no there are no parasites and it does not scrape itself. is it possible that it is just tired? its body is about the size of a 20c peice but it has extremly long fins that it often looks as it is stugling to swim. is this a possibility?

hey Guys, I have an angel fish that is really puzzling me and i cant tell if ther is something wrong with the fish or if it is crazy or just trying to just make me crazy. for about 2 months now it had started to "play dead" from sitting upside down in plants to lying motionless on the bottom of the tank and acting contorted next to the filter. but as soon as i put a net or my hand into the tank it swims around with lots of life. its eating fine and plays with the others it just has these moods. has anyone had this happen to them or have any advice? Thanks

the angels looked too interested in them and daddy was getting rather stressed out by it all but the babys are doing really really well in the trap. is that wrong?

they are going strong, i have caught 19 of them and put them into a breeding net and seem to be doing really well :lol: :lol: 8)

thanks guys and yes Dawn they are bristle nose eggs and the father is able to fan them under there you can see him quite clearly. here is a photo of the eggs

i have my first breeding in my tank :lol: :lol: i did a big water change on saturday nite and my bristle nose started digging and when we proped up the stone it showed there were rather large yellow eggs i will post some photos soon

wow hes cute but scary at the same time. :lol: wonderful mystic taking in the fish that do not fit

Snow man why is it about to be two?

that is one georgous angel!! i have quite a few angels now but really want one like that with long fins hes just beautiful, a shame that you had to take him back thoe.

Yes i do, i have 2 bristlnose, one called stubble and one called shadow (5 oclock shadow) all the rest have names to so with their colouring like a back alngel is midnight etc o and my bumbles are B1 and B2

awsome snails Phillz!! :lol:

ooohhhhhhhh my babys growing up sooo fast. he looks really happy thoe mystic he must love his new home. the only way to catch him is with two nets and slowly move them in to catch him between them he is just so fast its impossible to do it with just one

thank you Mytsic thank you jude i got the two yellow and black from anitames in the hutt and the other 3 from up in palmy. the black one (midnight) and the white and yellow (sunshine) are my pride and joy they are so cool.

i just took some pictures so that you can see my angels :lol: :lol: arnt they georgous....

ok so i now know what it is. its a blue and white zebra cichild. does anyone know how agressive these fish get? and what other fish go with it? i know that it does not go with ANY of the fish i had with it and it has to have dark gravel and no plants

dad left me note saying it may be a pseudotropheus zebra albino?

i got given it from animates in Wellington. it was the only one they had and didnt know what it was.

Hi i have just gotten my very first tank after falling in love with a baby Cichlid. i have one little problem..... i dont know what it actually is and neither did animates. would anyone be able to tell me what it actually is? its only two centermetres at the moment but he is only a baby :lol:
