    You know, I think I'm gonna give the old silicon a go. (If it worked for Pamela Anderson then hey, it must be good) ;)

    Burst Tank! New One Needed. Help - Will Buy!

    The silicon idea may work? I am unsure where the leak is as the water is simply appearing underneath but I guess if I empty it and just do every seam then it may work... I've managed to get an old glass (very small) tank off my mother inlaw so they should be fine in that for a couple of days...

    Burst Tank! New One Needed. Help - Will Buy!

    My Fish Tank is leaking so fish being moved to small container which iwill only support the fish for a week or so maximum. I need about 120 litres or more and preferably in a tall style aquarium on a stand due to limited space. So long as it is no wider than about 2.5 feet and no deeper than 1.5...

    Ok Finally

    Can't get snails to live? I have to remove 50 a week from my tank ! Anyway, Guppies are nice and they get along fine with my Platys so I'd recommend them... Not sure what a 5 gallon tank is as I made the "icorrect" assumption that it was the same as a UK gallon (8 pints) but was then told I...

    Clown Loach Losing Stripes?

    Well I don;t really have much choice, I don't want to part with them and I can't possibly afford a new tank until spring (Also have to buy a new flat screen TV to go on the wall so my tank will go where my TV currently is). I'll just have to see how they get on... Also thinking of varying...

    Clown Loach Losing Stripes?

    Sorry , LFS said "Tiger Loach but I have seen on Google pics it is a Clown Loach !I'll change my sig. I know they get to 11inches but I understand that they tend to stop at 5inches in captivity??? I am hoping to buy a 250 liter PLUS tank next Easter when I have more cash. If they do get too big...

    Clown Loach Losing Stripes?

    Well, my tank is nicely established now and I have 3 Platys from the start and 6 of the 8 Guppies I introduced survived and seem very happy. I have a ridiculous snail problem so I introduced 2 "Clown Loach" (That's what the guy at the LFS called them and recommended them) but they are losing...

    Overstocked?

    When you say 1 inch per gallon, how many millilitres in the gallon that you are referring to? Is it an 8 pint gallone (ermm 8 times 568ml?) Could someone suggest a cm/liter conversion. Also, does it make a difference if you get fish that vary in area of tank they use (Guppies near top, catfish...

    Two Dead Guppies But Loads Of Snails

    Well, a week later and no more deaths so ALL seems well. I guess that those two either didn't like the change from the shop or they were ill when I bought them?

    Two Dead Guppies But Loads Of Snails

    Well, after 5 weeks with three Platys who were very happy went and bought 8 male Guppies, 4 yellow and 4 orange tailed. The Platys were instantly not impressed and have spent the last 9 days hiding. I think the Guppies are just too fast for them, even though they are half their size. Two days...

    Lowering Tank Temperature

    Put ice cubes in a SEALED plastic bag so no chlorine contamination and place them where the fish can't get them, in the filter housing or in a box with holes in it. To sustain 30C you must be supplying heat so it must come from either the lights (most likely) or the motor for the pump. (Or your...

    Absolutely Horrified

    The RSPCA in the UK would shut them down I am sure. A Pet shop near me was shut down and the owners taken to court last month, fined and banned from ever owning animals, but that was all sorts of animals not just fish that were kept in poor conditions. America must have a similar welfare...

    Pictures Of My New Tank N Fish

    How do you put yer pics on the pages? Oh, and can you shrink them? You almost killed my PC trying to load em ! Very good pics btw. ;) I found putting a background on mine made all the difference to it's appearance and the fish like to go to the back so maybe they prefer the dark green area?

    The ship wreck was sold at the Aquatics shop for £10, it's plastic ! I have no idea what the plants are, I bought 5 for £5. The variegated one is nice but it is dying, I guess it doesn't like the tank. I may move it to the front to get more light and maybe it doesn't like the moving water...
