I'm with Star4...... it sounds like cory eggs so there is more than likely a few others dotted about the tank The female carries a few eggs in her pelvic fins before depositing them on things  time for a nosey about the tank

For the UK you are looking are Royal Mail Special Delivery as one option. Officially fish are not allowed but fry are on the restricted list so are ok as long as you mark the box "Urgent - Living Creature - Handle With Care" Some people will not send fish via Royal Mail for certain reasons (some...

My last lot of food came from Finest Fish Foods, but via ebay, I never saw their own site. My Guppies love the spirulina granules and I will be buying more when this lot runs out Robbins Enterprises are another good food seller, but again only seen them on ebay and their postage tends to make...

Would love to go too, but it's a 4hr drive each way so doubt I will make it

The best thing imo is to do it at the same time as a water change and keep a bucket aside for the filter. Clean anything you are cleaning using that water. Nothing related to your filter should be cleaned with untreated tap water. Worst case scenario is fill a bucket of tap water and then use...

I just use plastic food grade containers as tanks, in fact some probably aren't even food grade   The big clear stacking/storage boxes work as well

One option is to use a bit of airline. use a straight connector, or superglue/silicone it so it is in a loop of whatever size you want. That can then float in your tank and keeps the plants in one place, or vice versa

Is it not odd that you have 0 Nitrates ? I always thought you should see some nitrates as the cycle produces them as an end product, hence one of the needs for water changes. what test kit are you using ?   With regards to the early deaths, did you acclimatise the fish before adding them ? They...

Just got my Grindals from Fish48, lovely healthy bunch. Just about to go into their new home/container.

Yeah, Red Tuxedo (or Half Black)

I'd say male. But he looks as though he has been fed a lot of fatty food which has given him the pot belly / bloated look

Apologies for jumping into this thread, I am on the lookout for some Grindal worms, I have several microworms cultures running for my guppy fry but am looking for something bigger for the adults. Would someone be able to send me a starter culture ? I'm happy to pay postage & something extra...

It would have been better to have it cycled before adding fish but not much you can do now other than get it cycled as quickly as possible. If you can, get a squeeze of someone's filter, who already has a tank up and running. That'll kick start the cycle in your tank. If your shop is a local...

Brilliant, well done and nice end result

Not Malawi's, but I use half terracotta pots with my Jewel Cichlids, and also two small terracotta saucers siliconed together then a hole drilled through one bit, make a great cave for dwarf cichlids
