Unhappy Male

Today L noticed that our male Sailfin Molly was acting strangely. He does not seem to be able to swim properly and is struggling to right himself. Will keep an eye on him.

Nursery Plant

A good plant to rear young fish, especially those from a live bearer is Bacopa australis. We have noticed that most of the very small babies live amongst the leaves and stems of the plant and survive long enough to become a size that will make it more difficult to be eaten. Because the survival rate is so high, this will lead to the tank becoming more populate at a higher rate.
