i was wandering if someone could help me. my guppies aregetting a whiting on there fins and tails. i was wondering if this is some sort of fin wrot. if it is...
It may be a bacterial infection? If it is one easy way to keep the number of harmful Bacteria down in the aquarium is to add 4g of salt per litre of water. (I...
It could be fin rot, or it could be fungus. As Derek says, salt can work wonders. Among the fish intolerant salt are most of the tetras and catfish, and all of...
Hello all -- I'm reading a thread on another forum about whether or not pH effects the sex ratio in livebearer broods. Anyone have any thoughts on this? The...
Folks, Does anyone have an opinions on the Aqualog livebearers book? An America retailer is offering this book at the knockdown rate of 70 USD, about 40 UKP....
Hello Neale, As I sit here at my desk looking at the AquaLog book in question I can tell you it has 22 pages total in pictures of various halfbeaks and...
Kevin, Thanks so much for you mini-review of the Aqualog book. I'm still not sure 70 dollars is worth it for 22 pages on halfbeaks, but that's certainly more...
Folks, Am I right in believing that none of the traded goodeids or poecilids does well in soft, acid water? I keep my community tank at pH 6.5 and a hardness...
You`re mostly right - you have though some exceptions in the Poeciliidae-family. I think it`s a good idea trying found a new home to the Mollies, if you...

Neale Yes, I can see, they have been moved allready...I was reading a little bit to fast, and that`s bad in a foreign language...:-) You are interested in the...
Thue, Yes -- exactly! Are there poecilids and goodeids that thrive in soft, acid water. I guess a good question is, if not, why not? Killifish have a common...
Ok Neale As said there are exceptions among poecilids - but no goodeids as far as I know. Here you have some poecilids who more or less likes acid (lesser than...
Thue -- This is a phylogenetic conundrum to me, also. Assuming they both evolved from a common ancestor, presumably marine, then they must each have comparable...
Hi, There are a number of livebearers that would do very well in your tank. Brachyrhaphis are found in waters similar to yours. A collection made in Panama on...
I have just emptied a tank of X. xiphidium crescents (Rio Corona). There were 36 adults, 48 juveniles and a lot of young. The count among the adults was 30...
