Yeah thats what I've heard as well, tetras should be kept in groups of 5 of their own kind. I would expand on your glowlights and blue neons as they look great in larger schools. Also I believe that shark may outgrow your tank.....see here...

OK so I tested the water again today and I'm a bit worried now Ammonia 0 mg/l Nitrite 0.3mg/l Nitrate 20mg/l I guess the nitrate will go up with time until water change but wasn't expecting nitrites to rise. Should I lay off feeding them for a day and see what my results are? I might have...

OK cheers. Will test each day to see what it is. I've ordered some java moss aswell now, gonna try and get some slate for it to sit on. Really like your marine tank by the way, been reading your journal :good: By the way is mg/litre the same as ppm?? ???? cheers Dave

OK so I got the testing kit today finally and have tested the water, readings are as follows: PH 7-7.5 Ammonia - 0mg/litre Nitrite - 0.1mg/litre Nitrate - 5mg/litre After reading the books witht the kit I think this is alright for a matured tank bearing in mind that I have replaced all the...

Hi everyone, I'm quite new to the forum and the hobby and had a few questions for you guys. I've bought a 75 litre (20g) tank which has been running for a while. It is currently non-planted. It has 2 x 2" yellow rainbow fish, 6 x zebra danios and 8 x tetra neons in it. The bottom is filled...

Oh OK, that shows how much the attendant in my LFS knows. He said 2 or 3 corys would be OK, and also that all tetra would school - no matter what type. Also is there any shrimp or snail which are worth looking at? My substrate is gravel, 2-3mm across, will the plants root OK in this? Will I...

I went to my LFS today to see what fish took my fancy. I identified the rainbow fish as yellow rainbows straight away. They had identical ones to mine. Not really too sure why they're called 'yellow' cos mine and the ones in the shop are silvery with a hint of turquise with red tail fins...

Have a look at black neon tetras, xray tetras, ember tetras and glowlight tetras. The xray ones have attractive fins and the glowlight ones are similar to the neo but shine red instead. Peppered corys are also nice. I collected a tank yesterday which was already in use- its a 20g with 2...

Thanks for responses, The link is close but mine have red tails and turquise fins top and bottom. Going to get rid of the snails then because there are loads. I guess I will find something for that at my lfs. I was thinking about removing the rainbows then. So maybe then I could get 4...

Thanks for that, Definetly right with the tetras and the danios, not too sure on the other one. There is probably more like 50 or 60 snails which have worked out of the gravel and are climbing the tank now!!

First off Hi all, I have just bought a second-hand tank and have a few questions. The tank is around 75 litres and has the filter and heater built in at the back. Currently there are two fish (the same) around 2.5", and six fish (stripy ones) between 1" and 1.5", and eight fish (bluey green...
