Thanks Nobody, it's funny you should ask about the corys. I have three each of three different types that shoal together nicely, the only problem is we can only positively identify one. If you look at this link you can see the pics and subsequent suggestions. I believe they are definitely long...

Hi Nobody, please see comments above. I think i need more help

EDIT: Removed as in wrong place

Cheers Tizer, maybe my original question wasnt as clear as it should be, but in summary will the addition of the Rummy Nose cause too much congestion in the middle/bottom part of tank? If I am not able to get Rummy Nose another option is to get rid of my top/middle dwellers and find a nice...

I know about the schooling numbers but thanks anyway. I used to have six but three of them were killed by my Dwark Gourami when protecting his bubble nest. I nearly upped the numbers back to six again but they just joined in with the Scissortails and are as happy as larry. Truth is, i will...

Its funny you should say that, as I think this may have been my last season :sad: Just had yet another shoulder op and it is worse now that before the op, maybe it hasnt healed yet but if it doesnt get any better then there is no chance of me playing in September. I introduced my wife to...

I think this may be a case of wanting my cake and eating it, but i would really like to get at least 12 rummy nose tetras in my setup and have multiple questions. Tank stats are in my signature 1. I currently have 1750 lph of internal filtration in my 200 litre tank so i do not think the...

Played league for about 4 years, but been playing union for the last 35 years. League is a far tougher game, but all in union is the better code. At 44, playing league again is out of the question, i have enough surgery done playing union. I take it you're a union man living in Gloucs :good:

Thanks again, when my donated plants arrive I'll take these out and separate them, see if they do any better

I think it's Nanjenshan Boshi, but i assume the same prblem would happen. It has always struggled since I first introduced it in Jan and this will probably be the reason why. Tonight i will get it out and separate it,, same with the eustralis behind it. Thanks again

Lol #40## right, as a rugby player it's the law that you have to dress up occasionally Thanks Primous

Cheers man, guess I'm lucky eh

Thanks lol, there always room for improvement. Will look better when it's lawned

Thats the puppy, thanks again. Any suggestions for improvement?

That's twice in two days I've got left and right mixed up. Its on the left, honestly

Thanks a lot, also got a narrower leaved anubias on the right hand side that I like a lot, but I can't remember the name, any idea

Thanks, I use micro ferts in liquid and tab and add Easycarbo daily. Really don't want to go down the pressurised high tech route, but also don't want the low tech option. I thought this was happy medium

Right here's the pics of before and after, would really appreciate honest opinions and advice to further improve it. I will be lawning half of the front as the next step. Also stuck in a pic of my new favourite plant, coffeefolia. BEFORE AFTER FAV PLANT

Hi guys, how about £10 each or £17 for both? If you PM me your address I can get the postage calculated as these are heavy pieces

Looks nice, I would try the above suggestions and see what works for you. Generally speaking, the smaller the particle size, the easier it will be to clean as the muck will tend to stay on the surface rather than falling in between the gaps. This is why a lot of people use sand as a substrate

IMO there are two option open to you. Firstly, you could vacuum the substrate as if it was sand. This involves moving the end of the syphon in small circles about an inch above the surface of the substrate. The muck will pick up but the gravel won't, there is a technique to it and it will...

Getting back on topic lol, i had a look at my new layout this morning now the dust has settled, so to speak. I am very happy with it. I will post some pics this evening for comment and advice on improvements. On a side note, my wood went through the dish washer twice and soaked in the bath...

Very sly, I feel your pain lol

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your feedback. The setup has been running 4 months now and I have had not had any issues with the results, guess I have been fairly lucky but will know better for my next tank. However, I did a major rescape yesterday and this did involve the removal of a very...

Got my first aquarium on Jan 2nd this year, totally obsessed by the whole thing. Finished off at 9pm, I was really upbeat about it after spending the day sorting it, asked the wife what she thought and the answer was 'very nice, give me a hand moving these books'. There's no educating pork!!!

You and me both, had to cook my own dinner tonight

Hi, open to offers, preferably for pick up. They were £45 new but they are pretty big.

Today I have spent 7 hrs rescaping my 200 litre community tank, and I am now knackered. Removed two very big pieces of bogwood, removed some plants and relocated others, gave my substrate a good going over, glass cleaned, redmoor wood added after moss, anubias and coffeefolia were attached...

Very, very, very nice I have just spent most of day rescaping, and I thought about getting another tank set up like this. I think you have just made my mind up for me. What substrate is that?

Great help guys, especially snowflake thanks for putting the effort in. Like you, I am stumped on the third, I thought it was agassizii as I can find pictures on the net that are identical, however there are also loads of pictures of agassizii that look nothing like them as well. There really...

Hi all, got the following for sale Bogwood: 2 large pieces Age and condition: Been in tank for 4 months, no diseases/parasites etc Quantity for sale: Two Reason for Sale: Rescaping with new wood Delivery or Collection: preferably pickup, but am happy to deliver if buyer organises Sales price...

Thanks all, still some uncertainty on the on the first and third but I believe the second is definitely a long finned peppered. The redness on the third pic is really odd, it is around the gill area and there is also a spot redness just before the dorsal fin if you look closely. All three of...

Can you help me identify my corys, I think they are Melanistius, paleatus (long fin) & agazizii but need some confirmation. Also notice the red areas around the gills and head, is this normal as all water stats are spot on at 0,0,10

Address PM'd, cheers Dan

I think i need to revise left vs right lol. Yes to the first tray but what I meant to say was 2nd and 4th looking left to right, doh

Hi Dan, Definately interessted in some of those. Right can you tell me what the following are, 1st picture on the right edge, 2nd pic plants 2 and 4 looking from right to left. I am rescaping this weekend so these might do the trick nicely

Thanks for clarifying that, I think I may have to read up on the Walstad method

Apologies for going off topic here, but if nitrates reduce in my tank due to plant uptake, what other indicators can be used to determine the levels of the other toxins?

Cracking post TTA, really useful information.

On the assumption that they are both males, I would remove one as I dont think the tank is big enough for them to have their own space and prevent the squabbles. Thats just my opinion though, some of the more expert people here will tell you with more certainty
