First time i have ever seen this, laid her eggs on the glass. Unfortunately the other fish saw it as food and they were gone in seconds. I have read that the eggs should be moved to a smaller tank, but i don't have the space or the extra equipment required. So can i use a net breeding tank and...

  The tank is 180L,fluval 206 + smaller intank filter   3 bronze cory 1 albino cory 6 ghost tetras 1 pygmy catfish (can't remember the actual name, but was told it would grow no bigger than about 6") 3 red mollies 3 Puntias pentazona 3 clown Loaches, closest things to Nemo, for my kids. ( when...

Yes, looks like them, thanks

I know it would be easier with pictures, but camera is lost in the house somewhere. I bought 5 of the same fish from my local aquarium today, but can't remember what they are. They look similar to tiger Barbs, but mine have 5 vertical stripes as opposed to the 4 tigers have. Any ideas, i will...

I have a 180L tank and will be putting the following in- once it has finished cycling 10 Neon Tetras 5 glow light tetras 5 silver tip Tetras 5 Red eye Tetras 5 Lemon Tetras 6 Bronze Cories   What fish can i add as a "center" piece that won't see the rest as breakfast,lunch and dinner.

Measure the height, U2 is 20cm, the U3 is 27cm according to their website

Went round a friends and he gave me some filter medium, so hopefully things will progress quicker now

On day 10 following the instructions on this forum, but not sure if it's working or not. Since the initial dose of ammonia, my readings have more or less stayed the same. I'm using the API master kit and get the following readings, is it a case of just waiting and testing every 3 days, or has...

The second picture is so much better. I would go for live plants as well, the plastic never looks right to me. My in-laws have a mixture of live and plastic, the plastic ones stand out like a sore thumb.

Its a Juwel vision 180L approx 92cmx41cmx55cm high and is lightly planted. There is some driftwood and slate with a play sand substrate

On day 1 my readings after adding 1.3ml of ammonia (35% strength) i had the following readings- Ammonia 3ppm Nitrite 0.25ppm Nitrate 10 ppm   On day 4 i now have readings of - Ammonia 2ppm Nitrite 0ppm Nitrate 20ppm   Is my tank cycling as it should be, i'm following the guides on this forum

I'm not to sure what the rock is, so i played safe and got some slate. For the cost of a few pound i thought it wasn't worth taking a risk with the "ironstone".

Thanks for the help and i do like things that are simple, will make my life easier as well. I hope i have them in the right places in the tank

Hi, those were my tap readings. I added 3ppm of ammonia and done the water test about an hour later. All the readings are as they should be

Bought some plants off E**y and it seems you are sent a random selection, but they don't tell you what you will actually receive. So i have tried googling and think i found out what species they are,but not 100% sure. Maybe someone can ID them for me please.  

Ok, got my tank filled up (Juwel Vision 160L) and started on the "aquascaping". I went for slate bought from the local garden center and  play sand on the bottom. Also have some driftwood in there,from lfs and just waiting on some live plants. The filter is a fluval 206 external which states its...

Thanks for this, i didn't realize the clowns got that big

It will be a couple of months before i start to buy any fish,depending on how well the cycle goes. But i was wondering what fish will go together ok with out to many problems. I have to have a shark,(sons insistence)maybe redtail version and i do like the Clown Loaches. Also a Pleco of some...

Hi, i will do, just waiting on things in the post. Next day delivery and still waiting a week later.

Great looking tank, what is the plant covering all the bottom

Hi, i did read that thread,.thanks. Here are a couple of pictures, i think its iron stone.

I'm totally new, and am in the process of setting a tropical aquarium up. Can i use ironstone rocks in the tank, i can't find a definitive answer on whether you can or not. I have loads of this in the garden, with some nice looking pieces

This will be my first aquarium and i will be going tropical. I have a Juwel vision 180l, bought second hand, comes with a heater and wavemaker, nothing else. The previous owner kept saltwater fish, so i have cleaned everything up with vinegar and plenty of clean water. I will be using play sand...
