Hello! I currently have a 110L that is cycled with the following in it: a pair of baby apistos and 1x BN (had 3x but 2 of them didnt last very long after I brought them home with 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites :( ). I just can't decide what to get! I quite like South American Puffers but realise I...

Thanks for replying! I added a little bit more a few hours after feeding them the first time as they seemed to (finally) have eaten most of it, I'm trying to grow them up quite quickly! I still have about half of the cube left over, I'm guessing I cant leave it over night? What should I do with it?

Anyone? :(

Hi! I bought some frozen "micro" bloodworm, daphnia and brineshrimp by the make gamma. I currently have an understocked 60L and a 110L with 2 baby apistos (I was told they were wild but I have no idea how to check) and a single bristlenose that is also quite small 1.5" max. I defrosted a cube...

I bought 3 small bn plecos a week and a half ago and they were doing fine, when I first got them they were lighter which I expected as they would be stressed, they were all eating and showing no symptoms. 2 of them went black with the spotty pattern on them a day or so after I got them so I...

Hi! When I initially got my tank I was setting it up for some SAPs and a pair of apistos (had a differant tank for the apistos is the puffers didntlike them.) but after taking a pair of these guys home i've fallen in love with them, and think I want more cichlids rather than the puffers but I...

I was actually thinking of getting 3 SAP's which are freshwater and could live in the 110L with the possibility they would leave the apistos alone depending on their nature :). I think angels might grow a bit big though after a bit of research :(

Hi! I got a 110L tank for christmas, cycled it and currently have 3 baby bristlenoses! I also have a 60L with 2 CRS, a honey gourami, 2 ADFs 6 Celestial pearl danios and 3 active Kuhlis. Before I got the tank I wanted some puffers, but they just seem more trouble than theyre woth now and now...

Oh, the 110L is empty, I meant I could move the apistos over to my 60L if the puffers nip at them :)

Just 3 SAP's? I thought that was the ideal amount? I meant put the apistos in the 60L not SAP's :)

Hi! I have a 110L tank that is in the last few days of cycling! On monday I'll be going to my lfs and ask them to get 3 SAP's in for me! This is all very exciting but I have a 60L tank with a few Kuhli's 2 ADF's 6 Celestial pearl danios and 1 smallish clown killi and a honey gourami. There still...

Awesome! Thats great news! I chopped up about a quarter of my filter sponge in the 60L and put it in the 110L, I've been adding fish food every other day and I mean ALOT of food tank currently is sitting at 0.5 ppm of ammonia & Nitrite, I'm not sure if the ammonia is getting changed fast or if...

They didn't have any Apistos or bolivian rams which i was suprised at as they have a great selection! So instead I came back with a couple of dario darios and a couple of clown killis!

Sorry to pester, just about to go to my LFS and looking for the go ahead with either apistos / rams (not sure which type of ram either? )

Wow! Thanks alot :D

Anyone else? I'm also adding food in my tank to cycle it as I can't really get to a boots for a week or 2 does anyone know how much approximately I should add? Thanks.

Hi! I'm just trying to work out how I clean the inside of my Aquamanta EFX 200 filter and put some more mature media in it though I can't work out how I open it without springing a leak everywhere! Any advice? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply! I'm hoping (praying) I could get a single smaller marine fish but it looks like it'll have to be a betta, though all the ones I've ever seen at all my LFS are just the average plain blue / plain red :( I had alot of the smaller shrimp in my 60L tank but they really were...

I'm thinking of adding a pair of Rams / Apistos aswell but I think the apistos will be too aggressive for my little danios. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi! I got a 110L tank and 15L tank for christmas and already have a 60L up and running for ~4 months, I currently have 6 Celestial Pearl Danios, 2 Honey gouramis, 5 Kuhli loaches and 2 ADF's. Now here is my dilemma, I want South American puffers, my girlfriend wants dwarf puffers. Now we both...

Hello! I currently have a 60L community tank with some Kuhli's a couple of CRS and similar sized shrimp, Celestial pearl danios and a couple of honey gouramis. I was just wondering if it's possible for me to get a killifish for this tank, I've heard they can be semi-aggressive (not sure how...

I thought this too though I've just seen a post by Nmonks that says that captive bred bumblebees are more tolerant to freshwater so I'm not sure what to believe! They have a few F8's in my LFS along with some dwarves aswell ! I just love the look of the puffers it's just a shame they're so...

I'm new to the hobby and was asking pretty much the same question with respect to singular fish rather than shoaling, personally I'd get a small shoal of Celestial Pearl Danios, even though they do shoal they are very small (2cm max) and would add an extra dimension to the tank I feel :), You...

Perfect! Thank you!

Hi! I'm getting a 110L tank for christmas and already own a 60L tank, I want puffers but I also don't want to have 1 fish in a 110L tank with no other housemates! Swapping the fish from my 60L community is definately an option but what do you think would be a good setup? I really like bumblebee...

Hi! I currently have a 110L tank and a 60L tank, the 60L has gravel in that I want to change to sand. The 110L isnt currently set up and I'm not sure what to do to change the gravel to the sand, I have Kuhlis in there which I think will be almost impossible to catch! And some shrimps that are...

Anybody? I'm going home today and want to get started on my tank today!

I'm fairly sure it isn't more than 14" but will definately check when i get home! I feed them HBH frog and tadpole bites and frozen bloodworm, I find it tricky getting them to find the frog bites though! But yes, I handfeed.

a male and a female ADF! As for the dimensions i'm not sure as I won't be home for a few days and cant find the thing on the internet! It seems to be pretty average in every which way though to me! it's rectangular, though.

anybody? =(

Hi! I bought a 110L tank for christmas and currently have a 60L already up and running. I currently have some Kuhli's, a couple of CRS (didn't realise they were escape artists when I bought them!), celestial pearl danios a couple of honey gouramis and a couple of frogs. I'm thinking of using...

If you're looking for a small shoaling fish then celestial pearl danio (galaxy rasbora) are great and only get to a centimetre or 2 long.

#41####! Thats a shame :) I do like the look of the SAPs and some of the tetras though :)

Thanks for replying!! using your post a guideline would this be viable: 1 SAP 6 of the listed tetra and 1 or 2 gouramis (not dwarf/honey) and a L128 pleco? (I realise these are rare)

Thanks for the replies! I'm definately getting it now!! Now i just need to decide the stocking!!

Hi! I'm currently thinking of getting a 110L for christmas, only it'll be going upstairs in my room which is newly extended. I think it would be fine as its pretty long and not very wide (80x35x40cm) do you think this would be okay? If someone could give me a verdict that would be great, and if...

Hi! A couple of weeks ago I bought some shrimp that were listed as "green shrimp" I knew they weren't and thought they were blue tiger shrimp (they were very small when I bought them) Now a few weeks later theyve all grown a fair bit to about the same size as my CRS. I have 6 of these "green...

Do you know any particular ones? I've just had a browse on the cichlid section and they all seem to be a bit big for a 110L :( I think I'm leaning slightly towards some dwarf puffers, are they any other suitable tankmates other than a plec?

Hello! I currently have a 60l with kuhlis, gouramis, celestial pearl danio and a few assorted shrimp. I'm getting a 110L for christmas and I really can't decide what to put in it! Me and my girlfriend LOVE pufferfish but I'm unsure which species and don't really know if there are any viable...

I don't think it's bleeding under the skin as it hasnt gotten any bigger since I've got him and its only on 1 side of his skin. Are you sure? If I'm honest it doesnt really seem overstocked, my frogs like to sit in the plants and behind my filter when theyre feeling particulary lazy while my...
