Equipment make/model/size: Marina 96 litre tank (95 long x 32 deep x 39 high (46 high with hood) - in cm). Plus: Heater, in tank pump (interpet one), air pump, round air stone and bubble wall bar, airline, a spare heater, 2 pieces of presoaked mopani root, and I can throw in 2 ornaments (tiki...

its at 50 due to it being overdue a water change. My main tank at home gets to 50 sometimes and the fish in my home tank are fine (the tank at home is planted). Can DG disease lie dormant? as the fish is well over a year old ad hasn't been with other gouramis since I got him. RIP Jagger, the...

Yesterday morning, I came into work and my Dwarf Gourami was swimming funny (slightly on his side), but through the day he picked up and was himself. I come in this morning.. no fish at the glass to greet me, no cute little feelers waving at me through the glass... He's on the bottom of the...

you can get red dwarf gouramis which are really nice, but you can only have 1 of the brighter coloured males, as they fight. Agreed on the black widows, I was warned away from them by a friend and 2 lfs's. Phantoms are beautiful. As for bottom dwellers, what about panda corys? or skunk...

I'm after a Fluval Roma 90... and with there being 2 different cabinet styles, you can pick something more suited to your living room. But you also have to decide whether you want a tank with corners (like the roma) or one of the "uninterrupted views" tanks (like the Aqua One Aquastyle range).

A lot of your fish are not suitable for a 60 litre, and you seem to have far too many fish for a tank that small, for example: Bolivian rams: 75 litre minimum African Puffer: What species? Knowing what continent it's from and its species are 2 different things. Most puffers need a large species...

only had one death. I'm sure I saw a female with a darker tummy, but havent seen her for a couple of days. I'll let you know if I see and babies :)

oooooh that was faster than I thought. A week is perfect for me to get my plastic mesh to mount it to :D Will sort your payment later Al (am at work at the mo). PM your paypal etc and I'll sort it asap.

out of curiousity, do you have a bigger tank to move the loaches to? I've recently asked for stocking advice for my new 90litre (20 gallon), and I was advised against Kuhlis as they get too big (4 inches+)

I have clown killi's. Its just really odd as they skim the top all the time so I rarely see them. It's making me rethink them for my 90 litre

odd question, but... do killi's normally spend most of their time skimming the surface? Because apart from the odd venture downwards, mine are constantly at the top. They're not gasping and there is enough oxygen in the water, I just don't get why they stay there.

2 males will fight til one (or both from injuries) are dead. As with guppies, if you pick your fish carefully, you can get some females that are more interesting than others. You just have to be patient and look

any left?

I don't mind travelling on recommendation of good healthy fish. I got lost in sheffield trying to find a fish place there on recommendation of people that travel from miles and miles away to get there. Unfortunately that place has shut down now :(

Tizer, you use cat litter as a substrate? o_O I'm tempted to find a very fine smooth gravel. I've seen a couple advertised online, but I'd need to get my hands on a bag to see just how small and smooth it really is.

I'm going to use either maidenhead or kesgrave for my pygmys, they'll have to come through the post as I dont live near either, but both come highly recommended. Tribalbrit, whats the name of the store in nottingham?

ahhh ok... so, cories are planned for my 90litre so hopefully that'll be ok. You're right though, it stinks to high heaven!! :(

cheers al :)

*gulps* I'm guessing they died THEN the shrimp started to eat them? o_O

you need to get it out somehow. I'm sorry but if loosening your filter is a no no, then you have no other choice but to poke it out. What about a flat lollypop stick? or an ear cotton bud? Can you gently but firmly pull the filter? Even the slightest increase in space might free it. You really...

I had the same problem. Ich, but didn't want to kill my beloved shrimp. I upped the temp to 28 degrees (it quickens the life span of the white spot parasite), and I dosed with a half dose. Also, leave your lights off for as long as you can. *Edit* Took out the link to my post, I remembered I...

Hey I've just been vaccing the work tank, and decided to shift a few things around to give the fish something "new" to explore, however, when I moved the bogwood, the sand was dirty looking and brown/black underneath. I thought it might be the top layer, but I got all the way to the bottom of...

which pump(s?) do you have?

I was thinking of a foam or polystyrene seat for it, then it isn't directly on the table/surface

I wont need any for a week or so, hence why I said it was a shame. Put some in a freezer bag with some tank water and seal it, then in a jiffy bag. First class should be ok.

yeah I have a little section already cut which was from the donator filter. But it's a 90 litre I'm after so I could do with a bigger boost

ARGH I could do with some when my new tank arrives to help it cycle but it's not here yet :(

eep!!

Hi all... so I'm seriously getting into this aquascaping lark (I don't even have my tank yet haha) but I have a "to scale" floor plan sketched out and an idea of how it will look in my head. As it is going to go in my bedroom, I would like some stuff (like the airpump for the bubble wall) to...

There's a store near me that's part of "The Range" group, and they have 2+ large fancy goldfish in tanks 10 gallon and smaller, in murky water, with far too many ornaments in there. It makes me want to be sick. The worst thing is, the fish aren't for sale, so they'll never leave until they die...

hmmm if they're that small are Boraras brigittae the same size? if so I may need to rethink numbers for my own 90 litre lol

ohhhh.. errm... is there any way you can get your finger in to try and poke him out? Have you taken the dead tetra out?

what tank do you have where you cant easily remove the filter?

Anymore of this available froth? Would love to try my hand at a vertical wall of this

Al, if you get anymore ready I'll have some. That £10 lump looks like just what I'm after, but one of the original ones will tide me over. I'm wanting to start a carpet ready for my upgrade tank. I'll try and keep an eye on this thread.

lol @ the fish having fun comments :D My guppies ADORE the filter current, and you can practically hear them squeal in delight when I press the button on top of the fliter that makes the outlet blow bubbles too :D they shoot through it and swim with it, then against it, while the tetras just...

are they safe to use? Ive heard good things but I'm always worried about ordering online :S

What do you have that's ready to drop? From what I've read when I was going to breed my guppies, I would get a breeding net (a big cube netted box thing you put in the tank) with mum in it, until she drops the fry. Then you take mum out (so she doesn't eat them) and either move the fry to a...

:D eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fishies!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I need to talk to my LFS about getting me the pygmys, killis and chillis :D Need to make sure they can actually get them. Or find somewhere not too far and a polystyrene box and go gets me some :D Seeing as the member on here hasn't got back to...

I guess I'm just worried about excess pressure on the glass in the places with clay due to uneven weight distribution
