Hi, Thanks for waiting for me!! Could I take 2 for £1.50?? Thanks, Elise

Also interested :)

Wanted: Any sort of mesh For a moss wall Thanks

Hi, Long story short, I recieved some Cherry Shrimp today thinking that they would be a big enough size for my community tank. Unfortunately when they arrived, they were tiny! My stock in my 60L tank is: 1 Dwarf Gourami 4 Cherry Barbs. I have half cycled a sponge filter. I added the amount of...

Do you still have the test tubes?

Do you have any smaller bits that you would sell cheap? Maybe broken bits?

It was meant for someone with a quarantine tank..

I have some fish that I need to re-home for free. My tank got wiped out from whitespot and I am going away tomorrow and do not want to come back to a tank of dead fish? I have: 4 Cherry Barbs 1 Dwarf Gourami If anyone can help it would be great :(

As a simple answer.. No. Goldfish are Coldwater fish. Guppies ae Tropica fish (they need a heater).

Congratulations on the baby! Sorry I cant help :good:

Thanks, Not to worry now, I have found some :) Thanks anyway. Thanks, Not to worry now, I have found some :) Thanks anyway.

Hi, From what I know the carbon sponge removes medication from the water... So if you put the snail treatment in with the carbon still in there, it may not work properly.

I got mine from ebay (http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1311&_nkw=api+freshwater+master+test+kit&_sacat=See-All-Categories) These are one of the most accurate out there :good:

Just to let you know, I will be ordering my shrimp on the 20th August as my tank is now cycled :good:

No problem :good: Any questions about that or anything else just ask :)

I take it that your book doesn't teach you the fishless cycle then? Have a read of this http://www.ehow.com/how_2166427_do-fishless-cycle.html I know it isn't the one from the forum but sometimes for beginners (especially people like me :rolleyes: ) a step by step guide is easier to digest...

I too will be letting nature take its course :lol: Once the tanks are up and running, it will be nice to have someone at the same stage as me :) Also, how ironic that we are both called Elise :fun: Good luck with yours too and looking forward to sharing tips :good:

Oh thats brill. Thanks for the information :good:

A good way to scrub it is with a nail brush :)

Hi thanks, I think i'l leave it until after I get back from my holidays :hyper: Thanks

Photo 6 how much please? I am in Lewes so maybe we could work something out?

So even though they will be in a tank on their own, could I still feed them Nutrafin Tropical Flakes??

If you have friends/family that you can trust do dose with ammonia (the right amount) then by all means go ahead :nod: Oh and the cycle will stall if you overdose the ammonia.

I have heard people drop fish flakes in every so often? Maybe you could get a neighbour or a friend to come round every couple of days to do it? Only problem is, is that it is not that accurate... But some people have had successes with it as that was the way most people used to cycle their tanks.

Any more??? Or am I too late :unsure:

Wow. What food do you feed them? Also what is your water change routine?

Oh ok thanks :good:

Hi guys, I have decided against a Betta tank (for the moment :rolleyes:) and have decided to opt for a Cherry Shrimp tank instead. If anyone has any bits of moss that my shrimp will like, either PM me or post down there :good: I'm not wanting much just a scattering if you have any spare. I...

Yes I am wanting to breed them :) I have a sponge filter and an air pump. How fast does the 'flow' have to be coming out??

Hi guys, Some of you may have seen my post about starting a betta tank with my 28L. I have decided against it... too much conflicting information. So now I will set up my tank downstairs (filter still on) and house some Cherry Shrimps :) What I wanted to know is... How many Cherry Shrimp should...

Thanks for the replies :) I have taken on board what you have said and I really appreciate you advice . Thanks very much :good:

Its about 35 cm width. I didn't realise such conflicting information :crazy: I will cycle the tank in a bucket of water and ammonia. When I do get the betta I will test the water straight away and monitor it. Thanks for all of your advice but I think that I will keep quiet now and let the...

Bettas can be kept in like 2 gallons of water? I only would have it heavy planted if I was going to have more than one (which I am not now). I have heard that 28L is quite big for a single betta.

Hi, I could cycle the tank if you think that it will help? I bought my 60L second hand and the filter had been off for about 3 weeks. I cycled it with ammonia and it only took 2-3weeks to cycle? If I cycled it in a bucket do I then just transfer the filter to my new tank when I get a Betta?

Well after experimenting buying 'Silent' filters which turn out to be noisy, they have every right to not believe it. Thanks for the dividing advice as well silver rabbit. I think I'll just get 1 male.

Sadly my parents go by 'Bedrooms should be quiet places for sleeping in' :sad:

I have got all the testing kit as I also have my 60L tropical tank. Well Ill leave the filter in there since I have bought it now and surly a filter on for 14 hours a day is better than no filtration at all? I have just ordered the plants and I am waiting for someone on the forum to get back to...

Hi, Thanks for that... When I replied to the 1st comment, yours had disappeared? It is going to be quite heavily planted. I wont keep them with any other fish either... So your saying I could get 4?

Thanks for the reply. It is not me that wants to turn the tank off. It is my family and as I am living under their roof I have to live by their rules. I wish I could keep the filter on. What temperature should bettas be kept at?

Ok that is great. Look forward to hear from you :good:
