about to reset my tank up and trying to source some gravel   any black gravel i've purchased before tends to look black in the packaging but once in the tank seems to be a faded dark brown'ish colour rather than black   just wondering are there any recommended brands of gravel whereby it is...

stocked and slight re-scape; quite happy with it now   1 x Pearl Gourami 1 x Bristlenose Pleco 10 x Rummynose Tetra 6 x Ruby Barb 4 x Albino Cory                 going to gradually switch out some of the fake ones for real plants. as you say makes it a bit more natural

Ruby Barb's aren't aggressive, they're probably the most peaceful fish i seem to have in the tank i re-arranged all the decor and said rummynose now seems to leaves the Pearl alone but instead has decided to now constantly nip at my cory's. think i've just got a bad egg

water parameters are fine and tank has been up years. only recent change is rescaping and restocking in terms of stocking it's fine afaik. tank is 110l with stocking of; 1 x Pearl Gourami 1 x Bristlenose Plec 10 x Rummynose Tetra 6 x Ruby Barb 4 x Albino Cory just seem's to be this one...

added a small shoal (10) of rummynose tetra's to my tank. all was good for about a week but one of them has decided to go and constantly attack my Pearl Gourami. I've sat and watched and it's the same fish all the time. the Pearl is fine aslong as it stays in the corner or doesn't move but any...

all from the 'Sydeco' range, they look far better than any other plastic plants i've come across got them from seapets.co.uk and viovet.co.uk

all the 'plants' are artificial stocking atm is; 1 x Pearl Gourami 1 x Bristlenose Pleco 4 x Rummynose Tetra (will be 8 shortly) 4 x Albino Corys 4 x Ruby Barb and a few stray WCMM's and Harlequins that are temporary

well i say 'new'. an old tank that has been sitting around doing nothing for a year which I've decided to get going again tried to keep it as clean as possible without looking overly fake, what do you think?

Finally decided to get shot of the fake plants and have a go with real ones. Still working on it as I think it looked better with the fake plants. Any suggestions on plants to fill it out better, looks kind of empty atm. It's a start i guess. Before: Now:

after looking around think i'll buy the Power-Glo + Aqua-Glo combo. not to expensive and gets good feedback from what i've read.

Just rescaped my tank trying out live plants for the first time. Want to replace the lights aswell as always thought they were a bit dull especially lighting towards the bottom of the tank. It's a Juwell Rekord 800 with the standard stock lighting. First of all just wondering do different...

How do you get shot of the oily surface film floating on the water? Keep soaking it up with paper towels but it's back within 24 hours. Plenty of surface agitation so it's not that. Read about these surface skimmers you can buy, not sure how you connect them up tho, especially with built in...

I had a 60ltr tank previous to this one that i soon thought was to small so upgraded. It had bright blue and red gravel along with a load of orange and pink plants, soon realised how bad that looked so tried something a bit more 'real' if thats the word to use with artificial plants :lol: . Its...

just finished stocking my 110ltr tank guess the next step is to look at upgrading to real plants altho i still quite like it

Also just wondering are Bolivian Rams compatible with Dwarf Gouramis or will they fight?

Upgraded to a 110ltr tank about a month ago from a 54ltr. Dont know if it's fully stocked or not and i know the numbers for some of fish arent ideal as they should be in groups and i could do with bumping them up but not sure if i should. Tank is fully cycled but i dont want to add anything...

Just fed them and the black one of the group seems to be changing colour again, back to something more like the other 4. Guess the colour changing is normal then, panic over :)

Picked up 5 of these from the LFS this afternoon. Had never seen them before and was told there ideal for a community aquarium, similar in appearance to Tiger Barbs just without the fin nipping. They were in a tank with Harlequin Rasboras so figured they'd be great. Sure enough there very active...
