I have only moved 50 miles away from my previous home - Annoyingly I shared a test kit at home so I don't have one at the moment (hence why I took it to the local aquarist) - they used liquid testing kit, I don't like to use strips. Won't such a large water change send the levels in the tank...

Hi There, I have had 9 tigers barbs, 5 platys, and 6 assorted corydoras for 12 months now in my 125 litre tank. I recently moved house - 2 weeks ago today. I made sure I took a day out to move the tank - decanted half of the water, bagged up all bog wood, filter pads etc so they wouldn't dry...

Hi, I currently have 10 tiger barbs (green and original) and am hoping to get another 5 barbs. I thought I wanted Rosey barbs, however I am looking to keep some consistency in the shape of fish (the plump diamond shape tigers will become). I see black ruby barbs are of a similar shape - anyone...

Hi, I would like some suggestions please - In a 125L tank with 15 tiger barbs & 6 corydoras, I would like a 'feature fish' - something that would swim all around the tank. I would like 1, maybe 2 fish that would match the rest of the fish. I like the look of loaches as they will eat snails...

Ok, time to be more specific. Mum just told me that shes got 'hi lite nature' & 'hi lite day' but thats not strictly true to what it says on the bulb itself. Heres exactly what they say : Rekord 800 : Day Lite 18W / Warm Lite 18W Lido 120 : Hi-Lite Day 24W / Hi-Lite Nature 24W Do Juwel do a...

Just to add - I just went to check, and the new Lido 120 has the same lights - High-Lite Nature & Day.

Hi, I purchased a Juwel Rekord 800 back in June 2010 and recently I purchased a new Lido 120, a couple of months ago. Now that the Lido is set up with the plants/bog wood, it seems incredibly lighter than the Rekord 800. I know the rekord is fitted with 'High-Lite Day' & 'High-Lite Nature'...

When I go into my local tropical fish stockists or look on their websites, I see fish that are wild caught. Some of the corydoras for example. Does this affect their 'hardiness'? Will they survive in the same way as other fish?

:good:

:good: Thanks for the advice!

120L - Its a juwel lido 120.

I was wondering if I can put Rosy Barbs in with Normal & Green Tiger Barbs? I want 3 types of barb, however I am not hugely keen on getting Albino Tiger Barbs. I think the Rosy's look better. I've read they can go together, but are they at risk of bullying? Thanks. :rolleyes:

No problem! I've got the advice I need :blush:

Oh yeah I just saw your topic post... sounds good to me.

Can I get different types of Corys? Will they still group together? I'm a fan of Panda's but maybe with 6 it would be nice to have others too?

Great, a simple straight up answer. Decision made!! Thank you. x

Hi, I am in the process of setting up my 120l tank - I'm having a tank of tiger barbs (original, green & albino) - however I really want to get my two favourite fish: 4 Corys & 1 red tailed black shark. I understand they are both labelled as bottom feeders... does this mean they can't live...

Thanks for the advice. I never thought about Rams, sounds like a good idea. Perhaps Cherry Barbs, Corys and a few Rams would work. What about any type of tetras? Can they hold their own? (!)

Awesome. Which barbs would you suggest I have - and how many? Any suggestion for what other type of fish ideally to have in there?

Great thanks - would 64 L be too small for that many Corys?

Hi, I have been saving up for a while with the intention of setting up my own tropical tank. My family already has a 125L tank set-up, however I want one of my own and I am truly a beginner at this so I'm looking for advice! I am intending on purchasing a 64 Litres / 14 Gallons with plenty of...
