ooo tell me more about what you guys do? :)

A few of us London folk have been meeting up on a monthly basis and organising trips to the Aquarium, and various fish shops etc. If you are a Londoner who wants to meet fellow fish keepers then you are more than welcome to join CLAS (Central London Aquarists Society)...

Hey Guys My cycle is done and I'm about to purchase my first fish, a small shoal of Rasbora Hengeli. I'm thinking 8 to start with as I know they like to be in decent size groups. I want to make sure I get going with a good feeding routine from the start. I've read that they will eat pellets...

up to 4ppm

Cool. Thanks. Will let you know how I get on.

Ah I see! so perhaps 4 cories for general cleaning and then a cat fish for algae? What do you think to the idea of the following stock level... after 3-4 weeks of fishless cycle 6 Harlequin Rasbora 2 weeks later 5 Guppies 4 Corbies after another 2 weeks 7 Neon Tetra and finally 2 weeks...

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I think with the tank being 70l I need to be careful how many little fellas I put in there. Still a good 3 or 4 weeks to go before I can put any fish in there so plenty of time to gather peoples thoughts and make choices.

Hello all. Newbie alert! not only new here but new to the world of tropical fish keeping. I'm currently on my 5th day of my new aquarium. I've set up a blog to document the process for a number of reasons. 1) I want seasoned pro's to read the blog and offer me help and advice. 2)I want other...
