Some day you need to tell us how many fish tanks you have!

Just finished S2 of Happy Valley, another Brit cop show. But not just another though, one of their best. It's actually getting better as it goes along. The acting is so good, it deserves one of the highest ratings I've ever seen on Prime.

If you crush the ones near the top against the glass you'll usually get a feeding frenzy. It's a good treat if you don't mind that sort of thing. That must be a tough guppy to go after them whole.

That's funny, I didn't realize he was Uncle Vernon until you said it. It seems like there are only about 25 actors on British TV playing all the roles on their different shows. I spend half the time using the Prime Video X-ray feature that gives you the background on the actors and helps you...

Could be parasites. They basically are eating all the food they ingest so there's not much left to poop out. I usually do a dose of PraziPro if I see it.

It was great, but I can't really be specific about it, I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

Looks like a young female. I don't like those clamped fins. Is she always doing that? Hopefully she's looking better soon.

Take the heater out if you have one. Guppies are healthier at room temperature. For an all male tank, try to get ones that are of similar size, speed and even fin type. A sleek, small & fast male can make life miserable for a big & slow long-fined male. I'll just add the size and speed thing...

I'd say you are right. Definitely a much fuller belly in the 2nd photo.

I'll 2nd the intake sponges. They end up doing most of the work collecting debris and minimize the amount of cleaning the rest of your filter will need. Sponges are all you need internally as well. I'd just add extra internal sponges and maybe floss in place of carbon and ceramics.

Guppy grass, duckweed & frogbit are my favourites. There's probably lots of other good options, just figure out what's available where you are.

Just finished S10 of Alone, best season in a while. Next up is the new Alone Australia series.

How many fish have you had in the tank at the same time? My general advice with a new tank is just go slow. That and have some good fast growing plants to keep your water clean. Even after you're cycled it seems to take a while before it's completely stable and ready for a full bio-load.

We just started MM again a while ago, just once a week. Only 6 seasons in, still 15 more to go. This could take a while.

Sounds like a familiar problem. A small tank can be tricky with mis-matched males. If I was going to try keep a few males in a 5G I'd get males from the same batch that grew up together and had similar characteristics - ie size & speed. Tbh, even though I'm a guppy fan, I'd go with a Betta in...

The Pact and starting my way through Elementary. The Sherlock character grates on you but I'm guessing he slowly gets more and more likeable as the series progresses (I hope).

My experience is that adults that are used to having fry around only "thin the herd" when there are newborn fry a few days old. They basically seem to be eliminating the weak ones. After that they can swim right past their noses. But in tanks with no fry, and you reintroduce fry, even...

I find ramshorn outcompete them. I suspect they eat their eggs. They kind of end up being the same thing, but I think they're nicer to look at.

Yup, keep it an enjoyable hobby. Find your fun and comfortable zone otherwise it starts feeling like a job.

Is it a newly set up tank? I find all my new setups go through a cloudy phase at some time in the first few months. I just wait it out, and it seems to go away as things balance out and the new plants get established.
