Looks like one of the Physa spp. which grow to around 5-10 mm long and at least for me, do not breed out of control. Unlike the various larger pond snails, the Physa snails which are commonly found in aquaria do not eat plants.

Quantity for sale: 5 handfulls Reason for sale: overgrown tanks Delivery or collection: either Sales price: £5 shipped per handful Location: Norwich (Old) photograph:   Yeah, the tank is overgrown again and need to clear it out somewhat as the water lettuce is blocking off all the light for the...

Apart from chlorine which dissipates in around 12-24 hours, you also need to keep in mind that most water supplies contain chloramine nowadays, which takes around a week to go. Both will kill off filter bacteria.

  Not yet!

What's the pH? The harmfulness of the ammonia depends on the pH and some other conditions.   Did you dechlorinate the new tank water? Did you use as much of the old water as possible?   For the immediate future, keep up the water changes and use a dechlorinator that "deals" with ammonia and nitrite.

Guppies are born only with their base colour showing, which is normally some sort of pale grey/yellow mix. As they age, their adult colours start to develop. With enough food and space, they will grow relatively fast and will start showing their colours by 3-6 weeks old, but if they are growing...

Very slow growing! Yes, they need to be attached to wood or rocks as the rhizome will rot if it's buried.   Yes, it's fine if you want to take all of them :) PM me!

Time for another lot of Anubias trimming!   Species: Anubias barteri Quantity: 4 Delivery or collection Price: £3 each or all 4 for £10 P&P: £1.50 packed flat or £3.00 padded with air (I recommend the latter) Location: Norwich Photo: (same four plants in both photos)

They should adapt without any problems, although it may take some time for them to settle down. If the tank is at least 3 ft long, you should not have trouble adding a new male assuming that it is well planted and has enough decor to give him or the females enough space to hide if need be. If...

That's diatoms. Rub them off (I normally use a toothbrush or non-tearing kitchen/paper towel), then do a large water change immediately afterwards. Are you keeping your lights off for the duration of the cycle? If not, this is what caused it. Keep the lights off and if in doubt, through a...

It does indeed sound like overfeeding or inappropriate food. Do not feed at all for at least the next 24-48 hours, then reduce feeding amounts to 1/4 and work from there. On an unrelated note: I highly recommend that you get your schooling fish into nice schools: the behaviour is so much more...

If you are buying from an LFS and are going to try swapping it again, have you considered asking them to unpack it and try running it in the shop? It could be that they got a bad batch! One time (back when I was working for an LFS), I got about 10 Tetratec airpumps from the wholesaler and 8 or...

Plants don't grow in bunches, how many do you want? I've grow both, PM me!

The livebearers and the tetras/cichlids come from quite different areas of South America, so they have pretty much the opposite water ideals. I strongly recommend that you skip on the mollies, platys and swordtails, and have more glowlight tetras instead. As fluttermoth said, careful about the...

More available, including large plants!

Yep, you know my Paypal address (you should check out my email first, the one that you will receive very soon). Nope, see first post which for some reason I cannot edit any more >.<

Are you growing it in or out of water? If in water, then that is not the case. If you are growing it out of water, then the leaves can dry out and shrivel if they grow too close to the light.

I have seen photos of it working successfully, but when I tried to do this myself, I failed miserably on the filling the tank part and water changes, so it does require plenty of carefulness.

I've got some more of these available, probably around 20 more or so.

Quantity for sale: 20 odd normal cuttings Sales price: £1.50 per 10

Sorry, no; as mentioned above, they have all been taken already. I do have some other plants available, so have a browse through the forum if you are interested.

No, they are not. I usually give people a few days' grace period to get back to me :)

Indeed, please send me a PM with your preferred payment method, ideally before tomorrow.

Yes, I have enough for both of you, although I only have ones left that have had cuttings taken from them (which means that they will grow bushier than normal cuttings). If you are interested, PM me with your preferred payment method.

Yes, PM me with your preferred payment method if you would like them.

How does £7.00 posted sound? £6.00 for the P. stratiotes and P&P and £1.00 for the S. natans?

Glad you like them! I have one large bag of large P. stratiotes and Salvinia natans that needs to go out on Monday, any takers?

It was nice meeting you too! Keep me posted on what you're breeding :good: Sorry, Peter took all of these. If you are interested in when I next have these, I can let you know. I also occasionally have a bagful of random cuttings available.

Could you elaborate on why you consider rummy noses to be unsuitable for a 60 cm tank, but propose that cardinals are?

From now on, I will have approximately two large handfuls per week until I post otherwise in this topic. If I am not particularly active on the forums, I may not see replies so PM me for attention if I do not reply within a day or so.

Yep, that generally tends to do funky things to the cycle.

Well, in a 48" tank, you could keep other fish alongside it. For example, it mixes well with barbs, rasboras and smaller loaches.

Yes, once ammonia and nitrite hit 0 ppm, top up on ammonia. Yes, ammonia will be converted into nitrite and if it is not converted fast enough into nitrate, you will see a nitrite reading. No, the aim is that 12 hours after dozing ammonia, ammonia and nitrite should be 0 ppm. This will take...

"I" would consider 3 SO T5 tubes over a 2 ft deep tank "low light" ;)

In my experience they need the space due to their level of activity and adult size, so 48" is really an absolute minimum.

Erm, depends on the tank and the lighting. They are growing in what I would consider "low light" right now.

When one adds ammonia, the water contains ammonia, so one gets an ammonia reading. The ammonia is eventually broken down into nitrite, and nitrite will be broken down into nitrate. Keep dosing 3-5 ppm ammonia once both ammonia and nitrite reach 0 ppm, but no more than once every 24 hours. Once...

Are you selling Cryptocoryne crispatula var. balansae or C. undulata or one of each? The two are two different species and both are easily avilable in UK. It's possible to buy a pot of each for the price that you want for 4 plants, albeit excluding P&P :rolleyes:
