Thanks, came in very useful. Just want to get the move over with now :)

Hi I’m moving house in a few weeks and would like some advice on the least stressful way to move my fish. I have a 63litre tank with 3 Corys, 3 Danios, 2 Shrimps and a Snail. There were more but over the last few months a couple have passed away, and with the move in mind, were not replaced...

recently my peppered cory has been floating on the surface of the tank. He looks healthy and seems fine apart from the floating. He doesnt look bloated and can swim to the bottom when moving but when he stops to rest it seems to be on the surface. All the other fish in the tank are fine. Here...

Okay thanks a lot :good:

Thanks, should i boil in water from the tank or tap water?? Does the chlorine in the boiling water matter??

I have just added 2 more Peppered Cotys to my tank, they are getting on nicely with my Danios and other corys.

Thanks for the advice, i would isolate him but i dont have a hospital tank :sad: Sorry to sound like an idiot but how often and what green veg should i feed them?

Thanks for the quick replies. The tank has been cycling for 2 months, it was a fish in cycle with 3 Danios, as the levels died down i added 3 more Danios. About 2 or 3 weeks ago i added 2 peepered Corys, and just yesturday i added 2 more peepered corys. The fish that keeps floating is one of...

I have a 63litre tank with 4 peepered corys and 6 Danios. It has a fine substrate and live plants with plenty of places for them to hide. Recently i have noticed one of my Corys keeps floating at the top of the tank, on his side or upside down. I came down one morning and actually thought he...

I have a 63 litre tank and have 3 zebra and 3 leopard Danios. I want to add a corry catfish but would appreciate some advice. So heres a few questions. Can corries be mixed like Danios? such as a peppered Cory and a Albino Cory?? Ideally i would like to get two, but can they live on there own...

Thanks for the advice, ive added three leopard danios, they've been in for a week now and there all fine. The leopards do look nice and its good seeing them all school together as the zebras didnt really do tis with just the three of them. Im going to add a cory next and then maybe add some...

I have 3 Zebra Danios which are cycling my tank and want to add 3 more when its done so they can school together. My question is that can i add any type of Danio such as Leopard or blue or do they have to be more Zebras???

Thanks for all the advice on the lights. I have a 15w t8 bulb which came with the tank and it does seem quite bright so I have been switching the lights in the room on before turning it off, so it isn’t so much of a shock. I like the point about being similar to nature, I forget sometimes that...

to switch the light on and off at the same time each day? Also im worried about one of my zebra danios, i have 3 in my new tank and 2 are fine but one just hides away in a this rock cave i have for hours, spends more time in there than outside. Is this normal?

I have 64 litre tank with a 15w t8 sun glo light, i would like to put in some plants that dont need extra co2 and can basically go in with minimum maintance. Is this possible and if so what plants? or should i stick to plastic plants for now? Thanks in advance.

I have a new tank with 3 zebra danios which has not started cycling yet, my orginal filter had zeolite in ive removed that and fixed it all up so there in there 2nd day with fixed filter, 8th if you count the zeolite days. To start of with they were acting like i had read and imagined...

Right thanks for all the advice. I have managed to pry open the plastic containers holding the carbon/zeolite and have stuffed filter floss in and have done a water change. Hopefully everything will be all good now. Just waiting for the Ammonia boom. Hope my 3 little zebra Danios survive. Really...

I have this filter in my new tank set up and have had 3 zebra danios in the tank for 6 days now, ive been waiting for the ammonia levels to peak and nothing has happened, i then found out that the filter media cartridge has Zeolite in. Im worried this will slow down or even stop my new tank...

Yeah ive read that, thanks for the link. Im just wondering if the zeolite is going to hamper the growth of my bacteria and if so is there anything i can do to help cycle my tank?

Im using a Nutrafin mini master test kit. Ive tested it today and there is no ammonia and a very slight trace of nitrite. I have an Elite Stingray 15 under water filter which came with the package i got. Hold on i think it has zeolite in the filter cartridge. So what does this mean is it good or...

I have a new 60litre tank with 3 zebra danios in and have a number of fake plants but as im doing a fish in cycle (bad LFS advice :mad: ) im expecting my ammonia levels to spike and therefore want to do as much as possible to reduce stress and harm for my fish. Ive been reading that certain...

So how long does it take for the ammonia levels to spike in a new tank? Ive had 3 zebra danios in mine for 5 days now and no ammonia what so ever? Is it days or weeks or does it just depend on different tanks?

Been testing water everyday as im waiting for my cycle to start in my new tank. There is 3 zebra danios in there and there is no ammonia or nitrite so the cycle hasnt began yet but i tested the Nitrate levels and its 10mg. I then tested the tap water and found the same reading in the water. Is...
