    Feeding

    I have a similar amount of stock and if you read on most food packs it says to feed 2 to three times a day as much as your fish will eat in few minutes. I find it is best to feed a little flake an hour or so after lights on and then a little flake and an extra treat of either tubifex, live food...

    Jake's 66l Tank

    Nice tank, as others have said cory cats are good. I have two bronze and two peppered along with two clown loaches who keep the snails at bay. The only thing to watch in a community tank is what I have done, it is too easy to keep going to your fish shop and saying " i like that " and getting...

    This Person Should Not Keep Fish...

    I agree, if these were cats or dogs they would have been reported and banned from keeping them. I suppose there may still be hope for them as they do look in good health (at the moment)

    Sand Vs Gravel (posts Appreciated)

    I use sand as I like bottom dwellers and have read that they can damage their barbles if coarse gravel is used. the sand does look nice and the plants do root better, but I have to agree that cleaning it can be a fiddle.

    Hello Guys
