how many guppies have you got and what size tank? Cezarz on the forum has guppies under high densities but his never get diseased - when you introduce new fish do you quarantine them??

the only fish dream I (Amy) have ever had was when I kept expensive imported goldfish...dreamt of my celestials and moors eyes popping because they spilled out of my tank and I dropped the tank on them - bizarre I could actually feel myself panicking in the dream

loaches can be sneaky...one of my glowlights lost an eye overnight but now it's functioning well without it my tank's been delayed - hasn't arrived yet so won't be trying to breed them anytime soon

has anyone actually been there?

what tank is it for? no fish over the edge?

I'm going to have fun shifting the pair into their own tank :roll: probably end up pulling out all the plants

I leave towels on the carpet when I do water changes - but that's not to say accidents won't happen

...could you remove the eggs and hatch them without the female?? what role does the female play in hatching eggs etc?

I think all retail stores need to hire staff who are passionate about the job rather than the money figure - nothing worse about entering a women clothing store to have staff who don't help or just give you the easiest option rather than work to get what the customer wants :roll:

so the wager begins?? too bad ours haven't laid again :-?

thanks to both Ryan and Discusguru

hahaha well done !!!! what went wrong before?

but it's fault...can't handle imperfections a lot of people think I've got OCD everyone's different

that's looks awesome - was going to start a nano tank for my boy but like most decisions I (Amy) make I always get bored and move onto something else lol...now I've got to get rid of a 13L cube I brought for my boy

depends on the staff - some aren't there because they like what they do while other staff are passionate about their job

Discus came right - it was probably the water change temp

peppering = tiny black dots all over its body - like pepper.... pigeon bloods and Elcetric Dreams etc are prone to peppering

ok TracyTrout maybe you should try another internet photo host?....I use Picturetrail I find it easy to use and the photos come up larger than Photobucket

personally - cheaper prices usually indicate younger fish or stunted fish...whenever you buy Discus and buying from breeders that you can't physically go pick from be precise about what you want - small eye to body ratio, full fins (deformed fins are not favourable), red eyes are favourable, no peppering either (if your fish colour is prone to it). I have brought expensive ones and cheap ones but the cheap ones I tend to flick later on because they just don't end up looking as good as the ones brought from breeders/importers The price usually indicates what strain of Discus it is...common strains are cheaper etc

I tried to correct it for you but I have no idea what you did Tracy

Columnaris? (might have spelt it wrong - look up cotton mouth on google)

but Clowns are known to up-root plants - what about smaller loaches? Like a group of Dwarf/Chain loaches?

they are SO adorable! Here's a pic of my pair's corner with the male in the bigger pot - a few terracotta pots stacked together a shot of the male on his own

what about a school of another kind of tetra? Like Cardinals?
