why thaw it before you feed it to them, they are going in to warm water are they not, plus it gives the fish a bit of fight for their food. You may have a bit of trouble getting the bloodworms at the mo, I know I am, but there is tropical tucker which has bloodworms in it or frozen blood worms. The other alternitive is to start a live food culture e.g white worms, daphnia B

nice tank shae. should be a good grow out tank 8) check out this link for some nice looking gippies, it is an american guppy club :L http://guppysa2z.com/clubs/sjgg/show/show.htm B

Hey killifan, I have a male and 4 females in a tank 600mmx 300mmx 250mm, and whent the females start to get quite fat I remove the male and usually get 30+ fry from it. The tank is not heavily planted but I have Java moss and Crypt Becketii in there, so as to provide some cover. Personally found tho that the fry generally only hide if there is a male in th tank, as when I removed the male the fry all hovered just below the surface. Shae will have some techniques that he uses also so hopefully between the two of us you will find a way that suits you. B

thats great news chris, specially that they have all survived.

It's been discussed in the chat room shae, they are not cold water as the are kept in a divided tank where only one side has a heater, and the heat transfers throught the glass. I know this as I sold her the platties and the guppies are in the same tank. B

More importantly, how many have survived and do you have any update pics?

Hi and welcome gizzygirl, as the others have said plenty of info here, especially if you go digging for it. if your up to it a group of us gather in the chat room most nights round 8.30-9.00pm. B

don't know if it's any help or even the right size, but what about the bottom portion of the two peice plastic dog kennels. might be able to adapt it somehow just a thought B

Welcome morknmindy, I wouldn't put fish in a brand new tank, it needs to cycle firast and let the conditions settle, there is a sectuion here that tells you all about cycling, I can't find the link but one of the others will. you can also find some of us in the chatroom most nights from bout 8.30-9.00pm Ballistic.

I currently have a culture starting on compost, from living earth, no additives to speak of like ferts, and 100% organic. seems to be fine so far. B

Shuih, You want to add meth blue to your tank and try to knock off the white spot, also I don't know if turning the temp up to 32 will acheive anything, but I may be proved wrong. B

Juse, I have two albino cories and A peppered cory [and they hang together on a regular basis, so you should have no problems at all. you never know you might get an albino with spots B

yes sorry all, I did mean the 2nd pic, the golden one in the third pic shae is a golden female that came from your batch as well :lol: B

there are two males, one is in the second photo with all the guppies and sword tails as I said in the las tmessage he is towards the top in the right hand corner, he is blue and yellow, the other is gold in colour and is starting to develop red/yellow colouring

Shae, The guppies you gave me I have seperated the better lookin females which are the ones in the last two pics and the orange fish in with the guppies are swordtails male and female, they are in a temporary home at the mo. Peter, majority of the males and females are from the same line so would say that there are some from the same batch of fry, but I inherited these off another guy and they were all together when I got them, from now on tho the fry will be seperated out to see what I get. B

I'm reasonably new to angels but have been told that the males like most cichlids have a bump on the head. B

he's in the third pic,on the right hand side with the circle on the base of his tail, he is more blue than the others. The othe strain is predominantly salmon based in colour. B

just thought i would add a pic of my favourite cory. my Albino I have a pair, but not sure if male and female or not. B

Welcome bamweevil, as you will see mts(multiple tank syndrome) usually sets in within the first 2 weeks, so comp might end up in another roomm lol. Good to have you here, hope you find lots of useful info here and you can find some of us in the chat room most nights from 8.30ish onwards B
