Thanks, they do sound a good option to control these pest snails I have!

Thanks, thats what I assumed too, it was only when doing a google search I started to worry, but I guess if you search for anything on the internet you'll always find something.

I fo have amano shrimp so would be worried the assassin snails could eventually go for them?

Another tank is a good idea but not sure it is practical for us at the moment.

Yeah I have tried to cut down the food a bit, but there always seem to be bits the fish miss. But certainly going to keep trying. Thanks

What a tune though !

I have thought about that, id feel bad about that though lol. Could be a possibility though!

Hi, I have lots and lots of small snails like the one in the photo. I think I can get them out by using a lettuce leaf or something like that. But my question is, is there a humane way to deal with them? I'd feel bad killing them! :) Thanks!

Will do cheers

Thanks everyone for the help. The power came back on Wednesday. So off for 6 days. Rasboras looked a bit pale and they all swimming near the bottom of the tank for some reason. But now they look back to normal and happy. Phew! No fish lost and no shrimps lost (that I can tell).

I tried little water changes where the water was a bit warmer but I did it very slowly. Heating the room seemed to be the best I could try. Still off but I hired a petrol generator and it has made life so much easier! Felt sorry for the fish

Thanks I have taken them out!

Thanks, I have done this. I should have asked earlier but hopefully still be ok. Cheers

Thanks Colin. Is the filter media to be put in the tank so that it gets in contact with more water?

The restore time keeps changing, so annoying! Cant be longer than a day more surely. Its actually ridiculous!

Thanks yeah I have put a blanket round the tank to try and help. Should I agitate the water surface to help oxygenate the water?

Hi, Our power has been out for 3 days now. I have kept the water at 19 degrees as best as I can. I have a dg, harlequin rasboras, cardinals and ammano shrimp. They are in a 90 litre tank. They kinda seem ok ...any tips or advice in this horrible scenario? Luckily we have a wood stove to heat...

Looks good stuff

Sounds good think ill definitely give some of them a go

Makes me feel a bit better! Can I ask what you feed the DG on other than flakes? Been thinking of vegetables but not sure how/what

Ah good point I wonder if it was a shell I saw instead of a body...it was see-through but dud seem to have legs.. could easily have been just a shell

Yeah he did ignore a shrimp with a pellet the other day so thought ut was probably ok or he was just in a good mood!

Hi, I have a Dwarf Gourami, Harlequin Rasboras and cardinal tetras in a 90L tank. I have added 6 Ammano Shrimps recently, they stay hidden in a little rock cave most of the time and I found one dead this morning. I am wondering if the dwarf gourami is scaring them and/or killed one of them. I...

Ok that makes sense. Ill up the 3 colours and leave white setting as is. Cheers

I think it is 3000-25000 k. I have it at about 15% for red, blue and green and about 8% for white. I have up'd it to 15% for all. Maybe it was too low? So hard to tell!

Hi, I thought I did my research well enough to start planting my tank. Maybe I was wrong! I have anubias and java fern which the leaves are turning brown on anubias and black/yellow on java fern. 90l tank i add 1ml of flourish every week and medium lighting(i think?!)....water is 6.8 - 7 PH...

Hi, I have a couple of Anubias plants and they have started to show some dark patches on a few leaves. I am not sure what it is and if I should do something about it. I have no co2 injection and use recommended amount of Flourish once a week. There is also a dead leaf that I just noticed. I...

Great information thanks for the advice, ill give water sprite a try. Also look to trying out a few others. I have lighting on for about 10 hours but not very bright, which is maybe why I no sign of algae Cheers

Hi, I have a 90L tank with a fluval led light which can go really bright (but I have lowered the lighting for the fish) and a fluval u2 filter. Temperature is around 24c, Ph 6.8 and Gdh about 3. Stock wise I have1 Dwarf Gourami, 5 Harlequin rasboras and 8 cardinal tetras. Looking to get some...

Sounds good. Looked up both products and think ill give them a try 👍

Hi, I have a 90L tank with plastic plants. I recently go a few dwarf lettuce floating plants and they are starting to wither a bit. I am totally new to looking after plants. Is there a good guide I should be reading first? Or is it just a case of buying some all in one plant food? Obviously just...

Yeah started with flakes so just looking for a treat to give them!

Thanks going to give this a go today!

Thanks I'll give this a go, I agree best to be Conservative and put less in from the start and gradually build up.

Hi, I just bought some frozen cubes of Red Mosquito Larvae for our fish. We only have a Dwarf Gourami and some Rasboras. Is it ok to slice the cube up and melt it in a cup of tank water, then pour the whole thing back in to the tank? Just heard that some sieve frozen foods first. Thanks!
