I only ask as I've heard from many sources that knocking or tapping on the glass stresses fish, in turn stress can result in death. Just wondered why someone would do that intentionally that's all :)

Out of interest why do you knock the glass? Do you mean like knocking on a door?

Lovely looking Bettas! Where did you get them from? My old tank was low tech, set up for 3 years had a lovely hareem of female bettas in there. No-where near as nice as yours standard wise - but I preferred the colours of mine ;) had several turquoisey marble sd from Joby (you might know her...

I couldn't see a lot of differences between the two, I imagine though that some people may have got them confused on the images search. For anyone who is interested White Cloud Mountain Minnows are Tanichthys albonubes (according to wikipedia) and the Vietnamese White Cloud Minnows are...

Sorry Amy, but were ALL the Khuli loaches in the filter?!

My 3 were marine fish and my mudskipper though :( He was about 3 years old, and pretty well grown when we got him.

Size of tank these will go in?

I had badis badis, which got no bigger than 1.5 inches. The male was black and red vertical stripes on body (most of the time, as it changed pattern like a chameleon) and blue dorsal fin. Female was slightly bigger with brownish stripes. Lovely fish, had some personality. They took frozen food...

Thanks for the info Chrisi!

What you want John is some Beckfordi Pencilfish :lol:

If you feed puffers an adequete diet containing enough hard shelled food you would not have to trim their beaks. In a planted tank you could easily grow plenty of snails such as ramshorns for their food. Some puffers live happily together, my fiance has a pair of green spotted puffers that are...

Hi, The data my water supplier gives:- Portsmouth South Zone mg/l CaCO3 ppm CaCO3 - 282 Clarkes d English - 19.7 German dH - 15.8 French dF 28.2 mg/l Calcium 112.9 mmol/l Alk Earths 2.8 My 11 cardinals look really bright and healthy! Haven't lost a single one yet - touch wood!

There are plenty of other micro rasbora types without having cpds. Heres some nice ones:- http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/speciesSummary.php?ID=24410&genusname=Microrasbora&speciesname=erythromicron They look a bit dull in this pic but I have seen ones that have really vivid colours.

Aha, I used to buy them from tescos on bogof... About £3.99 for two massive bags frozen... Its hard to tell from the pictures if its not an ulcer... My fiances GSP just got an eye infection for no reason, and this whole cloudy layer was over it... Seems ok now, so maybe it'll fix itself...

Yeah the people on the puffer forum are very knowledgable. Is it an ulcer? I am not a fan of melafix, it is quite harsh to fish I think. Are you feeding the puffer a good diet of prawns/mussels/snails etc? If not prepare to be whipped by the puffer forum people. Good water quality will help...

I visited Arundel Avairies in Arundel Street, Portsmouth today and they have loooooads of micro fish! Loads of types of rasboras, including cpds and this really cool type which are the same shape but have tiger stripes and a spot by the tail. I would give latin names but they don't tend to label...
