A bit of fish room reality 👀🐟

Not everything in fishkeeping goes to plan, and that’s just part of it.

Sometimes you’ll see hundreds of fry appear out of nowhere, and other times you’ll get full breeding behaviour with nothing coming of it.

At the end of the day, fish will be fish.

The biggest part of it all is the day to day maintenance, keeping every tank stable, healthy, and consistent.

But when it does come together, watching fish display their true colours during breeding, watching fry grow out, and seeing them go on to good homes makes it all worth it in the end!

P.s. Always appreciate getting updates when fish are thriving in their new home tanks, it’s always great to see! Thank you all so much 💙

Feel free to share your setups, ask questions, or message us anytime, always happy to help.

Want to breed your Bristlenose Plecos but not sure where to start? 👀🐟

• Conditioning and diet before breeding
• Water changes and spawning triggers
• Choosing the right caves
• Tips for improving breeding success

Big moment in the fish room 👀🧡

After such a long time, our Orange Spot Bristlenose pair are finally showing breeding behaviour again!

You can see the female sitting inside the cave while the male guards the entrance and makes sure she stays tucked away safely. If all goes well, hopefully there will be eggs very soon 🤞

Orange Spot Bristlenose (Rio Ucayali) are a rarer type of bristlenose pleco, so seeing this behaviour again is pretty exciting.

Now we wait and see if the male gets the cave full of eggs 🥚🐟

• Peppermint bristlenose sizing up well, may have some Large Male , Female & pairs avaliable by the end of the year
• More breeding activity starting as cooler weather settles in

Lots more favourites and higher stock numbers on the way 👍

New fish room addition - Pygmy Corydoras (Corydoras pygmaeus) 🐟

These tiny little corydoras stay around just 2.5–3cm fully grown, making them an excellent choice for nano aquariums and small peaceful community tanks.

Unlike larger corys that spend majority of their time on the floor, Pygmy Corydoras like to spend more time midwater swimming in little schools! Their peaceful nature makes them a great option for beginners, planted tanks, and community setups with other small, non-aggressive fish.

✔ Peaceful community fish
✔ Great for planted and nano aquariums
✔ Beginner friendly
✔ Best kept in groups

Just make sure tank mates are peaceful and small enough not to see them as food.

Update on the discus eggs 👀🐟

They unfortunately ended up eating this batch, which is quite common, especially with newer pairs.

It can take a few attempts for cichlids like discus to learn how to successfully raise a clutch. They may even eat eggs or fry a few times while figuring things out, but usually improve with each spawn.

At least now we know we’ve got a pair, and we’ll be watching closely for the next attempt 👀

Exciting news in the fishroom!
Discus laying and fertilising eggs 👀🐟

First batch from this pair, always so cool capture moments like this in the fish room!

Discus are egg-layers, with the female laying eggs while the male follows closely behind to fertilise them. They’ll usually choose flat surfaces or broad leaves to lay on, just like in this video 👀

Let’s see how this one goes 🤞
