Fish had no appetite yesterday, will try again soon to see if that's changed (going to try peas to see if that will help anything). Yes I use API stress coat with every new bucket of water added. It hasn't popped whatsoever. Thing is it can't be the aeration, everyone else is content and there...

I'll attach photos + video for you to see and determine what is wrong with him hopefully. It's swimming ok I guess but it looks damn unhappy. Water conditions are perfect, zero ammonia, nitrate and nitrite. This happened during/after a water change about 36 hours ago, although apparently there...

Hi everyone haven't posted in a long time. Long story short I have a large beautiful 350L aquarium full of rainbowfish, tetras, catfish and red line torpedo barbs but to this day something still particularly bothers me - cleaning/gravel vacuuming. Weekly I do a partial water change as standard...

Hi everyone, So I've done a lot of research on filters and the media they come with especially for JUWELs. The consensus being the filter sponges are all in the wrong order and the nitrate one does nothing. So I'm going to rearrange them properly (when I get one) and use biogravel in fishnet...

Hi everyone, Would Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish (let's say 8) be okay with a school of Boesemani Rainbowfish? Tank is 80 gallons. Many thanks.

:( Like I said literally I just came up with this composition last night, when I had more time this weekend I was gonna make a spreadsheet of all the conditions necessary for each fish, so I would've found out this myself. Yes the water is pretty hard here. I would say around 15 dH. My question...

Hi everyone, Getting a big brand new tank in January and obviously I'm thinking ahead here. Before I list my proposed ideas (and I would really value any advice whether it's good or not), just bear in mind I've quickly thought this up and it should not be overstocked (considering its 5ft long...

Thank you Byron, as you can see I am planning to do so anyway but it's a shame that the ram would not be happy. Ok well I shall do so Byron.

hi guys, How is this for a 120l tank? Currently: X2 albino tiger barbs X4 boesemani rainbow fish Soon: X2 albino tiger barbs X6 boesemani rainbow fish X1 electric blue ram About a few months later: X2 pearl gourami X1 electric blue ram X6 boesemani rainbow fish Is this ok? Thanks guys.

Hi again the barbs have never nipped them - perhaps it's cause their larger and faster

Well many thanks, Byron I'll add two more rainbows. I do want the best but no one will take the barbs so I just live with what I've got.

So 5 rainbow fish and 3 barbs are too much?

:( well what can I do - no one will ever take them - this you must realise. The rainbow fish I can increase to 5 (5x3 in = 15in) and the 3 albino barbs (2in x 3 = 6in) so that's 21in and I have 26 in of space. I understand boesemani fish are fine with these bottom dwellers and blue rams can...

So how does this sound: - 5 rainbows - 2 blue rams - 3 or 5 albino tiger barbs

Can different species of rainbow mix?

Boesemani.

Ok Byron any other fish than rams?

I currently have 3 rainbow fish and 3 albino barbs Is there any fish other than more of the same u can suggest?

120l.

Hey, Would 2 golden rams get on fine? Also how would they fare with some rainbow fish and tiger barbs thx? Fishyfish890

How long exactly would it take for such stress to meet an unfortunate event then? Actually I am completely horrified by what you are saying, as I love to think of welfare rather than what looks nice or pretty - beleive me, this post is more of a 'out of curiosity' but I have kept rainbows for...

Hi, With all due respect the rainbow fish have plenty of room tbh and most people over crowd their aquarium. Fishyfish890

Hey!   Yh I have tried to this before but tiger barbs die out so quickly that I've given up on them to be honest. The albinos and rainbows get on perfectly; thats why I'd really like a different species. My water parameters are a ph of 7.5 and a temp of 25c.

Hey everyone!   Currently, my 120l aquarium with 3 albino tiger barbs and 3 boesemani rainbow fish. I would like to put 1 other species also. However, at the present the balance is kinda perfect between the two and I know how difficult tiger barbs are, so any suggestions would be great.   My...

Yes must they are hiding in the corner under my filter, not moving. I just think its a bit odd; but sometimes they do come out in pairs and then go back into hover mode with the reast of the group.   many thanks,   Fishyfish890

HI everyone,   Over the past few days I have noticed that all my fish (mentioned in the title) are huddling together. Some have gone in pairs others have stayed together. I am not sure if I am correct but is this a form of mating occuring? Any suggestions would be great.   Many thanks,  ...

Hi everyone,   Just wondering if you were to feed a catfish pellets would the other fish eat it before them? If so, would sinkable pellets be better. Any suggestions would be great.   Many thanks,   Fishyfish890

Thank you very much Ch4rlie for informing about the bala shark. What about x3 paradise fish, will these be ok?   Fishyfish890

Thank you very much for imforming me... :( Was thinking of getting a bala shark instead.     Fishyfish890

Yes sorry got the name wrong.... Can I rename the title? So basically I can't feed them normal fish flakes? Also, when you say a foot long does that mean I can not keep them in my 120l tank or will they grow too large? If so how long does it take to grow to that size?   Many thanks,   Fishyfish890

Hi everyone,   Just wondering you would feed crown loaches? Would it be okay to just feed them with normal tropical fish flakes like my other fish, or would I need to feed them something that floats to the bottom? Any suggestions would be great.   Many thanks,   Fishyfish890

Thanks for the advice, but sorry just checked my databank and the most updated result is the same as the above however nitrate and nitrite is 0 - sorry.

Hi everyone,   I just wanted to ask what green tiger barbs can live with? At first I wanted gouramis but after watching them fight and what people say about the gourami's fins being nipped I have decided to go with small fish but I can not find any small fish that will live with them. For...

Hi everyone,   Just asking how to cycle a new tank? Is it ok to leave a tank for 2 weeks without using filter start and then add a shoal of fish?   Many thanks, Fishyfish890

No, star4 do not worry I'm not looking for more fish and I if I was I'm not adding them for another 8 weeks.   Ok, thank you everyone ofr your suggestions,   Fishyfish890

Ok thanks for your suggestions everyone. I have one last question; How should I cycle a tank? In my previous tank all my fish died because of a bacteria bloom and that was because there was not any feces for the bacteria. That is why I have not added anything other than the tapsafe. Also If I...
