Check how much stress stuff they are adding they me be putting too much in and discolouring the water, happened to a mate of mine who was new to fish and misread (replace misread with probably didnt read the label) and put too much in and his water went totally green and you could barely see the...

Bala's are lovely fish but they need loads of space and won't be happy in a small tank due to how fast they swim and they grow real quick, as mentioned above is generally a schooling fish so they may be lonely on there own and not as active :unsure:

Absolutely discusting practice. There aint enough room for a Betta in there as from experience they like nothing but pretty much non stop swimming, I have had the pleasure of owning many betta's over the years and think for me it is one of the most beautiful and elegant tropical fish there is...

The cichlid's look like an exact picture I have in a fish book of Thomas's dwarf cichlid. Could be wrong but they are a dead ringer for the pic I have.

Cheers for the replies, looks like bristle nose wins the vote. The 2 discus I have werent originally a pair hence the diff in size, I did have a pair but 1 of them died and I got another smaller one as replacement, they are totally inseperable and the little one follows the big one all over the...

My black ghost knife fish sleeps upside down. And my discus fish follow you up and down the tank no matter which way you move they will follow.

I currently have completely white sand, I find it a lot more pleasing on the eye and more natural looking. U will struggle putting sand in with water and fish as the sand will just go everywhere and will take time to settle, the best bet is to remove the fish, lay the sand in the tank and then...

Cory's will pretty much eat anything that will sink to the bottom, they seem to like many frozen foods and mine like blood worms though they can struggle to suck them into there mouth's. Your best bet is cat fish pellets (a couple of quid at a good pet store). I use these and they are great as...

Hi all, Im currently looking for some advice re which type of sucking fish will go well with Discus. I have quite a large discus and 1 small discus, previously had to get rid of my chocolate albino plec due to it giving my discus a bit of abuse. I currently have a Chinese sucking loach which...

This is the filter, couldnt quite fit it all on, the bit missing is where the water funnels back into the tank, it sucks up on the left through a pump then filters through the tube in the middle then through those big ass filters. It also has 3 lid sections that I have removed. 8)

Good suggestion. Will try n get a decent pic of it when I get mi digi camera working will have to take a picture from quite high up though to fit it all on, but will try mi best, I was wrong its just has 2 big box sections and a pump at 1 end with a long tube with holes in it, and a siphon at...

Cheers for that ! :good: Did use warm water, not had a tank with such a large filter before (used to submersible filters use can just rinse out) and couldnt think of best way to clean the thing out, it is full length of tank 3ft long nearly and about half a foot wide, with 3 box sections that...

Hi it may be nothing, but I have a Aqua AR850 tank the one with the filter that goes through the lid, the other day I washed the filter out in the bath as it is a big filter. Just about finished and noticed something in the bath that looked like a little white worm (about 1/4 inch long and a...
