    First time for me. Fish by post.

    Sorry for the delay, struggling to get many decent photos but I've attached a few for your perusal. The tank pH is 7.42 but I've no idea on the GH. I have looked on the water suppliers website and can only find total hardness, is this the same?

    The tank is 122 cm long 30 wide and 38 deep, on the tank calculator at the bottom of the page it says its 139 litres. The rasboras seem to stick together more than any of the rainbows who all are exploring the tank on their own. From what's been said I assume this behaviour may be due to them...

    Thanks for the info. I got them from aquaticstoyourdoor.co.uk. They're based near Gatwick Airport and are open for collection if anyone lives locally.

    First time for me. Fish by post.

    My 150 ltr tank was looking bare before our first lockdown. I've worked all the time but didn't want to risk any shops and it's a bit of a journey to the best shop. I decided to order online from Aquatics to your door, this was based on descent reviews online and a couple of my sons friends...

    Snail advice please

    I'm thinking of getting a few cool looking snails to keep my tank happier. I've attached a picture of my only real plant because I don't know what it is and I don't want the snails to think of it as lunch. It sends out a long root and a new plant comes from that. Any advice please.

    Hi all

    They are described as juvenile and they give a rough size so I'll see how they match up. Also I think it's going to be fun watching them mature. I'm lucky I don't have any larger fish at the moment so no worries of the newbies being eaten. I don't have a quarantine tank either so fish can't be...

    Hi all

    Thanks Circus, the postage was £22.95 which is expensive but as long as the fish are healthy and cared for on the journey I'm happy. I'm long enough in the tooth now to realise you get what you pay for (mostly). The main reason I've gone for the Internet to find fish is the sad closure of...

    Hi all

    That was just how it ended up, I like a variety normally as long as they're friendly and colourful. I'll keep you posted on the delivery on Friday. I've ordered from aquatics to your door based near Gatwick. This was on the recommendation of a couple of my sons friends and mostly positive...

    Hi all

    Been keeping tropical fish for about 25 years now. Never too old to learn. My 4ft tank was getting sparsely populated before lockdown last year. Currently have 1 very old kuhli loach, 3 brown loaches, a yellow bristle nose and a single glow light. I've just taken the plunge and ordered my first...
