i dont think it is bullying but i will check to night as none of the fish seem to have torn fins or missing fins or any physical signs of bullying. And im not that worried about the bristlenoses because their new and they do seem to be munching on the wood and algae in my tank. The main fish im...

hi im nearly finished on my cycle i think. In my last post i thought my cycle had stalled but then overnite my nitrites reached zero. Ok is my cycle done yet? or do my nitrites need to be changed to nitrates immediately? All help appreciated Maxamus

ok thanks

thanks mate i no about the water change its just getting a bit boring having this nice tank siting there in my room but with no fish or weed in there!!!

My ammonia dropped the day after i added it but didnt reach 0 until about a week after and about a week ago it was reaching 0 in less than 12hours Thanks for the assistance PS my parents tell me im patient

hi as the title says i am fishless cycling my tank and am exactly 3 weeks in. So far my ammonia is going from 4ppm to less than 0.05 in 12hours. However for about 1.5 weeks now my nitrites are off the chart. They will not lower and are reading over 5ppm. However my nitrates are rising last...

ok thanks ill avoid those allgae eaters for the moment

my tank is 28inches tall so its fine for angels and im confident ive found a good fish shop all their fish are healthy and they were the first ones that told me to do a fishless cycle. They also told me to join this forum as it is filled with great info. P.S the guy at the fish store...

Hi i have a 130 litre tank that is about 2weeks into its cycle. Im researching the fish i want and just wanted to ask if a red tail black shark, 2opaline gouramis, 2 golden gouramis, 4 dwarve gouramis. Would these fish be all right. As well as this would i be able to add some angels or...

No my dad doesnt have a tank except for a small 5litre one and the product im usin is called " Bio Booster" It is made by Aqua Master and Aristo pet Ok i just tested and today: ammonia is reading: around 1.5ppm Nitrites are about 1ppm and Nitrates are about 5ppm

Hi ok i set up my tank 130 litre tank about 5 days ago with gravel and a rock. I have a light, heater, airpump and air stone and a Aqua Nova NCF 1500 external canister filter. Ok after i set it up (Don't Get Angry at me) but i added five of these fish we have in a smaller tank (My dad calls...

tetras although shops and some websites say is enough you would really want to keep a minimum of 6. my friend has some ytetras and they look amazing he keeps them in groups of 11.!!

yep look out for the red tail sharks they grow big and are agressive especially to their own kind. Remember buy them singly or in large groups!!!

wow wow wow mate stop and remember the inch per gallon rule. You are already stocked if not overstocked. And ive got a 130liter tank and my red tail will out grow that eventually. You need to do some more research man.

i dont know much but in my experience (which is not much) ive found that most aquatic animals love bloodworms. Be careful not too feed to many though because they do make the water cloudy.

yeah i agree tetras are really nice and mostly active fish. Since youve got such a big tank i would consider going for the larger tetras like congo's they have beautiful colours and are fairly ative when kept in shoals. As for danios i love these guys they are cheap, hardy and pretty good...

yeah hes pretty much got it right but you might want to watch the Angel fish they can be particularily fiesty at breeding time PS how big are your other fish

well ive just gone looking for those other barbs and none of my local fish stores stock them? What should i do? I think maybe ill just get 6 or 7 of them and leave the moss green barbs.

Ive just started measuring the levels of my tap water. Would a PH of 7.0 be fine for the suggested stock of fish? Thanks guys

Ok guys thanks for all your help so far. Could i just replace the mossgreen barbs with an extra 5 tiger barbs and would tht stop hassling?

ok thanks guys ill try and track down those barbs but 2 more questions 1)if i cant get any of those other barbs how many tigers will i need to get to stop bullying 2) I've searched around all my local shops and hardware but the only ammonia i can find is "Cloudy Ammonia" as the name states it is...

okay guys im back. I've just gone to some of my LFS and they suggested a combination along the lines of 1x Red tail shark 5xTiger Barbs 5XMoss green barbs 6x Zebra Danios 1x Male swordtail 2x Female swordtail 1x Bristlenose Catfish Would this be a good combination? Thanks Guys

i was thinkng of getting some neon blue dwarf gouramis. ok ill get rid of the rainbow fish. Do you guys reccomend any cool looking easy fish to take care of in their place (maybe a bristlenose catfish) and are there any barbs that are easy to get that wont nip the gouramis? In place of the...

Hi im just starting my fishless cycle so ive started scoping out fish i want to get when its finished. The guy at the LFS said that maybe these would go good together: 2x Platies 1x Redtail shark 4-5x Tiger Barbs 4x assorted gouramis 1x Rainbowfish plus the usual snail and plants PS I have a...

Dont no about u guys but here in Australia selling live animals of any type on ebay is ILLEGAL!!! :shout:

Cheers!!! To you guys and your fishies as well!!!

i am about to start my fishless cycle but i dont know what type of ammonia i need and where i can get it. I know this probably sounds like a noobish question. Is it just normal ammonia or is it special aquarium ammonia and wher can i get it. Thanks Maxamus
