Your Clowns look lovely. How d'you get them to behave so well for the video?

Since Madduff gave us some Red Cherry Shrimp and we bought some more to boost the numbers from our local Maidenhead Aquatics in Woking with the Fish Mind Tricks working exceptionally well we are now overrun with Cherry Shrimp. Overrun to the point where we are putting some in with the Goldfish for t...

hmm, not able to help with an ID but we had some odd coloured ones in with our Cherry Shrimps too. We just came to the conclusion that they were genetic throwbacks to a none red/pink cherry shrimp.

So for one reason or another LES.. and I haven't been around here much lately. One reason is we have lost most of our P.Cheni and were feeling a bit guilty. Most of them we haven't been sure why either as they weren't old enough to be dying of old age. So we are now down to our one lonely female Che...

We certainly did not have any 'special' situation when our P.Cheni decided to spawn in the first tank they were in. For a while ours were breeding quite prolifically. LES.. can tell you lots more than I can, but certainly at first there wasn't anything we did for the best situation. For more informa...

Hey Emma, LES.. told me about your sad news last week. :cry: Sorry to hear about Marge. She was _the_ Queen Clown Loach. There will be a big space in the tank without her. As my dad says she has gone to the great fish tank in the sky and will be bossing all the other fish round! I am glad to have me...

Goldfish are usually quite hardy souls. Your fish seems to have the same as my parents fish. For reasons unknown he keeps losing part of his top - dorsal fin and it's not fin rot. We suspect something naturally occuring in the water. His regrowing fin has black patches on it. (I might take our test ...

That's a lovely fish btw (whatever size/shape it is). The shape is very reminiscient of my first goldfish who I now know was sick, but we didn't know. Whilst I can't help with the exact diagnosis, as already said it could be a tunour, kidney problem or something else. My fish also had a swim bladder...

WoW :shock:
Those are some stunning fish Emma. Hope they aren't as shy as the Wui's though.

Yes I do have some pics from the pub - am working on tidying them and uploading them before posting on here............

Nothing too terrible really!

Lovely Homeloptera's Mark.

Sorry we forgot to tell you that loopiness runs in our aquatic family!

WOW Oddessy, Stunning pictures. Makes me - (read us) want to get more of those. It's certainly a very cute and pretty fish!

The Yellow fin Gastro is beautiful. It came home with us and is currently confusing the P.Cheni and ambling round the tank :) .

Thanks for posting those pictures Mark. It's good to see our Guys and Gals looking good and grumpy in the photo tank with all those fins up! Hope 'Paws' as we nicknamed him will do a good job as an Alpha/ breeding male for you. :) He has the trademark large bristles (sorry if it's not the correct na...

If you can make it Helen it would be nice to see you! even if we have to keep you awake. :)
