I have an Aqua 320 which is home to 7 pygmy cories, i would like to have a Betta, but i am not sure if this is a good combination. They are a bit scatty and quick but mainly around the bottom of the tank, occasionally scooting to the top. would this freak a Betta out do you think??

Hi,adding into this question, i have a aqua one 36 litre that holds 7 pygmy corys(named after the 7 dwarfs!!)I would love to have a siamese fighter as my dad used to keep them when i was younger. Would this be a problem alongside the corys, i ask because the corys zip to the surface every now...

thanks, just one question if i put it into a box or muffle it with cotton balls wont that interfere with the amount of air being pulled into the pump? The inlet is on the bottom of the pump covered by a little piece of filter.

Hope this is in the right place! I need to find a pump to run two aeration devices in my tank that isnt noisy and will not drive my other half mad!! i have an air curtain and a mid sized airstone. i currently use a Interpet Aqua Air AP3 Air Pump, but if i connect up both outlets it becomes very...

Ha! dont rely on zebra loaches, mine completly ignore my snail invasion. cant do the lettuce trick as my brislenose's get to the lettuce before ths snails> I am going with the assassin snails idea!!!

I have a question to those that suggested assassin snails, will they go after very small snails? Most of the snails that i have in the tanks are only about 2mm in size, there are just so many of them!!!:ermm:

i have two tube lights that came with the tank, one of them i know is to encourage plant growth,not sure about the other one(has a reddish glow to it?). I feed every second day, a mix of spirulina, flake and algae tablets for the bristlenoses(although all the fish seem to help themselves to...

Thanks Guys Tried the cucumber, the two bristlenoses get there before any other fish gets a look in, let alone the snails!! This applies to any sort of veggie i put in! My lights are on a timer and come 0n at 2pm and go off at 10 pm, is this to long? I do have some hair type algae in my main...

Morning Everyone, OK iI have an ongoing problem in my main and nursery tank, snails! I have done everything I can think of, cutting down food,removing by hand, (I'm to squemish to squissh them!!). In my main tank I have zebra loaches that are totally disintrested in them, my nursery tank only...

Tahl I have a stocking over the input of my filter because I have got some guppy fry in the loose plants at the top of my tank :confused:

I do have a few snails, they came in on some of my plants, one of the reasons I got the zebra loaches. They do seem to do a good job of keeping the snail population down. I am really stumped. I know bristlenoses will get rid of any dead fish but these guppys were all healthy!

please can someone help. I started out with 8 fancy guppies mixed male and female.I have lost four over the last week and i mean lost! I have no bodies and none of them had shown any sign of distress or illness. I have moved the remaining four to my smaller tank and i also have a couple of fry...
