Hi everyone,

Recently rekindled fish keeping as a hobby for the first time since being a child. Trying my hand at a planted tank, currently home to some neon tetra, lampeye, golden ram, bristlenose, powder blue gourami (m&f) and a catfish.

The tank has been running since January and quite successfully so I’m on here for th community, general advice and if I have any questions that aren’t so easy to google!

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum

You don't need it currently but the following link has information about what to do if your fish get sick. It's long and boring but worth a read when you have some spare time. I recommend printing it out and reading it in bed to help fall asleep.

What to do if your fish gets sick

If your fish ever looks sick or unwell, then the following steps might help. Test the Water and Clean the Tank. Test the water quality for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH and write the results down in numbers. Check it for general hardness (GH) and carbonate hardness (KH) too if you can, but...

Welcome that's a lovely layout. Once those plants get more growth the tank will be absolutely gorgeous
