Hi, I have got a new tank (28L). I have been told that I would only be allowed 1 betta in this tank but after reading on the forum I am beginning to question it? I have used some sponge from my current tank to cycle it. The sponge filter MAY (being the operative word) have to be turned off at...

What are the chances!!! Thanks for the quick reply... I dont mind anything really. There is one type that I would like (amazon swords) but really anything would be nice ;)

Hi guys, As title says really. I'm looking for some plant cuttings for my 30L betta tank. I would like it free if possible.. I'm not after much its just if you are tidying up your tank feel free to send them my way! Of course I will pay for postage! Thanks very much :good:

Wow thanks for the great reply! Well when I got home, I let the bag floating (opened and top of bag rolled over) to get temperature for 30 minutes. Then over the space of 1 hour I added 1.5 shot glasses of my tank water to the bag every 5-7 minutes. Not sure how long they were in the store for...

Hi, Got my fish on Saturday afternoon. Saturday night 2 cardinal tetras died. Sunday, one more died. And this morning when I got up, One Guppy, Two Cardinals and a Cherry Barb had died. My water: Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 5 PH - 8 Please help. I am avoiding the living room as I fear that...

Oh I'm not planning to get anymore fish for like weeks/months :lol: I'll keep an eye on the water though. Thanks :)

About 3 hours ago :) All the fish seem to be settling in (cant see very well as the lights are off) But one fish that I ca see is a cherry barb constantly at the side of the glass sort of shivering moving up and down the glass?

Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 20

Yes I have an API liquid test kit.

So I can add another 5 when they are back in stock :hyper:

I done a fish less cycle (adding ammonia) so I though you could stock all at once? Glad it's a good mix :lol: My tank is an aquastart 500. It holds approx 60 Litres :)

After finishing my cycle 2 weeks ago, I have finally got fish! I have: 6 x Cardinal Tetras 6 x Cherry Barbs 3 x Male Guppies 1 x Dwarf Gourami 1 x Peppered Cory (hopefully get more, they only had one in a tank on its own :lol: ) What do you think? Thanks :good:

Hey guys, Thanks for the great advice... I am not asleep :lol: So after I wait a week or so adding ammonia do I still have to do the big water change :no:

Guys can you help me in my thread in trhe emergancies section?

Ok so I finished my cycle on thursday and last night I did the massive water change and moved my tank. I was expecting to be at the fish shop between 10-10.30. I just tested my water and I was horrified to find - Ammonia: 0.5 NitrIte - 5.0 NitrAte - 80 Im really annoyed as I was all excited to...

Oh ok. Thats good as it will probably only be 15 hours from the move till getting the fish :D I never knew that about tetras? So if I get a betta now and wait some months the tetras will get on with it?

Hi Guys, After 6 weeks of cycling I have finally finished :hyper:. My results: Ammonia - 0 NitrIte - 0 NitrAte - Between 0 and 5... closer to 0 though. Thinking of going fish shopping tomorrow! A couple of questions. Could I move my tank tonight to the place whee it will be and do the water...

Hi guys, I have just finished my fishless cycle: Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 5 Ammonia - 0 I recently visited my local fish shop and the Tiger Barbs really caught my eye. I know that you cant keep them with small fish like tetras but can you keep them with other barbs? Thanks in advance :)
