    What Do You Think?

I was told i can have upto 15 fish in this tank but...

    New Fish :)

    I do like the forum but everything i post seems to be judged rather than just helping me and pointing me in the right direction. The fish my parents had previously were guppys, danios and tetras and had them about 4 years, i dont know the life span of tropical fish but i thought this was a good...

    New Fish :)

    No an aquarium shop with 44 years experience, i used to go as a child with my parents. Parents have never had a problem with them and neither has anyone else to be honest so i trust them fully. I will have a look out for those fish, are they small ones? Only really want to stick with small fish...

    Newbie Here :) Hello!

    Ahh right :) thank you for putting it into simple terms, i will leave it to cycle and settle and see how it goes. I thought the filter sponges had to be changed every couple months but that sounds better :D lol Ahh no really? I dont want lots of babies, is there not any way to have just one sex?

    Newbie Here :) Hello!

    I will look into it but i dont see how it works, surely ammonia is more dangerous to fish. This cycle is done because of the filter having to settle, what about when the filter sponges have to be cleaned, half water changes, new filter changes? What happens to the fish then? I used to help with...
