I bought a Fluval Roma 125 from AquariumsDelivered.co.uk Was the best price I could find. Ordered on the Saturday and was delivered on the Thursday. A very good service. They include any extra orders in with the delivery so all in all a decent deal. A very similar tank is the Jewel Rio...

Thanks for the pics. The heater is hardly noticeable and that was my last concern in what is a pretty small tank Ive now ordered it on net for £30 under RRP so I'm happy :D lovely lookin Betta too!

Is it possible to run a heater into it? Guessing it only requires a low wattage to heat 23 Ltrs

I'd not thought of that. Think I need to head down to the LFS and see the filter in operation in which case! Wasnt planning on removing them from the tank til they'd reach an inch and I can re-home. Thanks for the tip :good:

Would the new Fluval Edge tank be suitable as a fry tank? Ive two tanks of 90 Ltr and 125 Ltr housing Dwarf Neon Gourami's, Boesmani Rainbows, Balloon and Orange Mollies, black Phantom Tetra and Sterbai Cory's. Despite the love-it/hate-it reviews I've read from fishkeepers I do Love the design...

Looks like a balloon molly to me!

Was she hiding in the previous tank before you moved her? I thought you moved her to avoid harrassment from Males? In which case she could be hiding now because you've moved her to a new environment and she doesnt yet feel safe. That's perfectly normal for introducing a fish to a new tank...

I've 2 male neon blue Gourami's in a 90ltr tank. they get on fine with each other and I doubt they even notice the other inhabitants. (Mollies / Tetras) If you really want to fit as much as possible, consider the levels they swim at. Gourami's tend to stay near the middle and top, so adding...

I also have balloon mollies and my silver female is double the size of your specimen when expecting. She pops out fry every 4 wk cycle and is gigantic the whole time, so unless you make a note of the date, it can be very difficult to tell when a female balloon is ready to give birth. Being a...

I have a 90 ltr tank currently home to 4 balloon molly's, 2 neon blue gourami's and 3 tetra's. After the sad death of a batch of chocolate gourami's my tank is looking a little bare. :sad: The top and middle waters are busy enough, although I'm looking for something new to occupy the lower...

Thanks for the tips. i spend yesterday visiting 3 different fish stores to get some more advice. One guy said he keeps Denison's and uses a 5-6 Cherry barbs as a dither fish. So I've added 2 male and 4 female cherry B's and it seems to have worked. denison's colour is coming back, they're...

That's what I thought about tank size but unfortunately I'm stuck with it. Tank is 35cm from front to back so maybe not too bad. I'm feeding them pellets at the moment and they're eating them. Will try the peas tonight to vary things! Sounds like I need more plants though. Their colours did...

I've 3 Denison Barbs in a 120Ltr tank and all does not seem right. Their bright electric red stripe is almost invisible which I guess is a sign of their mood and they hide in the same corner all day long. They are skittish with the light on and I cant get them to the surface to eat flakes. In...

You're right - the first link is pretty depressing! these guys are gonna be hard work...

Ive just added 3 Chocolate Gourami to my 120 ltr tank. They join 2 dwarf neon gourami and 6 mollies. From what Ive read I see they aren't the hardiest of Gourami so does anybody have any tips? After 2 days they appear to be ignoring flake food. Though they did nibble at a blanched lettuce...

Bear in mind they may have been pregnant before leaving the local fish store. I acquired 4 mollies from my LFS a couple of weeks back and one of them gave birth to 20 fry just 5 days later. another was pregnant when I bought her and she still is now. Female mollies can also hold sperm for more...

90Ltr tank with 6 Balloon Mollies and 2 Neon Dwarf Gourami up and running for 2 weeks. Just doing my weekly water change I found and removed what is 100% definitely a Damselfly larvae. Have checked pics. It has 6 legs, approx 15mm long and 3 feather like prongs at its behind. Do I need to...

They sell it in World of Water. The product is made by seaview and can be found on the web if you dont live near a WoW. http://www.forpets.co.uk/product.php?xProd=2183 amongst other sites

My local fish store sells a glue stick (kinda like prit stick) specially designed to fix the backing sheet to your tank without spoiling the glass. makes the colours 100% bolder and more striking. I recommend.

i'd not thought of that. I was going to wait a few weeks and let the Mollies settle before adding a pleco. Didnt realise they eat snails as well as algae. Although with the amount of snails in there currently he'd have a feast and outgrow the tank within a week! good plan tho! thanks

Thanks to both of you for help and suggestions. I dont have a pic of the snails. Wish my camera was that good! Basically they range from 2-3mm brown ugly lookin snail types! they're on the plants, the glass, the substrate, the ornaments, everywhere I look! I'm reluctant to keep dunking my...

Hi there, Tank is cycled and has had 6 mollies swimming happily for 10 days. I have 4 random questions that anybody's help on would be much appreciated... 1) Can I add shells picked up from Thailand to my tank or will they contain trace particles that could pollute the tank? 2) I've a number...

Just got home with some extra decor and the male molly has now developed little white spots all over. In fact so have the 2 females. is this caused by the stress he's gone through? I've increased the temperature of the tank from 25 to 28 degrees to kill the parasites. What else will...

Thanks OM47. That sounds a good idea to break up the eyeline and add a few more carefully placed plants/ornaments. Glad to hear I dont need to be adding salt to the water, although In my naivety I hadnt planned for the Sailfins and Balloons to potentially cross breed! :crazy...

My tank has been up and running for about 8 weeks but I only added fish 7 days ago. 3 Sailfin Mollies and 3 Balloon Mollies (2 females & 1 male of each). Nitrate, ammonia are all in the correct ranges and water temp is about 25. All was peaceful until 2 days ago - the female Sailfin popped out...
