Do you have a more front on photo of the fish?

Also @Wills i thought ide ask, any aquascaping advice for me with my tank? Pictures below

Great idea haha, she has an arowana and some massive catfish, I’ll post some photos sometime

But yes, I think I’ve mentioned this before. If I knew what I knew now, I would have bought a lot less fish, the LFS told me at the start that 50 would be a great number with no issues. If I could do it again tomorrow I would have halved that. But yeah, big tank will be on its way lol. My cousin...

Too right! Keep hinting to my wife ide love a six footer lol

Oh you’ve literally just said what I asked wills lol thanks

Nitrates stay below 10 most days, just creeps up to 20-30 on water change day. I know above 20 is on the high side, do you think I should do 2 x water changes per week?

Yes 50g, nitrates sit about 20-30 at the water change day.

I try to follow the 75% water change rule but my filter loses the siphon. The hose isn’t long enough to push the intake down further so the most I can do is 120l which is about 63%. Is this enough for my weekly water changes?

Get ready for my wife’s attempt : 😅 There was once a woman called Trish.. Who loved taking care of her fish.. She non stopped cried.. When one of them died... Which was against her wish.. Yeah filing for the divorce as we speak

I could be wrong but I think guppies need hardwater

Haha I was reading half of this thinking ‘yeah we don’t have a king’ until I read the end lol I’m glad Britain are allies with US. if we are ever in a rough scrape with another military giant we can count on Uncle Sam 👍

That was the exact advice from my LFS when I first started keeping fish. Double tap dechlorinator lol

Lol if Britain tried to take over the US we would get absolutely slapped. I wouldn’t worry about that

We don’t even celebrate thanksgiving lol

I’ll be honest I have no idea what a catfish diner is and also church ladies lol we don’t even have diners in uk really they are more like cafes

Please feel free to correct or disagree but I feel the USA as a very diverse and altogether difficult country. Ide hate to be the leader of a country with millions of people from miles apart that all live very different lives through very different cultures. Yeah there’s 60 million people in uk...

Those eels are awesome, same with the bichir!

Simple setups are the best setups :) over complication can slowly get out of control

Oh so honey gouramis can still get the disease, even if they are never in contact with dwarfs?

Yeah honey gouramis are almost always a good alternative to the likes of dwarf gourami. Also they don’t get dwarf gourami disease

You really shouldn’t transport any aquarium with water + ornaments and gravel in as it can break the bottom. If this was how you were going to do it

Looks awesome

Well after they grow do I break them off or leave them?

Okay will they break off on their own?

So are these dark green parts more stems?

Ahh cool will these offshoots just split off on their own then? Also is ferts once a week okay? Or should I increase it Sorry to keep editing. These plants (elodia and duckweed) are in a container own their own outside. The water is looking a bit green. Is this okay? It’s almost like a green...

Yeah grew a couple of cm over a couple of weeks. Aswell as these little dark green parts growing off the plant

It’s in my soft tap water outside, i add plant fertiliser every week. My big piece is about 25cm long, should I cut it up?

Thanks :) they are all happy doing well and it’s been a learning curve but it’s doing great :)

Since February, most of them aren’t anywhere near fully grown and still juvenile. Nitrates are always below 20 doing 75% water changes weekly . You need to overstock rift lakes due to aggression, I know I’ve took it a little too far, I followed the advice of the LFS.. ide of rathered 30-35 but...

48 rift lake cichlids 2 pictus catfish 1 bumblebee catfish 1 synodontis catfish 1 BN pleco

I have a 50g with 25kg of rock and like 53 fish. Does this displace enough water for me to qualify? 🤣

Me and my wife’s room has the thermostat. Our room was 31 degrees the other day

Yes Elodia not hornwort, it just feels normal. Is it not the plant reproducing?

My hornwort that I’m growing outside has small parts of it dark green and the rest is light green, what’s happening? Picture below

Ahh thanks for this @AquaBarb I was told by my LFS it was impossible to sex them lol
