No I really appreciate that- its just I forgot to mention in my original post about the betta so thought I should mention it but I thought that pygmy cory would be good as they won't harass the betta, thanks!

I added a golden gourami and pearl gourami to my 95l last week and the golden gourami has started nippping at my betta so the plan now is to move the betta into the smaller tank (only if my lfs won't take the gouramis back) so the 28l needs to be filled with little fish who will leave Sheldon...

Hello, I already have a 95l tropical tank up and running but I have set up a smaller 28l tank which has been through cycling for 6 weeks to add to my collection. I know it is smaller but I wanted some suggestions to stock it. I am thinking maybe a species specific tank but want smaller fish so I...

I understand what you are saying :nod: I just got very caught up in worrying about everything to do with the fish, so I guess all I wanted to say was - try not to stress too much - sometimes you end up doing things which don't benefit the fish or the cycle. If you are unsure - always get some...

Hi there Darkcat, I am also very new to tropical fishkeeping and have only had my tank for 2 and a half months. The forum is a great place for advice and everyone is very helpful. What I would say is that I did exactly what you have done. We went out, bought a 95l tank and 3 days later...

The betta is getting on fine with all the others although he's not too fond of his own reflection!!! But we haven't had any issue with him so far (fingers crossed it stays that way! Thanks for all the advice, helpful as always!! Gem

Hello all, We have a 95 litre tank, and current residents are: 10 neon tetras 3 scissor tail rasboras 4 zebra danios 1 betta splendan 1 little bristlenose plec (Oscar - he's so cute) we would love some rummy nose tetras - would this be ok?? :unsure: Gem

Thank you all for the advice! I feel really awful for the fish - knowing its my fault its dead! I hope the rest make it!! Thanks again Gem

This is week 3 but the test kit said the levels are fine (I have tested everyday and the levels are stable) - and I have 6 very small fish in a fairly large tank. I was advised that a water change should only be done if a build of ammonia etc occurs to allow the tank to cycle. The other fish...

Its an API test kit - my fish died last night - absolutely gutted, ran the tests again, all the same and the rest of the fish seem fine - not sure what I've done wrong!

he has been in there a week, I am the idiot who listened the the lfs and am now in the fish-in cycle, he is only in the tank (95litres) with the other 3 rasboras and 2 zebra danios - i dont have a spare tank - if i turn the light off - will that help do you think?? I am almost convinved he is...

Hi, I have 4 scissor tailed rasbora, 1 of them didnt eat anything tonight - it is staying clear of the other and is hanging about at the top of the tank - It looks paler than the rest and doesnt even have the same shape at the moment - it looks grey. The water is at 25 degrees, its 0ppm...

Thanks for all your advice :good: Ammonia levels are back at zero following one dose of the remover of Sunday! I have the API testing kit - it's very comforting being able to test the water so I know whats happening in there! All my fish seem to be happy enough (fingers crossed)and giving...

Thank you soooooo much for not judging me for start!! I was worried about the backlash of having fish in so soon! As i have added the ammonia remover this afternoon, should I test it later and if still high do a water change straight away? sorry for all the questions! Gem

Hello everyone, I am new to keeping tropical fish - Bought tank from local store and cycled using Nutrafin Aqua cycle as advised. Had the tank a fortnight and the fish went in 4 days ago (can I clarify first that the shop said this was fine and had I been online - would have realised this was...
