I've been having some problems in my tank lately with fish dying but after some great help on here from @wilder and a few others my remaining fish are on the mend and looking a lot happier and healthier. I've been after a piece of wood as a centrepiece for months, to finish the look off, but...

It's a vision 180 with an exteral fluval 205, the Bolivian rams seemed to be fine for 6 weeks, I did a fish in cycle, and started the process with aqua pure? Not sure on the exact name, little clear dissolvable balls that I put in the filter, I'm well planted too to help with nitrate. And...

I'm not sure on what to do here, I started up a new tank in June, after a 20 year break as an early teenager and things were going well, Until 2 weeks ago anyway, at first I cycled the tank, and introduced 3 Cory and 6 Cardinal Tetra, then 2 weeks later 6 harlequin then 4 paradise fish etc...

I've been looking at this seller for a few weeks now and undecided as to whether or not to take the plunge, the description put me off as driftwood is different to bogwood..... Did it take long to sink? As I have no way of soaking wood (first floor flat and no bath and not a lot of room) Also...

darn it, I put a dose in, do I have to water change before using the interpet stuff? The fish are basically the same, the dwarf cichlid is laying on the bottom though, no change in my Cardinals, 2 with no tails, one with half a tail, and one of them is breathing very fast, almost as if its...

I ordered some sera nematol last night so am waiting for it to arrive, I also went to my LFS ti buy the internal bacteria meds, I bought sterazin and have just put in my first dose after removing the carbon from my filter. Is this the right stuff? Was recommended by the staff but reading the...

Thankyou for your help Wilder, you have been a star, I finish work at 13.30 tomorrow so shall go to my LFS and get some internal bacterial med and I am about to hit eBay for the sera nematol. Hope it works and I shall keep you posted on the results.

Does this stuff work as a worming treatment and also the internal bacteria treatment for the fish at the bottom?

I believe my ammonia is reading as 0ppm, I only have test strips so not the best but it matches the 0 better than anything else, the next colour up is 0.5ppm. From the top, their backs are straight, from the side I'd say their backs are at their highest at the dorsal fin and curve down towards...

Here are some answers for you. I dont have the best test kits but Im reading them as Ammonia - less than 0.5ppm, NO3 - 25mg/l NO2 - 0mg/l PH - between 7.2 and 7.6 (hard to tell exactly, between 2 readings :unsure: Enlarged anus. Red inflamed anus? No Worms protruding from the anus? Not...

Hi peeps, I have a problem in my tank. It's a relatively new set up, its been up and running since the end of june, its a 180 litre juwel vision running with a fluval 205 external filter and I was slowly stocking, but in the last week I've lost 5 fish suddenly. I lost a dwarf cichlid after 3...

I have a pair of Bolivian rams and an electric blue ram added later, a bit of chasing when the blue first went in but now they all get along fine. I wanted 2 electric blues but at £25 each I couldn't afford it :-( How about sone harlequin rasbora? I have a shoal of 6 and they're very active.

I introduced 3 paradise fish, 1 male and 2 female into my 180 litre tank nearly 2 months ago. I went away for the weekend two weeks ago and came back to 2, the male and the larger female, with the 3rd missing, and I mean missing, at first I thought she might have died but I can't find any...

Well, I cut up the wood this evening, I could see it had been chainsawed anyway as it was a rough cut so I carefully looked at it from all angles to find the best cut point, decided and got to work. I still don't know what type of wood it is but I can certainly tell you its a hard wood :blink...

It was £13.95 and about the same again for postage so under £30 delivered :hyper: But it came from Germany and took 10 days to get here :angry: I really like it actually, going to turn it into a centrepiece rather than to one side of the tank, going to have to have a careful think and try...

I am going to rescape my tank (juwel vision 180). Thus is the current look.... I got the gravel with the tank, I think its a coral gravel, I wasn't sure about it but went with it, and now I've changed my mind... I've got 25kg of black gravel (2-3mm grain size) which I shall begin to wash...

Thanks for that, I'll have a chat with my LFS and see what they can do, I've been keeping an eye on them this evening and he is constantly hassling the red one, I find it quite strange as I have a reasonably big tank, I have seen him giving the females a bit of stick too so perhaps his time is...

I have my a tank, a juwel vision 180l for a while now, I'm all cycled and am now stocking. I originally wanted a pair of dwarf gourami but changed my mind and plumped for Paradise fish, I bought 4, one green male, one red male and 2 green females. They've been in and settled for over a...

That looks awesome. Good job!

Any chance of a picture??? My local shop is a Maidenhead Aquatics shop, their choice of wood is disappointing, there is lots on ebay but Id like to see it close up and exactly how big it is etc before I commit, its one of those things I am really really fussy about, the missus wants a treasure...

As Brian said mate, use the interweb and open an account at www.photobucket.com its easy enough, upload your photos to there, when they are uploaded under each picture is an image code, it starts with IMG, click it to copy it then in your other window (ie this forum) paste it into the message...

Hi all, Im a returning newbie to fish keeping, I had a small tank when I was in my early teens that I used to love and had for several years but then I got a bit older and discovered girls, drinking in parks and other teenage things and lost interest in it so gave it up. Now Im 33 Ive fancied...

Cheers for the advice, I will pop in there tomorrow, so do I have to do daily water testing to make sure levels are correct and not to add fish until the readings settle? How long will a cycle take on a 180litre tank with a fluval 205 external filter? The flow is pretty good...

Hi there folks, I've just got myself a juwel vision 180 and and in the process of setting it up. Yay. I had a tropical tank when I was in my early teens but got bored of it and sold it when I discovered girls and alcohol. In those days I had a 60x30x30 tank with an undergravel filter, on an...
