Well they have eaten all of the eggs. :-(   I had come to expect this anyhow. The new tank is coming along and I should be able to move some fish in there shortly.

Well, the fish ate all the eggs. Now it looks like on of them keeps chasing the other about! O_o!   I hope my new 180 litre gets up and running soon so i can transfer some fish over so they are less stressed out.

I am adding ro water but not putting any buffer in it. I did a 10 percent with the ro water, perhapse I should do a bigger one to get the nitrates down.

I might take you up on that offer sadguppy if things get out of hand ;-). I have just got a larger tank so I hope to move the harlequins and eventually the neons into there. Turns out that the lfs gave me a male and a female and they have laid eggs! Fingers crossed everything turns out ok for...

Thanks Sammy, your replay has put me at ease some what. I guess I just have to stop worrying and let life find it's way.

Help! A couple of days a go I purchased 2 electric rams, I have been concerned for them because they are in a small 60 litre tank, it's over stocked and nitrates are through the roof at fourth to eighty ppm! But now they appear to have layer eggs,! This has come as a shock because the Los said...

I live in bexley so I think the water is pretty hard like yours sadguppy, and as my full stocking it goes: 6 Harlequin rasbora 6 Neon tetra 3 Endler's livebearers 4 Guppies 1 pleco (unidentified, but apparently doesn't grow so huge, max 6" I think??). and the 2 Electric Blue Rams. I only got the...

The tap water nitrate level is about 40-80ppm, I'm not sure what it is closest too, and I have no way of measuring the softness or hardness of my water. :-/ Do you think it could be a possibility that, due to tap water conditions, it is impossible for me to keep these fish anyway?

Well for one there are two in a 63 litre tank, the tank has about 25 fish in it and is heavily overstocked and there is a problem with the nitrate, being at about 80ppm right now, conditions not suitable for them.

Hi all, I was thinking of getting a Juwel rio 240 in the hopes of being able to keep some German Blue Rams in the future. I have currently 2 electric blue rams in a Juwel record 600, but the conditions are extremely bad for them at this time and I am unsure I will have them for long. I guess I...

Wow, it just hit me how big a deal this is. I wish I came to this forum before I decided to even get the tank. All this time I have been enjoying the beauty of the fish, whilst all the time it has been overstocked. I am so ashamed! Thanks for that calculation snazy, that really slapped me...

Hi eaglesaquarium and thanks for the reply. Your advice confirms my suspicions, however my mother is giving me grief about me being obsessively worried and over concerned for the well-being for my fish. Various arguments she presents to contradict my concerns are: 1) The pet shop owner has...

Hello everyone, I'm Matthew and am new to the forum hoping to increase my knowledge of the fish keeping hobby. I am relatively new to the hobby I have had my first fish tank now for about 5 months now, but I still feel really uneasy about the hole thing, and I am not sure if the advice from my...
