They may be appearing in my tank! I swear I only bought 10 fish from the store a couple of months ago, and then after a week I could only ever count 6 or 7 of them. Then I found a dead body and assumed the rest had died as well. Then the rest turned up again and was back up to 9 Then another...

Might be a silly question, but have you checked the temperate is right? My fish all used to swim to the surface regularily, until i lowered the temp a bit and now they are all fine

Not very long! haha

Glass Bloodfin Tetra.......erm...and thats it so far!

After the first tank went so well, I am thinking I need a complete redesign, and rather than upset my glass bloodfin tetra schoal that is in there now I may start again on another tank. Obviously knowing more now than what I did 4/5 months ago I am looking at the following, and need some help...

Should have done it as a poll, would do all the hard work for him in this case!

I decide what I want as the central point in my tank first, and then work backwards. What other ornaments will go with the central theme. Then decide what sort of fish I want to determine the number of plants to go in. Once I know the rough number of plants I want, i decide on ones that will...

Quite like the first one if its tidied up a bit

Its got a really good lid, but there is a gaping hole at the back. Make sure you put the plastic cover across the tank top under the lid(Took me ages to realise that this was in the box, thought it was just packaging

I have one in a third floor flat in an old building, still looking good.

So I have a tank with 10 Glass Bloodfin Tetra in (See through fish are the new colourful fish!) But being new to all this, I have no idea how much to feed them. The directions on the side of the feeding box are rubbish...'a few flakes per fish. Doesnt take into account size of fish, and the...

The 30 (120lt) Gallon tank he recomends only has 18 fish The 40 (150lt) gallon tank is the one with 30 fish, but the extra 12 are schoals of tetra, its more about the room for them to swim in and the opportunity for them to move around than a hard and fast 1 fish per x Instead of a larger tank...

You have had no losses for 9 months, but you did have losses before that, as thats how you got down to odd numbers of tetras... So counting fish losses as a means of measuring happiness of fish isnt the greatest. As then you won't know you have a problem till AFTER the next lot starts dieing...

Come on the 30-40 year olds! Only one more vote to catch up! Wait, what do you mean its not a competition?!

Its a 64L tank, H 37 x W 60 x D 32 cm. Still cycling at the moment so a ways off yet. Is it easy to tell the difference between males and females (just in case the fish shop people don't have a clue)

I'm looking to get some Endlers in my tank, got a couple of questions. Best kept in pairs? Im not interested in breeding them, so is it best ot have two females or two males? Or is it ok to just put a mixed pair in? Also, what are thier compatibility with the Siamese Fighters? Thanks

I think I have travelled to them all recently. I did like the look of the fish in AA, but of course had no idea at the time what I was looking for. There is a Maidenhead Aquatics at the Garden centre on Laleham road that doesn't look too bad. I went to World of Water, and they had a fish there...

But nothing can fit quickier than a kwik fit fitter! Ok, I'll get me coat.

Yes, but then I wouldnt take my car to a mechanic in a supermarket style who has had little to no training and certainly none specialising in brakes... I'm not debating that they have a duty of care and should be better, they definately should be!!! I'm just suprised people think that a large...

Why do people think that people working at Pets at Home are experts? Or even know what they are talking about. This always bemuses me A quick look at the Pets@Home careers section: ------------ Skills required; You will have previous experience, or an appreciation, of delivering excellent...

Things in shops are generally 20% more I would say, especially for non-generic items like fish keeping equipment and especially for large items because they take so much storage its hard to keep them in bulk Me too! There are masses of shops round here (including the worst ever Pets@Home in...

Coming at this from a beginner point of view: Putting a line gap between the paragraphs makes it an easier read and makes it look less like a daunting wall of text. The explanation of why should come under the first heading, as its a 'What is it' description rather than a 'How to' Are you...

Hmm, interesting. Was going to get some Danilos for my 64l tank as well, probably change my mind now!

It's simple. If your fish are witches, then they float

It usually doesnt take long to see he isn't a troll though, do a quick google search for the djchivz + fish and you get results where he has talked about fish before. Little bit of research before calling people trolls goes a long way. I would definately get rid of the bamboo and then start...

You own a flat.....yet you were downstairs watching TV?

Excellent, cheers

Hi guys, Im setting up a plantless aquarium, and while I have lights built into the hood, am I right in thinking that I only really need them on to see the Fish better, or is there some sort of photosynthesis process I am forgetting about? Ta

Thanks, No questions as of yet, as not a lot to do at the moment except change water and do water quality testing! There is seemingly hundreds of aquatic centres round my way (Surrey) so plenty (Too many) of fish to choose from while I wait!

Evening All, So, I got given a 64l aquarium over Christmas as I had always wanted fish. After about 3 days reading pretty much everything I have now set it up and its currently cycling (yaaawn, hehe) Not sure what fish I am aiming for yet, eventually aiming for some pretty colourful stuff but...
