Hi all Ive just started a fish-less cycle of my biorb life 30 litre (the squre type). And thanks to the great advice of people within the forum i have finally decided on stocking a tank that suits myself and the fish in the tank. Im going for a halfmoon betta, 3 endler males and a couple of...

What about the bio-output that them angels give off Tizer? Could that stall the cycle?

Much appretiated Tizer, ill go searching for some. How glad am i that i joined this site. And JHR dont worrry about the wait, im quite enjoying my tank as it is fish-less, its giving me the time to do all the reaserch i need to get the fish that suit me and my tank.

Thanks Tizer. Ill look in to marimo moss balls now, ive never heard of them. Are they usually easy available at lfs?

Im not sure if this is allowed on site, so i apologise if it isnt but can anyone reccomend a good Betta supplier, either local to Yorkshire England or posts out across England.

I think the next step is to try find a Betta breeder in my local area, and go see what they have to offer. Are there any Mirco rasbora's that could live in a group of 3 in case i decide i prefer them to the endlers. Boraras Merah look very intresting!

Cheers for the advice guys, this is my tank above, its a biorb life 30 litre. It has a larger surface and substrate than a standard biorb, and as you can see i have found a nice solution to cover the filter media in case i decided to go for the Betta option. Im really torn as to which way to...

Im really not sure as yet, only 4 days in to my fish-less cycle. I like Guppy's with the variety of colours, although 9 gallon might be too small. I would get maybe 4 and somthing else like pigmy cory's, i know the tank doesn't lend itself brilliantly towards cory's as a whole but pigmy's spend...

Cheers PO they are just like polished black marbles, along with the polished black centre peice i think they sit well. I managed to pick them up online but only seen them in one place, i thought they would be more popular for biorb owners. They seem to be a no brainer to me. only £10 to cover...

Thanks FF

I got a Biorb life 30 Ltr bought as a present and thought the substrate could be a real problem, i did some searching and managed to find sometihng suitable to cover it as shown in the pic below. My tank is currently 4 days in to a fish-less cycle.

Thankyou and Thankyou TT JG

So a snail would live happily with shrimps? Do either need any addition to feeding apart from what they find in the tank? JG

Thankyou, i hope this link works http://s1145.photobucket.com/albums/o503/juniorgent/ What do you think?

It seems i my photo didnt upload, and im struggling to get it sent. Ill have another try. I can browse but it doesn't seem to want to upload.

Ive been bought a Biorb Life 30 litre (square type), im new to fish keeping too. Ive just started my Fish-less cycle 4 days ago. Ive decided on keeping 4 Guppy's in there and a couple of shrimp, wondering if there is a possibility to fit maybe 2 more fish in. but not sure if the size of tank...

Hi All A very newbie to this. I recieved a birob life for Christmas, im 4 days in to my fishless cycle now. I know its not the most desirable tank to most on here, but im happy with how my first tank looks considering the tank size im dealing with. Ive got a long way to go before i stock so...

Hi all Very new to this, ive got a biorb life 30ltr and have set it up ready to start my fishless cycle, ive tried using the calculator to help me work out how much ammonia i need to use but i cant seem to get an answer from it. If anyone could instruct me on how to get an answer or give me an...

Oh and Pablo, your entirely right about the biorb needing filter changes. And for the cost of the tank you would expect better advice on setting it up. As it suggests that you can add fish after one day of turning the filter on. Needless to say i doubted this and came on here for advice on cycling.

Thankyou very much for the advice, my next move is to design my tank with accessories and plants etc then run a fish-less cycle. I plan to cover the filter media with polished pebbles to protect my beta. Thanks for the tip around beta varieties, he will be the centre peice of my tank so i want...

Hi all Another newbie here. After having an interest in wanting fish for a while i got a Biorb Life 30ltr (square type) bought as a present. I just want to put out my ideas for stocking the tank to see what more expereinced keepers think. I want to start with a beta, (any ideas of variety would...
