The blue rams were very good parents, they kept the other fish well away from their eggs, kept the eggs clean and removed white eggs (these would not have hatched). Unfortunately by day 3, they were sick of the whole parenting thing. The number of eggs diminished until none were left. I’m assuming the parents [...]

Posted in Uncategorized on September 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Tank one- 20g- 5 female guppies, 3 black kuhlie loaches
Tank two- 20g- 5 rummynose tetras, and now two german blue rams.
I aquired two german blue rams on Thrusday, 10th September. Thankfully they all [...]
JUNE UPDATE

Things have been running pretty smoothly. I currently have three tanks set up; if you’re interested in my current stocking or tank details, take a look my page, ’The Tanks and Fish.’ I have put a heater in each of the tanks, ready for Winter (it’s getting quite cool here in Australia).
I’m still aiming to get that [...]

Many of you would be familiar with my Siamese fighting fish, or betta, named Ajax. Not too long ago I went away for a few days. You may be aware that most fish can go more than a few days without feeding easily. Despite my clear request that nobody touch my fish while I was [...]

Well i’m afraid I have some very bad news that i’m quite upset about. Captain Gills, my fancy goldfish of 3 or so years, is sitting on his side at the bottom of the tank. He’s breathing slowly and every now and then I see him wiggle, but he’s not even strong enough to maintain [...]

The last time I tried to add some photos to the site they didn’t work out, so i’ll try again. Before I do i just thought i’d clear things up about the Youtube video. I tried several times to upload it, but it never processed. At any rate, let’s see if I can get the [...]

When you purchase guppies and they are fully grown, they are most likely already over a year old. Seeming that I have had him for a year or so, i’d say my blue-tailed male guppy had a pretty good run. Unfortunatelly, he passed away last night. He was very weak and was being pushed about [...]

Well, in hope to set up a marine tank sometime in the future, i’m going after a bigger tank. Instead of a 42 gallon, the tank i’m now looking at is 56 gallons, and a foot longer. The new dimentions are 48″ long x 15″ wide x 18″ high. As for stocking, I was thinking:
2x [...]
