Cheers C I totally agree with you there and I guess I am wondering do I have the time at the moment to devote to keeping a marine tank. I want to do it well and after reading some of the threads on here, I do wonder would I have the time at the mo to devote to it...:unsure: Also a wee question...

I do prefer GT and I bought my tank and most of my fish from there too. I really like the shop in Lisburn as well, and as you say most of the staff are very good! :good: If I keep a few soft corals, do I need to be so particular about the water requirements? :unsure:

Hi BigC Thanks for your reply! I have a Juwel Trigon 190 freshwater tank at the moment but that is staying as it is. This tank is in my living room and I love it. I'm hoping to buy a Buyo tl550 from GT and I do think I will go for a FOWLR tank to begin with and go from there. I do like my...

Hey guys Thanks for all the comments so far! :good: The other thing I wanted to ask is would it be possible to say buy a nano tank and either set it up: fish only or fish only with live rock? what are the pros and cons with both these options? Would it be easy enough to add in corals at a...

Cheers kip Thanks for the info. EA is definitely closer for me and I have bought some fish for my freshwater tank with no problems to date... :good: However when I kept fish as I kid I used to buy my fish from GT in East Belfast and I do love their new store in Lisburn...:) So it sounds like...

Hi Guys thanks for all your info so far! Big C, I live in Northern Ireland too! I have a tropical freshwater tank which I got at Grosvenor Tropicals but I actually live closer to Exotic Aquatics. I'm just at the thinking and planning stage so far but will likely buy my tank from Grosvenor and...

Hi Guys After keeping tropical freshwater fish for several years, I have decided I want to get a Nano and start a Marine tank! My local fish shop has a Boyu tank in stock and they say they have sold quite a few with no complaints so far. I think this is the model...

Well you have kind of answered my questions. I really wanted to know if they are easy to keep. I have had to remove a whole shoal of Serpea tetras for fin nipping. I may give the Emperor's a miss if they do that too. A local fish shop does have Kerri tetras in stock at the mo. What is the...

Does anyone have any experience of these guys? -_-

I have a Juwel Trigon 190 tank which is about 45ish gallons I think.

Hi Just wondering what people's experiences are with Emperor tetras. I have read they are peaceful fish but have also read they are terroritorial. I have had a recent bad expeience with Serpea tetras so am determined to thorughly research anymore additions to my tank. (I currently have 12...

I have just removed ten Serpea tetras from my tank after 5 days. They were just nipping the fins of the other fishes too much! :angry:

Have just bought a shoal of 12 of these fish for my tank. I have kept Harlequins before but noticed these in the fish shop today. Does anyone have any info about them? Thanks

Thanks very much for the advice guys. I think I will need to remove the Serpea tetras this week before they totally decimate the other fishes. I normally research fish I add thoroughly but I slipped up this time and it's been costly. At least I won't make the same mistake again! :)

Hi Guys just need some pretty urgent advice from anyone regarding removing fish from my tank. Up until Sunday, I had 4 Platies, 2 Honey Gouramis, 12 Neon Tetras and 6 Black Phantom tetras. I added a shoal of ten Serpea tetras to my tank. (They are also known as Blood Characins). Since they have...

I know! :unsure: I normally do research these things so well but went on the advice of the guy in the shop. I won't be making the same mistake again! :angry:

Thanks very much. I am beginning to regret buying them too. I will probably have to resort to doing what ypu said to catch them which is a pain but I think it might be the only way. The damage on some of the fins of the other fishes is terrible!

Hi Guys I need help. I bought 10 Serpea tetras yesterday and introduced them to my tank which has 12 Neons, 4 Platies, 2 honey Gouramis and 6 Black Phantom tetras. The problem is I think the Serpeas are nipping the fins of the other fish as some of them are very ragged looking today which wasnt...

Hi Everyone I have just bought ten of these fish for my tank. I have read a bit about them in books and on the internet. Just wondering if anyone else has had experience with these fish? Thanks :)

Thanks and hello!!

Hi Everyone I am new here too although not new to fishkeeping. I kept fish for over 15 years until I went to university. Now 12 years later I am back keeping fish again which is fab! I set up my Juwel tank 6 weeks agao and now have 16 healthy and happy fish living in it. The platies have...
