Thanks for your quick reply. I got up earlier before work and did what you said. I think it's done the trick, it's .25 now so i will do another change and gravel clean tomorrow night. The shrimps are a lot happier. I've got an AQUAEL ASAP filter 700. I clean it by brushing any debris off the...

Hi, I've got a 110l planted tank with 2 platys, 5 fry, 2 danios, 7 shrimp and a nerite snail. The tank was set up about 4 months ago using substrate, water and a filter from a tank that had been going for 3 years. I have added a piece of bog wood about 3 months ago, 2 plastic plants about 6...

That's a brilliant idea, thanks. I moved the older fry to a spare tank last night but I found it in the filter spray earlier :( it isn't a powerful filter so I don't know what happened but I will put something (I think I used a bit of a pair of tights last time) over the filter to stop any fry...

Thank you all so much for taking the time to reply. The 2 parent platies are from fry 3 years ago, they have only started reproducing since they have gone into a bigger tank so I'm reliving the drama that's a really good idea about putting the adults in a bucket for a short while and trying to...

Thanks so much for the reply. I've got 2 moss balls on the gravel and a floating plant in between the artificial long grass. There are 4 live plants in the tank as well. I was worried about feeding the little fry as well. Will it just pick what it wants off the moss balls?

My platy has had fry yesterday and i can see one. Managed to catch 1 a few weeks ago and its currently in a breeding box in the main tank. I can't catch the new one ☹ I have got some new plants in and I just can't get it. I have just been and bought a bushy thick artificial plant and I have...

As requested i have attached some photos of my new 105l tank which i set up about a month ago using water, substrate and filter from my old tank. I'm leaving the algae to grow on the back for the zebra snail and platies. The wood/drift wood (which the shrimps love hanging upside down under) and...

Hi, I bought some acquarium plants yesterday from a fish pet shop. I asked if they had been treated with pestiside and they said not to their knowledge and they were okay with the shrimps they sell in the shop. I had a bad experience with plants from pets at home a few years ago even after...

Thanks so much, I will try and return the tank and see what I can get rectangular tank wise (fingers crossed) I won't be listening to p@h anymore. I will get some water hardner too. Thanks again.

Thanks very much for the reply. I phoned the water company and the only figure they could give me was PH which was 7.37 (they didn't know what GH or KH were) I was told by Pets at Home that the 25l tank was 12 fish points and my fish were 4 fish points so I could add more in future. I didn't get...

Hi, I have had my 2 tanks and fish for 3 years now. They all get on well, no aggression. I've got 2 x 25 litre tanks one with 1 zebra danio, 1 leapord danio and a male platy, 3 shrimp a snail (and some pesky small snails that came in on some weed) The other tank has 2 female platys and 4 shrimps...
