Due to an expanding family I have decided that we need more room in our living room and unfortunetly my 50" Tropical fish tank has to go. I am firstly selling off all the fish then equipment. All need to go as soon as possible. I am open to offers if taking various fish at a time. All the fish...

Think he recommended doing daily changes because of the constant food that needs to be in the tank now??? Not sure...

Thanks for the advice. So i've wedged a yummy piece of courgette so its on top of the spray bar and another piece for the other tank mates so they don't go exploring around the spray bar and find the extra snacks available! :blink: So daily water changes! Currently do a weekly change of 25%...

Evening all! So came home from work and was greated with about 6 bristlenose plec fry! Never had fry so i'm panicking now about everything! They are currently hanging around the Eheim spray bar and look like they are feeding off the glass and surrounding area and look quite happy but i'm...

I suggest using vinegar and not rushing that process. The manufacturer sells it as a PH buffer for a reason.

What filter are you running?

This is copied from another post. I've followed the instructions many times and had no problems. Oh and also used good old tesco value bleach as well... To recharge I ignore the instructions which would have you use bleach then buy buffers. I put the bag in a bowl of 1:1 bleach and water for...

Been researching a bit and found Mardel Labs Maracyn II powder medication. Heard its a powerful anti-biotic. Is this what I need to buy? Thanks http://www.discountedpetproducts.net/FRESHWATER_MARACYN-2_POWDER_8_PACKETS-UKP70641.html

Need some help please on a couple of sick fish.... The first one is a Betta bought from a rubbish fish shop in Chesterfield about 1 year ago. He has been ill on and off ever since and this time has taken a turn for the worse. First off about six months ago I had to remove a anchor worm from...

That is why I said my previous post. Anyway going back to the issue I found it easier to use a big bore clear tube around half inch and just hovering above the poo etc and it draws it in from quite a large area. Better than messing around with a tiny tube! Tried both.

Lol yeah ta was ranting a bit! Sorry about that think it's the old age setting in.

Haha have you read your original post. Poor spelling and no grammer...think you need to sharpen you're crayons' chief. LOl i remember then my brother didn't know he havd to clean his gravel. I went over and pulled up handle full of gravel Tank went brown Stinking. Told him to clean it lent him...

Oh right so it was English then...

What??

Just wondering if anyone else owns one of these fish? Looking for advice on what to feed them as mine is a fussy eater... Thanks

Update, Thanks for your replies. The fish seem to have settled in and all found place in the tank now. So it was i guess just them finding their pecking order. Rob

I'm not sure of the scientific name for them and i'm not 100% sure that they are five banded barbs as the guy in the fish shop told me they were cherry barbs??? I've attached some pictures to try and help with this but the dam things wouldn't stay still!! This is a 50g tank Thanks again

Hi Last week I purchased 5 five banded barbs from my local fish shop and was gauranteed that these fish were peaceful and definetly not fin nippers (as i've heard bad things about the tiger barbs habbits). I bought 3 Females and 2 males and 1 of the females is going around and nipping all my...

Sure they sell it at Wharf Aquatics (in store) they have a large display rack with them on as i buy the micro pellets and wafers....

Just wondering if anyone had a Eheim Filter 2028 or better for sale or would exchange for a full sized perfect dishwasher Whirlpool ADP 4601? (LOL you never know!!) I would happy collect from you in the Derbyshire surrounding area. Not fussed about condition but must be in a working condition...

Ahhhhhhh fantastic just what I was hoping you'd say! How much would you like for the co2 kit and would you be willing to post? Thanks Rob

has all this been sold now?

Yeah just green water. I've added 6 fast growing plants and done a water change so that might help things. Hopefully!

I've heard it's the best "natural" way of getting rid algea??

I've been reading all about the great benefits of using barley straw in aquarium sumps to kill water born green water algea. But due to limited space i cannot have a sump on my 50G tank so you can imagine my excitment when i read in Practical Fish Keeping Magazine that Aqua Hydrotech have made a...

How much for the Rummy Nose and how many have you got? Thanks

DIY it. So long as its as strong as the original structure or better.

Just buy a couple of SAE they love the stuff!

Lol my fluval 403 is permantly in a bucket because of the reason above and also when you come to do maintanance water will go everywhere from where the pipe shuts off from the filter so its best to aim it in the bucket its in.

got no chance really of buying new media baskets for it. Your best bet would be to buy another 203 from Ebay which comes complete with media baskets they are quite cheap i picked up a 403 for £7.50 to run along side my 305 and works perfectly.
