Well that's good! She practically has a new set up (was used before and failed so the tank was cleaned but she bought new gravel, filter and thermometer) the only thing that was added that was mature was 1 filter pad. She has been dechlorinated the water though. She was also given this product...

Hello,   I recently made a post about my step mum trying to cycle her tank and I brought her a filter pad to help speed the process up. She started on the 5th and still has not seen ammonia go down.   So here are the details: Tank: 64L Temp: 26C Ammonia: 35%   Monday ............. Added 1ml of...

Awesome!   Thank you both :) It's about 30 mins away so I will transport in some on the tanks water, maybe in a container or I might even have one of those bags from buying fish. She's only got a small tank (75l I think) and I have 2 sponges in my filter so I will give her one.   Also I've...

Hi There!   I wonder if anyone can help. I have recently convinced my step mum to give fish another go (Previously she failed and they all died, etc).   I currently have 2 fish tanks, both cycled and neither one has has a problem in quite some time. I would like to help her out by giving her...

Thanks for the reply.   That doesn't sound too nice but i guess it had to be done. I will keep an eye out but hopefully no one else will get it. I did remove the fish before the others realised he was weak.

Any one have any ideas?

Well i didn't want to find myself in this thread but hey ho here we go again.   I have recently added plants and bogwood to my tank. They didn't all go in on one day I added them all over about 2 weeks. I had 6 tetras and 1 doctor fish who seemed happy enough.   This weekend gone I tested the...

Yay! Thanks guys!  

Hello all! So i would like to go up the plant route but this will be for the first time so a little worried I'll mess it up. I was hoping that's where you guys can help me out :) I want to go easy as it's going to be my first planted tank so low light and no CO2. Here is the tank:     Tank -...

Mmmm fish poo... Nah i think i might give that a miss :)

That's a good idea. I'm so going to try that when i do my next water change!

I ended up finding one in Tesco for £5 The important thing is it worked on the extension cable! Yay! :D

Awesome :)

Yeah I was surprised as well! It definitely wasn't having any of though, I tried several times. Although I didn't try it on another extension lead, but I doubt that would be the issue, might have to try again just to be sure.Hmmm, well I will be going to Tesco's on the way home so I'll have a...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with using timers on extension cables. I bought: http://www.amazon.co.uk/CostMad-Mechanical-Segmented-Adjustable-Programme/dp/B007PF5ZT4/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1357225773&sr=8-8 Which only seems to work when plugged into a main...

Thanks for the reply! The tank has been up for about 6 months now. Not sure i'm quite ready for a bigger tank haha. Well i would have changed if there was any advantages to make my fishies happier. Seeing as there isn't i think i'll keep to my current one as it's less hassle. :)

So i went over to the parents house for Christmas and was talking to my step-dad about fish. He use to have fish and gave me his old filter saying it's good, etc. I'm still quite new to this hobby so i didn't want to just go ahead and change the filters. Seeing as you guys are so helpful here i...

Again thanks for the advise. So do you think i would be able to do this: 2 Rams 6 tetras (Hyphessobrycon group) 1 angelfish 6 sterbi cory 1 bn 1 doctor fish Although i may be asked by the bf to change the amount of tetras and corys as he likes odd numbers :S

Thanks for the suggestions :D Yeah they all seem pretty cool, I agree with dannybgoode on the black phantoms. My only issue is that they look the same sort of size as the rummy-nose and it didn't take long for my angel fish to take an interest in them :(

So I have a 125 litre (33 gallons) tank and 2 fish: Angel fish and doctor fish. I recently lost my other fish due to some infection, not really sure what it was but my fire eel had white on its tail and the fish shop gave us some medicine but it pretty much killed everything. Even before that...

Ok, so I'm still new to owning fish. Going to the fish shop is great looking at all these awesome fish but I don't really know what fish go well together. Currently I have a 70 litre tank with 1 angelfish, 1 fire eel, 1 guppy and 1 doctor fish + snails Now I have gone out and gotten a 125...

It's a congolese river frog, there used to be 3 but now only one remain. It seems more stupid than aggressive though. I know about the Fire eel, they mentioned when we bought it that if it grows too big we can always take it back to the aquarium and swap.

Our fire eel is so timid though, he usually only comes out for food. It's about 60 litres and had the tank for years. Did clean the tank the day before getting new fish.

We seem to keep loosing fish everytime we go out and buy more. Before we got more fish there was: 1 Tetra 1 Angel fish 1 Guppie 2 Sword tail 1 Fire Eal (i think) 1 Frog 1 Doctor fish Went and bought 5 Tetras and 2 guppies on the sunday and two days later we have: 3 Tetras 1 Angel fish 1...
