My heart not in it like it was once, beginning to get fed up, I will keep the fish till there end of days, but no more fish for me.

my hearts not in it sometimes Wilder, but the head is always in it, the head keeps me going and the heart follows!!you fish will spite you now and live for 15 years, you'll have the oldest guppies known to man kind

He's ok he shoals with the harlequins, always find that black neons and harley get on great.Nearly bought him some mates but decided not to.my hearts not in it sometimes Wilder, but the head is always in it, the head keeps me going and the heart follows!!you fish will spite you now and live for 15 years, you'll have the oldest guppies known to man kind I doubt it lost 2 this week fed up.No symtoms to go on, wormed them the week before, and added a bacterial med with losing two.

Nearly bought him some mates but decided not to.

i was joking about the black neon i am sure he's fine

your x2 panda corys have got it easy havent they! 12 Gallons to themselves! You got them on sand?

 

[WILDER]

Had the panda corys 3 years but lost one a few months back to popeye she was always a big panda cory.
No gravel but no sharp edges, the barbels are fine with the gravel.
Thought about switching to sand though.

i think we both know Wilder, no matter how experienced you are, sometimes those type of fish, especially the livebearers can be perhaps some of the hardest fish to keep and keep well. I think my lowest points in terms of the actual fish, has been with livebearers. How about considering a complete change one day? Or moving the cory in with the rest, keep the 12 Gallon as an emergency tank and treat yourself to a new tank with a specific set up, like shell-dwellers, you sound like a Shell-Dweller person to me!!!

i am not saying sand essential to Cory, just my preference, and wondered what substrate you had

 

[afishdude]

my reaction was to wilder leaving fish keeping.

 

[WILDER]

Love guppys that why I got a wormer they have done well to be honest, just that I've lost one this week with no symtoms just died.
A harley but he was old.
Thought about putting the corys in the 30 gal but they love it on there own in the 12 gallons, scared of them getting ill which they never do in the 12 gallon.

 

[fry_lover]

my reaction was to wilder leaving fish keeping.

i figured that

EDIT to above, 12 gallon would be okay as a set up for Shell Dwellers? a few anyway or is pH in yorkshire a bit low?

 

[WILDER]

I will see in a few months.
Stressed son went to uni and daughter got married this year, so finding it hard just with hubby, so the stress could have something to do with it.

yeh i remember you said about that in a previous post when you weren't on the forum for a while

not related to the above post but a previous post
after i had my big livebearer probs, i wojuld get anxious everytime one looked sick or one died, but as you know, guppies can just die and it might just have been its time

 

[WILDER]

I know bless him.
Hadnt had a death for a while till this week.
Seems to run smoothly for a while, then bang start losing fish, even when you do keep up with maintance.
