I mean I think any fish that grows bigger than I managed may be a bit much as a pet but still a good threat to use on the young cousins when they start misbehaving.

I wouldn't mind them, they haven't got teeth that look like the fish stole them from a T-Rex. I was very disappointed recently when I went to an aquarium that had a tank which was supposed to have an Alligator gar in and there was no alligator gar, I was almost as disappointed as when I spent a...

For me at the moment I have a list of fish I'd love to have but don't have the space for a tank that would suit them. I was wandering around Google the other night and found sites in America selling young Goliath Tiger Fish, if I had a swimming pool then I wouldn't mind one of them even if they...

Well if you take into account either petrol to drive up or shipping costs then it probably works out to be the better deal and you've got them.

Looking forward to pictures of them :clap:

Pier definitely ships, it's £24 for shipping though. They're both local to me so been in quite a bit recently looking at the fish and I stalk them on Facebook lol. Berks is definitely a bit of drive but if you make up to the North West there's quite a lot of shops dotted around to go look at.

Where abouts in the UK are you? Pier Aquatics in Wigan thinks they'll have some in stock in 2 or 3 weeks or Abyss Aquatics in Stockport does have some in at the moment, current price is 5 for £13.50. Pier is cheaper at 5 for a tenner.

So still getting ammonia spikes but mainly in the right hand tank which has the white one in. The left hand one with the white and red registers marginal rises in ammonia when the right hand one shows quite high ammonia so I will keep on with the big water changes. I've brought down some...

Thank you! I'm very happy with them. I do love Bettas and the colours you can get now are amazing. All I remember seeing when I was a kid was reds, blue and red and very occasionally ones with a flesh coloured body and that was it. Now there's all these colours and fin types and it makes it very...

I had this problem as I set up my 110 litre tank. My initial problem was the substrate leeching colour into the water, I had reddish clay type substrate so you can imagine how that looked. I sorted that by several big water changes then I got this milky like water like you have. I did some...

I love him, he was the last one chosen because when I was picking them out, from some angles in the shop lighting, he looked a bit dull then as I was looking he turned and caught the light and all the colour stood out. That said I could have happily bought several more tanks and brought home a...

There we go finally!

My other Betta in his 5g with one of the shrimp and the second of the new ones again.

This is the best I've gotten so far that will upload.

The 3rd one is proving very hard to photograph, he's a dark copper colour and when the light hits him you get some beautiful iridescent colours. They seem to have all settled down now after the water change which is good.

This is number 2, when he's out and about he looks like a watercolour painting.

This is one of the Bettas, the other two are proving a bit harder to take a decent photo of.

I'll put some Seachem on order, I've got Tetra aqua safe at the moment. I do have a tendency to worry anyway, I think having my first Betta die on me quickly has made me a bit paranoid about fish. My second Betta had to put up with me eyeballing him constantly for about 2 weeks before I'd relax.

So brought the Bettas home today, absolutely stunning fish, I will put up pictures later. Everything seemed to be going well then noticed about an hour after putting them into the tanks that the one in the middle seemed to be rubbing himself along the bottom. About an hour after noticing him I...

Somewhere between 2 and 3 gallons, more towards the 2 gallon mark I reckon which does not mean in the slightest that I'm playing a long game here and going to use it as an excuse to get 3 more 5 gallon tanks at some point with the argument they need an upgrade. Nope not in the slightest. It's an...

Definitely not snails,I avoid them as much as possible whether they're the ones you buy or the ones that hitchhike in. Luckily for me only the 5g has hitchhikers, I'm gutted the Betta who is in there now doesn't eat them and I really wish he would.

Betta had Fluval bug bites tonight and I ate sushi sat right next to him.

It's a real problem. I keep looking at the breakfast bar thing in the kitchen which would be perfect for a big tank, it's at least 5ft across but it's too high and it would need a lot of reinforcing to support a big tank. Then I start looking at other spaces and poking things wondering if...

32 litres altogether (it would be perfect if it was a bit bigger but it does mean it fits on the only free surface I could make), the dividers are black plastic with gaps at the top and bottom for water flow but the soil covers the bottom one. Filter is behind the left hand tank and the pump is...

I popped to the LFS today to pick up some bits and pieces for finishing touches to my 110 litre tank and somehow I came home with a Betta trio tank and 3 Bettas on reserve. The shop have provided me with some old filter media so should hopefully be cycled very soon. I only went in for a few more...

Depends on the Betta, set up and the size of the shrimp. My first Betta gorged himself on my smaller shrimp and that may well have contributed to his death (though I still think there was something internal going on), second Betta who is thriving will harass them a bit but he hasn't had much of...

Excellent thank you. Very much looking forward to getting some fish in that tank.

So I think I've narrowed it down to what I want. I'm thinking definitely Boraras brigittae, the Kubotai and shrimp but I was also wondering about celestial pearl danios. From what I've been reading they should work as well but would like second opinions.

I emailed Fluval about the light going on my filter/light for my Fluval Chi and whether it was possible to replace just the light without replacing the whole unit. It turns it's not possible and I'd have to buy a new cube. I'm now thinking about replacing it with a small filter at the back of...

Name: Tiana Age: 7months Breed: Longhaired chihuahua (her coat is still growing in) Tricks: Can do down to just a hand signal and hopefully will be learning how to use a bell by the back door to let us know when she needs to go out because she's so small I don't always see her head to the door...

I have just 2 at the moment. A 5g with my Betta and shrimp in and a 29g that is still cycling but should be ready for fish quite soon hopefully, still got some bits and pieces to add yet. I would really quite like a tiered stand that I could have multiple 5g tanks on and end up with a wall of...

My Betta/shrimp tank is a Fluval Chi tank and I noticed today that the light has stopped working on filter/light cube. Has anyone had any luck with just replacing the light on the cube without having to buy a whole new cube? Looking round Google and Amazon I can only find replacement cubes and...
