thanks for you replies, i didnt use anything to clean the tank just water and an algea magnet thats it, and the aqua one has a built in filter system so was not removed, as for anything odd about fish before they died nope they all seemed fine i kept corys years ago and never had any problems at...

hi all, i bought 3 female black molly's 3 days ago to keep my one male company, and one female is a little more plump than the others but how can you tell when a pure black molly is ready to give birth if she is pregnant, she has a white ring near her anal fin that is more obvious than the other...

aww its horrible isnt it, glad the others are growing good now, i do think the ones i have are to young/weak as i lost yet another this morning so i checked my levels again and had a tiny tiny bit of ammonia in there so i did 25% water change and added and air stone so it has plenty of oxygen...

hi i bought some lampeyes and some neons the other days and was just wandering what type of bulb would be best to show off their colours? or does it matter?

well at the min ive got a few rocks a barrel for hiding and some fake plants in my tank but would like to try java moss, or some kind of carpet for them to try out, i believe if i put some on some slate and tie it on it will take to the slate is this correct? not too good with the live plants...
