Any signs of yours Shell?

I have a few at the moment, couple of Platy's and guppy's, just hope I don't find them gone yet again, only a couple of times they have ever lived till adults, am I not doing enough for them?

missed one

Shelley dont do a full water change, if you remove everything and clean thats fine but the water you keep fish in while u do it should go back in do not do complete change of water Baby Fish 729386

Gold fish (fantails) came be bullies in a tropical set up as this is not really there enviroment, this may be why ur other fish are dying off as the remainder are all peaceful fish

It would be nice to see a pic off ur set up Sandra have u added kribs yet?

Subject: Re: Baby Fish Tue Mar 17, 2009 12:22 am

i had wondered that kenny... im in two minds whether to take the fantails back but theyre lovely, ive never seen any evidence of them bullying

cheers for the adice about the water change :san53:

No Kenny, I haven't seen any around yet, I did see something like your picture, the long worded fish you posted, but they were £30 a pair :2431:

Subject: Re: Baby Fish Tue Mar 17, 2009 12:27 pm

yea some of the rarer ones are expensive , the dwarf zebra plecs were £50+ when they came out dont think its dropped much

Subject: Re: Baby Fish Tue Mar 17, 2009 10:43 pm

Sandra always stay clear of advertised pairs you can get the young fish cheaper and they will pair of themselves,an example of this is the angel fiah u see these as pairs in pet shops which are quite expensive.
but if you buy 4 young fish they may pair of as they grow u keep one pair sell the other back to shop,
Did you try ebay for fish yet ?
