No, the filter is under the gravel so be couldn't have touched it! I don't have another tank, I have actually just been looking online to see if I can get a small one cheaply, I'm guessing I would need the full set up? Heater and filter etc? Also do you happen to know how to set up a qt tank...

Since I took those photo's around 45 mins ago his tail is literally shredding before my eyes!! No other fish have touched him so it's not from being nipped, what is going on??? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a 60l biorb, I've had 3 male guppies who have been getting on famously and flourishing for the past few months. I have tried adding 2 new males on 2 different occasions and both times they have died very quickly. I am neurotic about testing and I know my water is good, so I put it down to...

Thank you so much that is excellent advice!! I've just googled it and the closest to me is Enfield, so I'm going to head over there today! Thanks again ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi, thanks for the quick reply! Yes the way I normally do it is float the bag for about 30mins then add a cup of water, float for another 30mins, repeat a few times so it's usually about 1.5 hours before they actually go in the tank! I have already thrown the fish out! The last time I went in...

Hello!! I have a 60l biorb and did a fish in cycle around April ish! I started off with 4 male guppies from LFS, one of which died pretty quickly (which was more upsetting than I'd imagined!). The other 3 have flourished and get on very well, no fighting etc. About a month later I added...

Thanks guys!! I will defo look for one of those vac's. It would make life so much easier especially with such a small tank!

Thank you so much! I'm new to fish keeping and just want to do it right lol. I will defo look into some air stones too, really appreciate the advice!!

Here is a pic of the bottom of the tank, I did a 50% pwc less than 24 hours ago Those specs that you see above the rocks are attached to the glass not floating, although after a pwc there is a lot floating.

I have a 60l biorb which has been running for about 8 weeks, I did a fish in cycle and my water parameters are great and have been for about 2 weeks. I have 3 male guppies in my tank, who get along great and all seem really happy and healthy. As I did a fish in cycle I was doing water changes...

Sorry the pictures are rubbish but they might help!

I've had a female guppy for about 3 weeks who was bought pregnant. Today I have noticed a very long silvery / white string coming from her bottom, looks nothing like poo. From what I've read it could be early labour or a parasite! She is quite lethargic and hanging around by her self at the...

Wow that is amazing!! How do you keep on top of the head count?? Or is it just me who has to count every fish every time I walk past just in case lol

The LFS initially tried to sell me 5 parrot fish for my 60l tank, even to me it seemed far too many! I know where I'll be getting my info from for the future that's for sure! Do you have pics of your tank?
