bodge away... just try to get one with a locking mechanism
-
i've found everyone to be a different fish. btw one of mine has gone a bit paler and has a slightly swollen belly.... but has all the attitude she used to have
-
hard to tell, could be stress, could be a lone female among males (dunno how to tell though), could be internal parasites (although that should give you signs in the form of poor condition etc....) maybe he has lost a scrap and the others are still trying to work out where he stand in the pecking order. lotsa maybes, hard to give definitive answer

saw one bodged up from a oil filter wrench once...

only time water should smel at all should be when the fish have been transported in the bag for a long time. +1 on soap in the water, VERY hard to get rid of. Guppies shouldn't be hard to keep, should be one of the hardiest fish around as long as they don't get stressed (although this reputation has led to a lot of abuse. imported guppies recently have been a waste of time, good bodies, crap tails and a bit of colour, we should be producing a LOT better locally

Is fancy guppies compatible with cochu blue tetras?

yes, slight provocation such as being munched -
its the best, by far and to say otherwise within her hearing would be dangerous

my missus makes the best carrot cake using the pulp from the juicer, adds a lemon just to zing it up, it rocks

check out your pond supplies shops, the pond plant section includes glosso, lillaeopsis, hygro (blue/poly) etc.... plus heaps more all at prices WAY cheaper than aquarium plants

The Doc's super duper first nano betta tank attempt.

you have an outdoor pot pond???, didn't realize it was an aquatic :sml2: -
I have a flying fox (currently about 6-7cm) who was put in with a school of around 8 (Now 12) oto's in a 400L planted tank. the Oto's "adopted"him, letting him swim around in their school, and even now that hes twice their size they still school with him, the other day I saw one of the oto's "T-Barring" him (or maybe her???) making me think they think its just an over sized Oto. I personally think the trick to oto's is to have lots of them unfortunately they are a bit expensive

you'll spend the rest of your life wishing you could go back to those carefree days....

on www.brisbanefishing.com there was a regular game of "ID the freckle" where you had to ID the fish just from a pic of its bum hole.... was an interesting game, some people were disturbingly good at it
-
I think she's let him get another tank, or maybe a bigger tank...

from the pic I think it is another one of those lesser spearworts, (Rannunculus flammeus) tends to prefer good lighting in the tank and also likes to stick up out of the water, never kept one in a tank only in ponds -
you'll change your tune quick enough :sage:

+1, probably with a bit of colour enhancement
-
that would scare me, would keep wonderingif it would break, then would wake up and get disorientated
-
actually due to a mutant gene problem, lotsa hairy calves that tend to be poor milk producers. one of the big cow semen companies is in serious trouble over it atm and they have culled most of the young calves
