Love this Lemon Tetra :) '][/URL]

I recently purchased a 56 litre (12 gallon) tank and after definitely deciding I would like a small school of pygmy corys as bottom dwellers I would like advice on which would be the best tetras for my main shoal. I have been thinking Black Neon Tetras with some Neons or Flames? I obviously...

OK thanks Byron :good:

Would Cochu's Blue Tetra be a good choice? '][/URL]

This is another thing I'm worried about - breeding. What do I do with lots of little baby fish if I don't want them?

Just bought these :good:

Just watched this video and saw the two Tetras together and they look great! Of course I will have much smaller numbers

Hmmm hadn't thought about that. I've been advised to stick to one shoaling species instead of two. Have kind of fallen for the Black Neons though. Would 5 or 6 very small Neon Tetras or Flame Tetras be alright with a school of 5 or 6 Black Neons?

Thanks essjay! Definitely not getting the fish yet and I have a bottle of ammonia. I asked them if they had any dwarf corys but they said no. Don't know if that means they don't do them full stop or they just don't have them in yet.

'] [/URL] The Tetras are at the store getting acclimatised and aren't ready yet but couldn't help taking a quick photo. They look lovely don't they? :rolleyes: '] Have fallen in love with these Smudge Spot Corys too :oops:[/URL]

Here's a link the one I have is the bottom one the maxi https://www.fishkeeperscotland.co.uk/news/aquatropic-mini-midi-maxi I opened the lid and the water is smelling a bit like mown grass. Is this good or bad?

Fluval Aqua Plus water conditioner is the one I used.

Oh sugar I forgot about copper. How do I get rid of that?

:flex:I was using the kettle :oops:

That photo was taken not long after I filled it and was told it'll take a couple of days to clear. It's actually a lot clearer this morning. Yes I cleaned the sand beforehand. Yes it's upstairs and 25 trips up and down 13 steps filling it was a bit of a task but this is where the tank has to go...

'][/URL] Here it is. Filter back left, heater back right (already set to 25 degrees) little thermometer on left side, sand for the cories, a piece of bogwood and a stone and some plants. Yes I'm thinking one school of Black Neon Tetra will be enough along with 4-5 corys. The Tetras at the store...

It is an Aquatropic 56 litre I think off the top of my head. So not the big one I had bookmarked. They had it on offer for £67.99 including the filter and LED light and as my Mum liked it and she was buying it she said it was big enough and it is. Have put some plants in and a piece of bogwood...

'] So I went up to Dobbies today and took a bottle of water with me and they kindly did a test for me but it was in an app form. Can someone help decipher it for me? Oh and I got a tank :D[/URL]

So I could have Black Neons and Emperors together or Rasboras and Emperors together?

Hi there. Here's the chest of drawers the tank is going on. My bedroom is part of an extension to the house and up a spiral staircase so there are sloping ceilings on each side. I can still get a good size tank though. Enough for my needs anyway. I've decided I would like black neon tetras...

I found this tank which is about the exact size I need and larger than the previous one https://www.completeaquatics.co.uk/aquael-leddy-80?gclid=Cj0KCQiAkfriBRD1ARIsAASKsQLQn4IBs-HZvclvEm8p5GZbjtXAfZVfXcys02eV-jDrwTo9D2e3qCwaAiNJEALw_wcB

Just checked the table and my area is Clatto East and the number on the German column is 2.05

Hi the measurements on the photo of the tank box say 60x30x30 but in the description it says 62x 37x33 so not 100% sure which is correct. I'm sure Tetra is an American company? ????

Thank you so much! I have decided I will see if my store has Black Neon Tetras, Harlequin Rasboras and Salt and Pepper Corys. I will of course do water tests and PH tests before I definitely get fish. Sorting out the tank and doing cycles is my first priority. Will keep you updated x

Hi Colin! I have set up a separate thread in the beginners section under 'Starting a Freshwater Tank and need advice' I don't have the tank yet but I have one in mind which is 54 litres and my measurements can't exceed 70cm length, 35cm height and 30cm depth. I know I definitely would like a...

Hi essjay and thanks for the reply! Yes please keep me right! I know I definitely want a small group of Corys I went up to Dobbies on Wednesday to have a nosey at what they had available and saw a few different kinds and fell in love with them! They were only about an inch or inch and a half in...

Hi everyone! I'm getting a fish tank for my birthday at the end of March and would like to keep some freshwater species maybe a mix of 2 or 3 kinds? Thinking maybe a group of 5 or more danios, 5 or more tetras or platies and 2 or 3 little Corydoras. I don't want goldfish. I will be putting my...
