OK, so it's been a while since the close down of my tropical tank, but I'm coming back into the game in a few months and myself and my girlfriend have decided that a marine set up is for us. It's going to be a few months yet. I wanna be absolutely prepared and do all my homework before I start...

Hi, I have your PM and I will reply to you ASAP, I'm just really busy at the moment, so it'll take a while to give you a useful reply. Just so you know I'm not ignoring you ! :) Grant

A few months back, I went to The London Aquarium, which was an interesting and good day out. Without going into too much detail, they have almost all types of fish from around the world, in many different water types. There is also a huge shark tank ( I forget the species name now .. ) and...

I was thinking, now the site seems to be growing faster than ever and pulling in new members across a wide range of places, would it maybe be a good idea to have a 'New Members Forum' , whereby new members can introduce themself, explain a bit about their set-up and location etc. This could...

As the title says, welcome to the AquariumAdvice.com Regional Forum, for members either in the UK, or Ireland. This is the forum to come to if you would like to discuss a particular British or Irish Fish Store ( good or bad ) , British or Irish Aquarium / Fish Enthusiast clubs, both online or...

Hi, Nothing to worry about here as my two ClownLoaches are probably the most thriving fish in my 45 gallon. A day or so ago though, I noticed some really weird, but funny behaviour, the Clowns were clearly enjoying. I had not seen it before and I have kept loaches since I started an aquarium...

Hi, The current deal is that the 11 gallon tank I have is currently housing my Guppy Fry ( about ten of them ) and once they are big enough, some will be transferred to my 45 gallon and some given away / LFS credit etc. I want some idea's on what to do with the tank once not in use. The...

Just noticed, the menu-bar at the bottom has ' Retailer ' spelt as ' Retialer ' ! I know it's small, but I thought you'd wanna know !

Right , here's the situation. 45 gallon FreshWater tank. Two ClownLoaches One Red Tail Black Shark One Pearl Gourami One Gold Gourami Three / Four Guppies One Black Molly One Pleco One Red Dwarf Gourami I'am in need of adding a few more fish to my tank, as it looks bare at the moment with the...

Found on page 4 of the photogallery I beleive !! Enjoy. Or for anyone who can't be bothered, here is an overall view of my new 45 gallon tank ( freshwater ) .

Well, as some of you know, now I have a new, bigger and better tank up and running, my priority with the 11 gallon was to breed guppies. Cutting a long story short, there are now about 10 - 12 small baby guppies in there happily swimming about - after just two days !!!!!! The clear explanation...

Hi, Just an idea, but I was wondering if it'd be worth running a post each month to see which fish / plant AquariumAdvice members would like to see profiles by the specified reviewer / moderator. As a preliminary example, if the top three answers in the post were say ( freshwater ) ClownLoach...

Is it just me here, or does anyone else have a fish that loves to mingle with another specie altogether ??! I just wonder, as I have a Speckled Platy that thinks it's a ClownLoach and can often be seen in the ClownLoaches den, or shoaling around with them ! : )

Hi, Just thought I'd tell everyone on AA.com that I visited the London Aquarium on Saturday and it was a pretty wicked experience ! Without going into too much detail, they have almost all types of fish from around the world, in many different water types. There is also a huge shark tank ( I...

Am having a bit of a nightmare with my guppies recently. Last night while carrying out a water change, I noticed that one of my three guppies, from the top of his head and about a CM down the top of him was black, almost like something had scraped his colour away ?? :evil: Is this a loss of...

By Alex Kirby BBC News Online environment correspondent Coral reefs in several parts of the world are showing tentative signs of recovery after years of damage, scientists say. But they report the pattern is patchy, with improvements in some areas balanced by continued degradation in...

I noticed this morning that my Gold Gourami almost appears to be dirty in a small line across the top of his body. It literally looks like dirt, but it doesn't seem to be affecting him in any way shape or form. I think something similar has been posted on this. What could it be ?

Well, over the weekend, I got my new 45 gallon aquarium and all the bits that came with it ( Filter, Heater, AirStone / Pump , Decor etc ) . I'e decided to delay the growing of live plants for a while longer, until I buy a completely new tank. I had real, real difficulty in getting the filter...

I've chosen a new avatar image, it matches the criteria, yet won't show for some reason. :( I've tried other images as a test that also fit the bill, but all thats displaying is the red cross. Weird ... ???

I've noticed recently that the inside of my glass is starting to obtain a lot of small, but thin browny / yellow patches on it. On rubbing them, they come away easily enough, but my artificial plants and even some of the gravel is turning the same colour. Is it heat from the light giving off...

Was just curious, ( this could also be classed as a follow on from the ' what made you want a frehwater aquarium ' post ) , how many years experience do you have in freshwater fishkeeping & what are your best & worst experiences ? Although I've only been going a short time, the best thing for...

Ok, thought that this would be a bit of fun - basically, voting the one freshwater fish ( you don't necessarily have to have owned / own it ) that you consider you're favourite, for whatever reason/s. My personal favourite fish is one I currently own and thats the Red Tail Shark . I love the...

The most amazing fish I've laid eyes on and hope to keep one day ?! Well, I'm unsure of the scientific name, as when I went back to my local aquarium shop, the little fella had been sold. I'm talking about a CowFish , green in colour and incredible looking ! Does anyone own one ? If so how are...

Pretty much what it says on the tin really, I'm stepping up from an 11.1 gallon tank to a 45. Big move I know, but the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned ! The tank, may eventually be home to marine fish, but for the next year or so, it's staying freshwater. I really want to get this...

In reading the post about peoples Mrs' moaning about fish keeping, then eventually really enjoying it etc, it made me think ... Do enough people realise how fun & satisfiying fish keeping hobby can be ? Personally, I think not. In comparison to other hobbies, it is cheap, fun, satisfiying, a...
