Thank you for the reply. I will do another dose then because the bottle says to do another dose after 3 days. The jelly spots I’ve just spotted more on the glass and on the snails too. That’s a relief that it’s just snails eggs. I really appreciate your advice thank you.

Good evening all, Ive had a bit of a situation here this week with my 60L planted tank. I noticed one of my neon tetras had some white spots on his fins and tail earlier this week. I also have corydoras, a pleco and snails but the only fish that looked infected was that one neon tetra. I did...

Hello sorry for late reply. I’ve been dealing with ick no with one of my neon tetras. Idk what’s going on I’ve never had ick before but it started after I bought some neon tetras from petbarn :’( and yes I intend to move all of my fish into the big tank and keep the smaller one as a quarantine...

Ok I’ll look into that thank u!!

No sorry not my corys, I bought neon tetras a few weeks ago and those are the ones that are missing. The corys are fine

I have bronze corydoras they are so cute. I also bought some neon tetras from petbarn like 3 weeks ago and then I checked on them yesterday and was doing a water change and like 4 of them are just missing. I have no idea what happened but I’m devastated. So now I only have 3 left. I don’t know...

Sorry yeah I only want to have small fish like maybe some corys and try guppies. I’ve never had them before. At the moment I have a smaller tank with some corys, neon tetras and 1 pleco who is hiding away most of the time.

Hi sorry what do you mean by stocking? And yeah after I reseal it and let it cure, I’m going to fill it with water and let it sit for a few days. Hopefully no leaks!

Thank you for the tips very helpful! I still haven’t actually done any work on the tank since I posted this other then strip away all the old silicone and I’m going to reseal it soon just a bit nervous to actually start. Thanks about the bit of missing glass at the back of tank I was actually...

I placed the part of the rocks with moss in some shallow water and just left the glued parts out of water to dry overnight. I didn’t want to risk killing my fish. Thank you!

Good evening everyone :) I’m just super gluing some Java moss onto some rocks for my tank and I’m wondering how long do I have to wait before u can put it into the tank?? Thank you in advance

Hi :) I don’t think the stand came with the tank when they first bought it bc it is slightly uneven, like it wobbles a bit.. so I will need to make the stand even first and then probably get the plywood and also the Matt. Thanks for the advice!

Hello, Yeah the strip on the middle from front to back is glued there and then the tank also came with two other glass panels I guess to place on the sides. I didn’t realise I needed a Matt so thank you for that!

Hi everyone. I’ve recently bought a preowned 250L tank and some people on here were telling me to see if it has crossbars but I’m not too sure if it does so I am gonna post some pictures and just wondering if anyone can tell me if it does and if it needs more because from what I see it only has...

Is this the diamond black stuff you’re talking about?? It says quartz tho so maybe not

Okay thank you I’ll do that for sure!

Ahh okay well I might just go the play sand then if the live plants are fine just with that then why not. Thank you!

Oh true! I will definitely go for that one then! If it’s cheaper then even better bc I don’t have that much money Rn haha

Th Thank you so much for the detailed advice wow! I will definitely go for the play sand or the black diamond sand or both! Where did you buy the black diamond sand? Online? I was actually planning on having some corydoras on the bottom so maybe I should just get the play sand. I didn’t...

Noo I am not doing high tech just wanna use fertilisers yeah :) I just thought plants might not actually stay in the sand? But I guess not if you suggested that haha. Thank you by the way!

Hello! Welcome! what kind of substrate do you have in your planted tanks If you don’t mind me asking

Hi everyone! I’m picking up my 250L tank tomorrow and I’m wanting to have a lot of live plants. I’m wondering what would be the best substrate for a planted tank. I wanted to get the Carib sea eco complete but I can’t find it anywhere online. I don’t think any aquarium shops near me sell it...

Aw thank you! And I didn’t realise it was Garfield person again from my other post haha thank you if there’s any issues with it I will message u if that’s okay! Appreciate it :) are the crossbars just made of glass by the way? So I can check if they are there or are they metal or something?

What are the crossbars? And thank u I will check it over once I go see it on the weekend. Hopefully it’s all good! It comes with the filter and stand so it’s pretty good and for $250

Okay thank you I will do it once a week. I will definitely look into buying the python water charger or hose. The tank I'm buying comes with the Aqua one maxi 104f. Hopefully works well. Thanks for all the advice! yeah I definitely want to get that python thing! Looks much easier to do then...

I have at the moment the Aqua one Vac-a-tank gravel cleaner. And yeah fill a bucket and a half and get rid of that. I use aqua one water conditioner and bio enhancer for the new water. Currently i change the water 1-2 times a week so hopefully having the bigger tank will make water changes less...

I actually only feed one day on, one day off. I swapped my filter about 3 months ago now to an external canister filter. I think the brand name is Sunsun and its the HW-602B model. I had 2 more corydoras, but they died that's why i only have one cory. I know they are meant to be in groups but I...

Okay I will probably get the 250L then. Yeah I’ve actually had so much trouble keeping the water Parameters stable in my 60L and I do 1-2 water changes a week because whenever I test the water, there’s already a spike in ammonia or nitrates. Thank you for the advice.

Hey everyone. I am really considering buying this second hand 250L tank Ive seen on the FB marketplace but I’ve also seen a 120L one and I’m not sure which one to buy. I have currently a 60L tank and I’m going to be using that one as a quarantine tank. Also I currently have 8 neon tetras, 1...

Thanks for the advice I will look into honey gourami and yes once I have the other tank! It’s too heartbreaking when they die I can’t deal with another death :/ Oh okay haha yeah I’ve watched quite a few too :’) I love your pic also, Garfield is one of my fav cartoons!

Do honey gouramis have less issues?? I really need to buy a quarantine tank too and cycle it, I still don’t have one :/ Honestly I have no idea I just found it on google sorry haha :’)

Yeah I just feel so bad. Will not be buying more dwarf gouramis...

Thank you for the reply. I just feel so bad. I hate seeing him suffer like this :( I’m sorry you lost your female too.

Hi everyone I’m not sure what to do. I noticed yesterday my gourami was quite puffy but other than that he was okay. I have a 60L tank with 8 neon tetras, 1 pleco (sucking catfish), 1 corydora( the other one died just a few days after I bought it from petbarn, and the dwarf gourami that is sick...

Noo I also have 8 neon tetras and 1 pleco
