Hi All,       I have an  AquaNano 55L tank, which currently houses 6 Ember Tetras and 1 Honey Gourami.   I've just planted some Vallis at the back of the tank (and placed a root tab under each plant).   I've also used rubber bands to attach some Anubias and Anubias Nana to my driftwood.   My...

Can I ask where you got The aquarium from? If uk what shop? I got mine at pets at home   Yep, same here.

Would Anubais, java fern and java moss require fertilizer?

  It just came with it!

Hi All,     My tank currently looks like this (click to enlarge):       Its a 55L and has 1 Honey Gourami and 7 Ember Tetras.   The plants you see are plastic and I'd like to start to replace them with live plants, which don't require any special substrate. (I currently have a silver sand...

All fully cycled now, and fish added!   I have 1 Golden Honey Gourami and 7 Ember Tetras.   The fish have been in there for a couple of days now and the Ammonia and Nitrite readings are happily staying at zero.     Thanks to you all for your help and guidance.   Here's a pic (click to enlarge):  

  I went to my local aquatics shop, and they kindly gave me some of their mature media. I've mixed it in with mine. Fingers crossed that it gets it all going for me!

  I've just tested my tank pH and its at 7.4 (the same as my tap water). Is this a good pH level for cycling the tank? Why do you recommend a pH level of 8.2?   I might have to look into getting hold of some mature media!

My tank ammonia still hasn't dropped. It's still at around 2ppm. I haven't added any ammonia, or done any water changes recently.   Am I doing something drastically wrong? It seems like I can't get the cycle started!   Any help much appreciated!   Mack

The honey gourami looks great, but are there any other small-ish "centrepiece" fish that I should also be looking at?

My tank ammonia is currently still around 2ppm, so I'm spending time researching fish.     I like this idea especially!   I probably won't look into Corys now, thanks to all of your advice. Maybe I'll go for some shrimps once I've got my fish sorted.

Excellent, thanks very much

I've left the tank for three days now without doing any tests (or adding any ammonia).   Today I tested the water and found ammonia at 5ppm and nitrite at 0ppm.   So it seems that my cycling still hasnt kicked off.     I have replaced half of the water and turned my heater up to 30 Centigrade...

Thanks for all the help!   The tank water has now cleared itself up nicley.   My water company states that I have "Moderately Soft water at 2.8°dH". Is this refering to Carbonate hardness or General hardness?     I've now used my API Kit, to test my tap water: Ammonia = 0ppm Nitrite = 0ppm...

Here is a pic of what my tank currently looks like:     As you can see, I've now changed to sand as the substrate, as I would like some corys. What about some Panda Cories?   I am currently cycling the tank with Household Ammonia, and it looks quite cloudy now. Would this be a bacterial bloom...

Hi All,   I am brand new to fishkeeping and have set up an AquaNano 40 aquarium.   It's 55L (14.5 US Gallons) and measures 40cm x 40cm x 40cm.   It has black gravel as a substrate and some plasic plants, a cave, and is soon to have a piece of bogwood added.     My question is, what can I stock...
