I'd recommend the Arcadia arcs, I think they're lovely looking tanks. I have two second hand ones, they seem to pop up on ebay quite often. Love the look of yours FighterFishh, Here's one of mine, (not as nicely scaped!) with my HM betta, Ink. It's a 35 litre and the filter it uses is an aqua...

they're lovely and the male betta is stunning (:

I think you could never have a healthy happy goldfish in a 5 gallon, 10 gallon is the minimum for one fancy goldfish they say.. Edit- sorry I missed the part about the betta!

I found some goldfish eggs in my pond, they were spawning yesterday. I collected mostly opaque ones and then found out from this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8mX2GLGGq0&feature=related) that the transparent ones are fertilized, not the opaque ones so I'm going to try and get more in a...

Livestock: Peppered Cory Quantity for sale: x1 Reason for Sale: I have just one peppered cory in a group of bronze corys and I think he'd prefer his own kind. Seems happy enough but i'm just listing him up here incase any one wants to pick him up to join their own larger group of peppers...

my three bettas (: Vincent, a marble HMPK. (: Ink, a cellophane marble halfmoon. (: Radzinsky, a mustard gas HM and my first betta.

Feeding them a small pinch just now, I think it might be because they're gulping lots of air.. I used to sink their flakes as they were nicer to watch swimming through the water eating but recently I just started leaving flakes for them to get at the top because I got mollies who eat from the...

they're pretty thin for tiger barbs I think, as i've seen photos of other people's and they look double the size of mine. Here's a video of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2S4aCDMEv8&feature=plcp I recently thought i'm not feeding enough.. but i'm not sure. (also are those peppered cories...

I was giving away my tiger barbs as I wanted to change to a peaceful community tank as they did not get on with my cories. I've found someone who wants them,however recently three of them are struggling to stay in the water, they are constantly swimming down to avoid floating. This happend a...

love this photo, he's stunning!

Livestock: I have 6 corydoras catfish in need of a new home. Quantity for sale: 2x bronze 2x albino 2x peppered Reason for Sale: I bought them for my 160 litre and they were fine for a while, then one of tiger barbs became aggressive and soon after they all ganged up on them. They're now...

oh he's pretty! :) and lovely colour!

thank you, I will have a go at the comp! Just saw this in the tank, is it a bubble nest?? I didn't see him making any of the bubbles though..

Wow - haha I only just got the one yesterday and I want more! :lol: They're lovely to watch and it's a nice change from my food obsessed tiger barbs! Neither actually - forgot to say! There's a finzntailz youtube account, I asked about the betta in the video. It had only just been uploaded...

i'm quite worried now! Think i'll have to cover up the larger gaps in the lid, I thought because his fins were so long and he can't swim so fast that he wouldn't be able to get enough speed to jump out - I don't want to risk it though, Yes they are very tempting! I'm sneakly setting up another...

I saw the one from sparks_abc on ebay, he's lovely (: and love the first marble one too! ^^

Here's the tank so far... have ordered some java ferns which should come next week.. It's looking pretty empty at the moment! Also, the water level is low so he can't jump out - he can't jump out from that hieght right? Video of him in the tank...

thanks ^^ finzntailz.co.uk Same ebay price.. I was only allowed to get him on the promise that I wouldn't ask for any more fish! :shifty:

thank you, sorry to be boring but.. more photos! He's getting brighter and since i've turned the filter strength down, (it was a little too strong), a little he's been coming out to the front of the tank more, :) EDIT ... a few hours later

he's from finzntailz, they sell on ebay too (: haha no, i've never been into football! :lol: I got the name from the TV show 'lost' I just liked it, :)

I bought my first ever betta online and he arrived today, his name's Radzinsky, ^^ He's looking quite pale and has a stripe across his body, I think I read these are stress stripes? I was going to wait till he had settled in a bit but I'm desperate to post photos of him! He's on his own in a 10...

love his colouring!

thanks for the reply, well I cut up both biological and mechanical filter media and fitted it all in, i'll probably buy some kind of air stone then (:

Hope this is the right place to post this... I asked what type of filter this was earlier and found out it was an Aqua one filter. All my other filters have two areas for filter media, for mechanical and biological media. The Aqua one just has space for one. I've put both mechanical and...

he was getting thinner and the white patches were disappearing but he still wasn't interested in eating. He passed away today. ): I was really hopeful he was going to fully recover. I think he would have recovered if I had noticed something wrong sooner. Thanks for the help on here anyway...

sorry - some more updates.. I forgot to mention, since this morning, he's developed whitish lumps on both sides of his belly. I'm not totally sure, but I think his belly may look a little flatter, it's definitly just as wide.. The white lumps either side. Since adding the waterlife...

He hadn't eaten any of the peas, (from what I could tell) so i'm going to try cucumber, next time I will buy courgette but i'll try this for now, thanks for the suggestions. I found this post here: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24558, the plec's problem looks pretty...

Just retested the nitrate, I hadn't shaken the third reagent last time, so this time I got a correct reading. I also retested the nitrite and I got less this time. It looked clear but when compared with clear water you could notice a very slight pinkish colour. I'm going to do alot more water...

I use nutrafin tests where you match the results with colour charts, these are the only tests I've tried, I know that alot of people use others tests which give more precise readings. The test for ammonia came out with completely clear water (meaning no ammonia according to the chart) and the...

sorry for your loss. :sad: The 35 litre is still warming up, seems to be taking a long time. Just tested the water, ammonia and nitrate both turned out clear but for the nitrite the result turned very slightly coloured (I use colour tests), the tank is 5 months matured. I'm doing a 50% water...

I've only just filled the tank up, 50% water from his current tank and 50% new. The tank has a different substrate and it says on the bag that it lowers the pH. The filter is cycled. Would it still be ok to move him? (once the temp has reached the same). I can test the parametres to see if...

thanks, I think he looks the same this morning.. I'm not sure if he had eaten any of the peas, could have been the barbs.. do you think it would be too stressful for him if I moved him to a smaller 35 litre I have spare so I can tell if he's eating? Thanks for any help. :-(

thank you for the reply, I had given him a few peas every so often and seen him eat them, i'm upset with myself for not doing so more often. He wouldn't eat the cucumber but I hadn't tried leaving him in the tank with him over night. I 've left mushed peas in the tank, covered the tank up...

thanks for the reply, boiling peas this second. Doing some googling, I think it's because he's not had enough vegetable matter, I have given him some but probably not as much as I should have. :no:

I bought a male BN plec about two months ago and have barely seen him, he hides under his bogwood most the time. I feed him every other day one Tetra Pleco multi wafers. I haven't seen him eat one yet but I bury it in the sand, (not too deep) where he's hiding (so that the tiger barbs don't...
