    Platinum Tetras Or Harlequin Rasbora

    platinums for me too... i had a group of 20 of these fish and they are stunning, they almost looked like someone had painted them chrome. there are 2 species that get confused with each other when being labelled up at lfs so be sure to get the better looking of the 2. mine also grew bigger than...

    Wanted -Tall Healthy Vallis

    there is no 'big fuss' rich but when you say you will be sending me some plants and someone else posts on my advert that they have recieved the plants after ive paid for them it leaves people thinking...... after saying there were 6-7 plants available, if some have been sent to another member...

    Wanted -Tall Healthy Vallis

    our conversation went to pm after he notified me what he had for sale and it was all arranged before you commented so i dont think speed has much to do with it tbh. also if you want something then please post your own advert in the future instead of steaming in on another. sometimes people...

    Angelfish Problem

    try moving the decor around to remove any teritories that the old angel has made. by doing this they will have to start again and there will not be a dominant fish. 2 can be a tricky number to have as 1 will become the dominant fish and the other will feel bullied at times which can effect its...

    Think Angels Have Paired

    what size is the tank? it may be a case of removing the odd one out if they have paired..... adding more will certainly spread any aggression tank size permitting.

    Ph Increase .... Why?!

    have you tested the water from the tap at all? have you added any new items into the tank recently, like new substrate or decor etc? do you use any chemicals in the tank? if so what?

    Another Stocking Thread

    nice choice of cory :good: the rams are only 100% sexable by their tubes. generally the female may be slightly less colourfull and not as big as the male but when buying young fish this is hard to go on. with cichlids it is better to get more females than males to spread out the chasing by the...

    Whats Happening To My Plants?

    ive just adjusted the filter heads to ease the aggetation on the surface. is that all i will need Ian, just carbon? would something like easycarbo be ok or is there something else? any ferts? TPN+ flourish etc? after using the carbon will i be able to turn the 3rd light back on or shall i...

    Whats Happening To My Plants?

    the filters have not been touched so the aggitation is still the same. ill try reducing the surface movement and see if it helps :good:

    Another Stocking Thread

    golden rams will require higher temps of 28-30 which is fine for the angels and rummynose. all rams are cichlids at the end of the day and will have squabbles among each other for hierachy or potential mates which is why its always best to get a decent group, they also are more active when in a...

    Noob Question.

    also something to think about is that the fx5 pipework is very wide and when I had it on my roma 240 the lid wouldn't shut properly. So unless you have a wooden lift off type hood I would do some measuring and work out if the pipework including bracket which is essential will fit and the floppy...

    Noob Question.

    i had an FX5 briefly on a 4ft 240L tank and it was a bit overkill tbh. on a 3ft tank i would imagine you would have to turn it down quite a bit to prevent the fish thinking they were in the middle of a whirl pool... if this happens to be the case then its not really worth getting such a...

    Clean Up Crew For Cichlid Tank

    Fx5 Filter

    ok then i would just use the white sponges that fit around each basket and ceramic rings. dont overfill the baskets and leave a nice gap between the top layer of ceramics in each basket and the bottom of the above basket for best results :good:

    Snowball Plec

    most plecs are very well known to hide im affraid, they are mainly a nocturnal fish.... people spend lots of cash on a beautifull plec and never see it :crazy: i dont think the pictus will allow the plec a good chance to feed even if it did come out tbh. the pictus i had were very extremely...

    Fx5 Filter

    i take it the media you have is cycled and you just want to swap it over.... the FX5 works slightly different to most other filters. the white sponges sit around the edge of the baskets which is quite obvious. then i would put the ceramic rings in the bottom and top basket and then squeeze your...

    Water Testing

    ive kept discus, tetra, corys and all sorts of apparent acidic loving fish in my tap water very successfully even breeding the corys and angels at one time. i currently keep rays and wild angels with no issues so dont be put off just acclimatise them well before adding them to the tank :good:

    Water Testing

    i wouldnt try reducing it as a non fluctuating pH is much better and safer for your fish. most fish will tolerate a pH of 7.6 so dont worry too much :good:

    Ammonia Problem After Treating Tank

    you really should be testing 2 times a day minimum and doing water changes to suit the ammonia levels. if its at 0.25ppm then i would suggest a minimum of 50% changes a day until its back to its old self.
