Re: New Tank Log: VikingMummy

We must be having weekly spawnings as I keep spotting tiny fry every week just as the previous dry start getting adventurous and swim around a bit more. I reckon 2-3 are surviving each time and I’ve definitely counted 8 fry of various sizes all at once, but know that specific count hasn’t included t...

Re: Stocking advice for 80L Tank

I agree with Plankton (it’s generally wise to!) that it’s not really long enough for rummies. Harleys are also really very active swimmers and the ones I used to have got quite territorial and nippy with each other even in a 240L tank. Something like hengeli or espei might be a better option if you’...

Don’t have photos available now but my favourite was Ghost, our white betta.

Did a quick Google: PASS Aquatics, Jesmond Drive, Bridge of Don. I was also going to say Waterworld but that’s closed down now.

Re: Starter advice - help!

Hi and welcome to the forum :) I echo what VikingMummy2015 had said. Get the largest aquarium that is in your budget range, the bigger the aquarium the more options available. Water hardness is a key factor when selecting fish (there are soft water fish species and hard water fish species); which t...

Re: Starter advice - help!

Best to get as big a tank as you have room for; lots of second hand options go for quite cheap on eg Facebook Marketplace too. You’ll need to figure out your water parameters to get the right stock; looks like you had a right mix of hard and soft water species as well as some not suited to tank shar...

Re: New Tank Log: VikingMummy

We’ve had another spawning as I saw more smaller fry again during/after today’s water change. At one point I was able to count 10 fry at various sizes. The older ones are definitely starting to get braver and coming out and about a wee bit more. Definitely one male amongst them as even his fins are ...

Re: Baby snail appeared

When you zoom in, yes it’s a black variant of a Sulawesi (mine are the standard yellow). My baby ones have smoother, more elongated shells.

Re: Baby snail appeared

Hmmm…difficult to tell but it doesn’t look quite right shell for a Sulawesi. You can see their distinctive body shape and colour from tiny (I have new babies appearing most weeks). An individual can produce live young (not eggs) because they hold onto the young internally for a looooong time.
