flippin eck! if i'da seen that i would have got it straight off. i'd let mom see the empty tank until she saw i'd wasted my money and something should be kept in it. I don't think i could go to cornwall though :/

Hey, i seriously want an aquarium for reasons you all know but my mum won't let me have one. i have tried countless times to persuade her but to no avail. I am now trying to get a small tank that can accomodate simply a siamese betta or something. Seeing as mum can't know, it can't have electric...

probz gonna take the loaches back to the LFS due to amount of bad reviews there are over the web and in books, quite literally hundreds. The kit is a nitrite testing kit(NO2) n the yellow means it has bellow 0.3 mg/l. It isnt a test strip one, you put the water in n add drops of dif. solutions...

Hey, my rather smallish 13 gallon tank has two VERY hardy CHinese Sucking loaches, or whatever you like to call them. For ages now me n dad have been doing water changes every week with the test kit showing red each time. Got seriousely depressing after a while yet the loaches have managed to...

yeah, that's right. we go every week to test the water sample for it. the woman actually tested it twice to make sure it wasn't the container. .

Had problem with water and my 2 barbs died, so replaced water with tap + 'safe water'(increases good bacteria apparently) and the treatment that makes tap water safe. the two loaches are back in and zippin' around the place like mad?! b4 they were quite active but not like this, they never stop...

thanks a lot for the validating info. i am now a member and can access all forum areas, mucho gracias!!! :D Unfortunately the fish are dead, apparently because the water turned a dark red instead of yellow, and the employees had never seen it so red! @ least they had a new experience and it...

Hey, would have put this in emergencies but it wouldnt let me!!! My two barbs are acting very strangely, one is lying upside-down on the bottom, so i assume it has died. can any1 give suggestions to why? the other one is doing this also but before that it was spinning around, u no like the jets...

it's great getting advice from people like you! it's so useful!!! Thanks a lot for the advice on persuading mom to let me have fish but i have to do it without having fish in the first place. if she finds me with fish then she will almost definately make me go back and return it/them. :-(...
