Omg, the day after I cured her she died. All others look perfectly fine. Do I have anything to worry about?

Hi guys! Today I just fed my fish and noticed one of my female platys has got many white dottie spots on her. They are everywhere, on her fins, body and head. The dots arent exactly tiny either just small bumps. What is it? Can it be cured? Will it effect my other fish? Thanks guys

Our power was out from 2pm till about 10.30pm. The CPD was pitch black. Kinda freaky to drive around.

The whole of Taupo's power is out so no shopping and my tanks gone down 3 degrees already. Arg!

Hi guys, I'm thinking of going with sand but not sure if it will be easier or just a bad idea overall. I have four platy that produce alot of waste, 5 neons and a brisenose catfish. Would these fish be alright with sand? The filter is a top filter built in. The tanks an AR-126. 22L. I've currently got gravel and it's annoying to plant in. So good idea or bad idea???

Does any body else have a neon with a bent back and swims funny? He gets around fine He just looks funny aha.

I do use lead occasionally. But apparently it's bad. Also sometimes the kill my plants. Any other ideas?

What's the best way to way down my plants? They float every now and then and the gravel won't hold them.

Is it true the thread will deteriorate?

Hi everyone. I've got some java moss and hair grass on the way and was wondering what is the best way to put it in your tank? I'm planning on growing the moss on the drift wood but also contemplating on making a carpet. Or would the hairgrass be good for this. The hairgrass is coming in a pot so it's been grown out of the water by looks of things. Any ideas on carpets or what to do with these plants.

I think guppies are ugly all together and I'm yet to have seen some really pretty ones.

I have my tank with me at boarding school in wanganui so I've brought some java moss off trademe from a guy here and this time I hope I can save a few more aha. It was so cute now it's gone cuz of stupid me. Thanks guys

Some spare java moss or platy? I think I've got enough platy just would've liked to have a few grow up so I could give them to my bio teacher.

It is low key over stocked. 4 platy females, no males and 5 neons + a bristle nose catfish. Do you reckon it was because at night they couldn't find a safe place. I have a log they can go under.

I'm having a problem with my platy. Last night I had fry born and didn't find out till after I ate breakfast when my friend noticed the only fry survivor. So I got him into a guppy breeder floater tank and just 10 mins ago I moved the floating tank to the other side Of my 22L tank so the clean water from the filter could get in better and some how he got out despite me taking care he couldn't. As soon as I noticed he wasnt there he mustve already have gotten eaten so I'm pretty guttared right now. Anyway I've still got a couple of pregnant platy left and this time I am determined to save all of them. One of my platy is looming ready. Should I move her into the separate tank at nights? If they are born during the day will thy be able to hide quick enough? And what are the best plants that they can successfully hde in. My females are pretty nasty and won't hesitate to eat them

Yea I do siphon the gravel. So when I clean my fish tank should I not rinse out the parts to the filter?

Oh thanks for this help. I have a top filter with wool, thick sponge, carbon and ceramic noodles in it (AR-126 22L tank set up) I keep a bristlenose catfish, 4 platy and 5 neons. I have a few real plants and a small log.

So guys I've got this tiny little tank at the moment and one day I wouldn't mind going way bigger. But I was just wondering what you think is the best type of filter to use. Like is a top filter good(like the aqua one tanks e.g AR-650), or a filter under the rocks or an external filter or a sump filter? Also I've heard some people saying they only have to clean out their tanks three times a year! How can they do this I have to clean mine throughly every week. I get algae and stuff on the rocks and glass

Go to the glofish wesite and see what cha think. I didn't realize they were GM or even that that they give off a glowing light about them.

Well I have my tank at boarding school and my dorm mates think they're awesome. I'm addicted to them cuz I stare at them for up to half an hour at a time. I also always perfect the plant layout ect. And I'm always on the Internet researching other species and looking on this site I. The members tank section.

Would four female platy and say 6 Neons be all good in a 22L tank (AR-126)

Yea I googled after posting this and I literally just read the acticle. Dammit they looked really cool. Especially the green ones. What would you suggest with platy that are colorful and not guppy, Mollies, Sword tails or any other livebearers. I'm hard to please aha

Has anyone heard of glofish before? If so where can I find them and that are compatable with platy and bristle nose catfish?

How do I make the photo come up and not the link

Ha soz obviously not.... I can never get to the topic page but I just kinda discovered aha
