hi all, we have a zebra danio that is really harrassing all of our mollies - 2 black and 4 silver. It is the last remaining danio as the others died after 2 years, its quite upsetting to watch and im not sure what to do? any ideas :(

thanks for the replies both of you, I was really worried - She(?) seems to be swimming around, but her behaviour is noticably different. I will keep an eye open and make sure all is well! thanks again

HEllo all, I have just come in to my 13 month old plec and found him/her lieing very very still. I watched it for a while and it still never moved, so "nudged" it with a soft plat stem, just to make sure. It never moved at first and i really feared the worst, but, suddenly it jumped to life...

phew.... 35 minutes of man handling later and its pumping away merily!! thanks all

one thing i have noticed is that the impeller just seems to be held in place by a magnet - is this right?

thats the thing though i hav tried running the impeller and its fine and i have blown through the blue tube and it doesn seem blocked, i have just tried tapping it etc and nothing - will the fish be ok for the minute?? any other suggestions? thanks Wilder!

ah sh**, ive had enough death already! :(

i currently have 3 danios and 2 mollies. the sadest thing is that im pretty sure that the one that dies is the one who had muchos Fry. is there anything i can do then?

i hvae had the mollies for 3 weeks now, i can give water results about 6 uk time. i mean could the mollies be old? could it be the "bully" male who seems to never leave the women alone? its quite distressing to feel this helpless

here is mine and another image

A few days ago I posted about one of our mollies who died with no apparent cause, other than the other male, well this morning we woke up to find a female dead. Again there was no warning and she appeared fine. I have taken a pic of her to show you some slight discolouration that defiantly...

thanks for all of the replies im a bit annoyed with me LFS as surely they should have known this! :)

I was wondering, are mollies aggresive as we have had 4 silver mollies for about 2-3 weeks and they have been doing really well 2 males and 2 females. One of the males had a gold trim to his dorsal fin and was obviously the dominant one, then over the last week or so the second male started to...
