Ok that sounds good. Its a pretty big tank with plenty places to hide so hopefully there will be no deaths. thanks for your help! Dave

plec is tiny, maybe an inch. Definitely not eating them as mentioned none of the shrimp are berried so it looks like they don't want to breed. There are plenty or hiding places big chunk of moss in a 40 litre tank with wood and anubais. normal gravel, small filter that came with the tank. I...

nah it's not stupid but I don't think that's it. There are about 20 in there definitely a mix of sexes

Has anyone ever had a problem breeding their cherry shrimp? I read everywhere how easy it is and you have to do is leave them to it but I'm having real trouble. The things I read that will stop them breeding are extreme temperature or brand new tanks. The tank has been set up for a few years...

Are they feeding them magnets?

very informative. I have a pair of Apistogramma macmasteri in with green neons (Paracheirodon Simulans) without knowing anything about dither fish have i inadvertently done well?

Thats a shame, I was hoping to remove the plastic off mine, yours is much nicer!

Another good one is Wholesale Tropicals in Bethnal Green. Favorite place for tropical fish but also has a pretty good plant collection. Went in yesterday and had all sorts i had never seen for sale before

sorry what is a dither? i have seen it mentioned a few times

My kind of photo! I'm usually into really colourful fish but otos just have something about them that makes me love them

Have you been to Crewes Hill? There are 4 or 5 fish shops up there which might have what you are looking for

Very interesting read thanks for that! Looks like i need to wait for some flowers then. I will keep an eye out for little bulbs too. The article implies the lillypads are not desirable, i love them.

I have a red tiger lotus in my tank. It is doing really well and has 7 lillypads. Does anyone know how it propagates? I know it grows from a bulb but do you have to dig it up and cut the bulb? Any help would be appreciated

I love your tank. Simple yet effective (although getting it to look that way is far from simple)
