Re: Staffylovers multiple tank thread
Sarah to be fair mine were fine in the 100l with other fish - danio's/ glass fish, but the male especially rests on the substrate a fair bit rather like a Betta would do, they didn't cope well in the 200l as they are just not that active, nice fish but hard to fit into a community set up. fr499y ar...

So the 25L aquarium in the kitchen is no more, Took my eye off it for a couple of days as I was busy with work, when I checked it again the water was cloudy and the fish had died, it was an easy fix 1.5 buckets is an 80% water change and takes about 10mins, I think the problem may have been caused b...

Re: Red cherry shrimp eggs
I have kept Scarlett Badis before I would not recommend them for a community, they are tiny and shy and slow eaters they do not compete well with others, there is a larger version called Badis Badis or Blue Perch that might be more suited but I've not kept those myself, if Harlequins are suitable ex...
