Yeah that's exactly what I thought. Just seemed incredibly overstocked and cruel. My 15gal Long, is stocked with only a small number of fish more than that 5gallon.

Oh yeh my waters fine for shrimp, my other tank has alot, but I wouldn't be adding anything else to my Betta. He's on his own for a reason. He was moves from my community tank, after about 8 months he started getting more and more aggressive and I visibly watched him preying on the shrimp, so I...

Exactly my thoughts too. Seems crazy to me! Chili's are pretty cool! I was close to getting some for my main tank but chose Harlequins instead

I have a 30cm cube, 22l tank, and have it set up for a single Betta. I recently saw this scape on Instagram from a veteran of the hobby, it was the same size tank, and it was stocked with a Betta, and 11 neon tetras aswell as some RCS That seems so crazy to me. Am I right in thinking that is...

Update on the Baby Cory! Or should I say.. Cories! That's right, I've found another one! Managed to get a better photo of the original one I found - the new one I found is about half the size of this wee fella! You can see how tiny this one is compared to the tail of a RCS poking out at the...

Update! The lil guy is out and about! So I finally managed to snap a wee shot! So tiny!

Thanks for the advice! I usually feed my rasboras a tiny granule mix meant for 'fish with tiny mouths' so maybe hes been munching on whatever maxes it to the substrate and any odd bits of algae. I do a water change every week so hopefully that'll keep him happy n boost his growth! Thanks...

Yeah as I say I never expected to see any at all. And since it's already grown alot it definitely seems to have done well! So. Pretty happy at that! I'm going with Dr Malcolm.. life uh, finds a way!

None yet! seems to be hiding behind my big piece of driftwood alot so hopefully il get more n more glimpses as it grows! Definitely trying for photos, everytime I go to feed I'm checking around haha!

Doing some cleaning on my 15gal tank today, and found to my surprise a tiny baby Cory just swimming about! Id seen my Cories mating n doing their wee dance with one another but never imagined any eggs or would-be fry would ever have survived. Especially having Cories and lots of Rasboras. So...

I tested again today and the ammonia is back at 0. Perhaps an issue with the dead shrimp I found

Thanks for all your inputs guys. I got my replacement test kit so have just performed some tests. Temp 78/79° PH 6.7 kH 50ppm-100 gH 50ppm Ammonia 1ppm Nitrite 0ppm Nitrate 5ppm Anything else I've missed you'd like to know or double check let me know :) The ammonia may be explained as I've...

Ah that's awful! :( The only thing I've added was some plants cut offs from another tank I have. I don't know if that would have caused it as I have shrimp in that tank that are fine

Hey guys been a minute since I've been on here but just wanted to ask for some advice. I purchased 10 RCS for my community tank a few months back. They were doing great, or so I thought. Within the past 2 weeks I've noticed a disappearance of most, I e found 3 dead, a 4th literally 5 minutes ago...

Thanks Essjay! Appreciate the quick response!

Just bought some extra Harlequin Rasbora for my tank and noticed this little guy in with them. It's alot more slender than the rest, more silver in colour and it's markings are totally different, but any help identifying would be great!

Thanks so much! I wish I had more room, I would happily make alot more, I really enjoy it! I'll have to start convincing friends to join the hobby so I can build them one haha! :lol:

So since I had to removed my Betta from my community tank as she was becoming more and more aggressive, she's now got her own tank just for her A little 22L Aquaone nano tank.

Ah yeah, I went to research them and had read that and how they are incredibly difficult to breed! So nevermind haha!

Also just seen my Amano shrimp is pregnant. :eek: dum dum dummmmmm!

Thanks Byron! Il have a think about what to do. I like the idea of the dwarf rasbora. They're tiny just like the cherry shrimp so maybe don't add too much to the bioload like cherries but I definitely don't want to feel like I'm overstocking. Il probably do one or the other. Any recommendation...

So I had to remove my Betta from my community tank as she started to get more and more aggressive recently. Fine for over 6 months but the past couple weeks she's changed. Saw her attack a few shrimp in quick succession and that was her out. She's now in her own 25l tank and I think will be...

Yeah haha! Is just a tiny airstone to help move the water around alittle, since it's such a small volume of water its doing a good job of circulating it so far anyway.

Thanks so much!

Aw awesome! And they'll be ok in a coldwater tank without a heater?

If I can yeah, was thinking potentially cherry shrimp. Not sure how many I would be able to have in it though, if any? It's a cold water tank as it's abit too small n oddly shaped to add a heater I think

Wow thanks so much!! I honestly get alot of enjoyment out of making them haha Yeah they're so cool! I ordered mine online. I love that theyre really unique and that each one will be different to the next. so you never know what shape they'll be when they arrive but that's kinda cool

So I had this one gallon bowl for awhile and never had anything to go in it. Yesterday I got super bored so I figured I'd finally do something and here's my tinie tiny 1gallon scape. :D Couple of marimo moss balls Fine sand substrate A couple Bacopa cut offs from my main tank and a couple of...

Well I seem to be losing the battle with BGA recently. Covers my hairgrass and I'm constantly picking it out. Lights have always been on a 24 hours full spectrum from night, dawn, full and dusk but I have now put them on a timer so that light is only on for 7 hours to see if that helps. I...

Since my tanks quite shallow I had to cut the tube alittle to be just under the water line.. is this looking ok? As I say there doesn't seem to be much of a flow around the tank. If not would removing the tube help or hinder even more? Sorry, I'm pretty new to these filters! If there isn't...
