    What are the effects of over-stocking?

    Hi, I have a 26 gal tank with a filter that can filter up to 80 gal. I also have 12 x-ray tetras, 5 guppies and 15 neon tetras which all seem to be doing fine. I've had the tank set up for about 9 months but I only put the x-ray tetras in about 4 months a go! None have died and they all seem to...

    Aquascape idea??!? :)

    Hi! I've had a 25 gal tank for about a month with a Betta, 6 guppies and 6 neon tetras! They seemed to be doing fine but I wanted to add plant substrate for my bacopa, so I've taken all the water out and put some amazona plant substrate in! It was a lot of money and ive kind of come to the end...

    Adding dirt

    I put gravel on (2kg) but it just mixed in with the compost! I ordered 5 kg of sand. Will that be enough to cover 30cm by 80cm? Does it have to be a certain type of sand? Thanks for your consistency.

    Adding dirt

    Thanks, I've emptied the tank and used miracle grow potting mix for my substrate! As I was getting my fish out with the net, I thought the tetra was in the net but it was actually slightly to the side of it, so when I tried to get it out, it went ton the side or the net which was plastic! I put...

    Advice for first tank; 5g

    I would recommend guppies! They are pretty, active and colourful! You may be able to fit neons in there but if it is tall, maybe not!

    Clown Pleco in Tannin-rich Tank?

    Shouldn't be a problem for the clown pleco! My friend kept a clown pleco in a way over-stocked 100l tank that was mirky and the fish were fine! In fact the pleco was one of the ones that survived the longest (8years)! My only worry is that your tank would be too small! I would say 100l would be...

    Need help quick, pregnant neon tetra?

    1 neon seemed to be "bullying" the other tetras (or so I thought) , she wanted to just stay by her self and when others came near she would chase them off!

    Can plants still grow without LEDs?

    I have a Java fern in a tank with a light "bar" at the top! The lights aren't LEDs so I was wondering if the plant would still be fine? I also have a blue led light with about 14 LEDs on it! Would the plant still grow or would I need a new big led light? Thanks

    I've had a 25gal/95l tank for about 2 and a half weeks and I have a betta and 6 neons! You may argue that I should have cycled the tank before adding fish but I kind of did! After having the tank for 3-4 days, I added a betta and a Java fern! The guy at the place I got the fish from gave me 2...

    Fish similar to goldfish??

    Hi! I was just wondering if there was an alternative to goldfish since the only fish that i like really are goldfish! I've always loved them and I wondered if there was a smaller version of a goldfish that I could keep! I kept a goldfish in a 6.6 gal/25l until I realised that that was way too...
