Hi, Have a mixture of some baby and adult Platy's for sale from a clean and established tank. Buyer must collect from Stoke-on-trent area (Trentham) and am looking for £0.50 per Platy. Thanks James

When you say take some of the media, what do you mean? In the Juwel filters there is just 4 filter sponges, all of which fit the Juwel filter perfectly. Are you saying take one of these sponges out and try to incoroporate it in the new (non-Juwel) tank? Thanks

Anyone?

Hi, I have a Juwel Rio 125 Tank with sand as a substrate and approx 20 fish (neons, tetras, platys and corys). Over the last few weeks we have gained approx 10 baby Platys which are now fairly large and am sure will all survive. I want to move these to a new smaller tank. Basically my...

Moving in a couple of weeks..what shall i do about the 15 baby fish. Not sure how i'm going to catch them!

Will be moving about 3 miles. Was thinking about using a trolley to get it onto the back of a van. Then literally sitting in the back of the van holding onto it for grim death making sure it didnt rattle about. Also getting the driver to go no faster than 30 mph! Do you think this is possible?!

OK, can somebody please advise on what I should do... I own a 125 litre tank that has about 20 fish (mainly platies, corys and tetras). I have 2 problems, firstly i am moving house soon and really dont know how i'm going to move all of the fish without causing them stress. Do you think it...

Hi Guys, I've had my Juwel 125Ltr tank set up with sand as a substrate for the last couple of months. All I want to do is add another couple of inches of sand as I didn't quite put enough in the first time round. Bearing in mind that I now have over 20 fish in my tank what would be the best...

Hi, I have successfuly moved all of my fish into a new tank and want to use my old one as an emergency/quarantine tank. Will all of my bacteria in the filter die off as soon as I take all of the water out? Thanks in advance

Thanks for your advice everybody....it is much appreciated

Right guys, I have the following in my 125 ltr tank: 5 x panda corys 5 x neon tetras 5 x lemon tetras 4 x platys I am looking at adding 2 gouramies to finish my tank off but am a little uneasy about their (sometimes) aggressive nature. Could somebody please tell me what gouramies would be...

Hi, I have a 125ltr tank and have the following: 5 x neon tetras 5 x lemon tetras 4 x platy's 4 x panda corys I am happy with my current stock but as all of my fish are fairly small I just feel that 2 slightly larger fish would finish off my tank lightly. I had considered 2 dwarf gouramie...

OK, my stats are now: Ammonia 0.5 (will top it up back to 4) Nitrite 0.5 Nitrate 5 Not sure what this means??? :S

Hi Guys, My tank has been cycling for 26 days and I have been taking the ammonia reading daily and making sure that once it hits 1.0 I top it back up to 4/5. The ammonia is now going from 4/5 to 1.0 in about 24 hours. I took the nirite reading 3 days ago and it was 2.....it is now 0.1. How...

My tank is entering into its 3rd week of fishless cycling and is also cloudy with loads of brown algae. Can somebody please confirm what will eventually make the algae/cloudiness go? I can't see how doing a 90% water change at the end will get rid of all the brown algae :S

I leave the lights on for a couple of hours a night...is that a lot? airstone is not touching the glass

Hi, I am currently 11 days into cycling my new tank and I added some Ammonia on the 7th day once I read up on how to do a 'fishless' cycle. 2 quick beginner questions: 1) There is a brown like moss substance growing on my Bogwood and it is getting worse each day. Is this algae? If so, is...

OK, did a 30% water change last night but still the same. Really confused as to why it was clear for the first 2 days and then went cloudy. Will keep doing water changes unless anybody else has any suggestions?

Anyone??!!??

OK not sure where i've gone wrong but here goes... I bought some non-toxic playsand for my new 125 ltr tank and spent over an hour washing it to remove the unwanted smaller grains of sand. Added the sand to my tank along with the decor and then filled the tank with water. At first the water...

Woops..feel embarrased now :*) Thanks

Hi, I have just set up my new Juwel Rio 125 tank and I am really confused!!! The Juwel filter system which is enclosed in the big black casing is fully submurged in water. However, the instructions tell me that I need to change some of the sponges on a regular basis. How am I meant to do...

Hi, I want a Plec to go into my 27.5 UK gallon tank for the sole reason of keeping the tank clean by eating the algae. What are my options (if any) bearing in mind my relatively small tank? Thanks in advance

Hi, I am thinking of putting the following into my new 27.5 UK gallon tank: 5 Platy's 5 Guppies 10 Neon Tetras 5 Panda Corys 1 Siamese Fighter I suppose what I'm asking is a) Are there any compatability issues with these fish and B) Would my tank be too under/over crowded Many Thanks in advance

Can somebody please advise as to whether this tank is ok for a beginner..Thanks

Hi, I have a tank gallon cycled tank with 3 Platy's. Recently I have added 3 Panda Cory's which must be only a couple of months old as they are tiny! They have settled in fine but I am slightly concerned that they are not getting enough food. Whenever I put any flakes into the tank the 3...

Does anybody who has used Methylene Blue know roughly how many water changes it will take to remove it? Having done more research I have discovered that Malachite Green would be the best medication to try. Many Thanks

Thanks everone for your help

Okay thanks for all yor help. Last 2 questions.. If I remove the sponge I take it I should just keep it in a container or something and NOT clean it with tap water. Also, is there anything I will need to replace after I have returned the sponge when the treatment is finished?

Yes, I do have a black sponge. I did not remove this when I added the Methylene Blue... should I remove this now? If so do i need to get a replacement and when do I replace it? Sorry to ask so many questions!

I used this one as it says on the side.... - For use in the treatment for ich - For use when fish or hovering near the top or bottom of the tank Still a little confused by 'removing the carbon'.... I have not got another sponge so I take it I will need a replacement. Really confused now...

Hi, I have been having a few problems with my fish and one in particular. It has been developing ich and has been hovering either really close to the top or right on the bottom. I checked my readings and got the folowing: Ammonia: 0.1 Nitrates: 10 Nitrites: 1 I then bought some Methylene...

Hi, I have had a 10 gallon tank for 4 weeks now and have 3 platy's. I did some tests yesterday and here are the results: Ammonia - 0.25 Nitrate - 10 Nitrite - 1.5 Basically, I know that the ammonia and nitrite should be 0 but would I be ok to add a couple more fish?

I have a 10 gallon tank and started off with 3 female Platies. A few days ago I added 1 more male Platy (I was advised that there needs to be more females than males). Everything was fine to start with and he settled in straight away. All of the fish were getting on well with each other and...
