I'm almost certain that a good quality Male Betta will be my next purchase. I have a spare 32 (about 7 gallon) litre tank that has been sitting idle fo a few months and I think it'd look great with just the single fish in it. (Possibly a few pygmy cory but the betta will go in 1st on his own for...

I have 3m/3f currently in a mixed community tank with gourami, rasbora, shrimp and cory. They have never been any problem. I guess you have two options - get more or get rid. I personally like them a lot and if I had the room would have more. I'd try and get at least equal numbers of...

I got 10 Green eye Rasbora recently, Silver with green highlight on the eyes. Peaceful, non nippy, shoaling, top dwelling and you could get a large number as they only get to 3cm. Advantage of being relatively hardy too. Snape

Hello all, On my latest visit to my local Maidenhead I was looking for some fish to fill out my tank. I had a short list of sparkling gourami, threadfin rainbow or a small species of rasbora - basically whichever I liked the look of the best to compliment my established group of (very fat)...

Maidenhead Aquatics, Fair Oak, Southampton. There's a place in Totton near ASDA too. Check the Practical Fish Keeper Magazine store finder. Is useful for fining local stores. Snape

I've keep Gourami with cherry barbs in a 96 litre tank coincidentally. I have had no problems with three male / three female. I'd suggest at least equal numbers of females to males but otherwise they are delightful, hardy and attractive little fish. Good choice. Snape

Ignore the slightly poorly gourami, this is onys sand in my tank. If you'd like more pics let me know Mark

4 days if you leave it at the lower dose in the tank then water change it out and carbon remove it and recycle your filter. Half an hour with the higher dose in a seperate tank/container but no guidance at all on when it is safe to repeat the treatment. Not found anything on the JBL website...

So, got my ebayed JBL Furanol through the post today. I had three Dwarf Gourami, 1 Male, 2 Female introduced just under two months ago. Water stats are 0/0/30 PH7.5. The male had a very minor mouth ulcer for a couple of weeks which gradually progressed to a fairly unpleasant stage. Further...

I'm rapidly getting addicted to fish keeping. Now have a Juwel Rekord 96 and a 5 gal Hosp tank all set up but the kitchen worktop the Juwel tank is on is crying out to have a bigger tank resting on it and my head is spinning with all the possibilities this would give me. So right now at this...

Yeah, mine does that too. :lol: On mine it is the pump causing something on the lid to vibrate. I tidied up the wires coming from the heater/pump and also used some non sliprubber matting you can get from Wilkos/Lakeland/Bettaware over the lip of the tank glass to stop the vibrations being...

There's a couple of places online that sell it but I object to paying £7+ for postage for something that weighs a few grams. Not found anywhere online that has sensible postage costs and the stuff on ebay takes about 9 days to get here from malaysia. I went to 3 LFS today on the lookout but...

Hello all, Got a spot of bother with a Dwarf Gourami. Looks like it could be iridovirus but want to give him a fighting chance. Seen good things about Furanol as a anti-bac medication and have a 5 gal set up as a Hosp tank. I know it won't do anything for him if the symptoms are virus based...

Thanks, that helps. Will do. Mark

Hello, Trying to buy some plants from the buy/sell forum and a member has said he's sent me a PM, my inbox is empty and if I try and send myself one it doesn't show up. Its probably something really simple but I can't work out what it is? Help / Suggestions appreciated. Snape

All my fish love Courgette (zuchini). The last piece I put in was about 1 1/2 inch diameter and an inch thick - It was gone within 36 hours and the fish then had a fast day the next day because they all looked so fat! One of my Dwarf Gourami in particular will stand guard on it seeing off all...

This was the idea, kinda interactive research. :) Read a lot about DG's over the last day or so and its amazing the number of negative articles about them. It really shows that maybe its worth making your mind up then waiting a few days and seeing if you're still sure - I'm not at all sure...

Hello all. My new 20gal setup is going nicely, its been a few months now and have gradually been adding stuff, plants and fish along the way. I will hold my hand up now at the start and say that maybe the last purchase I made was driven more by impulse than common sense. Currently I have 6...
