They can be tropical or cold water apparently Pat. The other is doing very well so I dont know what happened to it but fish can be very volitile creatures. |

Have you got a filter in your tank Elaine? I couldn't tell from the pictures. And you might need to have your Ph levels tested in the tank. I would phone up one of the pet shops that sell fish and ask them. If I remember rightly there was a big one on George Street and one on the shopping precinct on the way up to Hilton, not sure though. |

Borrowed the works testing kit and the water seems fine. I am begining to think I have a killer Danio. I was watching him chasing the smaller fish, he's not eating them or anything but he may be stressing them. He seems to be more settled now though. Will keep a close watch. |

I had a similar problem whrn I had a tank...fish kept ending up dead and floating: seems it was the Angel fish harrassing them...they were all smaller than him: guppies, zebras, etc! But still like Angel fish despite their bullying behaviour; solved it by getting two more Angels! Peace!!! |

Oh you've got me going now FISH. I keep Cichlids, Juli's - Julidochromis transcriptus  (mouthful eh) that why they call them Juli's. They love artifical caves and a sand substrate. I start with 6-9 individuals in a tank approx 113 litres (30 gallons) then when I geta pair transfer them to a smaller tank approx (15 gallons) 57L I also keep Tropheus duboisi they live in a group I keep at approx 15 in my big tank (65 gallons) 246 litres they love the rocks piled up making caves passage-ways. They are maternal mouthbrooders. But at the moment considering going back to basics and going back to guppies I used to adore breeding guppies all the different variety of tail colours such happy little fish Those with platties. Never liked angel fish but adores Mollies (sailfins) used to find they did better with a little salt (marine) in the water a they adored it. May return to tropical fishkeeping very relaxing. |

Juli's hard to get a picture of but this is it.  Tropheus duboisi The top picture are the adults their colour is the same male and female blue almost metalic with a yellow band gorgeous no picture does them justice the bottom are juvinille's hard to believe they are the same fish isn't it? even the youngsters are colurful you can't tell if you have male or females till they start breeding the females are mouthbrooders.  |
