? Or the fry? Is it safe to do? Any tips appreciated as I am a...

Ok. I now have around 100 green terror fry swimming (in a small pile) around the bottom of the tank I'm wanting to move both mum and dad and the fry to a different tank. Any suggestions on what to do for the best... And more importantly what not to do! Any help appreciated. First time parent...

Hi wrightt3   You will hopefully see below i have updated my tank details. The reason these guys are in the spare is because the 200 now has juvenile malawi in.   As of this morning i have fish eggs and a very protective mum, even the dad isnt allowed near now... assuming he fertilised them as i...

Embarassingly small for these guys. Like i say i was going to move them on. Its only 50l. They were in a 200l until a week or so ago, it seems they are happier in the little tank on their own than they were in the big one.

Hi   I have 3 green terrors   1 Male just over 4" 2 Female one 3" one slightly larger   They are in a small (too small) tank on their own and i was planning to move them on this week.   However, i just noticed the larger female is planning to lay eggs. I have no idea what to do from here. Will...

Firstly, i know that the chances are the male is infertile. Also, i've only had the tank a fortnight and the fish came with them so please no slating me for having parrots.   Right..   I have come home from work to a tank full of eggs and the parents bullying my texas every time it comes within...

I only have the two parrots and the smaller Texas. Research helped me realise the catfish and Plec were too big for the tank and the large Texas was making the little ones life miserable. Thinking of adding german rams. Red Tapajos. EB Jack Dempsey. Kribensis. Red cockatoos. Red terror...

Looking at putting together a selection of these. Not sure what yet. Already have 2 parrot fish and a Texas (came with tank) Thinking red Tapajos, Jack demisters, Kribensis, red terrors. Rams. I really want a planted tank. I know the rams will appreciate it but I've no idea which others...

Ok.. so i have cleared the tank down abit so its not over stocked. Im looking to get some smaller SA / CA Cichlids.   I've got gravel rather than Sand will that make any difference?   How do i get the Anubias / java fern to take to the bogwood before the fish destroy it ?   Or am i fighting a...

From UK. New today and on my mobile. I'll set my profile up ASAP. Any differences between the Api / nutrafin etc?

Thanks.

I see what you mean. Think I might have some fish for sale. :-) How on earth does a smiley face end up with a party hat and whistle?

I would be too surprised myself. They have all been living together for a long time though as the tank was purchased as is.

I've just got my first tank, purchased second hand and has come stocked with South American Cichlids.   It seems that the previous owner didnt use tap safe just normal tap water and hasnt done any sort of testing having owned them for years.   I want to get a test kit, but should i get 6-in-1...
