Meh, dont apologise! Ive got a tank of about 12 6 month old Albino bristlenoses, and I love them - I keep wondering about rehoming them, I already have their beautiful parents in my community, but I always feel a twinge when I think about getting rid! Even though theyre so small, theyre big...

That is not our choice to make, if it makes the op happy then so be it - we all do things that interfere with our health :) The best thing you did was join the forum, most (:P) are cool, and the best advice can be got here, I know ive had lots of help and advice over the years. Ive had a few...

Thank you! S/hes a Hypostomus Pecostomus (Common Plec) :D I have a "thing" for bottom feeders! I will have a look through my photos, im not sure if anything else is good enough quality of past or current fish as those photos are all taken with a phone lol, I will see If I can get my Khuli...

Ive got quite a few here that you are welcome to use - some of them are not full body shots so I dont know how much use you will get out of them (Although those are some of my favourites!!) :good: Male Albino BN Female Albino BN Home brewed Albino BN Fry My beloved 14" Plec "Superdude"...

Hahaha lol! I think I needed something stronger!! I will do - it certainly is a mystery - and getting to be very expensive too!! Id just like to get to the bottom of it!

Garra Rufa - its the fish the (IMO) idiot salons use to give people pedicures. Re the Bumblebee, in all honesty I dont know (Im feeling like a terrible fish keeper now lol) - I bought it on a trip to an out of town fs about a year and a half ago and it was just marked as a "Bumblebee Catfish"...

To be honest - and I know this is naughty, but I dont bother asking anymore, because ive been going there for everything for about 6yrs now, and they are awesome. Think I will go in tomorrow - Nelly mentionned Ph levels so will get everything done tomorrow when theyre open, Re the rainbow and...

Hmm he is about 3.5 - 4 inches , I could be wrong, he could be a little bigger - I did think of him but his mouth doesnt look big enough to have swallowed the rummy noses!!! I even considered the rainbows after what I just saw - I also thought their mushes werent big enough, but just before I...

I have been having issues with my tank for a while now - I regularly take samples to my very trusted LFS who have said my water is within the right parameters. Since I moved Nearly 2 years ago, my tank was never the same. I lost A LOT of fish which I was obviously very sad about, as it was...

I have, I did it last night - everything was within normal parameters. Im just so confused because when I have had a death, ive always found the left overs :/

Last week, I bought some new additions for my tank - one of which was five rummy nose tetras. Last night, it occured to me that I only had 2 swimming about - Ive had no floaters, and ive checked the gravel and filter. Tonight, ive come home from a full day out, and now ive only got 1 left :/...

Thanks Baccus, I weill bear that in mind! I cant wait to take some decent pics - they are so small, I cant ge tthem in focus!

Yesterday was interesting, it started with my weekly water change. My brother was also disbanding his tank due to a house move, and I was expecting 3 fish from him later on in the day. At 8pm, I floated the fish and went to the shops. On my return, I cut the fish loose and watched them swimming...
