suggestions

After running back and forth to get my water tested at the LFS, I figured it would probably be more economic (and easier overall) to just buy my own test kits. However, I'm not entirely sure on whether I should invest in liquid or strip test kits. So TFF, I got to ask: which one do you prefer...

hey guys :) I have just bought a 10 gallon tank after my betta died and I wanted to try something new. I'm looking for suggestions on how to stock it. At the minute I'm thinking about livebearers although I would only get males because I'm not wanting fry. Guppies? Platies? Mollies? Endlers...

I’m considering changing my internal filter. I’ve tried the Interpret CF filter. I really liked this filter as the filter can be easily lifted out if needed and the sponges can easily be removed without removing the filter. Only problem I had was that the bracket for the filter kept falling off...

Hello all, So I currently have a 29 gallon with gravel substrate. I also have a group of 7 mollies with half being juvenile (inch or less) and half being about 1.5-2 inches. I currently have the tank salinity around 1.003/.005 as I’ve been told mollies need a little bit of salt especially when...

Hey guys, I’m new to the hobby, started out with a 64L tank, how many small fish would be recommended? I’m aware they will grow and I’ll need a bigger tank but is this one currently too small for what I have? I have had the tank for a few months 8 neon tetras 4 cherry barbs 2 sterbai corys 1...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, if not I'm sorry, but does anybody know of any good quality online stores to buy from in Australia that sell a range of live plants or aquascaping supplies including rock, driftwood, backgrounds etc? I can't go out yet due to lockdown and...

I have a goldfish (Hope) and 10 days ago I noticed that she had some white spots on her. I noticed this a couple hours after adding 6 new smaller goldfish to the tank. The next day I went and got API Ich medication and started treatment. I went through the entire process twice over the course of...

Hi, I’m currently struggling with a tank overrun with snails! I have researched ways to get rid of them or at least control the population, but as my tank is only 54l, clown or yo-yo loaches will grow too large. I have one assassin snail that I put in recently but I haven’t seen it since and...

Hello! I am fairly new to fishkeeping, only a few years (so nota complete beginner), and I want to take up a really nice centerpiece fish for my 20 Gallon high that I'm going to be setting up soon. I was thinking a Kribensis, since it is small, pretty chill, and doesn't cost much. I was thinking...

This always happen when I about to post something at 6-7 PM, Im pretty sure @Colin_T have the same problems. Please fix this bug.

Hi tomorrow I am going to my LFS and I would like to get some type of clean up crew because one of my two nerite died. I would like something that can eat dead leaves and fish poop. Would ramshorn snail be a good idea and how many? I would have got shrimp but I have a paradise fish that would...

Hi all, I have recently bought a new tank and all the other items required for a freshwater set-up. The filter I went for in the end was the FX4, however I am a bit stuck on what spray bar to use. The water outlet supplied by Fluval, similar to pictured below, doesn't work for me. At the...

Title. Hi guys, wanted to know if there are any decent CO2 systems that are relatively easy to just hook up to a tank and go. never used anything other than a tropica 60 system before so an all-in-one system would be preferred. Cheers!

Hi guys, I'm going to be setting up a 55 gal soon, and wanted some suggestions on which rainbowfish I could get. Any suggestions? My water is hard so they seem the best choice! I've been looking at: Neon Dwarfs Turquoise Irian Reds Pseudomugil furcatus Pseudomugil luminatus Thanks!

I was initially going to purchase another 10G but found a 15G that was somehow smaller than my bedside table... Anyway I've mostly been mentioned bettas which I already have five of so I'm a bit iffy with giving a 15G to another betta unless I simply fall in love with one before I can get it...

Hi Everybody! I recently just moved my goldfish from my 45g tank to my new 125g tank and I'm undecided/unsure what I should put in my 45g tank. Do you have any suggestions? I'm pretty much good with anything fresh water. I was leaning towards either cichlids or angels. If I go with cichlids...

Hi. I am new to fishkeeping and need some help. I soon plan to get the Aqueon 36 Gallon bowfront ensemble. I don’t know what filter (suggestions are appreciated) or heater. I would like to have An Angel or two and some Diamond Tetras, maybe a ram. Other than that I need some suggestions. I am on...

I have a 55 gallon fresh water with 3 Bantas (I had 5 but 1 died and 1 literally disappeared) and 3 other smaller fish. (name escapes me this moment). I'm thinking of adding some shrimp.. does anyone have suggestions (name) for something easy and fun to watch? I see Amazon has some for...

Hi - I'm an intermediate fish keeper who's looking for a new aquarium for my kitchen. I really like the look of the Biorb Life 30 litre tank. However, I've heard mixed reviews for Biorb all together. Would any of you have any suggestions for a modern looking 30-40 litre tank that is...

Hey guys!! I have a 2 year old tank that I kind of want to spice up. It's a 21 gallon tank with community tropical freshwater fish. I currently have (4) 2.5" red wag platys and (6) 1" neon tetras. I've never had a fish die on me so I guess that means I take good care of them?¿? So I have three...

Hello! I've recently started sorting out the tank I've had since childhood (The scrub mistakes I've made over the last ten years...). So far I have replaced the rubbish internal filter with an eheim ecco pro 130, replaced the substrate and decorated it with some Java ferns, Java moss, Hair...

I currently have a 40g (36"x18"x15") stocked with the following: 1 3.5" Rainbow Shark 3 Zebra Danios 4 Common Hatchetfish The Rainbow Shark I have had for about a year and a half and he is very calm. I used to have an Angel (re-homed due to aggression) and the RBS only ever showed aggression...

So we just got a new 125 Gal Tank. We've had tanks for years and years but never one this large. The possibilities are endless! The water directly from faucet reads 7.4pH, but after sitting for 24 hours it levels off at 8.2 pH. Because the tank is so large, we want to get fish (or creatures)...

I just set up a new tank with 4 cichlids! Im wanting to add some catfish and 1-2 shrimp. So suggest what to add that will go with my cichlids!

Hey Guys,   So I'm not new to the scene of fish keeping, but this is by far the largest design I've done. So due to a lack of knowledge in fish species, I need some help with what to choose!   I currently have a tank which is: 222 litres (58.6 US Gallons) It's filter is the: Tetratec EX1200...

Hey guys! I'm relatively new to this fish thing and am currently 15 years old in Australia :)   I figured the best way to get started would be to introduce myself to a bunch of people educated on the matter! So for starters here's the basics,  About 1 or 2 months ago my grandpa sprung two tanks...

suggestions please!!   Right now, my 15 gallon tank holds 2 emerald cories, and 1 juli cory.   Now I know I know.. i'm supposed to have more of each cory species. I did have more, but due to fatalities over time.. this is what I have now.     I just had a dwarf gourami, that passed due to an...

Hi! I currently have a 42 litre fish tank with 1 male betta fish & 6 galaxy rasboras. However I've seen a fish tank and stand (Juwel Rekord 600) for a mere £30! And so of course I'm going to leap for it, but hey - now Im wondering about the possible fish I can keep. (If I can.) Just to...
