I don't have a microwave and my plec doesn't seem to like it raw Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I'm going to get some clips because I don't have a microwave. My other fish are dwarf gourami rummy nose tetras and Cardinal tetras, they are so greedy wouldn't be surprised if they tried to eat it. Thanks for the advice guys ? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I already use tap safe but i think it just gets rid of the chlorine really. Doesn't mention ammonia. The ammo chips, I dont think they make filter bags for my filter so would they work still if i bought a filter bag and put it at the bottom of the tank underneath the filter stream? Thanks :)...

I'm going to try ammo lock today. I have had my tank set up for 2 months and i am still having ammonia issues. After a lot of water changes and still getting 0.25 to 0.5 ammonia readings i just tested my tap water out of interest and my levels are 0.25 in my tap water!!!! So this has been...

Oh great !! When I bought the plec they said just to put it in but I thought that can't be right. Thanks ? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

So, I bought some cucumber for my plec and i put a thin slice in my tank but it just floated to the top. So i then thought if i put a bigger chunk in it might not float but it did. Does this matter if it floats ? Or can the plec not get to it then? I want to start feeding the plec more...

This might sound really daft but I have tried to put cucumber in my tank for my plec but it keeps just floating to the top so I presume the plec wont be able to get to it then? Does anyone else put the cucumber in and it floats? Thank you :) Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I have 5 rummy nose Tetra's in my tank with a dwarf gourami a rubbernose plec and one cardinal tetra. We did have 5 cardinal's but we had casualties and i am waiting for my water to stabilise enough so i can add more cardinals. The rummynose's are really quite happy letting him tag along...

Do you have any advice on how much more I could potentially have in my tank? I've tried to find out on google but it's all so conflicting and you seem to know your stuff ? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Hi Caleb I just wanted to let you know that i have done 3 water changes since the last post. My usual process is to empty the water out then fill a clean bucket (i have a bucket specifically for the tank) add the water conditioner and slowly add the water back in. When i do a 25% change this...

My rubbernose has been out for an hour tonight swimming around and is still going, but this is the first time since i bought him. Had him around 6 days now. Glad to be able to get a picture or two!!! Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I had two male dwarf gourami in my tank. I was sold these both together at the same shop. They were fine for a while but then the larger of the males started relentlessly chasing the other male. I went to the shop and told them, they said it would calm down. Waited another few days but the...

I thought that about the filter pads but I read the instructions on the back and it said to change both at the same time. I also asked in the pet shop if I should change one and then wait a few days and change the other but they said because it's a carbon filter it should be fine. So much...

Hi Caleb Thanks for the info. So, i presume that if i carry on as i am but up the water changes as and when required to keep the ammonia as low as possible then it will be cycling already? I will bear in mind the info on the cardinal, he isn't showing any signs of stress and the other...
