I can test the tap water now, I'll put a picture in a minute. Pretty sure that one is a sword but I also have no idea. The man gave me the Tropica so I used it because I had it spare, I'm going to start using about half the amount it recommends, apparently it's a very strong one or something...

It's some sort of bacopa, apparently it doesn't need co2 and before you said you would never use it? So I won't either. I use the Tropica Premium Nutrition, the tank has only been running for about 2 weeks and there are fish living in it. I use root tabs too, don't know which type, I found...

I have a few questions. First of all, some of the top leaves on some of my plants have turned pink. I did some research about this and found out it means they need more nitrates. I have only noticed this today as I was away on the weekend, I haven't the leaves like this before. Should I maybe...

Pretty sure it appeared when she got stuck. I think it's just rubbed off scales, none of the other fish have anything like it.

What type of fish is this? I thought he was a peacock eel, I looked at a few more pictures and he doesn't seem to have the 'eyes' on his body.

I'll keep her alone then. Do you have any idea what's wrong with her scales or mouth?

Really? Does it need friends then

I have a question, my female swordtail eats a lot. She is about 3 inches long. She is rather fat, I'm not sure if shes pregnant or just overweight. I rescued her from a friend, she was living in a very small tank with a single plastic plant and two other very unhappy fish. A guppy and a platy...

Okay, I'll continue feeding them like usual. 50% seems like so much water! 50% - 70%? I'm fine with that if its every month... every week or two seems like so much. Should I leave it for about two more weeks (bringing it to a month) of having the filter in use and then seeing how clean it is...

Are the guppies possibly hungry? Only a few do it at one time, I can try to film it tomorrow or whenever they do it next. How much water should I take out when doing a water change? A thing about water conditioner, if I clean 50l, do I add 50l worth of tap water conditioner or 200l? In my...

Okay thank you so much, people were saying different things which was confusing. So its perfectly fine to clean the filter in regular tap water? How often did you say I should clean it? The fish I have dont create much waste and I never over feed them. Did you say every month or so? I always...

It's a hydra 50. I have put all of the water from my 70l in the 200l, twice so I think there should be some bacteria This is what it looks like and info

I have put all of the water of my 70l into the 200l, twice. So there is some bacteria I think?

How should I clean my filter and when? I used to have a 70l uk filter and I cleaned it fully with tap water. Apparently that's really bad? I now have a 200l uk tank with a powerful filter for 500l - 800l. I've only had the tank running for about 2 weeks. I decided to do a fish in cycle, all of...

Oh okay, maybe that's what I have then? Just coated in algae haha

Oh... oops, I put it all in at once. It died straight away, didnt seem to have any bad reaction. Saying that, I put about 12 drops in for a tiny guppy.

Really?? Everywhere says about 1-2 years and 3 is like amazing

What happens if one adds the clove oil all at once?

It is on topic though, it's about the same thing the person is talking about

Definitely not bladder snails, it's about 4 years old I think. Also about an inch or possibly more. I dont think my tank is overcrowded... pretty sure they are nerite snails. I do sort of have an infestation of trumpet snails. They're quite helpful though so I'm not too bothered. Edit: Just...

I usually try once, then give up.
