I've got a 21.6L tank with a 25W heater... The heater is constantly on but the temp doesn't seem to go above 24.5 when I need 26. I thought a 25W heater should do anything up to 25L? I live in Eastern Australia, winters are cold, summers are hot. It's winter now, the temp in my room can...

Hey. Fishless cycle in a 21.6 litre tank with a filter and heater. This stuff started growing less than 12 hours after I put in the ammonia. Using Ammonchlor. Water: Week one ~ Ammonia 4-5ppm, Nitrite 0ppm Week two (now) ~ Ammonia 4-5ppm, Nitrite 1.0ppm, PH 7.4, Temp. 25.6 It appears to be...

How long are the silk plastic plants meant to last? Do you think they'd leech toxins into the water or something similar? One of my fake plants has a hard leaf that's a different colour from the rest so I cut it off... They also stink, they smell like seaweed and a creek... Cheers

Before you worry about the fish, don't, there is no fish. I broke a mercury filled thermometer and the silver globs went all over my desk, and possibly carpet. A piece flew into the fish tank.

I had a quick search in the forums but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, I'll make this as quick as possible without too much boring reading. - I have a 5g tank with a heater, and a filter that sits above the water in a bar-shape form. - I kept a betta, that just died. I'm not yet...

I have a 21 litre tank with a filter and heater, yesterday my fish was alive, today I look in and he was dead. =(. I've had him for about 6 months, what could have caused this sudden death? He was living in way better conditions then most pet bettas. When I found him he was floating halfway in...

I have a freshwater aquarium (5g) with one betta fish, with a filter and heater... The heater is supported in the water by rubber suction cups, both cups are submerged. The outside of these cups are covered perfectly with white/cloudy/furry looking stuff. It is very slimy. It is only on the two...

Planaria. I've always seen a few floating around my freshwater Betta 5g tank, and I've seen him eat a few occasionally... But recently I emptied the tank because it was leaking. And I also decided to change the gravel to something new and exciting. So I cleaned the gravel, put it in, filled...

Hello, I'll sum this up as much as possible. I own a 5g/20L freshwater tank with a filter, heater and lid. It houses one Betta fish, and the temp is constantly around 26C. Last week I walked into the room and discovered a pool of water coming out the front of the tank, I had lost a good inch...
