He generally swims belly down on the sand, although he likes to cling upside down in the driftwood, I've had a look online and I'm totally confused, I'll try and get a better pic of him

He is about 2 inches excluding his tail fin, I don't know how old he is as he is not my fish, he some times sucks to the side of the glass and is mainly nocturnal, he is very peaceful and keeps himself to himself, thanks for your help! He also has bristles on his lower barbs (below his top ones)

Hi can any one identify the type of catfish this is please, it was given to my freind and we don't know what he is, sorry about the picture quality!

Right, change over complete!, transferred all the sponges and took the internal filter out, all seems to be ticking over nicely, must say it looks a bit wired not having the internal in there any more!, I can't believe how much space it took up, I'll check my water stats tomorrow and make sure...

Thanks!, yeah I am a bit worried because I've spent ages getting all my water parameters right, and don't want to crash the whole thing, I'll give it a go now I think :)

Thanks for the info, I was planning on keeping the old sponges in there incase I need a hospital tank in the future

Hi all, a quick question please, I have a full matured internal filter running in my aquarium (100 ltrs), I want to upgrade to my fluval 204 which I have refurbished with new parts, am I right in thinking that because my internal filter was more than capable of running my tank I could just take...

Hi, thanks for all the helpful info guys! The red eyes are doing very well still happy as larry!!, I still don't understand what happened??, I think I will change my brand of water conditioner, I have had bog wood and plants in the tank from day, I'm just keeping a close on the tetras and they...

Sounds like a good plan, I think I'll step up my water chenges for the next couple of weeks and see how the tetra get on, I just don't know what happened today it all seemed to just "come on" out of nowhere, the tigers where fairly small so I'm guessing they weren't very old, they where so...

Thanks for your help buddy, I did do another water change and switched out the lights for the tetra they seem ok, if not a little stressed from me sticking the net in there tank all day picking out the perished barbs:( I'm a bit stumped what to do from here I really want to replace the tigers I...

They have all gone now:(

Yeah tested ammonia just now still at zero, I haven't added any thing else to my tank, they just seem to fall out the water and die a painful crazy death??

Looks like all the tigers are done for :(

Thanks for the reply, first off my test kit is an api master test kit, my last water change was about 80% I did this one in desperation, the tetras are fine with them they all got on fine. I have been using interpet tap safe and never had any issues at this moment in time there dropping like...

Any one please help.

I don't understand what's happened!, I've had my tank set up and cycled it for 2 months before adding fish, I had 10 tiger barbs and 5 red eye tetra in my tank, I have been checking my water parameters every 2 days to keep an eye on things my ammonia is always at 0 the nitrite at 0 and nitrate...

Cheers!

I have been cycling my aquarium for about 7 weeks now, for the last week my readings have been: Ammonia 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 5 days ago 10 ppm Nitrate last 2 days 20ppm Ph constantly at 8.1 Thanks

Thanks! Got my sand delivered today I ordered 25kg of silver sand from unipac, just found out that the porcalene Center post of the fluval is broken :( but you can buy spares for about £8 so cheap as chips so saved some money with the filter! I should have it setup and cycling in the next couple...

Thank you very much! Just the info I needed! Just a couple more questions, can you tell me how many gallons my tank is, and for the cycling can I use kleen off ammonia that you can get on eBay (just ammonia and water) I tried the chemist but they wouldnt give it to me without a prescription...

Any one?

Thanks for the reply, I remember the oscars I kept where great rewarding fish to keep, but I did alot of research about them first, I've always liked barbs, so thought I would get all my info about them first :)

Hi all, newbie here with a few questions. I have a tank I want to set up as a barb tank, the tank in question is 36"x15"x12", I have a fluval 204 external filter (given to me), heater, and light controller, I would also like to use aquarium sand instead of gravel, my questions are: Is the...
