Have some of the bamboo going straight up and other bits more diagonal, yet all with their tips above the waterline. In this way you can create a really authentic swamp or riverbank effect that works great for all sorts of community fish. It’s impossible to say for sure, but they certainly might! If you see two adults swimming while joined together, then they are mating. The male is below and grasps the female with some antenna-like protrusions that sprout from his head. They may stay like that for a few days. The eggs are too small to see, but you may notice the new baby Aqua Dragons appear. Don’t worry, the adult Aqua Dragons won’t eat them! Aqua Dragons only eat algae. Sunlight - natural light is beneficial and sunlight is good as long as it does not cause the water to become too hot. The first week is when Aqua Dragons are the most sensitive to temperature. The best temperature is from min 17ºC to 30ºC Water itself only carries a few filter bacteria, so moving old water into the new tank won’t be enough to cycle the new filter. However, half-filling the new tank with old water will minimise any problems with pH or hardness variation, so is worth doing on that score.

Failing that, connect both filters to the tank and have them running together for four to six weeks. But you may need to turn the flow rate down if the fish are buffeted by the current. After that time you can disconnect the old filter, knowing that this will have given time for the filter bacteria to colonise the media in the new filter. This is a functional item and is not suitable or intended as a child's Toys Ensure it is positioned out of reach of young children I know it’s best to use the old tank water, but do I put the fish in the tank with the new filter and old water — or would the new filter still struggle to cope? It’s not normally necessary, but if you want to clean the tank you can carefully tip your Aqua Dragons (and their water) into another clean container while you rinse out their tank. Only use water and a clean cloth or brush to clean the tank, don’t use any chemicals or detergent, because that could harm your Aqua Dragons.

If you follow the instructions carefully, you should see some tiny white Aqua Dragons swimming within 48-72 hours of adding the sachet to your tank. With a magnifying glass, you may be able to see some signs of life as early as 24 hours after setting up your tank. Actually, that’s not a tail….it’s poo! Sometimes it forms a string and stays attached to the Aqua Dragon for a while before eventually dropping off. It’s perfectly normal and doesn’t do the Aqua Dragon any harm. Don’t use garden pebbles as many won’t be lime-free. They’ll mess with water chemistry, and seams can leach metals like copper that are lethal to fish and shrimps.Why not take out a subscription to Practical Fishkeeping magazine?

When you feed the Aqua Dragons, don’t use more than one level spoonful of food - and always use the special tiny spoon that comes with your Aqua Dragons kit. If on a particularly tight budget, try untreated bamboo from a garden centre. You can silicone this onto glass or slate to prevent it floating and then bury the glass or slate under the substrate. Can I do this using ordinary twigs and pebbles from the garden, and, if so, how would I clean them before use? If there is food still floating in the water (the water is cloudy) then they don’t need to be fed. If the water looks quite clear and the aqua dragons are looking for food in the sediment formed on the bottom of the tank, then it’s time to feed them. Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store.
