Here he is ! :D (The new iPhone camera seeks to be pretty good for fish btw) But He is a bit more vibrant / bright in person

Thanks for the advice :). The Chinese algae eater will be rehomed when a friend of mine has his 100g setup and the same for my bristlenosed Pleco. He is going into my 30 gallon The tank was fish less cycled about a year ago and has had fish in it ever since. Ivemoved all of the other fish to a...

Quick tip If you do post some pictures do it on a white background so it's easier to see the colours. Try putting a sheet of blank paper behind the phials. TheAquariumGuy :D

Recently my auntie decided to give up keeping fish so has been slowly breaking down her tanks and selling off equipment. I managed to acquire her beautiful red and purple betta and a nearly new app freshwater test kit. Here's the problem. I don't know where to start when keeping bettas . Thanks...

You could attach some java ferns to the moss

I recently returned from holiday to find my Bolivian rams dead (no sign of attack, they were very healthy before i left). I am looking into getting a few centrepiece fish for my 90 litre tank All ideas welcome. The tank has a rounded fine gravel bottom bog wood and lots of plants. It contains...

I have to agree with techen there. It Is a perfect oppurtinity for automotive development in America but poses too big a target to vandals in the uk. Some type of police monitoring scheme would have to be put in place to prevent and catch vandals if these vehicles are to be used in the uk. As...

I own a 20 gallon and a 15 gallon planted tank. Every Friday I : - gravel vac and water change at least 20% - dose with fertiliser and algae remover (phosphate and silicate remover) - clean algae from the 10 gallon (bristlenose plec cleans the 20 gallon :p ) Daily I pick out snails from the...

Do you see aquarium maintenance as a chore or as bonding time with your fish :p What does your maintenance usually consist of? How often do you do it?

I have some old disinfectant tablets that are for use in baby bottles and general disinfecting. Can I use these to disinfect syringes and plastic items I use in my aquarium. The tablets are sodium dichloroisocyanurate. I think I'm going to soak the items in boiling water but if I can use...

ah i see the fishes wellbeing is priority in my eyes so i will give cichlids a miss then. :)   what about some dwarf gourami and amano shrimp or maybe a bleeding heart tetra breeding tank.   i really want to have the rewarding experience of breeding fish that aren't guppies. could you recommend...

What about a few dwarf cockatoo cichlids

Ah I see. What are the most colourful but not very well known fish that I could put in there. I have a young cousin who likes very colourful spfish you see

My lfs has some fish that are about 1 inch long at the moment. (they're not fully grown)  i think they're demasoni cichlids. would these be ok in a 10 gal with shrimp

2 rummy nosed tetra and some of my shrimp have died. I have tested all the parameters of the water and they are all completely fine. Gould the algae bloom I'm experiencing have starved the fish of oxygen and resultantly killed them?? All answers welcome Thanks, TheAquariumGuy

Would the corydoras need a sand substrate and are they safe with a few shrimp

It's viewable from nearly all angles

The tank is 50 cm wide 45 cm high and 25 cm deep. We have medium hard water and it's a bedside tank.

I will soon have a 50 litre aquarium with one or two shrimp in it. I am unsure of what to do with this tank. Do I add more shrimp or do I start from scratch and just leave the shrimp in. I have black gravel lots of wood and the tank is lightly planted. All suggestions welcome. Thanks...

Great :) I have been looking everywhere for a build. Keep us posted :)

I keep Bolivian rams and it looks similar to one of mine but doesn't have the pink/orange colours that mine has so I don't think it is

Would the rummy nosed be ok with house baby shrimp though

Current stocking: 20 gallon with 2 Bolivian rams and 9 rosy tetras 10 gallon with 2 dwarf gourami and 4 rummy nosed tetra. I was thinking of moving the gourami into the larger tank so the 10 gallon would only have the tetras in it. His is so I can grow and keep shrimp in this tank without the...

damn i was thinking or cherry reds

You could try buying a large pond air pump from allpondsolutions they differ in price and are very powerful

I want to put shrimp in a tank but buy them in as babies. I don't want my dwarf gourami or rummy nosed tetras to eat them. Would it pay to let them grow up in a net breeder box so they aren't harassed or eaten. Would they escape or would they be fine? How long do they take to grow up...

its what i would have done if i had more time. good for fish like tetras and danios

daizeUK. Try making a bottle trap. It took me 2 hours to catch 4 rummy nosed tetras !!!!!!!!!!!

:D Thanks Ch4rlie  

will an assassin snail outcompete plecos and shrimp for food.     thanks TheAquariumGuy  

Ah ok :). Thankyou very much for your help attibones.

Haha I know the relief when you finally catch the last of a shoal :p

Ah cool so lemme get this straight. 100 litre (20 gal) = 2 Bolivian rams 9 rosy tetra and an ancistrus 50 litre (10 gal) = 2 dwarf gourami 6 rummy nosed tetra and 10 shrimp. Thanks very much, TheAquariumGuy

Ah in that case I will swap them with the dwarf gourami in my large tank. The gourami swill go into the 50 litre whereas the rams will go into their old tank. That should be ok shouldn't it. The gourami will be ok with the shrimp won't they. In the end it will be 2 dwarf gourami and 4 rummy...

I need to catch some rummy nose tetras that are in a large tank and they are sooooooo fast. What is the best way to catch them and minimise stress on the fish.

I have a pair of Bolivian rams in a 50 litre tank and want to mature some shrimp in the tank with them. I buy the shrimp in at 1-3 mm long and grow them for resale or to go in my other tanks. This is my first time keeping Bolivian rams so I don't know much about them. Would they eat the shrimp...
