    Theme Nightmare Tank

    Have had a Betta with Khulis (& some corys) for a number of months & have had no problems at all. The Bettas & Khulis pretty much leave each other alone & even at feeding time the Betta is more 'agressive' with the corys than the Khulis. Also, they do like to hide but once adjusted enough you...

    Gravel To Sand Change - How I Did It.

    Thank you! This is just what I am looking for as going to change the gravel I have for sand. The only question I have is what about the 'good' bacteria living in the removed gravel? I have heard differing opinions on this with some saying to do this bit by bit as gives the bacteria a chance...

    Betta Sick

    It could be a number of things ranging from White Spot (Ich), Fungal or Bacterial Infections etc. Could you post a picture? Another user posted a link to a website with loads of fish illnesses, will try & find it. Might be better to post in this forum section, more likely to get answers...

    Skirt Tetras And Fry

    Not sure about Pleco fry, but I have a Black Widow in my community tank and it has been trying to eat my 2 week old Molly fry! Luckily the fry are too fast but from what I have seen I wouldnt recommend it.

    My New Betta Tank - Questions?

    Was thinking of getting some Cherry Shrimp for my Betta tank, would like to hear other opinions on this. Is it just Cherrys or shrimps in general? Its a shame if its true as thought they would add some nice colour to the bottom of the tank & are fun to watch. In regards to OP, definitely...

    Nipping Mollies

    It might just be them sorting out who is top dog (fish?), but would keep an eye on them. Is the male hounding the females? As you said the white ones are the victims & seeing as they are females it might be the case... I have 2 Black balloon Mollies & 3 Dalmatians in the same tank. The Blacks...

    Paolo Nutini

    Thought this would be good for all you Paolo Nutini fans! Cadburys are doing a special collaboration with Fair Trade & if you visit their website you can download the 'Big Swap Song' album for free! It has Pencil Full of Lead (the only Nutini song) performed with a Ghanian band, as well as...

    Fish Tanks

    This seems like a very interesting thread! Still quite new to fish keeping but have been interested for a number of years. I was never really a fan of 'traditional' tanks i.e. rectangular with a hood, so for my first tank bought a Biorb (will post some pics later). These tanks are notorious for...

    Bottom Feeder With Betta?

    Really looking forward to this question being answered as I am in the same situation! At the moment I have a 30 ltr tank with a Betta & 2 Khuli loaches (will increase when LFS has more, how many?). Just wanted to know what else I could put into the tank.

    The Misfits Anyone Watch It

    Really enjoying the show! I wasnt expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Think the Irish guy might be a werewolf/shapeshifter. Just a guess but if you watch the opening, it shows their powers & his shadow is a wolf/dog.......

    Im A Celebrity Anyone?

    Totally agree with this!!! I find it really annoying and another way for the producers to manipulate and control who does what when!

    My Tanks...some Of Them Be Round!

    Thanks for all the tips Jennybugs! Unfortunately I did follow what the instructions and LFS recommended. Had the tank running for three days with no fish and magic sachets, then added the fish (4 guppies & 2 Mollies). That was when i learnt about cycling! The fish are fine (had a problem with...

    Weird Growth On Black Balloon Molly

    So 50% water change is the way to go? Just want to make sure as i was told not to take too much water out as it would remove the 'good' bacteria.

    Weird Growth On Black Balloon Molly

    Thanks for the reply. The shop suggested 1/3 water changes every other day. I did a bit more than third (40% ish) yesterday, would you recommend doing another today aswell? UPDATE: The bulbous bit has fallen off! There is still white residue and it looks elongated but not as bad as before...

    Weird Growth On Black Balloon Molly

    Had the water tested on Friday and the Nitrites were high, so was told to do a water change. Did one yesterday about 20%. Still waiting for my testing kit so not sure what levels are like today. Would rock salt work? EDIT: Took another picture:

    Weird Growth On Black Balloon Molly

    My Tanks...some Of Them Be Round!

    Hi Jennybugs, Your tanks are all amazing!! I am new to fish-keeping, and have recently bought a Biorb 60ltr tropical. After all the negative comments I have heard about it I was extremely disheartened, however seeing the awesome job you have done with yours I can see all is not lost...
