I got some rummy-nose tetras! There are five of them, just a small school, hearding around my tank. They are wonderful to watch, and so very colourful! They really do add to the tank’s appearance. I would reccomend them to anyone with a descent sized tank and peaceful fish. I have actually found them quite hardy. The youngest of the five, when i bought it home, had no bottom lobe of the tail. Within a few weeks, it has almost completely grown back!
As beautiful as they both are, my two golden apple snails now have antennae about a cm long. The young guppies constantly nip at them. I am hoping that once I get these guppies to new homes they will regrow and my snails can live out the rest of their lives in a much more peaceful manner.
My prized female guppy has unfortunatelly passed away. I believe it was likely from stress (poor thing). with only one female in the tank, the male was constantly harassing her and the young guppies were always trying to nip at her tail. She has blessed me with many guppy fry, the most recent of which in the net breeder to ensure their survival (only approx 5 could be salvaged). She was flushed yesterday, on the 5th July 2008.

My platy isn’t looking very healthy. She may be getting constipafed, though peas are not helping. on top of her head, she has a bump, and her scales are slightly raised, but only on the bump. I know it is not dropsy, as she is not bloated and her scales are not all raised. she seems to have some type of ammonia burn on the bottom edge of her tail fin, though my parameters in my tank are fine and the tank is perfectly clean. It may be TB, though i doubt it. I don’t think it’s infectios, she has had it for a while and none of the other fish have been affected by it, not even the youngest fry.
