    White Leds

    After losing faith and patience with Juwel over their lighting units, I have decided to just use some LEDs instead. I already have a couple of strips of blue LEDs cased in a rubber unit glued to the cover of my aquarium, and I intend on getting similar white ones. However the ones on ebay...

    Fighting A Loosing Battle?

    It could also be debris from your filter/piping that comes out once you switch your filter back on after cleaning. It might be worth adding some floss if you don't have any already. Pauly.

    How Often Do You Feed Your Fish?

    Pelletts twice a day, small amount in the morning, a bit more on the evening. Frozen twice a week replacing the evening pellet feed. Starve day now and again, particularly if my maintenance is overdue. However they always eat everything I feed them so not much point in them really. Great...

    Lost My New Tank.

    So I was walking through the park with my new tank and I really needed the loo, so I put the tank down and sneaked behind a nearby tree. When I returned, some swine had only gone and nicked my tank :angry:

    How Long Will Posted-plants Last Out Of The Water?

    How long will plants that I've ordered off the net last out of the water? I've ordered some to be delivered to my office and so won't be able to plant them until the evening. Will they last ok, or will I need to invoke a mystery headache and go home early? Pauly.

    Going On Holidays For Two Weeks

    I'd feed them every other day the week before you go, then ask your friend to continue with every other day for the first week, then not feed them for the second week (assuming no water change). Then once you've done a big water change on your return, start with every other day again for about...

    Mature Filter Crash :(

    It's probably more your Kh you want to improve (stops the Ph from changing). Short term measure is adding a teaspoon of bicarb to your fresh water during water changes. A handful of crushed corel in your filter will improve it over the longer term. Pauly.

    Interesting...

    The problem is when you try to explain the problems of bowls to people, their typical response is something along the lines of: "oh it's only a goldfish for the kids" which indicates that their owners don't really care for the goldfish. Another problem which the article doesn't touch on, is...

    Getting Fed Up And Put Off The Hobby Of Fish Keeping!

    I'm not sure that an air pump is that essential. If your aquarium was lacking oxygen then the fish would be gasping for air at the top. However as you have real plants, this could be happening at night when the lights are off and the plants use the oxygen in the water. Keep an eye on whats...

    New Fish Dieing!?

    You're putting the new fish who are used to good water conditions into your tank which obviously has very bad water conditions. This stresses the new fish out causes the white spot etc. Your fish that are 'ok' have got used to the bad conditions which is why they're still alive, but they will...

    Boredness

    All the fish you listed are standard run-of-the-mill fish. Maybe you should look at different sorts such as Malawis or even marine - or perhaps just bigger fish like bala sharks if you get a big enough tank. Or buy a Playstation .......
