I ditched the pad because after a week it had basically disintegrated and was just a lump in the filter, I liked the bio balls because they just fitted under the sponge holder quite well but that's up to you. I also found that there is a gap at the top of of the filter which I put a mesh bag of...

I've got the all-pond solution filter for my tank, the one you're looking at. I think its really good, its compact and has been running for a year for me which is great. It can be quite noisy so I had to shove a sock between the pipe and the main body to stop it from rattling. It worked well for...

Yes I have thought I have always gone through reputable people so I can be sure I know what im getting also I tend to pick up so I can check teh species is correct

i will do lights of at the moment also he's hiding behind the ludwigia but tomorrow ill try and grab some photos

I got him today, He's really beautiful just drip aclamenting him now. Colours are really nice and he looks healthly

Yeah you could use a small craft knife or a box cutter and run that carefully along the glass to remove it I did that one a vivarium of mine

no like your process for cleaning the filter

I wouldn't take the ornaments out and rinse them as this can kill beneficial bacteria also try not to clean tank and filter all on the same day as this can remove to much of the beneficial bacteria How did you use to clean the tank filter in the past?

yeah when first reading ops post ammonia burn sounded like the most obvious option to me

mmh if test is all ok that's a little weird: Could send a photo and post your water paraterter

Yeah thast the scientific name for lucky bamboo and well it can grow with its stem submerged but nit the leaves they should be submerges, in most case the plant will just slowly rot away and not grow proberblya nd then die making your water quality bad you can try but i wouldnt plant the leaves...

ayy we said the same nice

Not all though some wild bettas are a bit more aggressive and research on to each species is important Hope this helps Ember :)

In reference to betta species I find the "wild" betta to live much longer the fancy tailed betta splendins in shops have a life span of "3-5 years" but most will never live that long. I find they are so prone to fin rot, tumour, swimming problems such as swim bladder issues and more than most...

yeah, I tend to like wild strains of fish that are captive breed as they are pretty hardy, I find the more the fish are selective breed the weaker they are. As an example goldfish, I have a pond of the standard single-tailed comet and common goldfish and minus colour they have pretty much the...

Which species of fish In general wild fish (not wild court but wild strains) tend to be hardier and live longer in my experience

Could be colouration of the fish it’s hard to tell from photos but my gold fish change colour as they age

Looks a little bit like a lucky bamboo shoot

oh happy birthday, @Crispii hope you have a good day

you may have a hard time finding a shop that could sell you these fish if you dont want to ship i doubt many shops would ever carrier them and i dont know of any breeders

If they are a male and a female they will defiantly breed so if you don't want a pregnant fish then i don't think you will be fine. You could remove one and keep only one gender though it can be quite hard to sex young fish depending on how old the fish at your shop are. Is there a reason you...

Sorry there I'm on really hard water so wouldnt be able to give any great recomendations

Another opption for hard water is a Betta Mahachai there a more hardwater tolerate wild betta species which im getting for my 7 Gallon

These if im not mistake are Least killifish which I found to be really rare in the uk

What are the water parameters

Some type of mollie you are correct maybe a high fin. And from what I can see top one is a male and bottom one is a female

I dont breed them but i know some places to get rarier fish if you would like

Im not upset just disapointed

yeah both

I would like to try it again one day

tired sking it was so cold and the mountain had more ice than snow so it was hard, had some good fun though

Aquatic design centres are great I've used them before for basically all my fish needs and there super helpful all there stuff is really high quality

it could be a few things Unfortunately, because guppies are super cheap often shops don't put that much effort into them so they come in underweight as you said, it can be hard to get them eating again and often they might be too far gone. It is always better to spend those extra few pounds or...

if you want some rarer nano fish: a small group of pseudomugil luminatus Bubble bee gobies I've never kept them but maybe a small group of shell dwelling multifasciatus if you can get you to water hard enough Possible a type of wild betta like beta mahachai Medaka rice fish are super cool If...

Well I can help a bit with the foam, sometimes with certain filters like sponge filters or if you have an air stone, the anomia in the tank can form a foam on the top, it's a great visual way of telling that there is anomia present. On the side of the algae, early tanks can have algae problems...

I've been able to find one a while of searching and finally, a captive breed male I'm thinking of ordering him and just keeping him as a solo specimin

do you want a tank recommendation or fish for the tank?
