ok good to know the tank im going for will have ember tetra and celestial pearl danios so i wanted to make sure they werent big fish hunter (or little as the case maybe) so there not at any risk whatsoever and although i wont have any floating plants the tnak will be incredibly heavily planted...

what platns are you getting and how much lighting do you have do you have c02 ferts etc jsut out of curiosity

so ive been given a new tank (my 4th) and one of the fish im considering are thai micro crabs and was jsut wondering do they tackle algae at all?

to be honest i have fallen for things at fish stores for me its alwyas plants labelled as easy and they say theyll grow in any conditions turns out cambomba might not be as immortal as they told me XD

my tank is 60cm(width) 30cm(depth) 35cm(height) i have 3cm of silver sand substrate i have a 15 watt t8 and 12 watts of led lighting (both 6000 to 7000k) i will be dosing neutro+ and neutro liquid carbon (how much should i dose i got 6ml and 1ml respectively from the recommended but just wanted...

ive found amazon frogbit does really well as long as you keep it still otherwise it just floats around the tank endlessly but i started with 3 pieces and now have a 60cm square section of the stuff ive heard that water lettuce dosent do so well in aquariums but i dont know myself to be perfectly...

such a true point i get annoyed a the assistants for it but really its the person in charge that has no knowledge of fishkeeping to be honest i have no idea why they sell a 20l acrylic box with no filter or equipment of any sort and then encourage you to buy a 20cm ornamental goldfish which are...

thank you im currently growing cress and msutard to go into fish food mixes from the feedback ive had it looks like ill be using more garlic ill definetely post some recipes if it goes well and i will be experimenting with new foods within reason (sorry angelfish no cheese and onion crisps for you)

something important ive learnt about fish keeping though is the can part although it is very important to listen tow warnings and account for them allot of things arent 100% guarantees just my two cents

ive tried telling my parents all that but they don't cave in and let me have but then again i prefer gelatine foods as they're more personalized than live foods and thank you for the advice

i would pass out from happiness if i found a guppy fry on my plants yet alone a syno how big is it btw all i ever seem to find are snails 

interesting ive heard about garlic ill try it next time and beef heart also as it seems meat components for homemade fish food are hard to find short of live food which my parents wouldnt like

hey guys long story short i couldn't get hold of live food or frozen (due to parental objections to it) food and so now i make gelatine fish food as a supplementary food and was wondering what i could add to this at the moment i make a omnivorous one (shrimp,peas and cucumber) and a veggie...

i dont know about a diagnosis or treatment but my tetra developed ths problem about 5 months ago it is healthy bright coloured and activea dn it appears to have dispersed a bit over time although it was a black phantom

any ou get us dimensions the type of filter what media what sort of décor your thinking of and what fish you like

i would say Amazon swords are also quite hardy not outright invincible but youll strugle to kill them unintentionally and they're impressive when they get big and also they're good as ammonia sponges

i agree with lilefishy i would recommend only taking 1 gourami the female would be better as she wouldn't be very hostile 

Java moss as well people have literally grown this outside of water it grows steadily in any light tank you people have thrown ti away and found it growing in their drain it grows on things so no roots it forms a lush green matt on anything you put it on hope this helps

yes they are made from lead lead si kinda weird it is only toxic in some forms it is only toxic when it comes into direct contact and it wont disintegrate or oxidise in water at any fast rate so you should be safe i don't know what they're made from now but alternatively you can tie the plant to...

if you mean a 100 percent land crab then i would search up the species and where it comes from and attempt to simulate its environment while evaluating the basic needs it would probably need e.g if its from the Amazon it will most likely like a dense jungle place with a small mount of freshwater...

well its good for judging on how may fish you can fit in but you need to understand every other factor to use it effectively activity preferd space compatibility on a more complex size the size they will most likely grow plants e.t.c or neon tetras would work 

it is possible that they are immature and so are not interested or capable of sex and so see each other as fish out to steal heir territory disputes just like any territorial disputes or is that the female(s) aren't receptive and so the male sees her as another enemy trying to steal her...

puffers are mainly a brackish and marine fish they are significant that they have a beak and so need a higher amount of calcium normally supplied in the form of crustaceans molluscs e.t.c. freshwater species include pea puffer grows to 3 cm red eye puffer grows to 6 cm and another one which i...

well you do a fish less cycle which is the most popular by far as the fish don't go through any harm but personally i like the fish in cycle which involves adding fish and then carefully watching the parameters and doing allot of water changes its oyur choice your fish but as a members signature...

i will say that snails is one of the most disputed matters in fish keeping as to whether snails are good over time from what ive seen more and more people believe they're good which i personally believe they eat algae are free and are interesting additions which add diversity and a new dimension...

you will get snails carried in with he plants every place i have bought or ordered them from i have got snails mostly bladders snails small quick breeding snails that will always survive but there quite cute and quite quick and develop a metallic coppery colour to their shells when they get full...

hey guys i was just wondering how to get a fair amount of java moss quickly i appreciate that it is quick growing but im just using as small portions to seed a huge piece (87*40 cm) that i will be suing as the background to my Amazon biotope since it will look better i hope the fish will...

ive got it in my 50 gallon amazon biotope and every week i cut it back but it provides good cover and some height to the tank and its the only plant that has that elodea densa/ cambomba look that is low light and thrives under all conditions

btw pets at home starter tanks if im correct contain no heater no filter no lights they are made out of plastic and are 15 litres in the nicest way possible you cant keep fish in that but i may be wrong btw goldfish need around 100 liters for 1 fish and 50 for each additional fish

its like a pyromaniacs dream

hmmmmmmmmm a Siamese algae eater would work perfectly not massively colourful but they are active and also double as the best algae eater around by the way i would recommend having 2 or 3 of those shoals as a group of 10 to 12 e.g 12 neon tetras 12 silver tip tetras and 12 bronze corydoras its...

hmm garden worms sounds interesting do you need to go through any form of sterilisation process before or is it just chop em up then straight into the tank

although we think of romance as a nice candle lit dinner fish think of a tannin filled tank fit with leaves bits of wood with a dinner constituted of insect larvae and finest quality flake

what sorts of foods can u feed them aside from the standard live foods and flakes e.t.c

if the cats have cover and are all in excess of 4 inches and will ll max out at about 6 then i guess they could b OK i don't know much about cichlids but i know that jags get big and are no exception to the rule of cichlids begin aggressive 

im replacing my filter in my 15 gallon for a moving bed i have the pump a bottle which will soon be empty my question is a)can i use pieces of sponge for the moving bed the filter currently in the tank consists of a sponge and nothing else my thinking was that this would allow me to move all the...

a substitute to guppy is endlers you could probably keep round 5 with the rest of the things in the tank

i agree i adore all bottom feeders but even the likes of bronse corydoras or khuli loaches aren't nearly as cheap as tiger barbs or neons considering they're just as common and the same sort of sizes i just don't understand why even the cheapest of bottom feeders will cost you upwards of 20 quid...

pm-feed fish  do head count Saturday do 10 percent water changes to all tanks once a month do 25 percent water changes to ll tanks and wash filters with the water
