A week ago, I thought it was white spot first of all so I put some white spot control on with the last water change a few days ago. What do mean by the ready of my water parameters?

Hi, I’m having an issue and I am scared for my fish. A week ago these fleshy white spots appeared on my female dwarf gouramis. They share the 80L tank with a single male dwarf gourami and a shrimp. The tank is kept at a nice 24 degrees Celsius and I clean the tank every week and do a 30% water...

Hi all! So I have had my 80 Litre (roughly 17.5 Gallon) tank for a few weeks now and my first fish; 5 cardinal tetras (which I added after waiting 2 weeks), and 2 Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami (one male and one female, another 2 weeks after the tetras), as well as an Albino Bristlenose Pleco...

Hmm, that’s strange because those are the dimensions but the product page advertises it as a 64 Litre tank... on a volume calculator site it calculates them dimensions for an 88 Litre tank... strange, here is the store page in question, I think I must be missing something...

The tank I want to get is 61 Length x 44 height x 33 width. Would this be too small? If was only to get 2? Maybe if I went down to 1?

I was looking at White Cloud Mountain Minnows, are they a better option? They are hardier than neons but still maintain the colourful looks

I see, is there any kind of harder water tetras or danios I could get instead?

Also I forgot to add, I was thinking of getting a couple shrimp as well but apparently Platys can sometimes eat shrimp as they get a little larger. Also I read that shrimp should not really be in the same tank as fish as they tend to hide away and not eat! Is this true? I could just forget the...

Ok, just a quick update! I went to see my friend’s fish and they were in a bit of a bad condition squeezed in that tank and the water was very dirty, I said I wouldn’t be able to take any if he’s fish but I told him that he should find some kind shelter for them or take them to Pets-at-Home(as...

Does my friend have too many fish in his tank? All them fish in a 12 gallon tank sounds a bit too much...

I see so RO water is the only option really... Luckily I checked in with my local pet shop and they provide it. So if my tank is 64L(14 gallons) should I try to have half of that 32L pure water at all times?

Thank you for the advice. Would a water softener work almost as well? Or would it be unhealthy for the fish?

Would you be able to recommend any equipment and would said equipment be expensive?

Thank you for the tips, So if I was to keep tetras or similar fish I should look for a water softener? My water is hard here...

Thanks for the tips! The feeding part was because I haven’t actually found any exact info as a lot of people say to just estimate it yourself and see how much food you fish eat in 30 seconds and if they are not eating very quick then they are not hungry supposedly but your feeding technique...

Sorry for the long reply everyone, always working these days. My water is hard at 104 Ca mg/L. But I could buy something that could make the water softer perhaps? I have some Tetra AquaSafe already that a friend gave me and it apparently reduces chlorine. As for the fish I was contacted by a...

ahh I see, so I would be better off reducing it to 2 angelfish? Male and female?

Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami, if I was to buy the Angelfish young (when they are only 4cm across) and then move them to a larger tank in the future when they get older, would that work?

Hello, I am completely new to aquariums but I really want to get into it and I have done as much research as I possibly can (while I saved up for it). I have researched cleaning, feeding, aquarium set up and which fish get along with which and I think I have decided what tank I wanted to get...
