Yeah, I thought they were going to smash it and I just kept thinking "not the fish tank, not the fish tank!" :lol:

Two films I've seen recently and hated: Snakes on a Plane - Struggled through to the end just because I wanted to see if it could actually get any worse...it did. Click - Didn't even make the end of this one, just couldn't keep watching!

Woohoo :good:

Wow...I don't know what else to say. Tank looks amazing :good: :drool:

Thats strange :unsure: My Cories have never shown any interest in eating my Apple Snails :crazy:

Hey all, In a 24g Nano what other fish would go well with two Common Clownfish? The tank will have all the usual clean up crew so preferably nothing that will think they look tasty. One day in the future it may even be home to some corals and things so nothing that will damage them either...

Colouring makes it's shape look a bit stranger, but it does seem like a Platy to me :good:

They should make that their official name, much better :hyper:

I do roughly 25 - 30% on my 40(ish) gallon once a week usually. Although at the moment I'm doing more frequent ones because I have been experiencing some higher than "normal" nitrates for no reason.

Congrats :good: :hyper:

In my tank I have smooth gravel one side and sand the other. Although my Corydoras do happily explore the gravel side they spend 80% of their time up the sand end so I guess that tells me which they prefer.

I have had four of my Cories for a year now (this month in fact) and they seem to be growing, albeit slowly. I would say they have doubled in size at most...maybe slightly under. They were quite small to begin with though, and I was thinking that it did seem very slow, but they appear to be...

R.I.P :-( My Betta :-( He didn't have an official name although everyone called him Bill. He had some kind of growth from a young age so I guess it was that. I'm sure the Corys will miss him. :-(

My smallest adult fish are my Ember Tetras. :good:

I don't know :blush: I was just trying to be a good boy and not break any rules :P

I was just on a certain auction website and I saw something I have never seen before. Don't think I'm allowed to post a link but an item code is okay right? 260269204909 Just wondered if anyone has come across them before...I didn't know they existed.

Hey :good: I have three Blue Legged Hermit crabs and I was just wondering if you can mix other kinds with them (like the red ones). I believe someone told me at one of my LFS that you cannot but I can't fully remember. Is it one of those things that depends upon the attitude of the...

Welcome :good: Very nice and clean looking tanks.

Good Afternoon, I have just been looking at my new tank and noticed two things on the glass. Looking at the internet the only thing I've found is a variety of "Flatworm" and that they're a major pest? Do you think this is true and if so will just wiping them off be okay? Thanks. Now with...

Oh, I saw them on the internet but wasn't sure! :good: Its so weird...I just want to sit and watch the rock, its exciting and yet slightly scary as well :unsure:

Hello all, Today I added the first of the live rock to my new nano tank (the rest going in tomorrow) and after about half an hour of it being in I noticed a lot of activity. There are lots of little white tentacle-looking things sticking of various holes in one of the pieces. They are spread...

Same here. No luck getting on all day. Here now though! :hyper: :good:

I never thought of going for an invertibrate instead, that might be good. There are some Algae Shrimp in there already, but something different would be nice. I'm not sure about an Angelfish with the Neons, aren't they food to them? The Betta isn't actually in this tank, he is in another...

Hey, Thanks for both your replies. I'm compiling a list for him and doing research myself so I will be able to let him choose from it. I will look into these two - research time! :good: Any more suggestions out there?

Hello all, I am looking for an idea for one fish to go in my main community tank. The reason for it is, my nephew (I guess thats the nearest thing I can call him...) who is ten likes fish but we know from experience that he won't really look after them after the initial phase (He is ten after...

Hey, thanks for your reply. The tank gets absolutely no direct sunlight, in fact its in quite the opposite - a rather dark, gloomy area. I do have some live plants but I could always get some more, quite a few more actually...hmm interesting - ooh a new project! :good:

Hello all, In my Betta tank I have a rather big algae problem and I have tried various ideas with no results. I clean it off and it comes right back, all over the glass, heater, filter and the plants. Over the weekend I am going to scrub (I don't mean using anything bad - just elbow grease)...

I have twelve Silver Tip Tetras and they all chase each other too. There are enough though that all of them are chased at one time or another, its just what they do. The more there are the less chance that one will be singled out and bullied. They school a lot as well especially when I am...

Thank you for answering my question, I guess RO water it is then :good: Is there a specific salt anyone can recommend based on their own experiences and also what size do you think I should buy? Does it have a shelf life or anything?

Hello all you saltwater people! :hyper: Up until now I have been a freshwater person with two tanks to my name and now, as seems to be the natural course, I am heading into marine territory. Soon (a couple of weeks) I will be getting my new nano tank - a 24g one. I think its the JBJ Nano...

As already said, I think it often depends on each individual Betta. However, having said that, mine lives quite happily with Corys and Kuhli Loaches and I've never noticed any trouble between any of them. I would like to put some Amano Shrimp in with him but I'm too scared in case he eats them...

Thanks for answering my questions. I will keep a close eye on the behaviour of my Betta and make sure he doesn't start getting annoyed by the Corys - if this does happen I do have somewhere I can move them to so that shouldn't be a problem. Yes, the Sterbai Corys are in a community tank...

Hey, I was about to post a topic and then noticed this one which is so similar I thought I might get told to read around before posting so I thought I'd bring it up here :P I guess it might help being here anyway, expanding on the topic. A couple of days ago I purchased some Corydoras...

Hello, In the larger of my tanks I have six Platys. Five are female and one is male (used to be two males but one died). Two of the females are black and yellow, two are blue and the male is yellow/orange. On one of the blue (and maybe one of the black) females I have recently noticed...

Just thought I'd add a couple more. Here are a few of my Platy babies, sorry for the poor quality - they are tiny! These are about two weeks old I believe; they have started to colour up a bit and some have visible Mickey Mouse marks.

Nice clear photos :good:

Thank you for all the nice comments! :nod: There are two tanks shown in those photos, one is a 40 gallon (US) and the other is smaller, not sure exactly how big - about 10 I think.

I haven't really posted many photos before so I thought I would just put a few up and let people see some of my fish. Sorry if some of these are a bit rubbish, I'm still getting the hang of fish photos. Platy Another Platy Thelma and Louise - looking rather young. Apple Snails - Tank...

Welcome, I started off in a similar way to you but this forum soon put me on the right track! :good:

Welcome! :good:
