    Harlequin Rasbora In Hard Water?

    Its nice that you are putting the fish first, not like a lot of people who just mix and match any type of fish in their tanks. If you could see my Harlequins whizzing round my tank you would see that they are more than happy, and they came from my local P@H store so the way I see it is that I...

    Harlequin Rasbora In Hard Water?

    But if you take into account that they will be sold to someone else who will more than likely keep them in local tap water anyway and probably a new uncycled tank, it's not so bad.

    Harlequin Rasbora In Hard Water?

    Firstly the info given by nmonks is better than anything I can tell you, but just for your info I have had 8 Harlequin Rasbora's in my community tank for around a year (which has a PH of 8.2) they have done very well and have grown huge. Also they are the only species of fish that I have not...

    Suitable Tank Mates For Community Tank

    In my experiance Betta's (Siamese Fighting Fish) do not go very well with fast moving fish like Danio's or Tetra's. Also Neon Tetra can be nippy when kept in small groups, and a Betta would make an easy target for any fin nipping.

    Question For Uk Shoppers (in General)

    What you are saying is correct and I agree with you, but unfortunatly there is not much that can be done against the big corperations that tend to dominate their chosen market places, and as the old saying goes "if you cant beat them join them" All I know is that the shop that is 100 yards from...

    Question For Uk Shoppers (in General)

    Sorry if I offended you, I was just voicing my opinion. In this day in age people look to save money where ever possible, so if a local shop shuts because a super store is selling goods for less than them it does not boher me in the slightest. Its a dog eat dog world and people/busineses need...

    Question For Uk Shoppers (in General)

    The missus shops at Asda regularly because it is convienient, 95% of what is needed is all under one roof so it saves time not having to go travel round different shops. She has the choice to shop whereever she wants but Asda seems to be her choice, we have a Sainsburys near by which she will...

    Puffer Operation Tolls Needed

    There is a vid on youtube where a guy uses nail clippers on his SAP's so would assume they would be fine for your puffers. If you ask the question in the oddball section Neil Monks will more than likely give you the best advice.

    Fluval Roma 200, Jungle Scape

    Updated picture just to keep the journal ticking along, Upgraded the lighting from T8's to T5's and the plants now pearl heavily every day. Still a Jungle with no real organisation which the missus says reminds her of me, lol The extra light is making the moss grow outwards rather than the...

    Cleaning External Filters And Water Clarity

    Are you cleaning the filter floss thoroughly? or are you replacing it? And how do you clean the filter out? (what process do you follow) when ever I clean my externals I replace the floss and make sure I empty out all the water and crud that is trapped at the bottom, then after I put the...

    Upgrading To T5's

    Hello, I have just upgraded the lighting on my Roma 200 to T5's, I use pressurized Co2 and I can say the lighting upgrade was very worth while. My plants now pearl heavily every day, where as with the T8's they would only pearl slightly. Also the light now reaches the bottom of my tank so I...

    Too Much Flow For My Tetras? Video Included

    Look happy to me, just check that when the lights are out during the night they are able to hang out in a spot where they can get some rest from the flow.

    What Else Can I Have In My Goldfish Tank?

    IMO the answer to your question is you should not add any other fish to the tank, 1 goldfish is more than enough for a 10 gallon tank.

    Pogostemon Helferi

    I honestly don't want to be rude but 3 pots could be purchased from most P@H stores for around a tenner and 3 pots worth would have around 20 stems. Just felt I should point it out. Sorry mate.
  21. Livewire88

    Why Isn't The Message Getting Through?

    I agree with you 100%, P@H seem to be the only fish store that I go to that question you about your tank and ask all the correct questions. Every other shop just sells you what you want and a lot give poor advice on what fish should be in your tank.

    Ro Water

    Also you need to either mix your RO water with tap water to add the required minerals/trace elements, or if using 100% RO you will need to add a remineral mix, you should never keep fish in pure 100% RO water. I add this to RO water for my Crystal Red Shrimp tank...

    Top Ten Betta's ?

    Very Nice, but I was thinking pure White or pure Black

    Top Ten Betta's ?

    Well I just love White Bettas, also Black they are both hard to come buy so if you could breed either you should make a fair bit of money.

    6 Cardinals Dead, White Poo. Help :(

    By the sounds of it your filter is not cycled so your fish are likley dieing because they are swimming round in their own poo and wee. Have a read of the beginners section and pay special attention to the fish in cycle section. http://www.fishforum...ish-in-cycling/ Cardinal Tetras are...

    What Is My Plant? Why Is It Furry? Will It Survive A Fishless Cycle?

    Hello and welcome to the forum, its a shame you have not yet had any advice but I will try and help. First of all the plants you have in your tank are Vallisneria. Second, it seems that your plants are melting, this may be because they are adjusting to your water, the murky water could be a...
