Evening guys!   I have a bit of a problem, I have a 10 galloon tank which has been set up and running smoothly for 6 months now.   I change 25% of the water once, sometimes twice a week. My water tests are always good!   However I have came home from work today and seem to have some sort of...

I feed them a pinch of tetramin every day! And twice a week some bloodworms! It's really odd as the other fish are all good. He's still the same and it's been a good 3-4 hours and if anything it's getting larger so I will have to euthanise him :(

Afternoon guys hope you had a good christmas I have had my tank up and running now for 3-4 months, all has been going really well, water stats are all spot on, fish all seem healthy and happy, I had one clown loach die last month with no reason why. However, one of my diamond flame tetras is...

Ok, understand your point! So just to clear something up, what else can you put into a goldfish tank with no heater/filter? Not regarding the size of the tank?

and if I were to give her my old 20 gallon tank and put the goldfish in there what could I add then....?

Hi guys Story is I'd like to get my sister something extra for her current 10 gallon tank (for Xmas) which houses one gold fish (the other died last year). She's had this one gold fish for a good 6/7 years, and id like to maybe get another addition to her tank. Something small! She just has the...

Thanks flutter moth :) Ok that makes sense! Would an assassin snail or any sort of snail do the job the same as a the Malaysian trumpet snail? And are snails something that can be kept on there own? Yes I have noticed that with the sand/gravel. What a pain. In future would just sand on its own...

Baccus you mentioned your corys do a fantastic job I have 2 clown loaches (sadly one died) who don't really seem to be to good a house keeping, and sand does seem to have a bit of muck on the top, would it be wise/possible to purchase 1 cory to help Hoover up? I only have space for 1 possibly 2...

My substrate in my tank is 1cm of gravel on the bottom with about 2cm of sand on top. Which would be the best way to clean the sand??

Got him some blood worm which I'm putting in twice a week I mix it with a tiny bit of water and I've brought my self a large pipette which I'm sucking it up and placing it right in front of him/her. Any tips/advice is more than welcome please! :)

Thanks for the advice terry, much appreciated :) Aqua spacer, I'm sure I can give him the care and attention he will need thanks...

Ah I love my frog I can't get rid of him now ha! I didn't realise he'd be messy! In what way can they be deadly? I did the full fish less cycle with ammonia etc etc. Terry would you also agree anymore than 10 fish is to much in a 10 gallon tank? Many thanks.

Speaking to the guy in the fish shop he said I could have about 20-30 small white fin tetras! Is there a sort of rule of thumb with how many fish per gallon/litre?

Afternoon :) My cycle was complete last week and at the weekend I brought my first bunch of fish :) I purchased 3 white fin tetras, 5 diamond flame tetra, one bristle nose and a tiny Congo frog :) They all seem very happy so far, but was thinking about maybe adding a few others? I'd really...

Im getting so excited about getting my new fish i really hope it is! I started the cycle two weeks ago approx, have been adding the right amount of ammonia every day and recroded all my results, Last night I added 3-4ppm of ammonia, then 12 hours later I have taken my readings and my ammonia...

Evening, Im sorry to post on here again and im sure your all fed up with fishless cylcling questions but im hoping someone will be willing to clear something up for me! I started my fishless cycling Tuesday last week. 24 hours after I added the Ammonia for the first time these were the results...

Ok, so as my Ammonia is so low, and my nitrates are reading 7.5, shall I put in some more Ammonia?

thank you ill have a look! should i be adding ammonia every day?

Ok thats great thank you Im glad the jelly stuff is safe!! Any ideas on the dusty brown substance on the leaves?! And what should I be looking for with regards to Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia levels?

Afternoon Guys! Hoping someone can help me... I started my fishless cycling last thursday. I set up the 10 gallon tank on tuesday, and put in my sand, gravel and plants. The water temp was 27-28c. The water results where as followed: pH 7.4 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 NitrAte: 3-4 I was then told I...

ok im with you! unfortunatly he doesnt have the fish anymore, but it was his tank AND his filter (it hasnt been used for 3-4 months so im not sure if the bacteria will still be present). Any more questions I can see I can rely on you guys thank you so much!!!

The "Why we Should Not Fishless Cycle Planted Tanks" thread has thrown a spanner in the works!!! I am starting to understnad the cycling process more and more so bare with me :) But the above thread... am I right in thinking it will be alot harder to finish the cycle with the plants in the...

thanks for the quick reply. Nope I havent added any ammonia as of yet, (where is the best place to get it?) To be honest I have a friend who had fish for a long time, and all he has said to do is add some drops of Tap Water Conditioner (dechlorinator) into the tank, leave it a few weeks then...
