Five dwarf golden barbs.

I've never seen them before and they look different to their golden/green brethren.

They'll grow to around 3cm which is ideal for my tank.

I've taken a many photo(s) but as you'll appreciate, getting a good one with a phone and not being a pro is tricky but I think this is the best one.

They're about 1cm long at the moment, including the tail.

See about getting yourself a few assassin snails.

They eat aquatic snails and look nice.

I have a few and they've been so good at clearing up the snail problem in my tank that I have to go out especially to scrape off pest snails from the tanks at my local Pets at Home, which they willingly let me have for free.

Thanks, I'll give it a whirl :)

Any good or should I stick with the Tetra brand?

Cheers.

My eyesight isn't what it was but luckily I've got one of those new-fangled phones with a huge screen, about twice the size of the <spit> iPhone.

PC screens are easier to read though but spending all day outside at work doesn't make pinching, scrolling, double-tapping and zooming easy on my phone.

It doesn't look like this format is compatible anyway.

I don't agree with Apple either but viewing other forums using tapatalk is so much easier.

True, you may get asked to download the app when you come across a forum that uses it but that'll be the last time you do.

35,000 forums use it. I'm a fan.

Boo! Thanks anyway

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but would it be hard to make this forum Tapatalk-friendly?

It would certainly make it easier to use on a mobile device!

Yersh.. Same here. Between asking and acting, it very quickly became so fat I thought it was going to split. Gut feeling said it was not going to recover and I euthenased it.

The others seem fine but fwiw, I noticed a couple of white spots on my massive Platy's tail just now so don't know if this is connected.

Water parameters are fine but changed 10% anyway and gave a day-one dose of Esha Exit and Esha 2000.

Lucky I bought them as I've never needed to use the Exit before and thought I may have wasted my money. The water is now a disco green colour though I know this will clear

You may be right about them looking pale but the light is on and I hacked my phone last week and as a result mucked up the camera, one of the things being unable to do anything with the exposure.

I'll fish it out, I don't want to give any of the others anything nasty. I checked neon tetra disease earlier and it doesn't seem to have any of the symptoms, I mean it's staying with the others, it isn't hiding, it's not contorted etc.

I just wanted to see if it was full of eggs but my original feeling is that it wasn't and needed a second opinion.

Also no sign of dropsy.

I'm fishing it out.
