Hi Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but why is it that my guppies keep dying? I have a 30litre biorb with 2 Algee shrimp, 3 red cherries, 1 danio, and 3 tetras, I did also have 3 guppies about 6 months ago but they didnt last I gave it 6 months and recently added another 2...

Brilliant thanks for all your help.

Hi I am going away on Saturday morning and will not be back until Monday afternoon, will my fish and shrimp be ok without being feed for that long? I have the following: 3 neon tetra 1 Mickey mouse platy 1 danio 2 Guppy 3 Algee shrimp 4 cherry shrimp I have 2 live plants and lots of moss. Thanks

So nothing to worry about them, you think they will stop? Does it hurt the guppies?

Hi I have a 30litre biorb, with 4 guppies, 3 tetra Neons and 1 mickey mouse platy, I also have 3 Algee shrimp and 3 baby red shrimp. I do a 30% water change about once a week as i give my fish red worm as a treat once a week and left overs always seem to get stuck in the filter sponge, I test...

Hi Recently I have bought a mickey mouse platy, since having him i have notice my guppies tails have split and also been almost half eaten, is it common for mickey mouse fish to do this? I told the fish shop that i had guppies and he didnt say not to get the mm fish. Thanks

They feed off the fish food i give to the fish and i also give them redworm once a week and also i sometimes put a slice of cucumber for them to munch off. I do have some red cherries and they have had babies, I can see 2 babies but the 2 adults have dissapeard not seen them for a couple of...

Really how old is old age to a shirmp? I have only had him 3 months not sure how long the shop had them for tho. Yes they have freshly molted.

Hi Any reason why 1 of my shirmp may have died last night? I only noticed because one of my other shrimp was pulling at him or trying to eat him. I have/had 4 Amnio shrimp who have lived very happily in my tank for about 3 months, last night one died it was strange as the others were almost...

Hi As my shrimp loved the slice of cucumber i put in the tank last week, I want to give them some more, but im not sure how oftern i should put this in my tank, the last one i put in I took out last night and was int here for 2 days, they basically ate most of it. how long should i leave it...

Apple skins really? Can you recommend any other food they like. Its great to see how they eat the cucumber and leave a great big whole. Another question about my red cherry shrimp, once they have laid thier eggs is thier a change they can lay more quite soon after or not all at once? Thanks

I put in some cucumber last night and they loved it.

They have a black stipe all the way down the middle.

Amanos are algee eating shirmp right? I have algee eating shirmp have i got Ammonos? Maybe i made a mistake wasnt sure if the baby got away quick as they are fast but it just look like the Amanos shirmp was munching on something at the same time. I have been feeding twice a day with Flake food...
