    J.m.s. 55g Semi-planted Tank

    Very nice set up :good: But have to agree with crazyforcorydoras, blue gravel is a bit...... well, blue. Sand would have been a nicer choice to brighten up your tank. But I can't say anything. I too, have had blue gravel in 1 of my tanks :lol: But very nice scape and tank.

    Water Softening Without Reverse Osmosis

    Discus Trouble

    If its possible, I would remove the discus that's showing signs of disease, put it in a hospital tank and treat it away from your other discus. But keep any eye on all of them. Having 1 or 2 die is gutting enough, but you don't want it spreading through your whole tank. If you can get it in a...

    New Discus

    Well, picked up my new discus this evening, and by goodness they are awesome! Went through £15 of petrol trying to find the place but well worth it! Will post some pictures of them tomorrow night.

    New Discus

    Have found out about a good site to check out. So checked it out, some great choices and pretty reasonable prices. So I have ordered 4 small discus, and I'm meeting up with the guy tomorrow night. Looking forward to it. Will post with some pictures once I have them. Fingers crossed

    Sick Angel

    A few years back, I had a pair of angels, 1 of which was a lot older than the other, by a good year and a half. But they got along fine. Then the older 1 eventually died (I moved house and it wasn't quite right from then). But then the other started behaving strange. Not eating, lying on its...

    Hey I Am Starting A New Tank

    Hi there, welcome to the forum. 1st things 1st. If you have a 90gallon tank, it will certainly NEED some kind of stand. Weather its a homemade or 1 from a pet store. 90gallons of water will flatten a desk. A desk might be able to hold 90ltrs, bit not gallons. There is a good beginers guide in...

    Finishing Up My Tank

    Dwarf gourami like softer water, where mollies like slightly harder water as far as I'm aware. Stocking wise, you would be fine, but I couldn't say the same for water parameters to be honest. Dwarf gourami have a bad habit of dying for no apparent reason. Iv tried keeping them on and off for...

    How Many Angels In This Tank?

    I think on the long run, it would be quite nice to have a pair of angels, to watch them kick about together. It's something I wish I had done before getting my angel. But it DOES sound like a fair bit of long, drawn out hassle. And when you could just get 1, which looks awesome straight away...

    How Many Angels In This Tank?

    You could get a male and female and hope for the best, but even sexing them of you get young ones will be pretty difficult. But your right enough, the best way to pair them up would be to buy between 4-6 and wait for a pair to form, keep them and re-home the others. :good: And your tank is...

    Wait till night time. Make sure everything is off, ie Tele, lamps etc.. when taking the pic, tilt the camera slightly down to avoid flash reflection. That's all I can think off :rolleyes:

    Kribs In A Discus Set Up?

    Hmm, I was afraid of that. Might lower the temp down a tad then, aim for around 26/27. Don't want to go any lower than that. If they look like their not happy, will see up my hospital tank and make it a breeder tank :good:

    Moss Balls

    What about algae on plants or any wood you have in your tank? Does the moss balls keep them any more algae free? I remember reading that thread a while ago and wondering if it actually worked or not.

    Cheap Ways To Setup New Freshwater Tank

    Great thread! Would be good if it was pinned :good: Edit: you can also buy large bags of pond safe rocks from most garden shops for around £5 for 12kg. And they look every bit as good as the mega expensive ones you get in pet shops.

    Bath Time Fun

    My brother and I used to get plonked in the same bath when we were kids and I used to complain that he peed all the time in the bath. Which our mam would reply a sharp "shut-it" and pour some pee bath water over our heads. Till 1 day she saw him do it, to which she said... "Oh aye, he DOES pee...
