i now have 2 fish tanks i now have 3 blue danios, 2 leopard danios, 1 zebra danio, 6 neons, 6 black neons, 1 red tailed black shark, 2 plecos and 6 black widows in one tank. and in the new tank i have 2 guppys 1 male and 1 female. the female is also pregnant! the first fish i will have ever bred im really excited! what are also nice fish which i can keep in the tanks with the fish i have at the moment and also are guppy fry easy to rear? x X x

If you lived in britain i'd probrably give you my 8 inch one! they do grow quite quickly so if you got a small one it would grow quite quickly

what sort of ornaments do you like? do you put in fake ornaments or make a natural climate in there. what sort of fish do you like to keep? and do you currently keep? just thought i'd ask you all as im bored! :lol:

how much will a 5 ft by 2 ft tank hood and light cost? as i am thinking of setting up a third fish tank? all i really need is a rough guide. many thanks x

ok thanks

what would you say is the best temprature and ph and also should the water be hard or soft for them?

lol

also would they be ok with the fish i already have or would it be worth getting another tank? (fish i have are in the list below)

are dwarf chichlids easy to look after? i havnt kept them before i know they like a rocky tank though

yup i know it sounds cruel but he learnt from it and i havnt lost any fish because of him since i just feed him frozen food now. trust me though if your shark gives your other fish agro take him out of the water for 5 seconds and then put him back in he will soon enough learn his lesson.

my current tank is 4 1/2 foot by 1 1/2 foot buy 2 foot. i am getting a smaller 2 1/2 foot by 1 1/2 foot by 2 foot tank. i dont have any idea what to put in it please give me some suggestions below you can see the fish i already have so obviously in this new tank i don't want to have the same fish in it but please suggest to me fish worth keeping!!!

i have a 15 cm red tailed black shark which i keep with neons he used to chase my fish but i used to take him from the water for 5 seconds as a baby and tell him not to do it any more and he got the message and i love him to bits!!! red tailled black sharks can be tamed the way i said and are 100% a must have i adore my one who comes up to my hand aswell when i feed them all. but only keep 1 per tank unless they are extremely young.

wow i wish i had that many tanks!!! i will have two tanks soon but im hoping to get a third one that is 6 foot long to keep only clown loaches in. good luck with it all! 8)

hi if kept in a deep aquarium with lots of plants and fed a balanced diet of both frozen and flake foods they live around 10 - 12 years. keep away from live foods as they can carry deseases which will make your fish sick. Also i found when i kept angels that when i had power cuts it effected them a hell of alot when the temprature dropped. Another thing is do not mix them with neons as the angel fish will eat them. Hope the age thing helped just thought id give a bit more advice from my own experiance x

i am thinking of keeping guppys to breed so if anyone knows or has any other information on the mit would be greatly apreshiated

I HAVE FOUND A BUMP ON ONE OF MY CLOWN LOACHES STOMACHES. WHAT COULD IT BE? SHOULD I BE WORRIED?

ok i have just got a new tank, but i am not sure what to put in it it is 2ft long and 1ft wide. i dont want any fish i already have as i want to experiment with differant fish. if anyone has an idea on what i could put in there please reply!

I used to keep rummy noses they shool down the bottom of the tank but are extremly sensitive to water changes!

a simular thing happened to my goldfish when i was on holiday in florida. all my fish died from it. If i were you i would completely clean the pool out and the filter and try and maintain a feeding of once a day and in the winter feed them nothing as they dont eat in winter. i hope no more die

the cichlid wont eat them would he?

wow! i love getting new fish! I only recently got 3 clown loaches and 5 penguin fish. I highly recommend you get some clown loaches as they add colour to the tank!

i have 5 penguin fish. They are shooling fish, but for some reason they dont shool! Does anyone have any idea on how i could train them to?

aww im really sorry to hear something like that, I hope you can find another fred!

Im not sure however i did read somwhere that when keeping marine fish, due to them being so much more delicate than tropicals, its best to have them in a brand new tank altogether. I know this because i was planning on keeping marines before i got my tropicals. I am stil hopfully getting tropicals in may! anyway good luck what ever you decide. But i would also like to add marine fish cannot be added until the nitrite cycle has finished. a good nitrite tolerant marine fish is the clown fish! There rather pritty too But i definatly recommend you get a brand new tank for your marines because of how much more sensitive they are. When i first concidered marines i asked the man in the shop about tank, and he adviced me to get a new tank, so im forwarding the advice to you good luck whatever you decide.

problem sorted
