Thanks I would love to see some pics if you've time to take some. The sponge at the top ....now that was something others on the sites didn't mention!! That could be quite important!!! Your fish ate the sand? Thats a bit odd isn't it LOL I hope my lot don't do that ... Thanks again, Sharon

Yes the guy at Hollywood fish farm said that too, but in the same breath he said they weren't that good either, I was going to modify one to get it working the way I wanted but they don't stock them now because the couldn't get the silicon sand anymore that they work with.

I think that too....it's just finding one that will suck up the sand ...We've tried all of ours but with no success so far....will find out how though

Thanks for that I found one similar to this one but they obviously only pinched the one pic off this guy. I wonder if they use something else as well as the bubbles as I've attempted to create the pipe etc to see how it goes ...But I get stumped on the release of sand at the top, it's just not enough sand to make a decent flow!! Ok back to tinkering LOL I'm gonna figure it out yet!!

I will do a search...sounds all so interesting and I've a nice wee tank I'm doing up and would look Fabulous with a under water waterfall illusion!! Thanks

Thanks for that!!!

Hi Everyone I have a puzzly question for you all!! I want to make an underwater waterfall using fine sand for the illusion and am wondering if anyone here would know and like to share how they've done it or can point me to a site with some more info? Thanks so much

Well it should be very interesting to see what he produces!! The females are already preggers and am not sure if they will be his or one of the other male I had before he was murdered!! But either way it's always exciting to see what colours you get!! The only thing I really breed to is the size I like the surprise for colouring etc But then I'm only a beginner at this tropical fish thing!! We were lucky enough to get our hands on some of my partners Mum's fish and tanks and well we've not looked back and several tanks later we are still collecting LOL Sharon

He is pretty feisty LOL But then he's young and full of himself at present being the only Male among 7 Females of his very own!! Sharon

Sorry for the spelling thats meant to be "Throw back" LOL

So he's just a through back ... Good to know for sure!! He has some really cool colours and I can't wait to see what colours his babes will be!! Thanks

Thanks guys He just appeared so to speak LOL I have no idea of where his colours came from as both males I had were snakeskins and one of these guys was def the father as I've had the females and them for about 5 months!! Just recently lost both males as my fighter has become extremely aggressive in the last 2 weeks and killed them as well as 4 of my neons. So they have been separated from him now and all is peaceful again LOL Back to the odd boy....The only guppies I could find that he resembled closely were endler ones....If he's not one of those than thats fine he's a pretty fish and I'm looking forward to seeing what colours he produces in his babies!! Oh, is there any type of fish thats ok to put with an aggressive Betta? We've got a 4 foot tank with only him in it and 4 bristle noses 2 peppered cats and 3 red spot Pleco (not too big at present but going to have to get rid of a couple before they outgrow the tank.....so any one thats interested please email me sizes close to 20cm, 15cm and 12cm )

Hi everyone I've been a member for a while but have not posted until now!! I have a male guppy that I think is the endler type but not totally sure so thought I'd post a pic and see what you guys think!! He's a little over a month and a half. I often lost him in the tank when he was younger as his 2 black spots constantly change colour to silver and blue/green I guess due to his mood? Any way he's got lots of colouring but the yellow patches don't seem to show up as well in the pics and he's much duller in his pic than in person!! Here's the pic and I'll look forward to your thoughts Sharon
