So im starting my 220ltr tank for a third time! :S Ive spent so much money and put in so much time that this really is the last time in going to bother! I've just threw my old background out (as some of you may know, it was a marine background for a tropical tank . . . school boy error...

Hey guys So after my second disaster i was gonna call it a day! The family dont wanna give it another go but i am! Ive just been out, bought a black background, a massive piece of bog wood and some plants. I need to get the background on spot on! Whats your advice for getting this done? This...

Tank was cycling a month The cleaning was BEFORE the tank was filled to cycle Nitrate levels are only ever so slightly above the bottom reading on my test kit so i cant see them being high enough to have killed my fish! Nothing could have got in the tank, its in the living room, good lid, only...

I did a water test just yesterday, results were fine apart from the NO2 and NO3 levels were slightly above their original. The tank was emptied, cleaned and recycled so whats died before isnt relivant! Some disease prevention/treatment solution was applied to the water earlier but we're talkin...

I like the second fish . . . Mixed colour! :hyper:

WOW! Fantastic photos! Your water looks so clear it looks like there isnt any!

Yeah, the Angels seem fine! I dont know how much its risen by . . . Im not 100% sure how to read this test kit, its just got bars and they've moved from being spot on to slightly in between the first and second bar!

Read up on cycling your tank . . . Those levels will come right down! Its a must!

I cycled my tank for four weeks! On my final test reading i got the all clear so i went ahead and put six fish in my tank! Its been afew days now, i woke to find a dead fish! I retested my water to find all my levels pretty much the same. My pH, KH and GH levels are all reading the same but ive...

HE IS STILL IN THERE! :unsure: I wanna do something about it tomorrow, Ive got two tanks and hes un suitable in both. I havent really got the cash to buy a third setup just yet. Thats why i asked if he'd survive in a bowl or something with nothing else till i can aford something solid! Its a...

Cool thanks! Can you make out the background fish? I know one type is a Neon Tetra, what about the other, any ideas?

What to do, What to do? Im new and ive made some very bad stocking choices! (being told they were fine by my LFS) :X In my newly running big tank ive two massive Angel fish and a Fighter! They've seemed fine but i have seen an Angel nip the fighter! These are my two fav types of fish. I dont...

Ive been sold three plecs and im a total novice! :unsure: Ive never thought anything of it? What else is gonna clean the tank?!?

Cheers, I wouldnt say they were bullying, no contact seems to being made! Theyve only just started doing it too! Theyve been happyly going all over the tank till this evening!

I have three plecs, The biggest and the smallest are in my small tank, they're not staying there though. I put the middle plec in the big tank to help out with the new fish! I was told to give it a week or two before i start migrating the fish back to the big tank. The big plec will go back to...

Are you over feeding? I found i was over feeding in my small tank. Once i realised (and stopped) the cloudy water went nice and clear after afew days (with a water change).

Hey guys So the other day i finally got my big tank kick off. I bought two large angel fish and id say their my personal prized fish (Im not saying theyre perfect specimins, im just saying out my fish, they're my show stoppers). I was told they were a breeding pair and have laid eggs in the...

Yeah, Its always cool when you throw a new fish or two in your tank! As said, a pic or two would be cool. Always a plus to see peoples tanks and fish! ^_^

Nah, the pair of angels i bought!

Cheers for all the advice, its greatly welcomed! :nod: The guy in the shop said they were a breeding pair, they'd been together for along long time and even laid eggs . . . he said nothing came of it though! That sound right or like hes giving it the old billy bulls**t?

Ok, So ive got two tanks now and i'll admit . . . Im starting to get addicted! :rolleyes: Im slowly learning from my mistakes and from general reading! Slowly, but it is happening! Every time i learn something new, or see something i like, im constantly rethinking my tank! Both of my tanks are...

So Betta's are good with? And not so good with? I dont fancy making another mistake!

Cheers for the advice, and no, i wont take offence to anything said (i know just who the expert and newbie is in this situation)! ;) If you'd had said "fighter" i'd have known what you ment! I guess its names more then anything! Althought i am learning . . . i was able to name afew fish without...

Sorry whats a "Betta"? (As my sig says, im very new!) I thought that but where it appears to be damaged is just clear! Its smooth, not torn or rotted!

So heres the starting fish: Whatcha think?

Hey guys My big tanks finally ready for some fish! Ive just been to my local shop and bought the tanks first five fish! Ive just bought a pair of very impressive looking Angel fish, a Fighter and a pair of black mollys! These Angel fish must be 4-5inches tall and cost me £15 for the pair (can...
