    The UK is just as weird to be fair: jellied eels, stargazey pie, pease pudding, black pudding 🤢 grim

    Its completely bizarre...almost as strange as 'keto coffee' that has a dollop of butter floating on the top 🤢

    Ammonia Added But Cycle Yet Still Hasn’t Started

    Prime detoxifies ammonia for a couple of days I think...but don't start your cycle with food. Rather buy ammonia in a bottle, it's much easier and you'll have more control

    What is this?

    Yup, it stinks

    Alright, you Americans are doing my head in...what is it with you lot putting pumpkin in everything?? Why are you putting pumpkin in your coffee?! And they're scones, not biscuits 🧐

    What is this?

    It does look like cyanobacteria 🤔 like all good problem solvers, you're going to have to take a sample and investigate...the scratch and sniff test works well

    White spot

    Be sure you know for definite what you're treating for before you start chucking meds in. Post a picture if you can so we can help you out. White spot can be cured without meds usually so hold off until we can identify what's going on

    Beginner - 200L - Aspiring to create vibrant Community Tank

    The best way to fill an empty tank is to add live plants. It's not as daunting as it feels! There are some really easy growing plants that will look great in there and the fish will love it too, I'd definitely recommend some floating plants as well as they'll give the fish some head cover and...

    How Do You Introduce Fish to your Tank?

    It can take weeks for fish to get used to their new water so adding tank water to the bag little by little does nothing but prolong the process.... I float the bag with the lights off to get the temperature the same, then I cut the bag and pour it into a net over a bucket and put the fish into...

    Beginner - 200L - Aspiring to create vibrant Community Tank

    Hello matey, do you know what your water hardness is? As you may be aware, there are hard water fish and soft water fish...so knowing what you're dealing with can help us recommend you some 👍🏻

    I'm glad you cleared that up, I did wonder if you were the one in light-blue 🤔

    Hello 👋🏻 glowlight danios are very colourful and can live in cooler water...they'll be fine in your water too

    No WC tanks

    So you've answered your own question 👍🏻 if you're in the middle of nowhere and drink the rainwater yourself then go for it. Not everyone can do that is what I was saying, although I live rurally there is a major road not far from us and our air quality isn't the best...so using collected...

    No WC tanks

    I don't know if I would use rainwater in a tank 🤔 if you lived in the middle of no where away from traffic then I imagine it would be safe

    No WC tanks

    By all means stuff your tanks with terrestrial plants, they look great and do a good job, buy even they need minerals and trace elements that fresh water provides

    Starting up first tank

    And just to add...the fish shop people are not your friends and they don't know their butts from their eyebrows a lot of the time. They want your money and a lot don't care how they get it. So their advice, no matter how sincere they seem, should always be taken with a hefty pinch of salt. Save...

    No WC tanks

    I think people who don't want to do water changes should choose a different hobby. I would prefer to drink fresh, clean water instead of just topping up and sipping from a glass I've had on the go for a year or more. Passing it through a filter, adding conditioners and a pothos for luck doesn't...

    Starting up first tank

    Hello there 👋🏻 I would say the tank was too small personally. Have you already bought the tank or is this question part of your research? The advice I'd give to new hobbiests is to learn the nitrogen cycle, accept that (to start with) its better to keep fish that do well in your water rather...

    Bunny went through trash!

    I would look into making his hutch or whatever you've got him in more secure if he's managing to escape it. Today it's the rubbish bin, tomorrow it's electrical wires

    Is this Amano shrimp preganant

    She'll release them when the larvae hatch. My fish buffet on them so yours probably will too

    Is this Amano shrimp preganant

    Very good, yes it's female and she's got a heck load of eggs on her...otherwise known as 'berried'

    Is this Amano shrimp preganant

    Oh I see. On closer inspection, I think it's a male 😳 it's hard to see with the lighting but females have dashes along their bodies, males have dots

    Unfortunately Amano shrimplets won't survive in freshwater, so don't get your hopes up

    Let's talk Substrate

    The active soils will eventually run out of nutrients but will initially give plants a boost in the beginning. Most plants do well in just sand or fine gravel with root tabs placed evenly beneath them and a decent liquid fertiliser, it depends on what plants you're growing and what kind of set...
