If there is a way of sexing normal lampeyes? Samx

It's 27 because of my beta. I generally have it around 26. But unfortunately come home today and she's died :( Will have to get some more females, she was my last. The males are moping and not eating. Could that be because of loosing the female?

Yeah we just have plants, a log (which none of the fish can get in because the cory chases them out), a large shell and 1 piece of coral that is fanned wide enough for even the cory to fit in so we left that. The temperature of the tank is 27, is that good enough for her to heal??

We thought that the fry had already been eaten, but if that is a possibly reason for her getting stuck in the coral, maybe not. She's being treated. Just hoping it works and she doesn't try squeezing into anymore small spaces!

There are fry. She gave birth to them at the beginning of the week. We caught a glimps of one on tuesday.

I put some treatment in the water as soon as we managed to get her out. The only problem with using a makeshift tank with no heater is im not home every day to do the water change and my house is rather cold to be honest lol. Will get my mum to keep an eye on her whenever im not about. And put...

Thanks matt. Yeah she is being a bit dopey. She's changed to sitting on the bottom of the tank now which is good. Surprisingly enough my siamese fighter is stopping any of the other fish going near her, but im keeping an eye on him too. Unfortunately i dont have another tank for her. I've...

We woke up this morning at checked the tank as we always do. Our female platy was stuck in a piece of the coral that we had in the tank. We had to break the coral to get her out and her scales are pretty badly damaged. She keeps sitting on the top of the filter at the top of the tank. Whats the...

She's finally 'popped' :D Been gone for 2 days, came home and caught sight of a fry swimming past my log :D Hopefully some will survive and not get eaten by the males, catfish or fighter :P

My orange platie still hasn't managed to give birth to her fry, and she's getting extremely large now. She seems to be having some trouble swimming to the top of the tank to eat, and spends most the time resting on the bottom now. Does this mean that she's extremely close?

Yeah. My other male looks completely different. But that's how he was when we got him, and he hasn't changed at all except his anal fin. Still waiting for my two females to give birth to their fry. Orange one is near enough there i would say :] Cant wait

This is the best that i could get at the moment The little one with the blue eye is my Lampeye :D We call him Norman :D
