I agree with HUKIT. You are going to have big trouble later with this stocking list. My experience is that the moori is bullying the frontosa, when it gets a bit more mature, I had to say goodbye to my frontosas in the past for that reason. Not to mention both cichlid should be kept in a bigger...

Sorry if you feel offended by my comment. The reason I am saying this is just because that is my experience. Mollies for instance are hybrid fish and very sensitive for stress, easily attract with diseases, and very often poor quality inbreeds therefore they have short life span. Ideal water...

I don’t think it is anything to do with the water changes though I would use some antichlor product on the top when I do the water changes. You said it was overstocked to the start with. What kind and how many fish are left? Fry might have been eaten by the adults. That happens quite often in a...

Is it last 5 times longer? If so then you must be right, but this is not my experience. Currently I don't have any special plants in my tank and if I would be so serious about the biotope what I have I hardly would have any plants, so I am more like being nosy on this. lol.

Carey, I am just wandering what is the difference between the high end brand bulb and the less fancy named, but with the same light parameters. What I found after a good research for fluorescent tubes afew years back that sometimes a non branded ones have better light spectrum then the most...

Do you have any fert by the roots? I had an issue like that in the past

I am afraid you will have to search hard for the red colour in Lake Tanganyika. With the size of your tank your choices are limited. The only fish I have found is the Petrochromis sp. "Red - Bulu Point" and some Moori but those not suitable for your tank size. So your choice of Malawi in this...

You have left out mathematics :)

They usually had ticker glass as they had different structure. Glass was probably different type as well.

List 2 if you ask me as those are mostly from Lake Tanganyika lol My advice would be keep fish from either from Lake Malawi of Lake Tanganyika. The reason is their needs are a bit different. Also I wouldn’t have the Plecostomus if you are having SA Chiclids there are is a native catfish you...

I have done it. First of all you have to use completely dry wood. Remove all the skin and put it in a bucket/ old unused tank add some rock on the top to keep the wood under the water and fill it up with hot water. Hot water will speed up the process. Change the water 1-2 times a day. Use hot...

354l is a nice size Aquarium will be a big difference after those goldfish :) Where about are you in England? I know a breeder who is delivering fish like once a month when he gets enough order. He is doing trips from Manchester London via Birmingham. The reason I am saying this he has better...

As for the corner of the tank I would glue a peace of glass to that corner fro inside so it makes it strong. If it is in the back then it won't be visible anyway Good luck
