Hi all :)
i'm going to be decorating one of the rooms in my house and will be moving my bedroom into it. however i do have a 35ltr tank all set up with fish and shrimp in. what would you advise is the best way to move it? its literally a few feet away so its not going to be moved far. but i'm...
it sounds like (and i dont know the proper names unfortunately) what i had at one point and still sorta do. are they like little white squiggly things, usually on the glass, they look like little worms? if so i've had it and from what i researched they seem to be because of "excessive" waste in...
as far as i can tell at the moment at least 6 out of the 8 RCS are alive in the tank, at least one of which is carrying babies. The betta honestly doesnt bother with the shrimp at all. the RCS are usually hidden so he never sees them anyway and when he does they move away from him. and our amano...
Hi all :)
i have in my tank (or should have) 8 RCS. however over the last week or 2 it seems as if their numbers have dropped. i can still see one or 2 but not in the place that i believed to be their "home" in my tank. we do have a betta but we havent seen him eat any, i realise that doesnt...
Yeah i was just clarifying that i wasnt talking of a childrens night light haha. and thank you for that we get a fair amount of light in our room anyway so i may just get the night light so its not such a drastic change when going from day to night time
hi all :)
just a quick one. do night lights, and when i say night lights i dont mean kiddy night lights i mean things like this Micro LED light blue by Marina | Pets at Home
affect fish sleeping paterns?
i was thinking of getting something like the above light to illuminate my tank at night...
My girlfriend initially wanted just some goldfish in a bowl, but we got the bowl and 2 goldfish (and i realise NOW this was bad) also afterwards got some neon tetras and a molly.... yes i know terrible. after that we did some serious research and got a 19ltr tank (spent nearly £100 on it) and...
i would say maybe some small doses of melafix if he doesnt get better soon. just do a fifth of the normal dose (so if its 5ml only do 1ml) i have a betta and inverts and all of them are still fine after being dosed. my betta got scared the other day and managed to bump himself about and looked...
i found that my nitrites stayed pretty high for a while and then after a couple of weeks it was suddenly down to 0ppm. after that i did about a week of testing to make sure it was working ok and that was it done
when i cycled my tank i did 4ppm of ammonia and tested daily until it dropped to 0ppm ammonia then dosed it back up until i saw nitrites drop to 0ppm and then stay at 0ppm. i personally think your dosing too much too regularly. if you've already got 5ppm of ammonia today, leave it for a few days...
haha mine does the same i've seen plants move from one end of the tank to the other because he knocked them loose. even seen him try to move my heater and such as well haha
If you dont care about overstocking you shouldnt be on this forum. no one will give you an answer now simply because your being stupid. so Fishy Aston. must remember never to reply to/read anything from/or even acknowledge you in future if your going to be like this. no point it just wastes...
Below is the 10 gallon my betta is in at the moment. a couple of months ago he was in a 5gal bow front. for this betta, he prefers his new tank.
IMO its down to the betta. some betta's will be fine in a 2-5gal and be happy as larry. but then some might want a bigger one. i would say get a...
we've had them a few weeks now and all the amano are still there and far as we know (theres a lot of hiding places in my tank) all 8 RCS are still alive. yeah every now n then he chases them but hes a slow swimmer and they are really fast shrimp. if he does kill em though you'll be the first...
