My pearl Gourmis has started to have a patch of red inflamed looking patch under his / her mouth. I am aware that the males develop this but im thinking otherwise He was introduced into tank only a few days ago The yeast from my co2 reactor leaked in Im thinking there maybe something wrong...

Got some new filter material, and activated carbon. Ive put them in my canister filter. My marathon 300, it seems like the filter is taking a larger volume of water in per min. then before The filter has been on for a few hours now, the browness has gone now its just milky now so i suppose ill...

Now my tank is very bad cant see the back. Ill try the carbon filter if our lass gets back before shops close but i cant see a thing. The bogwood i put in is colouring the water that much its rediculas and the yeast has made it thinker im begining to worry now How do i stop the bogwood, i...

My lfs has loads, about £15 each though, they have the usual brown, black, pink and Golden which are my personal favorite. The only thing to worrie about with them is stress. They get really stressed quickly and develop white fungus all over themselves and the only medication that you can use...

A power head is in reality just a sump or submersible pump. If as i think stickle is thinking you have it high in water at surface this could be your problem. A sump needs to be completely underwater as it uses the water to cool itself down through heat dissapation into water. If your water...

Do you mean for tanks or general pets / household Because i love axyotloes probably spelt wrong, they are the pupa of salamanda and make the most easy to keep dosile pets i ever had They become very tame, cold water no lights, well you can but they prefer lots of plant cover with no artificial...

Welcome Cichlidmadness Seen your web sites looking good, i learnt a bit more about tyre track eels which was handy. Keep on with it. And hello :D

I have helped some people with this problem where i live There are many reasons possible the people i have seen bite because of time spent with them when they were young. There maybe other reasons like jealousy for example But the same applies whatever the cause : The way to ensure when...

You can get the tubes from any electrical wholesaler for about 3 quid. You just need the length and colour eg white shade are 360 380 or 460 just look for the number thats including VAT. and reflectors you can get for 2 quid. Ballast, choke and starter about 5 quid sold together Another...

You dont actuall go down lfs to buy lights do you ? There a rip off go to industrial retailer or electric wholesalers GL, CEF etc etc and buy them there all you need is the length, colour eg. 360 or 380 ( white shades ) they cost 3 quid each inc vat. so no worries with money if it blows just...

There quite bonnie aren`t they. I take it that they r ok with other cory`s ? If i got 4 Albio, 4 leopard and 4 False Bandit, that wouldn`t be two many. Sharing the bottom with 2x Shrimps and a tyre track eel ? :D

My Pearl Gourmis are it the tank as a pair and started off ok but now the male is so aggressive towards the female im getting more to calm him down. He is also very aggressive to all the other fish in tank, ( except albio cory`s and armoured cat ) but this has become worse as his size increases...

He is adorable how big will he get ? Luv his belly, brilliant marking :D

Cool Size dont matter any its the persoinality I just like the companionship you can get with birds of prey, the problem is that at that size its not as simple as having budgie, keeps wanting to attack.....well lets see the neighbours erm : Rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets well not now, erm...

Cheers thats some sorted now i feel less stupid

Yep i think the best way to dissolve it is straight into my filter it has dissolved before it gets back out, 100 % efficiant that way no waste The plants are looking good but its hard to tell the full effect if you dont have two tanks one with one without to destinctivly see difference between...

I am using a blue marine fluro. for my night light to give it an eery night glow which started off well The Rocks being white got a blue tone which looked like night time so did the bogwood, not so lit up though. It looked brilliant ......But After i added the plants.....oh no Now when it...

Im not that clued up myself but having asked about cory`s earlier i was given the advice to : Have more of each cory Species because they get on better in numbers On one site ive been on it says to keep at least 6 of each species for better behaivour. Mixing one type of cory with other type...

saw the pics of cory but its blurred so i cant make out much markings, either that or too much bear. Im having albio`s in and leapord but need 1 more type of cory then ill buy them ( not all at once of course, that would be silly ) im thinking 4 of each ? :D
