the firemouths are excellent parents and i can guarantee that no fish will get hold of them. i have 2 angel fish in my tank which are virocious eaters and have yet to be able to get at my fry which are now 7 days old and going strong

Hi, yesterday i made myself a DIY co2 reactor using yeast and soda bottles. Problem is that over night a large amount of yeast mixture has entered my tank and made the water very cloudy. First thing i did this morning was to do a 50% water change however the water is still extremly cloudy. Is...

my friends and family think i am crazy and it has taken some time to get my wife on side. She is now a little more supportive than before but she still gives me those funny looks when i say that i am getting some more fish, equipment or plants etc LOL oh well

Just a quick thought / question Does anyone know if firemouth cichlids ever eat snails??? the reason i ask is that i recently got 4 new firemouths and i put them into my quarantine tank. This tank had a good amount of apple snails in it. yesterday i put the firemouths into their new 100 gallon...

hi can anyone tell me if convict chichlids would be ok in a tank with angels, firemouth chichlids and kribs????

my pump rate is 1050ltrs per hour but i cannot change the flow rate as it is fixed

Hi there i am currently setting up a new 100gallon (450ltr) chichlid tank. At the moment all that is in the tank is a pair of angel fish. They have just spawned today (didn't know they were a pair until now, LOL) basically i only own one other tank and the fry cannot go in that tank because it...

yep i would second that, my angels have always made a sound during feeding time.

yep but not too fussed as you said algae looks quite nice on my logs and rocks and my plecs love eating the algae anyway so i encourage a little algae growth. the only time i do something about the algae is if the front glass gets a little too much on it or i get blooms in the water which...

i'm pretty sure you can buy a water changing kit (seen one somewhere just can't remeber where). however if you can't find one you could also purchase a submersible pump connect a hose to the outlet of the pump, put the pump in the tank and the other end of the hose in a drain / sink. once in...

StrontiumDog, you are a star :D :clap: this forum rocks once again big thanks to all you guys

thats a very helpful article thanks

thanks :D

the lumps are small and do not resemble any of the images from that link with regards to Lymphocystis, or any other. i am going to try and get a photo showing you the fish hopefully that way you guys may have a better chance at identifying the problem

yes it is just the plectoral fins, one has it only on one fin the other has it on both fins. no marks anywhere else on the body, water conditions are as follows ammonia = 0 nitrite = 0 nitrate = 10 ph is 7.2 temp is 25 / 77 degrees if it is Ich when is the best time to treat the tank and what...

when i remove it from the water the leaves dont sag, but the plant has been in my tank for about a week now and the roots are growing, so this confuses me even further because i always thought (right or wrong, probably wrong) non aquatic plants wont grow. thanks for all the help so far guys...

were the fish added to the tank at the same time???? if so it might just be that the tank wasn't quite ready to handle that many new occupants. my advice would simply be to continue to make water changes as you are until the levels balance out at 0 again.

Hi I recently purchased 2 new angel fish i have been keeping them in a quarantine tank for the last two weeks and a few days (about 4) ago i noticed that both of them are showing signs of ragged plectoral fins. Just at the edge of the plectoral fins there are some white lumps, these lumps have...

Please help, my wife bought me this plant as a present but i have no idea what type of plant it is, can anyone tell me so that i can research it and identify it needs and also to make sure it will be safe with my fish.The plant has a leaf a little like a fern with a very strong stem and think roots.

all the time, over the last 2 months i have built my own fish tank, stand and canopy and every night i lie in bed thinking about what i need to do next and what fish i am going to get freaky aint it :D

are there fish in the tank or is it simply just plants at the moment?????

macclesfield, cheshire

at the moment the tank will contain about 4-5 angels, 1 plec, possibly a couple of cordorys, this is as far as i have got to defining my livestock for the community tank

can anyone else suggest suitable tank inhabitants that provide a range of small to large fish??????

yes agitating the surface will remove the film, but if you are worried about something being in the tap water that might be adding to the problem there are a couple of things that you might like to check. Seeing as you are currently cycling the water within the tank have you used a...

i personally would recommend an eheim wet & dry model no 2227 would be perfect for your size tank, (i currently have a 100 gallon tank running a eheim wet &dry 2229) the flow rate is done on a wave like motion and as such provides a steady but gently flow around the tank, they are very quiet...

I have a 100 gallon tank 4ft*2ft*2ft that i am currently stocking as a community tank, i went to the lfs today and saw some beautiful firemouth chiclids, i asked the shop owner for some advice on the number of firemouths to keep in the tank but he was lets say less than helpful. i was thinking...

thanks for the advice that is really very helpful, the tank is 100 gallons (450litrs)

i would suggest getting something like nitra-zorb asap in order to remove the excess ammonia and nitrite, once you have removed the toxins i would suggest adding a dose of something like bactozyme in order to raise the levels of beneficial bacteria. what filtration are you using? do you have a...

yes the tank is fully cycled

Hi everyone wondering if any of you can help me decide on the type of fish to keep in my new tank. I have a 4ftx2ftx2ft tank which is running the following equipment Eheim 2229 wet & dry filter 2 x visitherm 300watt heaters 1 x 42" flourecent lighting 1 x 42" blue flourescent lighting...
