Hello, not been on here for a while but have been enjoying my fish since my last visit. Iv had a cycled tank now for almost 6 months. It’s 160 litres and is home to my community of fish. I replace 80% of the water every 10-14 days and in the last 3 months I have lost no fish 🐠 :-) However…...

Currently 11 rummy nose 11 cardinal tetra 3 honey gourami 2 umberella cichlid Then I was going for 1 more this Sunday (Either the shrimps or the corydorus) Are you advising against this? I thought 5 was ok ?

Thank you for all the information @jaylach The tank size I have is 100x40x40cm at 160 litres. I like the look of the fish, it says on seriously fish that the require between 36 and 215 hardness. Would these suit my community @Essjay Including living with the cherry shrimps? @jaylach has...

@Byron Currently I have 11 runny nose tetras, 11 cardinal Tetras 3 honey gourami and 2 apisto cichilids I am about to purchase 6 cherry shrimp @jaylach I’m always looking for new breeds, it’s been a struggle to find compatible ones.

What is the difference between algae and problem algae? @Byron Yes it’s hard to see in the picture it’s like green spots that are starting to appear on the glass at the front. Iv also noticed that a few of the ornaments are getting a bit on them. Is it best to clean the ornaments with a...

Thanks @CaptainBarnicles haha yeh I may enter the tank competition. Okay, shall I reduce the light Time down to 7 hours? Yeh a little sad about the fish as I have tried my best for them, yeh I do expect the algae but what should I do about what’s there? Should I clean all the glass on the...

https://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/otocinclus-macrospilus/ Is this the one you mean @MuddyWaters I think mollies are for hard water unfortunately

Ok, I won’t put the light on in the morning before work, and then whenever I come home on my lunch (this can be between 12 and 3) I will put the light on, then turn it off 8 hours later. Yes t thinking about it, it could be one of the cardianls I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Should...

The lights are on 7:30 - 8:30 am (1 hour) Then about 1:30pm till 10pm

Yeh I did kind of expect that.. however the tiny fish isn’t one I have bought. I bought 12 rummy nose and there’s still 11 in the tank. I don’t know we’re the tiny fish has come from ??

Very strange day today @Essjay @CaptainBarnicles So I came to do my water change this evening and have my first look inside the filter. 1st: When I looked at the tank, I saw a snail. This must have come in on one of the plants. 2nd: Unfortunately one of my rummies has passed away. And it...

@Essjay @CaptainBarnicles I’m still not 100% sure the sex of the 2 honey gouramis can you please confirm

Maybe just one more breed. 😜 I planned on 5

Thank you! I’m well happy, the 30th?

So I now have in the aquarium 12 Rummy Nose Tetras 12 Cardinal Tetras 2 Honey Gourami (1 male 1 female) 2 Agassiz Dwarf Cichlid What’s next Saturday?!?!?

@Essjay Apistogramma Agassizii

Picked these up today :) One is female and does have the line down the middle (right pic) you just can’t see on this pic

Yes that is the correct size for the tank, the two breeds of 12 are rummie nose a cardinal tertra. I have very soft water. at i think 29PPM @Essjay Ive just had a look on seriously fish - Laetacaras - 18-268 ppm these would suit my water type. How many should you get? Males /...

Yes it was Bradford that came up for me the second time I did it. Its about 50 miles away :(

@Byron As it stands I have 24 fish I’m my tank (of 2 breeds) So what I wanted to avoid now was adding in another big group of the same fish. I would like some corys BUT everyone is saying the NEED to be in larger numbers. I’m looking for about another 3 or 4 breeds of colourful fish that...

This is Dolly one of our two Pugs. She is only just had her first birthday she does have an older sister mable. As you can see she is very mischievous 😏

the rummies spend 99% of their time at the bottom front of the tank whizzing back and fourth, The cardinal have gone *slightly timid* since more rummies were added they “hover”at the back middle of the tank, except for one which likes to swim with the rummies all the time haha

I thought they would be a more yellow colour. Which is what I was looking for. Ok well at least know pier does them, I could get 1 male 1 female 1 male 2 female Or if only sold in pairs 1 male 3 female I guess now it’s the other breed. Something vibrant! 😍

Pier sent me a video But I can only upload photos here I think so I took a screen shot of the video.

@Essjay I have stated in my original message that you can see above that it’s honey ones.
