January 22, 200818 yr comment_208098 hi all newbie here will probably ask a heap of questions so i will apologize for it now Location : Tasmania.. Australia Am here to learn and ask for your patience and knowledge Aqua22 Report
January 22, 200818 yr comment_208138 Welcome and as one very wise fish keeper I know once said, only people who have kept fish for less than 6 months know it all, everyone else is still learning. Report
January 22, 200818 yr comment_208185 Hi & welcome! You have come to the right place to ask questions, people are truly wonderful here and always eager to help. I'd be lost without them and probably would have given up long ago if I didn't have such wonderful people to help me. Plus that is how we learn by asking questions Let us know what size tank, fishies...that you have and when you can post a pic. Take care & have fun, Caper Report
January 23, 200818 yr Author comment_208270 thanks for the huge welcome guys feel at home already we have 3 x guppies 1 x leopard catfish 1x bolivian butterfly 1x plact (sp?) i have had to move the catfish and 2 guppies into a smaller tank as the purple coloured guppy ate half the tail off one of the guppies then started attacking the other guppy. the catfish i moved into the smaller tank as he seemed a little bewilderd with all the fighting. All happy now that they are separated Gee thought guppies where supposed to be easy for the first timer LOL Report
January 23, 200818 yr comment_208272 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) Report
January 23, 200818 yr Author comment_208273 ok i was told guppies where all male and i am going to try and post some photos so you guys can help me out Report
January 23, 200818 yr Author comment_208274 i only have a 30 litre tank i am truly a beginner how do i add photos???? Report
January 23, 200818 yr comment_208287 to post a pic, best bet is to go to a site called photobucket, there are others but its what i use. register and upload your photo/s you will note below the pic you uploaded that there are 3 or 4 very techo looking addresses click on the Img one (it will save automatically) the simply paste in your message on the forum.

January 23, 200818 yr comment_208318 Looks good. Love the Betta! I think the Fish you have listed as a bolivian butterfly Ram is actually a Kribensis, but I can't see too well as its a bit blurry Report

January 23, 200818 yr comment_208440 Nice fishies To tell the difference between a male and female guppy is fairly easy, look at the anal fin. In the female it is "open" so to speak, where as in the male it is thin and pointed, it is called a gonopodium. Next time you are in a pet store just take a look and see if you can tell the difference. Oh also most females you can see a dark spot that is called the gravid spot under near the fish's tail. I hope I explained it ok, anybody can jump in and help :oops: Caper Report
January 23, 200818 yr comment_208457 guppies are very easy to sex males are small and have big colourful tails. females are big with small tails. simple as that. Report
January 23, 200818 yr comment_208463 Also you know females instantly, as they are the ones getting chased Report
