Thanks for the info. I'm guessing this is something they came with from the shop. What's the best treatment for this?

Morning all, I bought 6 female platys from my LFS 11 days ago. They were the first fish in my newly cycled 180l tank. They're being fed flaked food twice a day, they've had 2 20% water changes and the water is reading 0,0,10ppm 7ph temp 25. They've been eating fine, grown, had many babies and...

Thank you! I have taken them out of the substrate and they are floating free. Thankfully I have a huge bit of bigwood in my tank they can attach to

I'm setting up a planted tank and just bought some new ones and they are currently in quarantine. Not sure what they are as they were just sold as "bunched aquatic plants" any ideas?

So my tank set up has been going well. It's a 180l Jewel corner tank. I've pulled out most of the standard filter components and put in loads of biomass with some sponges. I've started a fish free cycle and it's almost ready (if it's down to 0% ammonia tonight) for fish. The tank currently only...

So I'm almost ready to put some water in my tank. I've ripped my Jewel Bioflow apart, put in some medium, coarse and fine sponges and a huge bag of ceramic rings. I've taken out the old T5 bulbs and put in LEDs which are good for plants. I've soaked my bogwood until the water is clear and it...

Don't worry - I will take notes then read up about it when I get home. I will not be walking out of the shop with anything tomorrow, not even some sand/gravel.

So done some more reading around and think maybe some dwarf synodontis petricola with some Lake Tebera rainbowfish, vallisneria, anubias nana and java moss could work as a set-up. Swordtails look like they could work in the water I have as well. Any thoughts? I have a very reputable LFS that's...

It's a 2nd hand one and I am not planning on buying any fish for at least 2 months. The new tank stand has to be built, the water properly cycled and my knowledge increased before I get any fish.

Thanks for all the help. I'm picking the tank up this evening so will be able to get the above mentioned measurement then. Having had a look at seriouslyfish.com it looks like Rift Lake species would do well with my hardness. I like the look of dwarf synodontis petricola but Cichlids seem a...

The tank is 50cm high, 67cm deep and 97cm wide

Hi Essjay, Thanks for your reply. I've found a number of 310.10ppm for my water which is pretty hard so fish and plants for this water would be great. Many thanks

Afternoon all, Thank you in advance for welcoming me to fishforums.net. I have just purchased a 200l corner tank (after watching too many episodes of Tanked) and now need to organise making my own little ecosystem. I've done what seems like endless research over the last couple of weeks and...
