This is a pic of tank 6 with some the the nanostomus trifasciatus. The pic doesn't do them justice. I'm having trouble getting decent pics of this tank. I need to be very close to the glass as there isn't room to stand back. I need to keep practising I think The camera is foreshortening the...

Maybe cut out feeding him for a couple of days to see if that helps, other than that no ideas. Hope he gets better

I've got them from a few places. I'll check out the sellers and let you know. I've used 3 recently on ebay and was happy with them all. Shrimp-land - Bought 10 Taiwan bee mischlings All alive, good variety of colours, fairly small though Topkits23777 - Bought 10 fire red cherry shrimp, All...

Funny you should mention that, I've been thinking about getting them to go in the tank with sand substrate. I get all my shrimps online, so far I've only had healthy ones in the bags.

Yeah the bottom left has an arcadia stretch light. I am planning on running a pipe along above the tanks from my air pump and just dropping the airlines straight down but the wires are a problem. They are safe enough and do the job but I agree they could look better.

Got my electrics in at last and finally some inhabitants. Tank 1 (top left) has my 3 surviving Crystal Shrimp, 1 of the 10 that I started with and 2 that were born in my tank. I had a disaster that wiped out most of my shrimps. My own fault but hopefully a mistake I won't repeat. Tank 2 has 22...

Hello, I hope you will find this forum more welcoming than the others.

Probably better with pellets rather than flakes as some will sink to the bottom for the cories.

Have you worked out what to do with any fry that you raise?

Welcome back to the hobby, I did much the same after a 20 year break and so far have managed to accumulate 10 tanks in the 2 1/2 years since I came back to it. I used to keep mostly cichlids, but since I've been back I find I'm more interested in planted aquariums, smaller fish and now shrimp...

I'd disagree with that statement.

Nice result. Maybe you should think about selling them to your LFS instead of feeding them to guppies?

It doesn't look good. I'm wondering if it is a heater burn.

They come in a variety of sizes to fit common sizes of tanks, ie 3ft 4ft. They are fairly easy to cut and can be fixed on with silicone sealer.

Really like frontosa, one of my favourite Africans.

Some bare bits lower down the stems, maybe not enough light getting through.

I don't know the answer to your question, but the slime remover doesn't seem to affect any of my plants or other algaes. Blue green algae isn't actually an algae anyway so it could be it only kills that particular "thing"

While I agree with the previous posts, in that size of tank, you could put around 6 juvenile angels. Its fairly easy to spot a pair that have bonded before they get too large. As long as you are prepared to rehome the others then it should be relatively easy to keep a pair of angels.

Breeding guppies isn't the hard bit. Breeding a good strain of guppies is. Maximising the number of living fry is pointless unless they are of a good enough quality that you can move them on to your local LFS or elsewhere. The likelihood, unless you have a proven strain, is that you will end up...

Very nice, Is this for filtering a tank?

I plant it in the substrate, it grows to the surface then spreads along the top of the water. It grows very quickly. I had some that were over 3 foot long.

I was thinking more of a plastic takeaway container, but if you have room for it I think Byrons idea would work better.

My lights turned up at last, a bit smaller than they looked in the advert but hopefully they will be fine I Fixed them all onto my overhead strut that the sockets and air manifold are also going onto. Its going to be a few weeks before I put fish or shrimp in but I've started planting the tanks...

You're very welcome, happy to help.

Look like it to me. I'd put them in a small container and float it in the tank with an airstone with minimal flow. Lots of water changes, a turkey baster would be good for this. Take the water from the big tank to replace what you take out. When they hatch microworms are a good first food. Once...

Good spot

Yeah, deformed mouths are a common side affect of inbreeding. I don't think there's anything you can do about it.

Look interesting. I'd check thoroughly that they aren't harbouring any unwanted hitchhikers before putting them in a tank.

Love them. I like the idea too of using snails in place of substrate.

I had a similar experience with a female angel. I took it to be a swim bladder disorder. I put her in a small tank I had with a few inches of water and treated her with King British swim bladder control. She lay on her side for about 3 weeks and I was close to giving up on her but one day she...
