Bad news I am afraid... On Thu we witnessed daddy eating a few of his offsprings when she realesed them and did not manage to scoop them all up when he came. From Saturday, she has been behaving normally-eating, polishing gravel and not guarding anything, so I guess none of the little ones made...

Will do. Many thanks.

Thanks for your advice. I have ordered the tank divider. Will give it a go. Would be cool if we were able to raise some of the little ones.

Star4-thank you for your reply. I saw the fry yesterday! so the mistery has been solved. The problem is that I have not got a second tank to separate the female and the fry from the rest. She is releasing the fry now and then, but the other fish seem to be very curious what's going on and she...

Hi Guys, I am really puzzled! The geo female is still alive and has turned aggressive towards other fish, including the geo male. I have not seen her eat since my last post. Has the pair spawned? My son said he saw little black dots (fry eyes :/ ). She does not open her mouth properly so I...

Thanks for your advice. I will start with adding more females when they're in stock and will see what happens. If there will be still incompatibility issues, I might try another male.

Yes, they are the same pair. She was very lively after they recovered from ich. Sadly we do not have another tank, but there is a bushy corner where she tends to hide. She does swim out occasionaly. The male has been desplaying the courting behaviour quite a lot recently and when she is out of...

Dear All, my 'Humpy girl' as we call her has been quite withddrawn for over a week now. She hass been hiding mostly, I have not seen her eat. She would swim towards a sinking pellet but then would stop just before reaching it and would not eat it. She seems to have her mouth closed whenever I...

will 2 lots of media fit in one filter? I have not seen the new one yet so I am not sure...

Hi there, I placed an order for Eheim pro 3 350. I wonder how you went about filter replacement. Did you just take the juwel one and set up fluval? I know it's second hand, which may make a difference if the media did not dry up. I would appreciate your advice, please.

Hi everybody. Thanks for all you advice. Just to let you know that I have placed an order for EHEIM professionel 3 - 350! shame I'll have to wait until after Xmas to install it... It's going to be a long wait. I am just thiking what would be the best way of doing it. Should I run the old and new...

Thanks for your reply. I think I've made my mind up. I am going to go for Eheim pro3 250 or 350. I put it on my Xmas list :) Fingers crossed.

Hi guys, still deciding on the external filter for my rio 180. Found this filter: Eheim 2036 Ecco-Pro 300. It seems to very eco 8 watt. Has any of you got this filter? I can't find any reviews anywhere. Fluval 305 seems to be the second choice but the wattage is not mentioned anywhere. Please...

Thanks for your advice guys!
