What size tanks do you have? Plecs (assuming that is what you meant) need tanks over 4ft long. Of course it might be a bristlenose (commonly called a plec when it isn't) which only grows to 15cm What sex are the guppies? They should be in a ratio of 1 male - 3 or 4 females (unless you have all of one sex)

Thanks for the vote of confidence JIm but I have never kept severums. She has visited me too

I have used Eheim wet/dry, Fluval and Jebo and love the Jebo. Wouldn't touch the Eheim wet/dry with a 10ft barge pole. Fluvals ran OK but clogged quickly and it took 2 of us to pull them apart for cleaning. Jebos are quick and easy 1 person jobs and only need cleaning once every 6 months or so. When I first set it up it ran for over 12 months before we decided to have a look inside it.

Several years but you have no idea what age a fish is when you buy it, unless it is obviously a very young one.

No, they don't like brown algae. Some snails might but then we will be getting posts asking how to get rid of snails :lol: Leave it alone (wipe it off when you do water changes) and it will lessen on its own.

I'm not breeding anything but have recently found bristlnose fry and a very small odessa barb
-
That explains it. It should settle down over time then
-
His house is large (but not too large, and only has 2 tanks in it) but his garage has no room for vehicles
-
How long has the tank been set up? Sometimes brown algae is part of the maturing process and will go away over time.

I am finding the misuse of the word "albino" to be annoying. For something to be albino it must be white with red eyes.

Just repeat to him every day... Fish are friends, not food :lol:
-
It isn't just the eggs, it is the bugs and disease in the peat the eggs are with.
-
My leopards rarely ate the fry that I noticed. Leaving all in the tank with lots of fine leaved plants is actually best.
-
Many fish will breed in a community tank. It is stopping the fry being eaten that is the problem.

It is possible she was ready to give bith but the fry got stuck The fry can look like eggs if they were not fully developed at the time she aborted or started giving birth.

Hi Andy (I recognise you!! :lol: ) Click on the FNZAS icon top left to go to our home page. There you will see Clubs and it lists all the details for you. Or wait for one of the Hamilton members here to tell you

To move a gravid female it is best not to lift her out of the water s this causes even more stress. Catch her in a container and move her that way rather than lift her out using a net. She could still be dropping fry. If she does not apprea to be stressed in the breeding net then I would leave her there a few days.

Wireless router connecting help needed
Caryl replied to penguinleo's topic in The Off Topic Fishroom
You've got too many variables there for us to help much :-? You will have to log into your wireless unit. What model do you have? Although nothing should have changed if you'd just moved stuff then plugged it back in so what else did you do? -
They are going to put it on that well known auction site as is where is. Someone might want the glass from the other sides. Tim will build them another tank. He thinks the tank should have had more bracing to start with. They will also take the opportunity to get an electrician in to add more powerpoints as they have cords running all over the place to reach the tank.
-
It isn't dropsy or dorspy :lol: but still doesn't sound good. Could be some internal parasite making its way out of the body or an ulcer about to burst.
-
There isn't much difference between repair and replace. He is taking the tank over today so will decide after discussion with Tim.
-
Thanks for that. My son has emailed him.

Look after them until conference

Sprinkle yourself with salt first
