thats what i am going to do but do I just put the wafers in whole or do I need to brake them up?

Yeah I meant corys oops, and yeah they have pellets every other day, I am hoping to get some panda corys in the near future. Will it be ok to put the algae wafer in whole or should I break it up :/ I am really unsure and dont want them to start fighting with each other :(

i have 2 peppered catfish, 1 blue ram and a gourami (long story cut short I ended up with the gourami that my sister bought because her corys were aggressive to him), with the algae wafers, I have some that are made by tetra and in a yellow packet dont know if you know them. Do I need to break...

I wont be able to go down to charlies (LFS) until saturday but I will get them to test it then and ask for the numbers they did tell me but I never wrote it down this time I will :)

well we took a water sample to the pet shop and he tested it and said it was fine and to just treat it with some tap safe liquid whenever we change the water :)

Ok thank you, I am going to clean it on saturday using a gravel cleaner then I will do a 50% water change and treat the water, hopefully it wont come back after that :)

I am using tropical fish flake food and algae wafers and yes it is still there this is the only picture I have (I have added it to the my top post)  and its not really fluffy or jelly like its just tiny orange dots 

Well I set up my tank and I was letting it settle for a few days before I got my fish, during that time I turned on my filter and within an hour my gravel was covered in a orangey substance it looks like little dots on the gravel. I thought that it must of been some bits from the filter but it...

Ok thank you for your advice and his top fin does seem to be of a point them rounded thank you for your help anyway :)

Can anyone else help me ??? 

I am surprised no one has answered your question yet, I am still just starting out so please dont take my advice as seriously as you might someones with years in this hobby, however, I can not see it being a problem, if anything I think it might help get your new tank set up quicker :) please...

It would be kept with 3 panda corys, they are all super peaceful if that makes any difference. I wont be able to take any more pictures today but I could go down tomorrow and take some, what am I looking for on the top fin?

I would like to start by saying sorry as I know I didnt really get off to the best start with a few of the members on this forum, sorry :(  I really need some help sexing this gourami as my sister might buy him but wants to know what sex he is, we are pretty sure he is a male although we arn't...

Yeah I have my fish now, will they be alright? they look happy and healthy :)

How can I make ammonia and nitrate in my tank?

I would be getting a male ram if that makes any difference to the aggresion and also my water is a pH of 5, I had it tested yesterday at the pet shop they have a scale and tablets that they add to the water to tell. Also my tank is 50l and very big so I think they would be alright wont they...

So what do you guys think I should feed my 2 corys and 1 german blue ram on? currently they are on flake food but tomorrow I am going back to the pet shop to get something better should i look for meaty pellets?

Whats wrong with the rams? What makes them hard to keep?

Can you get meaty wafers?

thank you :) I do want to go about it the right way! :) does anyone know if long-finned blue rams get along with corycats cos my local pet shop has them in a tank together and I would love to get a few of each :) I am buying my tank tomorrow I am going for a nice new 50l and am going to do the...

Thank you I was advised to use a few flakes and a wafer :) thanks

Ok thank you so so much I understand the water cycle now and have a good idea of what sort of fish I want and how many thank you so everyone :)

If I have 2 corydora catfish and 2 rasboras how can I make sure the corys are getting food and what should I feed them on?

Has anyone ever bought fish, tanks or tank ornaments from there? Just wondering as a want some rasboras and my sister recommended shopping there but dont want to drive all the way there to find out that they have none :/

Also are microrasboras a breed or are they a group? if they are a group what breeds of fish are there that fit into that group? I will get about 5 then maybe add more at a later date :) thanks for all your help

As I am only 13, I am in top set for science and i understand the pH scale but i dont fully understand the fish less cycle thing :/ I wouldnt have plants that would grow in the tank but I would by some nice plants from the pet shop which my old fish that I had 3 years ago loved :)  Thank you so...

What about the common gold fish? what other fish are there that will happily live on there own or in a small group?  If I got my dads old 50l tank which i could easily use, should I add the 2 micro rasburas at the same time as the corycats?

OK thank you :) Do you think that 2 corydoras can live with 1 micro raboras? :) thank you in advance

I really cant get a much bigger tank because I will have no where to put it and my budget is pretty small :/ and I am not offended by what you said because my friends definatley didnt know much about fish they just liked the look of the bettas :)

I havent got the tank yet and there is a 24l tank avalible  which I have thought about :) i dont really want a betta fish as my friends have had 3 between them and they have all died of fin rot :/  Are there any fish who are nice to watch in the tank and will get along with a couple of...

I am interested in keeping some fish in my room in a 18L tank. I really would like to keep about 2 corydora catfish and have researched into them and have decided that they will be a nice fish to have. But I have also been told that they can be a bit boring as they like to just live at the...
