  1. :digH: Just wondering if someone can go through this list and see how up to date it is? Thanks Edit: http://www.guppies.co.nz/?Guppy_Strains add these?
  2. I've had goldfish from the ages of around 4 to about 10, we moved overseas and I decided I wanted more goldfish bought a 20L (which i still have) and bought 3 goldfish for it. Then realised I needed to upgrade, bought a 100L tank of TM it came with 2 apple snails and 3 goldfish. I then decided it wasn't enough and wanted tropicals and my parents bought me a 500L tank. Right now I'm 13 I have a 500L community tank, 150L Planted Livebearer tank, Planted 6L jar and a 70L tank with 2 small axolotls. Thank-god my parents love me....
  3. Not sure why but I imagined kuhlis to be pretty innocent, good thing I didnt but any I nearly did. Searched the web some and getting mixed results about cories, going to jump in the deep end and buy 3 peppered cories and 3 julli cories. I also added 2 pairs of australe golds to the tank and they haven't eaten anything to my suprise.
  4. Not really keen on the bristlenoses or plecos. Already have some in my main 500l that I could move and trial.
  5. This is a long-shot but is there any guppy, fry and plant safe fish that would be okay with sand. Was thinking peppered or julli cories or possibly kuhli loach. The tank is 150 litres with some plants and stones. The filter is 1200L an hour so no problem there. I keep the tank at a steady 25 for the temp.
  6. Will try the clean, square tank idea. Think I've got a tiny glass one lying about, my have a crack though :cry1: Thanks for your help
  7. Hope this is the right place to post. I'm looking to photograph some of my guppies, endlers and molly fry but my camera (Nikon D-70) won't easily focus on them. I was wondering if there is a technique to go about taking pictures without investing in a better lens. Could I take them out and put them in jars with a white background behind to help focus? Thanks
  8. Some of the bigger fish in my community tank include a trio of buenos aires tetra, they nibble plant and chase my black widdows though. Golden barbs add a good splash of colour though. My other beasts would be my 2 female platys about 8-9cm they are what I describe as a dragon mine look like this but less orange http://imgur.com/CLV6RQR :bggrn:
  9. I have 2 female pearl gourami in my 500l community tank and they are one of the most peaceful fish in there, happily glide through the tank all day.

    Guppy fry

    Wow didn't realise that some ignored their fry and some loved to eat them :slfg: There's quite a few plants in there as of now, and last night I scored alot of a unknown plant which took over the tank I got them from, they didnt have any ferts, liquid co2 etc. The plants really tall and will bend over at the surface hopefully give enough cover for my next batch of fry due next week. Thanks :thup:

    Guppy fry

    Just wondering if my guppies will realise that their fry are not a food source, or should I look at getting a fry tank? Thanks
  12. Alright thanks I think I will stick with guppies.
  13. Hi, I will be moving my goldfish on from my 100 litre tank soon and was wondering if I could keep a sff and some guppies in there, or if I should stick with guppies and let them breed and just have alot of guppies.
  14. I wasn't angry this " :facepalm:" might of been more appropriate for the situation, would having 5 or so females affect having gouramis? I've read that fish like gourami might be mistaken for another siamese fighter fish, would this be a problem, also would a bolivian ram or two "attack" fish like gourami siamese fighter fish or tetras?
  15. Thanks for the info, by the way I got the stand sorted out.
  16. Where did the quote you quoted come from that information incorrect :an!gry I'm buying 10 more diamond tetras and 20 neons next week.
  17. Hi, I have a 500L tank that's looking abit empty, there is currently some diamond tetra's clown loach glasscats zebra loach living in there. I plan on getting some bolivian rams and dwarf, opaline and pearl gourami, would a female siamese fish fighter work or is it best to keep them to their own tanks. Thanks
  18. Wasn't sure looked up lionheads and saw what they looked like when they were fully grown don't look very similar. Thanks
  19. 90% water changes twice a week. . Think gourami is the way to go I love the pearl gourami.
  20. http://imgur.com/Ff57vsL Apparently he is a lionhead cichlid, but not sure he is only about 1cm long.
