    Hi Lindy i had bunched plants in the tank but they didn't last long,i think looking at pictures, that they might have been Elodea.They were sold at my local MA as bunched oxygenating plants.Question,do you think that adding ferts to the water would help the plants as they appeared to die off and...

    Hi Lindy , I've found out by looking up on the internet that the spots are I fact fish lice, nasty things. They may have been on the new fish that I got but are soo small unill they mature that you would not see them. I took one of the smaller fish out of the tank last night and brushed one of...

    Hi everyone just a quick update on my oranda. He now has some playmates and they all seem to get along well. The new additions have been in the tank for about 6 weeks now. I have a problem that I've only just noticed on the tail fins of the 2 oranda namely largish greeny yellow spots, not any on...

    Evening everyone, it's been way too long since I've updated this or any of my journals but hopefully now that the cold dark winter evenings are here there is now nothing to do but sit and read UKAPS and keep updating my journals. You will be pleased to know that my oranda is still going strong...

    Paulo, I know it's not an ideal size for him and i will be looking at getting him a new home soon when, as i said earlier ,my son closes down his Rio 180.He will also benefit from getting some companions at the same time. Thanks for the comment and don't worry,he will be looked after. Cheers Martin

    Hi Lindy he is quite a big fish and may now be getting to big for the orb. At the moment I don't have a bigger home for him but I will look into this. My son is looking at closing down a 3 foot Rio 180 and that could be a possible house move and if this does happen ill get him a few new...

    Oh he certainly is a curious loveable individual. Wow 21 years. I never realised they lived that long. Cheers Martin Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

    Evening all as well as having the Rio180 and the Edge23 i have this little chap. He's grown a fair bit in the 2 years i've had him. He's in a Biorb 60l on the shelf in the hall and greets me in the morning as i come down the stairs. I have to resist the urge to overfeed him because as soon as he...

    Cheers for the comments guys. My sons quite chuffed that they have bred. He doesn't live with us at the moment and pops back a couple of times a week to check/ feed the fish. He noticed that they had dug out a nest a few weeks ago and only spotted the fry on Sunday. I'll keep you posted with...

    Just like to say sorry for the crap photos. Can't get too close as the parents get spooked and Shepard the young to safety. Fascinating to watch the young following the parents around and watching the parents looking out for anyone who comes too close to them. They built a small nest area under...
