Hi Steve, the long-winded reply is much appreciated!! It was a long-winded question anyway. I'm pretty sure hair grass is one of the varities I have in the...
Hiya Lee, No problem, glad to help, couple of points, the dirt in the gravel will, with time, settle down through the stones to form a layer between the tank...
Ever thought about writing a book Steve? It'd be a bestseller guaranteed!!! ;-) Thanks for your advice. I bought the bogwood a couple of months ago so it's not...
Hiya Lee, years ago I DID start a book, but it was never finished, perhaps one day..... . By all means add some more fish, if you are having success with...

Hi there, sounds like a nice fish, just make sure the little one has plenty of places to hide if the display of dominance gets a bit too much, dense foliage is...
Do you think this might settle down?or will the wee one just keep out of his way? steve shepherd <steve53549@...> wrote: Hi there, sounds like a nice...
Hiya, Not easy to be definate, sometimes they are fine together, sometimes not. Even equally matched fish can live together for a long time then one day one...

Hiya, glad all is going well. Sexing Corys is not easy, there are a cuople of species that are sexually dimorphic, but generally females tend to be much fatter...
Hi, one of the gourami's I bought last weekend seems to have several white spots on his head and mouth area, is this the dreaded white spot?? He has spent a...
Hiya, White-spot usually shows as a dusting all over the fish's body, if there are just a few at the moment I doubt if it is white-spot. However it will do no...
Thanks Steve, I'll go to the fish shop tomorrow and buy some stuff to treat the tank, to be safe. The temperature is fine but I need to replace a nozzle on the...
Hi Lee, if you can't find the part you need, maybe you could consider an air pump and air stone? It's always handy to have a one knocking around they come in...

Hi Lee, I wouldn't worry too much about the chasing, it's what they do! Just about all my fish do it and as long as their is no damage being done it's not a...
Thanks very much Steve. Good to hear the fish are doing what comes naturally and I've not turned them into crazed food-hungry beasts! A fair amount of the food...
In my 2ft tank I have 5 corys, 1 otociclus, 5 harlequins, 3 mollies, and 2 keyhole cichids. I would ideally like to add either some dwarf angels or dwarf...
Hiya Georgina, I would say that the tank is getting on for being pretty full as it is I'm afraid. The Keyholes are going to make about 4-5" and I would...
