I'm just looking for a little advice on what live plants to add to my tank, i have java fern already in there and I also have some java moss being soaked to kill hitchhikers. I know aquascaping is down to the individual but I've been got no design skills (as you'll see from the pics lol) I'm...

My fluval u1 keeps clogging up and all but stopping every few days. All i have to do to correct it is a open the top and pull the sponge a little then it goes instantly back to full power. Its almost like the sponge get sucked down onto the fan or something? Is this a common problem with the u1?

I'm contemplating setting up my spare 2ft tank as a brackish set up but it's completely new territory for me. How much different that freshwater is it to set up and run? Also is it a special kind of salt you add and do the water parameters change atall from the regular? I've got two fw tanks so...

I know this sounds silly but I've spent the last 2 days trying to net a fish out of my tank to rehome it but despite my best efforts the little bugger keeps evading me lol my tank is fully planted with bogwood, ornaments etc and removing all that is out of the question. So I guess I'm just...

I'm starting to cycle an 8g tank for my betta and plan on doing a fishless cycle. I read i can use fish food as an ammonia source so I'm wondering how to go about it. I have flake, prima, algae pellets and high protein feed. Which would be best to use? Also how much do i add?

I've currently got a 36g with community fish in it including a male betta, I'm wanting to get some different more colourful fish but most things have issues with a betta so I'm planning on buying a small tank for my kitchen to re-home it along with some neons. I'm just wondering realistically...

I've got an airstone setup in my new tank but i rarely used it as the sound of the pump is very annoying. I'm just wondering if there are any actual benefits to having it on or is it purely for decoration?

I was doing the rounds this morning and noticed my little lord has developed an orangey mark on its head. Not sure if its a scrape or an infection or maybe just nothing?? Thought id check with you guys for an opinion.

I was just doing my daily tank check and i noticed this on the glass next to the heater. Looks like some kind of spawn but I'm not sure? I didn't think i had anything in my tank that would breed except assassin snails?

Over past few days ive noticed that my male betta keeps laying on a piece of rock I have at the bottom of my tank? Its always the same rock and the betta almost lays horizontal on it and doesn't move. I thought it was dead a few times. Any idea what it could be?

Is it possible that assassins can breed in a normal community tank with no special circumstances? Ive had 2 for the past 5 months and this morning ive noticed 3 baby ones? Is this odd or not really?

For the past few days my pitbull plecs have been burying themselves in the substrate. I've heard this is a sign they are scared?? Nothing has changed in the tank except a replacement light tube yesterday, and the parameters are fine as usual. Anyone got any ideas?
