Hey Wilder, I have checked the water and all is fine. He was bloated when I found him dead but not up to that. His barbels were fine. Looked normal. No red sores or streaking. No paler or darker and was acting fine so not listless or lethargic. Didn't notice that he was leaning to one side.Tank...

Hi All, Our Albino Cory died today. Just found him at the bottom of the tank. I was just admiring him today. We've had him the longest and I feel quite gutted. Had him about a year and he had grown quite big. About 3 inches. When I seen him today he seemed fine. Nothing has changed in the tank...

Hi all, We are setting up a 420 litre tank with T5 lights ( 1 natural 54 watt and one blue 54 watt). It's gonna be a showcase in our sitting room so we are gonna plant it heavily. My question is this. Do I need to inject CO2 with these lights to make the plants grow or should they survive...

I agree. they are much nicer in groups too.

please go fishlecc cyle. I did not do it at the start and am coming across issues now. 6months down the line.

gut instinct is that this would not work.

Sorry to hear you lost ur fish.

tropical for a beginner. marine is expensive.

any update on how ur getting on? D

Have you tested your tap water????????

Thanks Cowboy, Tank has been established since January. Never did a fishless cycle. Never even knew what that was back then.lol I'll keep doing the water changes and see what happens. I really can't understand why the PH is dropping so much. All I have in their is the fish with a large aquarium...

bump

mine does the job. D

any ideas????????????

Am i goig thru a 2nd cycle? My ammonia has been spiking for the last week and I'm now starting to get Nitrites showing on my tests. My ph is very unstable. Changing daily from 6.0(the lowest my test kit goes) to 6.6. I've been doing 15% w/c for the last 4 days. Will all this affect my fishies...

They are not messy in the least and I barely ever see mine. They're at the back of the tank. All three of them stuck together. I have no idea what they are doing.lol

Thanks Salty, As always you've come to my rescue.lol You're a fountain of knowledge. What are they doing when grouped together like this? D

I've heard that assasins will not breed in an aquarium setting.And if they do it's kind of a miracle.

I recently bought 3 assasinsnails to keep my pouch snail population under control but all they ever seem to do is group together and sort of stick to one another? I'm not sure if they're actually eating the pouch snails and just grouping together to digest or whether they're unwell. Please help...

That's unusual. I've seen these in most LFS's

This looks amazing. What is the large plant in the centre called. Me likes........ D

Best to clean it every couple of weeks. if it's covered in algae it won't work to it's optimum. I've heard it's a good idea to have a smaller, 2nd filter in there too so you can alternate between cleaning one every week and it ensures you're not doing too much damage to the tank by disturbing...

I usually just rinse the filter media, (sponges) in tank water and put them back in place. I wouldn't mess around in there too much cos that's where the bulk of your friendly bacteria resides. Hope this helps, D

I really like this. Well done.

stick some albino cory in there with some neon tertas. You have the space so I'd put inaout 12 tertas and about 3 cory mixed with alinos in there as they're my favourite.

Looks well bing bing.

Cool. Thanks a million.

Any advise on the best way to clean out my filter without doing too much damage to the good bacteria in there?

You can see it on the fish as this is multiple bacteia grouped together. You would never be able to one solo.

Looks good. Is it cycled?

think ur right with kenyi.

What about some more corys? I love the albino cory. They're so easy to keep and cheap too so sounds like they would be perfect for you.

Any more comments on this?

Yes.lol

That sounds like the bargain of the century. D

The owner of my LFS recently told me that, provided I had an adequate filer system, I could stock my tank with lots of fish. Within reason i guess.

Really? That is so cool. Never thought of it that way.

Hope they're not dyed. That would be terrible.

I agree Curiosity101. My gourami seemfine but the tetra seem to go a it balistic.lol

Good work. D
