I have a high quality gravel, a flame moss, 2 moss balls, 3 drift wood pieces and a tree trunk fake decoration

My tank was fine last week, had all the water parameters right except for the PH and water hardness a bit high. I wasn't too concerned about it since guppies seem to do well in these conditions but for the past 3 days I noticed the KH and Nitrates to get higher. I did 10% water change and it...

They are quite shy, so they will be hiding around most of the time. My tank has some drift wood in there for them to hide and lots of moss and moss balls (I don't have shrimp yet). I believe that once they feel more comfortable in there they eventually show up more often. As for food obviously...

I am also a newbie at breeding shrimp and as far as I know shrimp will not breed unless they are at their optimum conditions. I am also interested in breeding blue varieties of shrimp and I read that water parameters may vary between shrimp species (caridina, neocaridina...) so firstly get them...

Is that even a thing?? XDDD To be honest I don't think so, I got him from a professional fish store, they keep their animals in top condition and buy from reputable breeders. So I doubt the fish would have been dyed, and if he was dyed I think that Orne should have been too and he remained his...

As far as I know I haven't seen any symptoms of illness. The lighting in the tank is not LED, its a halogen lamp. To be honest I don't really feel like feeding them colour enhancing flakes, I don't trust the ingredients these might contain and I think that the situation with Valyk right now is...

He seems to have faded a little more today What can I do to stop this?

ok, I tried to upload the pics. There is a photo of what the tank currently looks like, a few puctures of how faded Valyk's colour is and a comparison with my other moskow blue male Orne who hasn't faded at all.

So today I noticed the colours of some of my guppies are fading. The 11 female guppies have been living in the 80 litre tank for a week now and my 2 males have been in there for 4 days. I checked the water and everything seems to be fine except for the KH thats a bit high. 3 females have...

Thank you!

I just recently started working on having an aquarium. I was gifted an 80 litre tank which I am currently cycling. At the moment it has high quality substrate (so I can add plants), flame moss and a moss ball thingy. It has an outside filter, an inside filter (because the filter hanging outside...

I was planning on starting small, hence why I decided to get a 80 litre tank to put guppies and shrimp in. I already read up on the stickies but I am confused because various people are coming up with all these different ways I should start my tank that I don't know who to listen to. Anyways...

Thank you for the fast reply! As far as I know my local fish store doesn't sell bacteria. I was thinking of starting with 4 guppys and maybe put a shrimp or 2? I've also been trying to find java moss (which is impossible to find apparently now haha) and some plants. The filter is not of a very...

Hello! Like I said in my introduction post, I'm still unsure of what fish I'd like to keep but some that I am growing fond of are guppies, shrimp and telescope eye goldfish (I don't know their name in english, thats what we call them in Spain lol) So I thought that a tank of about 80-100 Litres...

Hello! My name is Angie and I'm new to fish keeping :) I've joined a few forums from Spain but they aren't active or helpful at all unless you have rare fish to sell apparently... :ermm: So hopefully here I can find a more helpful community lol My interest in aquariums started a few years...
