I understand that now and thankyou for sorting it out.

Ah, got it! Thanks !!

I don’t see any numbers of Diamond Tetra suggested in the other thread. I’m sure if the moderators have a problem with me, they’ll combine/delete my duplicate question, or let me know. Sorry if I am cheesing anyone else off on my second day on this site.

Thankyou for the livestock and hardscape suggestion! That’s really kind to take the time to do that. I’ll definitely check out the hardscape items. I’ve been needing a bit of guidance on this! Loaches are out I’m afraid. I’m not keen on the look of them, they’re too fussily coloured for my...

Ah this is because I was chatting to someone and decided to ask as I’ve noticed he’s so knowledgable! I’m not too sure of the the etiquette or navigation of the site forums yet. It’s pretty vast. So, forgive me anyone if I make errors . I saw your post explaining that Silver Dollars and...

Thankyou for the compliment re my tank! That journal sounds useful! Where would i find that tool please ? (If it’s a tool!)

True. They were recommended but I’m not keen on the fleshy nose! I like the Jiuli Corys. I also discovered Silver Dollars last night ? I haven’t looked too deeply into compatibility with behaviour, feeding, temp, PH etc yet, but what would be peoples opinions on this selection please? 8 Veil...

shall I let you into a secret ? (I don’t like Plecos) ?

‘River or lake’ haha. Yes. Sorry. Not ocean! I was originally going to go Marine! Your advice and kindness to my naivety is fab! Thankyou.

Yep, this is the majority of advice I’ve heard. Get more. Thin out as necessary. Apparently that’s a lot easier than trying to introduce new Angels to an established shoal. Thankyou.

O oh .... I’ve discovered Silver Dollars... ? What are thoughts on the following in a 117.90 gallon tank; 8 Veiltail Angels 6 Regular Silver Dollars 10 Diamond Tetra 8 Albino Corys I’m aware that I’m purely going on aesthetics and loosely learning of compatibility at the moment. I’ve...

It’ll be a pleasure! This is where it all begins ...

Thankyou. Safe to say I certainly won’t be buying any coloured Danios.. wow

Of all the conflicting info on livestock and compatibilities I’ve come across over the months that I’ve been considering this hobby, it’s Danios that I’m most on the fence about! I heard the coloured ones are actually illegal and may have even been tattooed or dyed their bright colours!

Ok. Everyone is in invited to my aquarium unveiling day, except Colin! I’m quite fond of my cat and rabbits ?

Ooh, they’re beautiful and I had a little read about them. It sounds as if I might be a little too novice for them and I heard they can choke if their food isn’t mashed. I’m guessing the Angels then have to have their food mashed too? I’m finding it fascinating learning all these things though...

Hi Byron and thankyou for going to this effort to advise me. Very much appreciated! So, yes. You’d see on one of my first posts yesterday, I was concerned at the amount of Angels and other tankmates that several local stores have urged me to get. I originally wanted just 8 Angels. Nothing more...

Oh my Goodness .... I’ve just discovered Diamond Tetras .... ? These are the look I was thinkjg of ..: but veil nippers ?

I’m addicted to learning about tank mates and working out what they all bring to the table. It seems everything is more than just a pretty face! I’ve a while to go before my tank is ready for livestock but I’m having tons of fun wondering what to have in it when it is! After careful...

Your reassurance that I’m ok to enjoy ‘less is more’, is good enough for me! Thankyou. I really wasn’t sure about the number of Angels as I was told the more I have, the happier and more harmonious they are.

So, I’m a fishkeeping novice but busy doing my research. I’ve swapped my TV for an Evolution Aqua 1500s. All 536 litres / 117.90 gallons of it, and I’m too excited to sleep! I wanted to fill it with 8 Veil Angels - the most romantically floaty I could find - 4 deep black and 4 pure white, as...

Haha.. brilliant! I look forward to virtually meeting him!

What a friendly bunch! :) The tank is in fantastic condition - just a bit dusty and finger marked in the tank and salt water evidence over the sump surfaces and pipework. Only 18 months old and broken down by the previous owner. It comes on a pristine white gloss cabinet. I’ve a long way to go...

Thankyou! That’s perfect! Really looking forward to learning from the pros on here. Thanks for having me!

Done my research and ready to begin! First stop, cleaning my ‘new’ Evolution Aqua Reefpro 1500s. What ratio of water to white vinegar should I use please?
