Can a goldfish survive in a tropical tank? Before we had any fish in our tank a wee fish appeared as if from nowhere. We reckon it came as an egg in a plant. (I've tried to upload pic but with no luck). Anyway we don't know what type it is but its getting big now (about 2 and half months...

Hi, I'm not sure what kind they are. They're quite small and dark in colour. They came from some plants and for a while there was only about 4 now theres about 23 appeared in space of a few days!!

I'm getting a bit overrun with snails at the moment. Can I take them out the tank (tropical) and put them in hubbys pond or do they need warm water? I don't like killing anything. Thanks Suzee xx

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I haven't maoved any of them yet. The new tanks set up but I'll let it cycle. The water is very cloudy and doesn't seem to want to settle, so not putting anybody in there. Also now theres a tetra who seems to be 'nipped', again he's very small. Is this very...

Hi all, thanks for the advice re seahorses. I didn't realise they were so specialist :blush: and I wouldn't want to keep anything I didn't feel confident about caring for so I won't go for seahorses (though are lovely though!!). Re platys - the one that was hiding away is now out and about...

The tank is 230 ltrs and has been set up for 2 weeks, platys in for 1 week. Didn't know about fishless cycling before coming on here. Followed advice from shop re set up when to put fish in etc. Suzee

Hi, I'm new to tropical fish keeping and so far I have 2 x Sunburst Platys 6 x Zebra Danios 6 x Neon Tetras and I was wondering if I can keep seahorses, are they compatible and if so wher do I get them, are they specialist? Also one of the Platys seems to have defective swimbladder, can I...

Thank you for your reply. From what I have read on here about cycling etc. I think I would have preferred a fish less cycle and am now very worried (and feel quite guilty) about my wee fish. :blush: I will feed them a medium feed once a day, thanks for the advice on temp too, its reassuring...
