Iv had DP's before and they are cute and interesting however, I want fish that are big enough to see from across the room while im watching tv lol Also I have a few fish already that i dont wanna get rid of. I am sure they would nip my bgk Klaus quite a lot! Lol I loved my fire eel i had a while ago...

My clown loach is an odd one as i have tried putting some fellow clowns with him in the past the same size as him but he vertially bullied them to death. I think he think my acara is a clown loach as he shadows him round all the time lol I might try again with another loach and see how it goes! Any ...

Ok, so i will be making an absolute huge leap from a 30 gallons freshwater to tank to a whooping 100 gallon freshwater next month. Its a huge 'make my fish happy' project lol I was wondering if there is any advice regards to if the filter media from my smaller tank is enough to colonise my bigget ta...

So, last night I freaked out as I swapped my filters around from my tanks and left for work. Only to come in and find one of the tanks was unusually cloudy. I was so worried but found out it was a bacteria forming to deal with the change. Btw both tanks have been completely cycled and are both fresh...

Wow! So many responses, look at what iv started! Haha I did end up getting the Aqueon but bought a metal adapter with it as well (which hasnt arrived yet!) I used it for the first time the other day and everyone is still happy :) Yay I was so worried as id never put the water in without putting the ...

Just purchased the Aquen water changer I hope it's good as everyone on youtube demonstarting it makes the process look easy... Cant wait to get it, anyone else have one of these? So pleased I dont need to lift buckets of water anymore haha

Hello, So I am getting rid of my two smallish tanks to upgrade to one big new one :) I am getting a 240 litre 50 gallons, will be freshwater. I wanted a spiny freshwater eel to complete the new tank. I have owned a fire eel before for 3 years but he died of a bacterial infection. I know they get qui...

Please could someone help me identify these two mbuna cichlids I have that were sold as blue zebras.... one is turning really yellow and the other is very dark!

Looks like a cute plush. Pufferpunk..... LOL I know the lips were the hardest part! Haha I am gonna work on the face of fish, might make one based on my fire eel Slinky...

So, I have made my Black Ghost Knife Fish into plush. This is based on Klaus my 2 year old BGK..... I can never find decent plush toys of fish species so I am thinking of starting a range myself. This plush would be a rough draft until I got a pattern sorted. What does everyone think? Hope the link ...

I have just bought my first bumble bee goby but its tiny and was worried about all my other fish including a convict chiclid but after having a little bit of a chase the little guy decided to befriend my 6" long fire eel Slinky and now he has become his sort of body guard! Hahah they even sleep...

I put him in a floating nursery inside the tank for about a week to judge the others reactions, they seemed ok so when i let him out he was chased a little bit but is now fine. He has teamed up with the fire eel in the tank as some sort of security guard haha they sleep together and everything cute

I was just wondering if anyone can help me. I have a 40gal tank with a baby molly in about 1/2 an inch long and its in with some much larger fish that can swallow it whole but they have never tried to eat her once. I was mis sold a 'firemouth' (albino) fish but turned out to be a convict Cichlid and...

I have only one female convict cichlid and was very surprised to see that she was really fat all of a sudden and then layed some eggs in the corner of the tank! She has never had another cichlid to partner up with and I have had her for about 3 months? Could she have been pregnant from the fish shop...
