Thanks very much for all your help guys. I have just bought some Seachem Prime off ebay. Going to us it with my hard tap water.   Hopefully get those cichlids breeding lol   Thanks again   Alex

Hey all,   I have malawi cichlid tank and I know they like hard water, so I dont want to be using my ro water for them. My other choice is using tapewater with aquasafe etc.   However, my tap water is very hard already and the TDS meter measures it at 148, which I know is very low for typical...

Thanks for the help all. I have a couple of 8in clowns in another tank of mine, so I will put them with the oscar. I will prob get a couple of catfish and a couple of plecs. Can any1 surgest the best ones to get for the job??? I will look into the cichlids. I like the jack dempseys, convicts...

Thanks very much guys. So basically, all sized clown loaches and plecs I could have. Could I have any cichlid in the tank as long as they were 6in+? The tank is around 280l

Hey all, This is my first post in a long time. Have been focused on marine lately. Hope you've all been well. Well basically, I have a 12inch and a 6in tiger oscars living together at the moment. But thats all whats in the tank, besides 3 tiny bistle-noses. They all seem ok with each other. I...

ok, does any1 else on this forum actually keep any types of soft shell turtles??? lol

Hey all, I bought 6 soft shelled turtles yesterday, all are about 1.5in in size. I Have had a good look at them and have noticed that 3 of them seem to have fungus on them. I have just been advised by my lfs to dab fungus treatment using cotten wool on the infected areas. So that is what I have...

ok, thanks very much

Hey all, I bought 6 soft shelled turtles today, all are about 1.5in in size. I Have just had a good look at them and have noticed that 2 of them seem to have something simular to white spot. But I dont think it is that because the white marks arnt really spot shapped and it seems more like it...

Hey all, I have just set up a 40G Discus tank and im now just wait the 3 weeks for the water chemicals to balance out. I am thinking of placing 4 young discus, 6 rams, 4 corys and 1 plec in the tank. Does this sound ok??? The tank is set up with plenty of filtration/aireation and plenty or...

Thanks for the replies. I think I will start putting frozen cubes in. The oscars are about 3in at the moment. Do you think they would be alright eating cut earthworm??? Also today I caught a few moths and fed them to some of the fish, and wow, did they love those or what lol. Cheers Alex

Hey all, I have a box full of 2cm cubed frozen bloodworm and I normaly thaw out 1 cube a day in tank water in a glass before pouring it into the tank. This prob sounds like a pritty stupid question, but could I put a FROZEN bloodworm cube into a tank for my fish each day instead??? Are there...

wkd. Well good luck

Alright. Cheers for the advice mate

Cheers for the replies everyone. Sorry, i posted it in the wrong forum. So can you just get cockles and different shrips from your LFS???

Hey all, Was wanding if you could all tell me what you feed your puffers, and what you think the best foods are for them. I am currently feeding feeding my red eyed puffer (Gizmo) on snails, guppy fry and blood worm. The only thing with the blood worm, is that quite a few of the other fish in...

He is doing well so far. Hasn't attacked or killed any fish and is eating his blood worm happily. I feed him the old snail or 2 every couple of day for his teeth. I will however be setting up another tank for him in a few weeks

Very nice. Did u find it hard to get them to breed??? Cheers Alex

Im sorry, but I do not believe that a group of even 5 silver sharks cant live in a tank less than 6x2x2. Ginge, this statement that you said, "they grow to 13" full stop no argument" just isn't true since I have seen many silver sharks that have grown in large tanks and have not got bigger...

Dont worry about being picky lol. I know the silver sharks grow big, but it depends on the size of the tank and amount of fish in it. For instance, a shoal of 6 '3in' silver sharks in a 3ft tank would be happy and I doubt they would grow much bigger than 5in because of the size of the tank and...

Its 4ft and hold: 1 Silver Shark 3 Red tailed Black Sharks 2 Clown Loaches 3 Golden Plecs 4 Angels 1 Senegal bichir 2 small brown eels 2 Golden Rams 3 Blue Acraras 3 Fire Mouths 1 Red Eyed Puffer

Thanks very much

Yea, thats right. There is a big tropical/marine fish shop about 20miles from, and they have 3 beautiful 1ft long silver sharks in this massive 10ft x 10 ft tank...all for them selves lol Cheers Alex

Yea, clowns are great. They have such great personalities. I Only have 2 at the moment. I used to have 6 smaller ones in my livebearer tank, and I loved them to pieces. My Favourite fish :D Cheers Alex
