    New To The Forum.

    hi and welcome to the forum. take a look in the cycling section of the forum as this is what you will need to do before adding any fish. even though the filters and tank are used, and will have had bacteria needed to keep the tank stable, if they have been left to dry out or even kept wet and...

    Help With My Blue Acara

    cichlids can sometimes be a but fussy about their partners and adding a male with a female doesnt guarentee any success in breeding. this is why most peoples recomendations would be to buy a group of 6 giving you a good chance of getting both sexes and growing them up together and letting them...

    Distressed Discus

    i hope she pulls through for you mate. just a word of warning about stroking fish as it can easilly remove slime coat from them which can be a bad thing as this is their method of defence against illness etc so i wouldnt do it too often or at all if it were me....

    Distressed Discus

    i wouldnt risk it in with gouramis in a 95L tbh, my experience with gouramis isnt great though so i class them all as evil...... if the discus is number 6 in reference to your other topics then if hes not settled by now i would think about quarentine and treatment. if hes feeding well then it...

    Wild Red Spotted Peru Angelfish Tank

    they seem to be ok, a bit wary but thats to be expected i think especially with wild fish. having the other 4 in already has helped also i think, although it means hierachy battles from day 1 which isnt ideal. the rescape wasnt just for a more pleasing on the eye look but to break up any...

    I Want To Add Another Fish But Not Sure What?

    the larger one may become the dominant ram but 1 has to be so not too much of an issue. i hope they are as active and colourfull as mine are in a group for you :good:

    I Want To Add Another Fish But Not Sure What?

    i would just add the new rams into the tank they arent an overly aggressive cichlid and will sort out their hierachy pretty quick. there are many topics about sexing rams on the forum at the minute, one has some good pics too. the best way is to check the breeding tubes but if the fish are very...

    Another Boring Stocking Question ?

    8x clown loach 2x bala shark 1x electric blue ram 2x platys 1x bristlenose plec the clown loaches and bala sharks will eventually get too big for a 5x2x2 and as said they really need to be in groups so with their potential size they will fill your tank on their own :crazy: many people buy...

    I Want To Add Another Fish But Not Sure What?

    what has to be understood here is that most fish will be much more comfortable in bigger groups of the same species. my rams are amazing to watch in the group of 7 that i have, my angels are much more colourfull in the group of 8 and act more natural, and my cardinals in a group of 25 are...

    Do Fish Sometimes Flash For No Reason?

    dont just treat tanks for ich just because your fish are flashing. if there is an issue with health then be 100% sure that you know what you are dealing with before chucking meds in the tank. fish will flash now and then. it could just be an itch or an irritation just like we would get. maybe a...

    I Want To Add Another Fish But Not Sure What?

    i would go with another bolivian ram, maybe 2 more. add to the cardinals, they look so much better in a bigger group and will add so much more to the tank. as wills said loaches or corys would be a good addition, polkadot loaches are real good characters and stunning fish. maybe a group of 4...

    yes the holes appear small then just get bigger. so far ive reduced the lighting by removing 1 of the 3 units and reduced the flow and aggitation in the tank. i did a rescape on saturday and i had a few swords that hadnt been effected by the holes, after moving them the holes appeared the next...
