use slate for rocks make little tents like this /\|| /\ || /\ || ||>Plants /\>Slate tents

1) Do water changes 2) keep the light on 3) clean the gravel Have i got this right: Add ammonia (depending on size of tank) daily this will create bacteria Bacteria break amonia into nitrite amonia falls nitrite spikes, nitrite goes to nitrate nitrite falls amonia should be 0. Takes up to 30 days

yes temperature never thought of that, i guess its easier with buckets! How do you get the right temp with buckets?

No its my after exam treat, ill get the tank by february, cycling takes up to a month(actually i am getting some mature plats gravel and filter media so) hmm might be quicker! Ive been advised against the pandas by the guys at wharf (due to them not likeing nottinghamshire water) so im getting...

can you manually stop them, seen as though my tank is going to be 64 litres im going to be removing 16 litres, how will i know when i got the right amount in. So u clean the gravel whilst removing water. With a small tank i guess i do it it sections. How do i avoid taking up my fish? Will they...

me! I ogt the "just keep swiming" audio file on my computer lol!

Can anyone explain to me how they work? Anyone with any experience with them? Are they worth the investment? Cheers

From my calculations you can have 5 rasborsa and 2 male platties

or let him "cool off" for a bit

Perhaps he likes bubbles? Is the decoration new? Or he may be less shy/adapted to the tank? Check wilders link, but your best bet is a catifsh forum here or elsewhere.

Yay! A Bristlenose plec! What colour you getting? I reccomend the golden/yellow ones. You have room for.........2 more harlis and depending on your filtration probably other stuff too! You think you got it hard! My mate wont drive me to the best lfs around till feb! No fish for me till march! Im...

Wow cheers! any herlp with sand?

Im looking for online tutorials on: Innitial setup of a tropical tank(water, planting decholoronating water) Performing water changes Using sand substrate Other tank maintenence Cheers

From what i know, the only way you can tell is during mating where he male gets a real HONEY colour blue throats, and black tipped fins. The female stays duller.

They are so cool my girlfriend says they are ugly, i say they are cute and like the ugly duckling!They are underrated!

dont buy chineese algae eaters or anything labled "algae eater" These are huge, and not the most suited to community tanks

Yellow bristlenose plec. Sorted!

I love bristlenoses too! I was like wow hes ugly, then itr dawned on me! They were the freakiest yet coolest fish i seen! I now plan to stick a yellow one in my new tank :)

m not going to be able to buy two tanks :S thats not good. What can i do? If i buy slowly(BN week 1, Barbs week 2, tetra week 3) without quarentene will it be okay? Also can you clean gravel without a gravelkvac, by just moving the subrstate or will my BN do a good job of it?> Cheers!

Id like a 30 gallon bristlenose breading tank!

Its usually not advisable to mess about with PH mind you.

Heya! Thats about the size tank im getting. I'd deffo reccomend geting at least on bristlenose plec! They are fantastic algae eaters and are so cool looking! (i'm turning into a bristlenose fanatic lol!) Well if you want shoaling you cant go wrong with a few harliquin rasbora. And a specie of...

Hello, i too am getting a tank for uni. Im getting a 18/15/12 tank(11 UK, 14USA gallons) and worked out it is easy to carry between home(s). I guess what ive seen of the halls available 18" long/15" back is your optimum size as u need space to do some work in, plus this will comfortably fit on...

Yeah i understand that but can i add all those at once once cycled? Or will i buy a few each week? Will i be okay to put in without quarentene?

is styrofam polystyrene?

So i float my new fish in their bags first? Do you add tankwater to the bags?

As i've posted before im going to get a 14gal tank with 6 glowlight tetra, a bristlenose (yellow), and 2 cherry barbs. I plant to feed bloodworm one per week algae wafers once a week for bristlenose, and flakes rest of time. Is this good or should i feed more live foods? How do i know what is...

Im not sure but i think clown loach need bigger tanks :S

HAHAHAAHAHAA lol nice one oooooooooooh!

yeah i meant was it a male albino bristlenose as it looked like the pics id found. Whats that code your using sirminion? nvm worked it out. These are the ones i liked, how common are they?

Question on colouration is the yellow bristlenose ive seen a male albino? Or is it a species in its own right?

im guessing some harmful pollutant

wow stunning! :kewlpics:

Im not sure have you looked in all hiding places? Sounds like the swordtail may be protecting eggs but im not sure if so he would ne quite agressive. Im not really up on alot of this.

Ouch:P

reccomended for planted tanks?

Id suggest a betta if you can get it heated. White clouds if not. Have fun!

Well i'd deffo read the articles on cycling and i hope you enjoy ya stay!
