    Filter suggestions

    To be honest that would be enough filtration except the fact is that you will have 2 internal filters inside the tank that will not only look bad but also take up room that you could be using for plants, rocks and fish swimming space. Also after sumps, canister filters are the best filters for a...

    Fluval's new range of canister filters are simple to maintain and reasonably cheap and the 305 would be enough but the 405 would be great for a 55. Much better then a HOB, and anyway who would want that any way they take up valuable tank space, look unattractive and don't do the job as well...

    quick question; buying fish

    Instead of going on .com sites find .co.uk ones as they will be uk based and trading in pounds. Sorry but can't give any sites as I haven't bought online but hope this helps.

    Unknown tropical fish!

    As you said the fish are happy and you check your levels often. You may be overstocked but if things are fine in the tank and you are doing water changes often then anybody trying to tell you that a fish need x amount of water won't change your opinion which I can understand. I can agree with...

    My 30g bow front tank

    +1 on what flake said especially that type of arrowana it quickly grows into a monster, the 125 might be ok for a few months but you need a serous size tank asap

    dwarf chiclids

    What dwarf cichlid are you looking at and are the fish you have mature or still quite young. 45 seems a little small for a full grown silver dollar IMO but in a bigger tank i can't see any problems. what I'm trying to say is that the fish compatability is not an issue but more the tank size

    Rams???

    I have a whole different collection of fish from arulius barbs to brown pencil fish and 2 rams and although the male likes to think he rules the tank he is actually harmless and seems to be all talk no action. It does depend on the fish you buy but they are usually peaceful overall. The red...

    firemouth

    That's a 17 gal tank and not even big enough for the fire mouth. Also you say you have 2 green terrors in a 35. That is far to small the need a 55-75 as they are very territorial. I'd try to buy a tank of this size and move the green terrors and the larger fire mouth. Into it and the small one...

    Help me stock a 55??

    Hi I've been reading this and I have to agree that the parrot is possibly the worst fish in the world, I just don't get the fascination but maybe that's just me. By the way nice looking tank and the stock list looks great. Just something to consider if your stock list isn't iron clad is the...

    keeping clown loaches and rtbs

    Clown loach grow really slow that's why the bigger ones are so expensive but I'd get him in the bigger tank as soon as poss anyway. Can't say for the red tail though, never had one

    GBR issues

    She eats everything from frozen daphnia to flake and sinking pellets. She just doesn't grow or show any colour. She is the same 1 inch in size as when I got her a month ago and the male has grown by over half an inch since then

    GBR issues

    I bought 2 german blue rams about a month ago and one the male has grown and the colours are really nice in this fish however the female has not grown at all even though she regularly eats. She also has hardly any colour compared to the male, all she has is a little blue in the cheeks. Is this...

    Tank Update / Any Word of Advice

    If I were you I'd leave out one of the tetras and bring up the other schools to 5 as they will feel safe in a group and there personalities will show more. Also to echo the ideas about the plec and the clown loach. The plec will grow very quickly and you will soon have a foot long fish in your...

    How much food?

    Your probably overfeeding if anything if it is taking 5 mins for them to eat it. All food put into the tank should be consumed within 2 - 3 mins and each fish taking on to much food in a short amount of time could inevitably bloat out and die. I am not criticising by the way, I learned about...

    Aquascaping

    Yeah it looks good with plenty of hiding places and areas for fish to swim in open water, a decent layout in all respects

    Small Algae Eater?

    How about otos they stay small and won't harass any of your fish and are ideal for a 29 gal. I have a clown plec but unfortunately he is terrible at eating algae and stays attached to my driftwood most of the time so I wouldn't recommend one of those but not sure about others
