@Gail_68 The only ones of your fish I know are the guppies, and I only learned about them when one of my friends was in a panic, she said one of her guppies had babies, gave me a tea strainer and instructed me to catch as many babies as I could and put them in a little tank before the other fish ate them :rolleyes:
Best behaviour please at all times :ROFLMAO: we're only discussing fishies :p
Oh I can assure you, I am on my very best behaviour ;)

Tetters I've made sure all my guppies are male because the males fight more when there's females but that's usually the way in life :p

@zigs it's not like they're expensive and the life span is only 2-3yrs and at one shop if you buy 4 you get one free which isn't bad...these two that have dropped dead came from the holly bush cannock and the chap told me and hubby they're shipped from abroad in crats and they have to move quick to get them established.

I know, but it mattered to that fish :(

I spent an hour throwing fish back into the sea after a storm washed them up, someone said "What good will that do, there are so many fish?"

I said "it matters to these fish..."

I know that zigs but to me it seems like their fish are going through a lot of transportation then they're being sold and all that get to much for them, your true it is a shame, that's why I moved it from the others to stop it coming a target and it picked up and now this.

I've got all API stuff stress coat / zyme I add to help them...my new cupboard is full with stuff.
