My old filter was a little one the stuck inside the tank whereas the new one runs along the inside of the lid of the tank so o can't get any of the old to fit in the new one :/ lol

Got my water test results, the only thing they said was a bit of a problem was slightly higher nitrates. They also said the protozin shouldn't have harmed the shrimps as they use it in all the tanks at the shop including shrimp ones and they're fine. They said the shrimps can be particularly...

I know its a bit addictive, was just meant to ne a little tank now I'm on 90l lol. Even tempted not to sell my old 28l tank incase I have room to set it up again lol. have still got my old filter, is it still worth running the two together even after I squeezed the filter sponge into the new water?

Ok, hopefully ill have the water test results today. Bit frustrating really, my old tank was my first so I'm fairly new to this. When it came to changing tanks I asked advice of my lfs, and said is it best to leave the fish it the old tank for a bit. But I was told there was no need to do it and...

Thanks just praying she /he survives my tank change

I used to have a 28litre tank with a siamese fighter, 2x albino cory, a couple of algea eating shrimp, and about 5 neons and they were all good together

What I meant was I squeezed out my old filter sponge into the new tank (new tank is an aqua one with a built in filter) and left it in the new water while I set it all up. :) It's protozin, can't remember the brand name, ill check and let you know

Thank you :P Would you agree its female?

Just upgrade my 28L tank to a 90L. It's only been running since Sunday with the same fish as my old tank: 1x Ram, 4x Algae eating shrimp, 2x Albino Cory, 8x Neons, 1x Bristlnose Pleco I think I have lost 2 shrimps since the change. Used all the water from the old tank, and even left my old...

Also, just upgraded my tank from a 28L to a 90L (23Gallon I think).

Got her from my LFS and was told she's a Ram. Being fairly new to fish keeping, I didnt realise there were different varieties. So i did some research on the web but found conflicting opinions?! Two site show photos of identical fish, one is labelled Bolivian the other GBR? I thought she was GBR...

Oh ok thanks

My lfs has some small little rams of some kind, not sure exactly what they are though? Some a yellowy with red a across the eyes and some are silver? Are ideas? And will they go in with my guys do you think?

Just upped my heater to about 27c. I also have neons and corys so im thinking theyll be fine at that temp *fingers crossed*

Love this one!!!

So maybe I would be better getting another female gbr and a male dg

Oh ok, so the more 'pretty' DGs, the ones generally in shops are all males?

Why more Corys? just out of interest. I do enjoy watching my two, very active little guys

Oh ok, no female DGs then? I would think I have room, just at the moment theyve just moved into a 90l (23 gallon), and it seems completely empty in there lol. I will try and upload a picture of the tank maybe

What other fish so you have in the tank at that temp?

Lol. Well I think I will put the temp up a little, and see how the water test goes. I'll just have to keep an eye on her. She seems much happier in the larger tank now though, I've used a lot plants as I believe the gbrs like it well planted

Unsure of my ph, only just changed the tank, so I'm getting my water tested at the shop during the week Just replied on the other forum too :) ill try and stick to this one lol

Sorry this is confusing as a posted the forum twice accidents :/ I see, will the other fish in my tank be ok with a higher temp? It's always been ay 25c if I up it shall I just do it gradually over a few days? Lol by healthy I just mean they are all colourful and active and eating normally lol

My tank has always been around 25c :/ had her about 4 months or more thought and seems healthy as anything, very colourful and active and eating well. Perhaps she was in a lower temp at the shop too? Bit confusing as I absently posted this forum twice lol

Thanks guys. My tanks at about 25 c but they all are in perfect health

Thanks :) how do you sex the dgs? Moat shops don't so ill have to figure it out myself

Ok, so I recently upgraded my 28l tank to a 90l tank. Still got a small number of fish at the moment: 8 neons, 2 albino corys, 4 algae eating shrimp ,a bristle nose and my female German blue ram. When I bought her, she was the only one in the tank and I didn't know exactly what she was. Done...
