cold water

I have 5 guppies and they are living in a 70l tank. I have a 200l already set up, with no fish in it. I have done lots of tests and the water is exactly the same as the 70l (uk). The guppies are currently living with 3 rosy barbs (rehoming them soon). I didn't realise rosys were so aggressive...

What plants would be best suited for a cold water planted tank? Information about my tank: 70 litres (18 Gallons) 60l x 30w x 40h in cm (approx 24l x 12w x 16h in inches) Water hardness 105ppm or 5.5dH pH 7.5 Temp: 18 degrees Celsius after a water change and 20 degrees Celsius on average. No co2...

I used to have 9 platies (or platy) in a 70 litre tank with 2 Chinese Algae Eaters, sold as ‘Sucking catfish’. The two catfish and 4 of the platies were rehomed as there were too many males, leaving me with 3 females and 1 male. Soon after, I bought 6 (Golden) White Cloud Mountain Minnows as it...

Hi, so I’ve recently bought a 70 litre tank and cycled for 48 hours with beneficial bacteria and de-chlorinator. Tank dimensions are around 60cm x 30cm x 50cm and type is Blue Planet 70l. Is this big enough to have a community tank? If so, what types of fish could I have? I’ve been thinking...

To chronicle the journey of my 90 gallon tank. I got it cheap because the inside was pretty scratched up. The tag on the bottom says the tank was assembled in 1993, so the tank is older than I am.

I'm going to get a goldfish soon and I had a couple of questions. 1. What would be a good type to get? I don't want any of the really fancy ones since I know they can be pretty unhealthy. 2. How big of a tank might I need? I only plan on keeping 1 or 2 and I would prefer smaller, 30 gallons or...

Hey guys no idea if this is the right place for this. Sister has bought a black Moore goldfish, it seemed like it was doing great. A week or to ago it started developing these white marks and white pieces hanging off its scales. Now it seems like it has a large silver patch on its scales and...

Hi, I’m looking for advice in diagnosing one of my goldfish, they have this white lump on their side that seems to have come up over the last two days, they are the only one in the tank with such a lump, I’m not sure if this is white spot, or how to treat him he’s in a 250L tank that has a...

I have seen several suggestions around forums and pages suggesting an aquatics club. However, apart from pages on a well known social platform, have not found any physical clubs. So I am here to say that I will be setting up an aquatics club for North Wales. I am in talks with several clubs...

Just a heads up it's a long post. You have been warned. It's been a while since I last posted on here or even got on at all let alone started a new fish tank. Been about 1 1/2 years since I last posted and in that time I had my 220 gallon reef tank which was a great success but ultimately I made...

I've been having this problem for a while with predators waltzing into my pond and snatching up my fish, it's honestly heartbreaking to wake up the next morning with dead fish corpses covered in flies on your lawn. I usually get ransacked by racoons, neighbourhood cats, foxes and even a freaking...

Hello!   So we've been cycling our 55 gallon cool-water tank for a little over a month. It finally seemed good- every thing settled, water was clear, we had some healthy bacteria going on and 6 very happy little zebra danios. They would stir up sand and it would immediately settle...so I figured...
