Thanks, I’m definitely leaving some room for a couple of clown loach. I probably will leave the top of the tank as it is. A few cories and maybe a bristle nose plec would be good for the bottom, as they shouldn’t bother any of my other fish.

Really. What did ya use for a scale, the space you leave in-between each sentence of ya posts?

Hello all, the male blue dwarf Gourami that I have in my tank, is a stropy git in the mornings. He gets all territorial over the top of the tank and spends about an hour each morning chasing my pearl gourami and female blue dwarf. This will go on until he has had a good graze on the plant tops...

That's a nice fish. It looked big :drool:

Nice Discus. I live in the westmidlands, i've been told my water is too hard for Discus :(

Not too sure what type of snails they are, proabably hitchhikers that came in on plants. I should get them out, but i think my fish like the baby snails :hey: they nearly wiped the snails out, when i first put my mollies in.

If you are in the uk this shopAquaticsfanatics is very good.

I've got two big snails fighting in my tank.At least i think that's what they are doing. :*) On a more serious note, the moonlight strip lights: can they be left on all night or do my fish need a bit of total darkness? The moonlight bulbs seam a little bright, i use a 36" bulb.

If ya shop around you can get a fluval 304 on a reduced price, as the new 05 is in the shops the price on the older models drop. I got a good deal on a fluval 304 :)

A lot of combies are treated with a inhibitor fluid which stops the parts from rusting or getting covered in limescale. In the UK, boiler fitters use a product called sentinal x100 when fitting the combie. You are supposed to get them tested every so often, to make sure the inhibitor fluid is at...

Hia Wanda, a bit late today but if you go to a home brew shop you can get a 25 liter bucket type barrel with a lid, i use two of these which gives me 50 liters of water that is always ready to go in the tank. I just let them get to room temperature add my stress coat stuff, then start to put the...

Lol, Hooker fish. Is this them?

I've never bought anything from a pet chain store (i'm new to fish keepin and have so far stuck to the same shop), but we have one by me it's called "pets at home". I went in a few weeks back, they had signs on all of the tanks that said "fish not for sale due to filter problems" I looked around...

Yes thank's, the black in them fadded and came back all in the space of an hour, funny little fish.

Yea, it probably takes longer the more busy putfile is, but they let you upload 25MB for free :) And unlimited files :) Thanks, the orange one is pretty much the boss of the tank, my mollies are the only fish that my blue gourami don't chase off.

The tank is 120cmx45x65, 300L. I've only four BW tetras, two blue dwarf gourami, two pearl gourami and two mollies, two red eye tetras( moving the red eye tetras to a friends tank soonish) That's twelve altogether.

Just did a gravel vac and 20% water change. The gravel vac works well, it’s the first time I’ve used it. My black widow tetras lost the entire black colour in them, for a little while. But it soon came back, given a little time to calm down. I didn’t know they did that, is it a normal thing for...

Here is a quick pic of the pair, not a very good pic though.

I have a female blue dwarf, she is a real nice fish. i live in the uk, so it won't be of much use me linking the shop, as most of you guys live in the US. I have a thread in the tropical chit chat section, i'll try and link it below, maybe someone with experience with blue dwarfs could have a...

Ever thought about buying a trout priest, most angling stores sell them. It's got to be better than pickling a fish in vodka.

Thanks, looks like i'm gonna have to think about what to do next, i really like the look of the angels, they are a really nice pair. But i dont want beat up fish.

I've seen them in smaller, i bet you have too? I don't know, the black widow tetras are quite big(for tetras), i'm more worried about the pearl gouramies, they might clash as they are about the same size and like the top of the tank. as the angels become bigger they might pick on the pearls?

I don't know as i've never asked for any of the precise read out thingies, i just ask if it's looking good :nod: What about the Angels, any thoughts?

My tank is 300 L, i don't no the stats as i let my man at the shop do all that, i take them a water sample in and they do a test for me, my filter seams to be running as it should, according to the shopkeep.

I have been stocking my tank over the past three weeks; I started with two mixed mollies and three red eye tetra. A week later I added two male, blue dwarf gourami. They didn’t get on; as soon as I put them in the tank they started fighting with each other. One killed the other that very night...

I'm nearly there, two weeks and a few days on the fishless cycle. i've had enough of friends saying,"Eh there's no fish in your tank, how come?" :S

Hello all, two weeks into setting up a new tank :) . It is also my first tropical tank. It is 295 litres and measures 120 CM X 45 CM X 65 CM. I’m letting the girl who works at my local LFS do the water tests. I took a water sample in yesterday and it’s all coming along fine and should be ok to...
