Hiya, ok me tanks got all I intend to have in it, now, which is three guppies, 2 mollies 2 platies and 5 tetras, I have a hill stream loach in another tank, will he be ok in my tropical tank?? Please help, if he can, i may be able to put him in today *drools happily*

Also, My tanks been going for over a month now and i am havign problems, the filter isn't pickign up parts that fall on gravel, so my gravel is dirty which certainly cant be good, any ideas what I can do? To be honest i really dont want to disturb my fish coz i lovey loves them sooo much, any would and undergravel filter also be good aswell as a side tank filter?? i may have a few more Q's i just gots to think at the mo


Taa! *kisseys*

The filter isn't really supposed to pick up all the stuff that lands in the gravel. You'll need to vacuum it periodically with a gravel vac.

Undergravel filters are really quite outdated. Most hang on and canister filters serve very nicely for the biological and mechanical filtration.

Hiya, Thanks!! Any ideas where i can buy this online? I have trouble getting around recently.... an accident during a skate boarding comp, so i think maybe if i could buy off line in uk is ideal.. taa.

oooo... sorry to hear about your accident. Take care of yourself now, ya hear?

I'm from the US, so I have no ideas on ordering on-line in the UK. Maybe if you do a google search you'd find something.

Will do. Hehe, i was on ramp and my boyfriend went passed fell and took me down w/ him whilst theer was other people still on the ramp and we all crashed intogether... it hurts to even move

I don't think my current hillstream loach is ideal for my aquarium, the temperatures would have to be pretty tight me to make him and my other fish happy, how do you all feel about ancistrus?... They seem ideal.

www.trimar.co.uk ship to most parts of U.K for a tenna- next day delivery. Ancistrus are nice, they don'tt get too big unlike mostother pl*cos. How big is your tank?
