Oh Okay. I've noticed one of the cory's chasing the black phantom's a few times, is that normal? I have fallen in love with the black phantoms, perhaps in my next tank I shall get a big group of them.

I have a 64 litre tank with: 5 Black Phantom Tetras 5 Glow Light Tetras 3 Male Guppies 2 Bolivian Rams 2 Peppered Corydora I am hoping to sell the Guppies but wondered if I have any more room for either some more Black Phantoms or some Neons?

I thought about possibly some tiger barbs, but I'm not sure what I can get away with in a 64 litre.

My tank is still cycling but I am considering what type of fish to have. Mine is a 64 litre, is it too small for a semi-aggressive community?

Following on from my previous post, the remaining 8 plants are beginning to go black and some leaves appear as though they are being eaten but there are no fish in the tank. Also, there is a whitish substance/mist across part of floor of the aquarium. Incidentally, I purchased the plants from...

possibly, I hope not! Does that mean I have to clean everything out completely? I just rinsed the ornament that I have in there as I may not have done so properly before putting it in the tank the first time.

Thank you both for your responses. It had not occurred to me to question the competence of staff member at Pets at Home, but you are right. He used the API test kit. I have no idea how ammonia is present in the tank, other than, could it be decomposing plants? I have just removed 2 plants that...

I have an Interpet Fishbox 60 (64 litres) and I set it up and stocked it well with plants 4 days ago. I have added Filter Start and Nutrafin as recommended to me. After taking a water sample my local pets at home today I discovered that ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels are extremely high, is...

Okay, will do, thanks

I have a 120 litre Interpet Fishbox. I had to re-think my prospective community so here is what I am now hoping for, let me know if any aren't compatible or if it's over stocking: 2 x Angelfish 2 x Bolivian Rams 2 x Dwarf Gourami 1 x Borneo Sucker Loach Some Tetras maybe Rummynose?

It does Neon, thanks. Thanks Electro and Wend too. I will remove the bog wood and soak it for a couple of weeks accompanied by a large water change.

Sorry to raise this issue again, perhaps it's my impatience. I set up my tank at 10am yesterday with aquarium sand which was rigorously rinsed, along with the ornaments (wood and rock), added tapsafe and filter start. There has been absolutely no improvement in the cloudyness of the water which...

Hello all, I set up my tank today with sand, purchased at Pets at Home (U.K). I rinsed the sand thoroughly as well as put my hands through it. I did this for almost an hour. After adding the water (over a plate) and leaving things to settle, first with the filter switched off, then after a few...

Thanks James, That's dissapointing :sad: as would've loved a couple of Discus. Nevermind, back to the drawing board then. Should Angel fish be avoided also?

Hello all, It is a while until I will be getting any fish but I have been thinking a great deal about the sort of community I would like. Ultimately I'd love to have a couple of Discus. Will the following be compatible and an acceptable amount for a 120 litre? 1 x Blue Diamond Discus 1 x...

Thank you Lolly and Waterdrop. It is certainly a great learning experience. I am now actually excited about the prospect of the fish-less cycle. I'm going for the 'Add and Wait' Method. I am going to start running the tank tomorrow, but wait a few days before I commence Operation: Cycle. Just a...

Yes, very. It's a shame they don't value the lives of fish. Even my husband used the words 'just stick a goldfish in there first'. I have now ordered all the necessary equipment. I am just trying to get my head around the exact process as my brain takes a while to compute :blink:

Thank you both for the clarification. I will proceed with the fish-less cycle once I have purchased the ammonia etc. I am also looking at the two guides you recommended Warehouse. Thanks

Hello, I am new to this hobby and have been doing a great deal of research in preparation. I can tell you that it is no easy task because I am constantly faced with contradictory advice. I am almost ready to set up my new tank and have decided I want to do a fish-less cycle. I have read on the...
