If your going to pick up a Wii their are two games that I advise as "must buys" - Mario Strikers & Excite Truck. Both fantastic games for either just pick up and play gaming, or for some long gaming sessions. The added bonus of Mario Strikers is that it's the currently only Wii game in the UK...

Im in the UK, and my tap water barely has any nitrates in it - only just registers with the master test kit. Maybe thats why I find it quiet easy to keep my tanks reading under 10 :good:

I was waiting until I move before I even thought about converting the tank to marine, as this would be the ideal oppertunity to move the current tank inhabitants around during the move. I know a marine is a quiet expensive setup to start on, but I'm getting a rough outlook at what equip I will...

Hi Guys, Even though I am fairly new to these forums, I have been keeping fish for a few years and the MTS has definately kicked in with me recieving my 5th tank this week :hyper: . However, I have caught the bug which has found me in these parts of the forums where things start to get alot...

Pets @ Home - Darlington Variety- 7. A fairly good selection, but nothing really away from the ordinary tropical/coldwater fish Quality- 5. Was fairly good when they upgraded their tanks/displays, but has gone downhill since - found fish to be very fragile, often dying within a few days. Got...

Update: Got home today (after a quick call in to the LFS on the way home to get some meds) saw him hiding in the corner not doing much in particular. Have moved him to a smaller Q tank (was a right pain catching him - seemed alot more active once a net was introduced). Added some Interpet no...

Hi Guys Got home tonight, and saw one of my fish has a strange red growth on his tail. He seems to be swimming around as normal, and all the other fish in the tank look fine. All stats check out as normal (Amm 0, Nitri 0, Nitra 10 ish), was wondering if he's mayb cut himself on...

Hi Am looking to setup a small quarantine/fry tank (probably around 40/50l orso). As this tank won't be in use all of the time, I was wondering how best to keep the filter medium mature. The way I see it is - if their isnt anything in the tank to produce the waste - what does the bacteria...

Hi Guys, I'm getting a little worried about my Clown Plec. He is a very timid little fish, and has made his home in one of the lower caves of a largish ornament at the back of the tank. He very rarely ventures out of his little cave when the lights are on, and if he ever does will quickly...

Ive used the clove oil method to send the fish off to sleep, then followed by a 25%(ish) dose of vodka. Although this took about 30 mins orso for the fish's gills to stop it seemed the method that was preferable to me (cant imagine cutting off the head - knowing me i'd miss :blush: ) and the...

Hi, Dory is a Regal Tang (Paracanthurus hepatus) Clicky Hope that helps :)

I have 3 :good: A 300 Litre tropical community, a 96 Litre Betta community and a 60 Litre shrimp tank. Looking at getting a smaller 4th to use as a quarantine/fry tank, just need the space to put it :unsure:

I dont have any clown loaches :unsure: . I only have a clown plec who lives in the back ornament, who only wanders out when the lights are off, or to investigate food that lands near his home. I have two decent sized bits of bogwood with plants happily growing on them :)

I was hoping to get my tetra numbers up, I did have about 14 Cardinals, but lost a few of them with a few probs with my internal filter (reason why i got the Eheim). My substrate is just a simple gravel, was hoping to get some fert based and possibly sand ontop, but cant bear the work with...
