Never ask me for cheap L134 fry since atm I don't have any and because this is the sort of rot my females go through when they try to breed. Eaten to bits and if I find out what male did it he's in BIG trouble!

Hi Brengun,
Yes that reminds me I had 3 pairs of paradise fish ,the first male killed his female,I bought another he killed it too,the other male did not allow the female to eat,it became very thin, I separated it feed it to size and put it back in the same thing, put the other female the same, the 3rd male treated his females well and I bred him with both females.
I tell it how I saw it cheers , PEPPER 28

Still got three nice fat females with the two males and everyones having a sleep over in a 65L plastic container tonight. Canister, heater and powerhead all in there too.
Gravel underwater in a tall bucket with an airstone at the bottom bubbling up thru the gravel. Should be able to get away with only a slight mini cycle when I get the new tank.

New tank is 4ft x 15 x 18" same as the old one. Put the ugf in and the gravel which I had in a bucket with water covering and an airstone right down the bottom to keep the bacteria alive. I was in a hurry so just taped a backing on instead of 3 coats of paint.
TDS only 75, ph 7.1 and no signs of ammonia yet. Maybe I got away without a mini-cycle?

That photo work? I tried a facebook one.
