    Black Spots/colouring Identification?

    Hi, I fairly recently added four mollys to my tank, I noticed on one's tail he had a small black patch/spec - it was so vivid it looked like colouring so assumed it was just a pigment disorder in his skin, I've since noticed he now has a similar one on his other side and a few minute specs of...

    That's what it looks like, I'm no specialist - take it when they say specialist, they mean specialist?

    Looks like they may have been discus fish but I'm not convinced, not sure my tank would be suitable for discus fish?

      Thanks, much appreciated - I've found a media donor and will track down a bottle of ammonia and ofcourse read some more! Does anyone have any thoughts on the heater? I've just touched the water and it's still ice cold, I'm probably being impatient as it has almost 200l of water to hear but I...

    Why do every fish shop advise against fishless cycling?  Still reading into it all (and yes have my liquid test kit from the start) and intended to fishless cycle up until today, but everyone I speak to says 'that's absolutely pointless, just get it all ready, dechlor it, leave it running a week...

    Now the opwner of a Juwel Vision 180! Went against the coral sand.  Off shopping to get all the beginners stuff for a new tank tomorrow. The guides on here will be really handy.   There are internal filters fitted at the moment - I'm going to give these a go for now.

I'm hopefully (fingers crossed!) picking up my Juwel tank tomorrow.  The guy I'm buying it off has offered me some coral sand with it it, a quick look on the net says it's probably not a good idea with my intention of a community tank and my choices so...

    Thanks for all the input. I'll explain the dilemma with the electricals (skip this bit if you find it a bit frivellous/boring) ...basically there's a TV mounted to the chimney breast and the fish tank will be going in the alcove immediately to the side of it, this is also the only real option to...

    Also, a friend told me of a model that houses the pump and possibly filters all in the lid of the unit but didn't know the manufacturer, He said it would make maintenance much, much easier - does anyone know of any models like this? Or have any opinions on them?

    First Timer Requiring A Tank - What To Get?

    Hi All, I'm currently looking into getting my first tropical fish set up and am just having trouble deciding on the tank and cabinet. I have a 100cm (just over) gap to home it so the Juwel Vision 180 caught my eye, mainly because I like the curvature of the tank and the cabinet design and the...
