I would recommend this one.

You need to keep your filter for a while as the fish gets better. The best way to clean all of this up, and simultaneously do water changes is with a gravel vacuum. I never had one of these for a good year then I got one it changed how I did everything with my fish. They cost about £7 where i’m...

Thank you for this info, this will become in an issue soon when I get my third tank which will be quick large so when I find out how many Watts I am using in total and figure out if it will work.

I will look into this. Thanks for the suggestion

Wow that’s quite something. Will it not over load a socket?

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I am running out space to plug the necessary things for my fish tanks in in my room. I have near enough ran out of plug sockets. Does anyone know any ways to get around this? Is it okay to have two adapters each with four sockets on coming out...

Thanks for the info, do you think a 75g is sufficient for a fahaka puffer? I may go with amazon puffers as they sound good, however I am not too bothered about having other fish with them.

Simple and amazing. :)

My water is quite soft, I can not get a direct quote on what it is but it is between 20ppm and 60ppm. I am thinking something exotic... something like a Target Puffer maybe, but I might change my mind as there are some good suggestions above. However, I am quite interested in puffer fish as I do...

As mentioned by @Byron there are also stocking issues. Barbs should be kept in a group of 10-12 at least and clown loaches also need to be in groups of 6 at least.

It’s my 16th birthday this year and my parents have agreed that I can get another fish tank. I want it to be large and to be the best of my three tanks, I haven’t decided wether I want saltwater or tropical yet. Size I was thinking about 55 gallons. I am looking for general advice on fish...

Looks to me like an injury. Do you have any aggressive fish in your tank, or any sharp decor?

Guess I will just keep the Betta alone, thanks for the heads up everyone.

Can we have a clearer picture, if possible?

I have a nerite with him, and some blue velvet shrimp along with some RCS.

I was curious what tank mates I can keep with my male Betta fish, in his 5 gallon tank. I have heard ADFs do good but I don’t like the idea of them if i’m honest. Are there any others which would do alright?

I’m not too sure but I do know one thing, do NOT use copper.

I noticed you said you were only 15 on your other post, I am also 15 and currently own multiple fish tanks which are doing perfectly. Personally I think marine tanks are extremely complicated and take A LOT of research to understand them. I have been researching and wanting to start a tank for...

Wow! Looks fantastic, but gruesome.

Do larger water changes of about 50% per week.

Welcome!

You could keep clownfish. You could try some gobies and I may be wrong but I think this tank is too small for any type of tang. Add some hermit crabs, a tuxedo urchin and some peppermint shrimp or other cleaner shrimp as your clean up crew. Maybe some snails. I’m also not sure about trigger fish...

Could you attach a picture?

I don’t play it anymore haha, I did about 7 years ago when i was like 8. Might try it out again.

Heres what my tank looks like now.

It is the look I’m going for. I am making a no filter tank so it is perfect, however I will remove some every so often.

I feed mine every day but a smaller portion, it doesn’t matter much really as long as he is fed a sufficient amount. If it’s only the second day I would recommend every other day because he will be hungrier and more likely to eat the food.

What an amazing fish!!

That is exactly what I do, I build colonies of different snails in my tanks.

I ordered some duck weed from ebay and I thought it would be rooted. However, they are just little floating leaves, I am probably stupid for thinking they wouldn’t be. Will these have the same effect as the rooted duck weed? It is being used for a no filter betta tank.

You could get lucky and get some very docile puffers though. I wouldn’t waste the time and money but of course if you want to experiment with it keep me updated.

There would be no harm in doing this, but I would just stick to your normal routine for the tank. Make sure water quality is perfect for the fish and when you introduce food in 3-4 days you should have no problems. Also these puffers need to grind their beak down so it is important that they...

I strongly suggest you rethink the idea of putting shrimp in with these puffers. When I got my puffers, I introduced 4 RCS into their tank and currently, two months later i have 1 left. They are ruthless little fish and will tear most things apart no matter how big or small. Despite amanos being...

Yep! I used to play this back in 2012.

When you first buy puffers, always wait 3-4 days before feeding them for the first time. The fish will be used to eating live food and to move them to frozen food you need to make sure they are very hungry. If you leave it 3-4 days then feed it for the first time it will be very hungry and will...

I might just remove the rocks completely and replace them with drift wood.

Possibly soon, but remove her from the breeder box as she does not look as heavily pregnant as a fish would be a day before they give birth. If you can avoid the breeder box then do it because it will stress the fish out and she is not likely to eat her own fry unless you have any other fish...

I was doing a water change today and was observing my betta and I noticed that he has 3 or 4 lifted scales. He appears to be all fine apart from this one issue, it is not severe but it has concerned me. I do have some rocks in the tank which could be the cause as they are quite large and take...
