Cool once water is good again will get a couple, have had no luck with the returning the algae eater to lps even tho I got on their advice they said its not their problem didn't ask for any money back but hey :-( both fish seem to be ok ATM and the fry are ok too, one went missing after a water...

Thank you I am going to try to speak to the pet shop tomorrow

I would love a large one in my lounge when I finish working with kids but to be honest think all this has put me off, small is cute lol

Thank you is on order now, do I need an algae eater and if so what's best for a small tank

It is the freshwater one I want isn't it?? I have test strips but as shown today they are no good lol Lol was going to use the kettle but didn't know if it was safe lol

How would I heat the water out of the tank or is that a silly question

Ok I am in north Devon :-) I am keeping an eye out for a larger tank but being a childminder don't know how safe it would be lol, when you say warm the water do you just mean leave it at room temp?

Is so hard the kids wanted this soo much and the only thriving thing in the tank we have to re home lol, am I doing more than 20% today?

:-( ok I only did a 20% on advice of lps they said 20% today, 10% in 2 days the same 2 days after that, is this not enough?? As for the algae eater I will try to find a new home for him, first lps I went to recommended him for my tank saying he would only grow as big as the size of the tank. Is...

Ok just got back all tests were within parameters other than ammonia has gone up is now 1ppm have done 20% water change but still struggling with pictures This is the algae eater they recommended This is a pic of them both, not the best I know lol

Will try but had problems getting pics on before :-( also I listed the fish I have had over the whole time, sadly all that's left now is the algea eater, 1 guppy and the one gold one hence the restock lol

Ok as tank is new I followed advice from fish shops(big mistake) so have had a few fish in there, guppy, algae eater, glass catfish and a gold coloured fishe that I don't know the name off but looks like a gold fish( but isn't lol). All readings look good but am popping out now to get pet shop...

Further to my post earlier in the week, I am a new fish owner and was loosing all my fish, happily I have had no deaths since so was looking good. I have got up this morning to find baby fish happily swimming around my tank on the day I was about to get some more for the tank. Can I still put...

The other fish was a glass catfish, and the algae eater that attaches to the side of the tank will take a pic of that one

The media won't fit, so do I need them both running for 6 weeks

Should I be turning the air block back on?

I didn't touch the filter other that to move its position and pets at home are telling me my water is fine, I really am at a loss but am going to ignore the get some more fish comment they gave me till I have it sorted, thank you all for helping me

Will try to answer all as there is a delay as I am new and the moderators are doing their thing:-) when I asked for the tank I asked for it not to be cleaned so as far as I am aware there are no chemicals there. I was sold a clear seal 200 with the tank but the top valve ( sorry really am new to...

Ok I guessed the strips were rubbish so am getting a liquid test delivered with shop doing water test till it arrives, I placed the fish in the bag in the water for 20 mins the added a little tank water left for ten mins, repeated then released. I didn't think to ask the ph of the shop water tho...

Lol ok, I have a 25 l second hand tank that came with filter as my kids were desperate to have tropical fish, I had some of the old owners water too. I added new gravel some decor a heater then topped up the water (treated for chlorine) and left running for 2 weeks. Used test strip to check the...
