Im not sure what it is, only fish disease i've had or seen before is Ich which it does not look like. Looks white and stringy This is a new fish I only got 2 days ago, I got 2, this one is worse than the other but the other may also be affected bought with 6 Otocinclus from the same tank which...

I often find if fish are hiding a lot something large in the middle of the tank can bring fish out from being shy, usually people put plants or decorations and wood nearer the sides and back of a tank and then fish will hide behind them but if there was something large in the middle then they...

Neon Tetra and Cherry Barb are a little small for when you have full sized Angels, you could maybe replace them with a bigger type of fish like Melon Barbs or 5 Banded Barbs which are cool looking and would be big enough not to be scared of other fish and unlike Tiger Barbs probably wouldnt...

I'd say return 5 and get 2 more panda platies. Tiger Barbs do get kind of big and thick for a smaller fish although it will take a while and they would be fine for now it's probably best to rehome them when they are young. Keep 7 as the more you have the more chill they are, they are fish who...

Depends how new you are to it. I think in a 29 gallon you can get a good 12 cories, 6 of 2 species could be good. Personally I like Albino, Panda and Sterbai as cool looking ones. Albino are the cheapest and most common but I really like how they look and I find them to be one of the most...

On Wednesday - so 6 days ago, possibly Thursday a 2 year old put a bit of potato, pea and like a tiny bit of dark like beef gravy into the tank to "feed the fishes", luckily the potato stayed whole and I netted it out right away and the 2 peas I just left since I know fish can eat peas anyway...

Yeah it would be overstocking both tanks but I am on top of water changes and tank maintenance. I have definitely decided against Tiger Barbs though, they get too big and once they were full size i'd probably not be able to have other upper swimming fish so i'll stick to smaller fish. Was...

I think they are roughly that size, 125l and 64l. Both tanks are 25c/77f. Planned stocking 33G 7 Platys 10 Tiger Barbs/other smaller fish 14 Corys (1 Pepper Cory,3 Bronze Cory,3 Albino Cory,6 Panda Cory,1 Bandit Cory) 17G 3 Platys 10 Celestial Pearl Danios/Galaxy Rasboras/other smaller fish 6...

My water conditioner just ran out today and I was buying more on Amazon and decided to just buy it on "Subscribe & Save" since it was £1.50 or so cheaper but when I clicked on it on the next page it came up even cheaper. Initially it was saying to be delivered on like the 14th of August or...

Nice, recently I had only 1 platy fry make it. A girl white with orange stripes, it's really fun to see little "kids" grow up and survive especially when its very small numbers and natural.

As the bottom of the tank fish I'd like 6-8 cories and like 5 ottos, I usually always stick to small fish and have never owned a fish that gets to 5 or more inches before. Now I would like to have one but have no experience of rainbow/ruby or red tail sharks and wonder if it would trouble the...

Stocking looks fine to me, its mostly small fish. I feel you can get more small fish epsecially whe you stick to groups from different levels like bottom, middle and ones like guppies that roam everywhere as they stay out of each others way and the main problem with over stocking is...

I feel sand is easier to maintain, it lays flat and its pretty easy to vacuum with a siphon. Gravel gets dirtier as waste gets between gaps and siphoning and sucking it up means you usually need to level it after as well. Depends on the fish though, some fish I think like to nibble gravel for...

Yeah it turned out it was the heater, my new one arrived today and the tank is now stable again. :fish2:

I just got an air pump like 3 days ago(Tetra APS 100), my first ever time despite having tanks for like 9 years now. Anyway it was almost disaster, just by chance I ordered shelter type thing as I got corys a week ago and for them to hide under or whatever and it was arriving today. So I...
