    Tank Mate Help!?

    Yeah, the females are a kind of brown/yellow colour. Male's are the red/red striped/blue ones.

    Tank Mate Help!?

    No females are fine, 3 would be ideal if you have enough space. Saying that you don't see many in the shops as there pretty plain compared to the males and don't sell well.

    Tank Mate Help!?

    I would say get a male, GBR are good as pairs. He will probably chase the female about sometimes but shouldn't harm her in anyway. If you have room 1 male Dwarf Gourami would be OK, anymore than that in a tank your size they would probably fight a fair bit. I have GBR's and DG together and no...

    I Love Pets At Home

    Overheard yesterday, "Tank size?" 60L, "How long has it been set up?" 2 days. OK here's the Oscar you wanted!!! Why do they even ask?? Edit : If you fancy a drive Dobbies in Ayr, South Ayrshire are really good.

    Are My Fish Compatible

    Your tank should be cycled, its the filter rather than the water so as long as it wasn't off for to long and kept damp it'll be fine. Get an API Test kit and test it though just to be on the safe side. Wouldn't worry about algae to much, buy one of those algae brushes and just scrub it off...

    Are My Fish Compatible

    Should be fine then, I think you've got a 12-24 hour window to keep the filter good. I was just saying I have the same tank and I'd say it was more 200, I filled it up with tens litre buckets and used 200 litres, must be all the gravel, ornaments and what not, adjust your percentages to that...

    Are My Fish Compatible

    It was the Mopani root I had to, ended up taking it out and no problems since.

    Are My Fish Compatible

    Based on your tank I would dispute it holds 240 litres, I assume your tank is cycled?? I take 50-60 litres out weekly, thats about 30% I'd guess.

    Are My Fish Compatible

    Your Dwarf Gouramis "should" be OK, I have that exact tank with 3 males, there aggressiveness is severely overrated IMO. I'm not saying they don't nip at each other but provide plenty of cover and they'll be fine. Oh and on the cloudiness I had a piece of wood that was leaking sap, this caused...

    Angels // Fin Rot?

    Angels // Fin Rot?

    Very nice!! :) Mines are only half that size and the all gold kind, they were growing really well until this so fingers crossed they pull through.

    Angels // Fin Rot?

    Hi, I don't have a QT tank :/ I've changed about 75% of the water over two days and had changed 25% on Wednesday so the full tank has been replaced with new water. Thanks for the link, both fish have rot on the Dorsal and Caudal, on one fish one of the pelvic fins seem to have dropped off. Theve...

    Are These Good Water Results?

    I was having a good chuckle reading when I noticed your name, combining the word Fish with it just makes it all the worse haha What does it mean in America??

    Ich Medication - I Dont Think It's Working?

    Stick the heat up to 30 gradually, my treatment did take longer than the bottle stated, around 14 days till everybody was clear. Water changes are good (not immediatly after treating) and hoover the gravel as that's where the parasite is before attaching to another fish.

    Angels // Fin Rot?

    My two Angels fins have started to rot, I first noticed a pinkness round the base then gradually their head and tail fins are falling apart. There also not eating much and hanging about at the top, that's very unlike them. None of the other fish seem affected, any ideas why both of the fish have...

    Serious Stocking Help Needed

    Well after many fish have come and gone I've found myself in a situation where I've got an odd stocking in my 240 litre tank, now I just can't find much I could possible add as everything is incompatible. Current stocking.... 2 x Leopard Gourami/Perch (The large one will eat anything small...

    Finally Had The Change ;-) Opinions Please

    Oh and watch your Dwarf Gourami's if there male, I had two and the fought like crazy, adding a third seemed to spread the aggression and now there mostly fine with each other.

    Finally Had The Change ;-) Opinions Please

    Thats an amazing difference, I'm tempted to do it myself, might give it a go over the Xmas holidays!!

    My First Tank, Opinions?

    Thanks guys!! :) Sadly the Leopard Perch/Gourami did indeed eat one of the Rummys :/ Caught him in a corner with the tail hanging out his mouth. Trying to catch the remainder and stick them upstairs.

    Survey On How Many Tanks You Have

    Just the 2 so far, only been into the hobby for 3 months. 240L in the living room and 90L in my upstairs office. Sure I'll add to them soon :)

    My First Tank, Opinions?

    Thanks for the advice there :) Regarding the Leopard fish yes it is "Ctenopoma acutirostre", when I researched it originally I gathered anything bigger than a neon would be OK, the biggest one is around 2.5/3 inch and having seen the size of his mouth when he fully opens it I do think he could...

    Schooling Fish To Go With Gouramis

    Apologies, it is indeed Dwarf's I have them with, forgetting just how big some Gourami's are.

    My First Tank, Opinions?

    They are all males, in the early days I had one but decided he needed buddys, learned to research more after that. I have a few more fish than it appears in the photo, like I said they like the fake plants so there always in there lol Full list is.... 2 x Angels 2 x Blue Rams 2 x Apistogramma...
