Yes that’s the one and it has a dedicated team for the fish in general. Well recommended from us ?

I can report that our all natural tank has had its first casualty ? the wife in her wisdom bought 5 mollies and one nosedived last night for some reason as no signs of sickness or stress. All other fish growing well as are plants and tank in general is maturing nicely. On a side note the free...

Ok here goes.... Kribensis is Sid vicious Bristle nose is percy Leopard cory’s are the masons Fire barbs are London’s burning Black and white mollies are the dominoes The neon tetras are ELO The yoyo Loaches are the chuckle brothers and my fave tbh as they are just so fun to watch.

In reality I feel it is possible to run a tank without using chemicals or having to do weekly water changes. It is purely a question of finding the correct balance between fish and plants......too many fish and associated feeding no matter how good the filtration is ammonia will go up and up. So...

The kribensis I got with that free tank I was after a female for it and showed a pic to guy runs the aquatics centre in warminster and as I was a bit concerned about the cloudy eyes still I decided to see if I could isolate and treat him in new tank upstairs. He checked pic and said oh wow he’s...

Hi and welcome....so do you prefer bottom feeders in general or was that just how your tank ended up?

Yes of course, wife just doesn’t know it yet ?. One thing I have learnt in my age is don’t battle when you can convince mrs she was correct in thinking that we need sand for the fish and of course plants to thrive.

Boooom Mrs came back with a load of diff plants and 4 leopard cory’s.......ok so her logic was these pygmy fish will be offset by the additional 8-9 plants she bought. Also some live water fleas to get them a bit active.......searching for grub

Been busy doing site visits and quotes so not been on too much, so quick update. 1. New filter (fluval u4) arrived and installed I ran this for 24hrs next to existing filter to help new filter start its biological side. 2. Basic tank maintenance done as in removing debris and glass cleaned, also...

Aha.......ok my bad thanks for pointing this out will just scrub clean next time and chuck it back in

Ok this did make me chuckle a bit as I’m 56 Colin and I do a heck of a lot more than you say for osteoporosis tbh. My body struggles to produce vit D or take it on same as vit C. So the only drug available on NHS is the alendronic acid and it’s via a tab weekly or monthly or infusion. Problem...

3 am sat watching sky news Phoenix.....? 4.5 hrs sleep was good so Time to shut up and put up always someone worse off.....

Yep I use the 30% stuff, taste like thelubrication from a knitting machine tracks.

Mrs J I quit smoking after 42 yrs and never touched weed tbh medical or otherwise.....it’s just not me. I am glad your mother is doing well though.....how awesome.

Yeah I have read before and just scrubbed again now

Been a few bad weeks and I’m not having a rant just because I want to and I feel I have the right too!!!!!! I have been fighting the medical profession to try to get my health back and feel good again, whereby I’m not being a moaning old fart..... Five odd years ago I smashed my hip in a very...

My original bit I got from local aquatics shop keeps going white and slimey now, I have just poured boiled water on it again and scrubbed and back in tank.....apparently it’s a common event for new wood for tank

I did consider buying online but I want to go see the fish I will be having in situ & not via a web page with descriptions that sometimes do match what they deliver many times dont lol. I have a thermal bag I use for my fish and I can prob put 3 sep bags in and keep them secure and warm. So its...

Mrs says yes it’s a fantail, I don’t have a clue ?

MOHO= Motor Home I have a Bailey 765 we spend or did spend plenty of time touring south west Uber (lockdown has kept us home)

CL a cat owns you...as I am sure you are aware and you cannot pre judge what they will or may do lol

Wessex water still use chlorine not chloromine so I will leave as is....I spent 35 yrs dealing with Severn’s Trent and their lies about leaks blowouts and trying to force customers to install meters. On top of being natural the new filter will be delivered next week and I can then cycle this one...

Lights go on with me in morning 6am and off in evening 8pm at present. Once lighter evenings get here will drop lights a fair bit and let it be natural a tad more. I’m looking at your star trek app thing with graphs lines beeps whistles and not a clue lol

Hey David, we also have two cate that ritually destroy any mats by front door or back patio doors. This is what I use on the cats to extent when I go to bed I leave it on floor by mats and they keep clear. .

No chemicals at all unless a fish is sick or tank needs medicating. Chlorine is natural and will evaporate from the bucket if left over night. I am from the age where undergravel filters were king and the cultured bacteria in the gravel cleaned water and it’s associated ammonia nitrates...

Ok that is more like the fortress of borromir father in Gondor.....not sure I’d have it in a tank as is....when the flora grows more it will add to the ambiance so keep me posted sir

I had to think about your comment Phoenix and unfortunately society has bred too many people that try to live of misery and sympathy. They are horrible people for sure but also sick I guess for having no decency to even think that how they act is wrong in life. A young girl died in a car...

Thanks Charlee I own a small gate railing business in Wiltshire so this is also my gaming name on clash of clans. Jenny can be great and downs kids in general are very loving kids. However a 19 year old with metal age of 9-10 and hormones of a 19year old is a confirmed pain in the ar*e!! Love...

Hi Uber, no it’s mostly purchased some we got free. Once lockdown is over and we get back out in moho we will be looking out for driftwood we can utilise though

Now Viking I look at your tank and I see pillars of a sunken city and the plant pots as old urns scattered about. I really need to stop watching lord of the rings films......lurve it

Try it in tank I’d suggest to see what looks better or is more functional for the look you are after.....

Jonny what your wife is doing is nothing less than heroic tbh....i and the rest of the uk owe her a massive thank you for being her

Heck knows.....it works it doesn’t work, addons ins....way over my head sir

Ok so your not going to play......fork in broccoli tree ugh ok maybe next time

Compared to many I see on news I have no right to grumble about anything tbh, I’m waiting for a new hip and ok yes it hurts but away from covid......people I know have died while waiting for cancer treatment. Nothing aimed at NHS they are miracle saints in my book. It’s maybe just gone as it...

If it was worm infestation is there a cure for it and what signs would or could be seen? Never heard of this in a tank fish only wild natural fish

Thanks MC I am for my sins an ex sales manager sooooo I’m naturally verbal I guess. We didn’t know what kind of a tank we wanted when we got it.......weird eh lol. So it has now appeared to be going down the route of an underwater Amazonian river (fish from Pakistan) they don’t mind as its multi...

Now I do love a challenge so this was sent to me for naming but heck I can’t find what it is.......look close
