    Hello other fin parents

    I love the length of your tank! Bet fish love it too. Really nice set up :wub: I'm hoping to DIY something for my toddler to have in the tank so looking forward to update on the caves. Well done!

    I purchased an injured Cherry Barb

    I respected her bossiness and not letting her injury make her the weak one in the group. Turns out I was cheering on sexual harassment?

    I purchased an injured Cherry Barb

    Update on Peggy. As she got better she was bossing other females. She still looked darker so I thought her colour would lighten when healed. She's healed with a slight scar. And her colour has actually darkened. I think Peggy is a Pete.

    Pregnant molly?

    White stringy poop is likely mean worms. Which I think are common enough with livebearers. I had to do worming treatment recently on a livebearer tank. @AdoraBelle Dearheart did too. Here's good post from @Colin_T about white poop...

    Pregnant molly?

    Might be. If she keeps getting bigger and has normal (not white) poop then i guess she is.

    Lovely tank. @Colin_T is the ICH expert.

    Need help with new 50 gallon tank

    I'm pretty such your water is too hard for cory. Rainbowfish, platy, Endlers, mollies, guppies (careful not to mix genders of Endlers & guppies as they can crossbreed). Your current water hardness limits your fish stock choices. Lovely big tank so I would look at creating a Rainbowfish tank...

    Hello other fin parents

    Welcome :hi: would love to see pics. I'd love to have my tank beside my chair so I could ignore tv and stare at fish comfortably instead. My tanks for now are in kitchen/diner area high enough out of toddler reach. I love Plecos so much. What other fish did you add?

    Hello fish friends!

    Luckily no earthquakes here. We're very mild climate, no earthquakes, no mental scary spiders and creatures :rofl:

    We have a wage subsidy here too but it's not matching what people earn. Couples with high rent & mortgage fees there's a lot of stress out there.

    Hello fish friends!

    Ah no I'm sure OP appreciates quick reply. I was quite nervous adding my large rock to the tank but thankfully it sit nicely and as yet hadn't cracked the tank :rofl:

    Coronavirus...post your thoughts here...

    I really wish we'd taken a similar approach. Back in late January, early Feb we knew it was coming abd refused to shut airports. School trips to Italy brought this disease here first we still never shut airports. We couldn't locked the country down early on and starved this virus of a host...

    Hello fish friends!

    A nice high stack of rocks gives a very natural look. I would add more plants, of there's not much room with rocks then try adding floating plants @itiwhetu in the evening i turn room lights off and keep tank lights on and take photo with no flash. You'll get a clearer image of tank then with...

    Hand Sanitisers & Aquariums?

    Many reasons to put hands in a tank and to use disposable gloves each time in hugely wasteful. Plus if I'm reaching to bottom of my tank to push a root tab in then my whole arm goes in. Sometimes a plant uproots & the tools aren't enough to fix it. So again my whole arm goes in. My toddler...

    Coronavirus...post your thoughts here...

    Cough and sore throat are symptoms of an illness that has poor outcomes for older adults, especially those with preexisting health conditions. It's not paranoid. It's sensible. Glad the cough is gone @Colin_T & it was a passing bug.

    He needs a name

    Rua (pronounced Roo Ah) is Irish for Red.

    Advice: Two filters in 50 gallon? Too much filtration?

    I run two filters in my 34G/127L tank. I like having the two though tempted by one big external like one @Ch4rlie has his eye on. @Wills covered the hard water fish. Here's some info I had on fish suited to your water hardness.

    Hand Sanitisers & Aquariums?

    Yeah this is the ingredient that caused the recall and questions about why it was included at all. Our national health service & department of education had supply contracts for Virapro. Schools have shut over this until new Sanitiser can be sourced.

    Hand Sanitisers & Aquariums?

    Virapro Hand Sanitiser was just recalled here by our Dept. Of Agriculture & Foods. It had been supplied to schools but a recall issued. Prolonged use can cause skin irritation, headaches, eye irritation & upper respiratory system irritation. Virapro Hand Sanitiser ingredients: Aqua, Alcohol...

    New tank plan -> feedback and advice appreciated!!

    Might be worth looking at RO water. @seangee, @Wills would that lower PH?

    New tank plan -> feedback and advice appreciated!!

    I've both at sand and limpopo Black Sand in my tanks. The play sand is finer & much cheaper. I really like the dark sand & it lends a very peaceful vibe to that tank. I like lots of plants. @AdoraBelle Dearheart got me hooked! I like Cryptocoryne plants, some Echinodorus, floating plants like...

    Hand Sanitisers & Aquariums?

    How's your boy? I'm sure it's been distressing for him too. I'm gonna be extra careful from now on. It's so easy to forget or for little ones to act quickly.

    Hand Sanitisers & Aquariums?

    I've put my hands in tank few hours after sun tan lotion and also after using hand sanitiser. Haven't had issues thankfully but I try to be more careful and wash my hands with water before going near tanks. Hand sanitiser is only advised when soap & water can't be used re: coronavirus...
