I forgot to say these snails are approx halm millimeter in size Jim

I'm finding a few of these snails in my tank (Photos below) they have appeared in the tank today. Could they be from live plants I bought from Pets at Home? Is there anything I can get to rid my tank of them without harming my fish? Thanks Jim Ps Apologies for quality of photos original...

hi there i was having a problem with the nitrate levels in my tank so i went out to buy nitra-zorb my problem is pets at home told us to take out the pads inside the fluval 3 and when i read the instructions on nita-zorb it says leave the prefiltration in if possible does that mean that i...

Just noticed our black mollie has got what looks like a sore eye!! Now I know this might sound stupid but should I take him to the vet or is there anything commercially I can buy to treat it? Thanks Jim

The fry is a kind of golden orange colour as I said previously i'm sure it's either Guppy or Swordtail as both of these still look pregnant.

I just had another quick check and still no more fry so either the other fish ate all the others or she only had the one or two fry.

Hi there One of our livebearers had babies lastnight I could only see 2 fry (Either Swordtail or Guppy) caught 1 and can't find the other little one anywhere so i'm suspecting it's became another fish's snack. I've got the one we caught in a breeding tank and as i'm not sure who the mother is...

I bought 2 Resun Magic-Jet (Magi-200) Internal Filters (pictured below) for my tank and over and above the other problem I had with the water which now seems to be clearing up i've had 2 fish die because their tail has got stuck possibly sucked into front grooves of this filter and it looks like...

I tend to agree about Coral Reef in Glasgow i'll never buy any fish out of there as i've went in a couple of times and each time i've been in theres been dead fish in quite a few tanks. As a new fish Keeper are there any updated aquarium shops in the Glasgow area? Jim

Thanks for your input Juicebox but if you read my post you'll see that a whole load of dead babies in their breeding/hospital unit so the Male couldn't have eaten them. Jim

Anyone else from Glasgow?

I went to pets at home today with a water sample and the guy said PH was good it's the Nitrate that was way in the Orange/Yellow he said it's down to over feeding the fish as we we're feeding them as per the maker (Aquarian) instructions which says 2 to 3 times a day he (the guy in P. @. H) said...

Is there any way of doing this cycling now with the help of chemicals?

The temperature i've just checked is at 73 degrees is this too cold and should I turn the thermostat up. t's a 2ft x 1ft tank and the heater is a Resun Sunlike - 100 which i'm presuming is 100 watts is this a big enough heater or do I need a more powerful one. The fish in it were 10 Neon...

I'm just new to tropical fish as I just got my 1st lot of fish on Monday last and they seemed to be behaving normally but over the past few days i've had 2 dead tiger barbs 2 dead neon tetras and a whole load of dead babies in their breeding/hospital unit. The babies were born on Friday night...
