Merry Christmas danilada. Sorry to hear about the sick fish. Sorry, I have no idea whats wrong. The only thing I can suggest , and I'm sure you've already done it, is a water change.

Hi SparkyNat. Welcome to the forum.

I have a Cobalt in a nursery tank at the moment. This is her second spawn.She releases her fry in the morning and she will suck them back into her mouth at night or if she gets spooked by anything i.e. a water change. As the fry get older she can fit less in her mouth. This will go on for a week or so. After that she will ignore them and I give her a couple of more days before putting her back in the main tank. I take out the rocks , introduce the fish and rearrange the furniture.

I let nature take its course and leave Mum with her fry until she has put on some condition. None of my females have regarded their fry as food....but maybe I'm lucky.

Merry Christmas to all. I'm on annual leave for the first time in years also....I have a whole 10 days off work :bounce: 2 down and 8 to go

:lol: :lol: It sounds like a definate against to me. And well put too.

Against.. because the 'high' is a side effect of the chemicals intended purpose.

Hi spangela. I have a Fujifilm FinePix S5700. Ianab is correct....it can take two types of memory card but only one at a time. When I bought mine it didn't come with a card so I had to fork out for a 1gb card.

I would say thats plenty. I take rocks straight from the garden and just rinse them.

Yes...thaw them first though :lol:

Keep smiling newfish. Things sound like they're coming right. Merry Christmas.

Am I reading this right? Have your mates actually applied salt directly onto the fish?

Hi JK. I can't help with the substrate questions but I think the tanks with inbuilt filters are quite sufficient. A couple of people I know run them without under gravel filters. Merry Christmas.

I have no experience of them myself. http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/c ... ichlid.php Sounds like it may be difficult to sex them.

Maybe a bacterial bloom? If it is I think it should clear itself up in time. I'd do small water changes daily. 10 - 15 %.

Welcome to the forum Edczuch.

This is the first time I've heard of the 'Red Light' method......excellent idea. :bounce:

Welcome to the forum George.

Hi boffy. The first questions are always the same....what is the water chemistry? pH? Ammonia? Nitrite? Nitrate? tank size? Population? Temp?Last water change? What to do? First answer...a 30% water change It can't hurt.

Welcome to the forum

They need wood in the diet and I think the pleco tabs have wood in them. They'll eat flake now. I wouldn't bother with the liquid food. Well done :bounce:

Nice fish I love those Triple Reds. And the BNs cute too

Welcome to the forum bedazzled.

By the sounds of it they hatched 2 or 3 days ago.
