Small 65Ltr. I have 2 daylight 15w interpet energy bulbs. Used to have a moon light and daylight in but I changed it.

Can anyone recommend any good hardy plants for a fresh water aquarium. I have brought one from a very reputable LFS of which may I add cost £4.75 a plant. It's been in my tank 3 day and it's all dropped to bit and the leaves have fallen off. All the other plants I have are around 1- 2 months...

Lol severum mama umm I see your point We are in every sense human

I total agree with you with out an argument that you need to research the species your going to put together due to conflicts and aggression I would advise anyone to think about what type of tank and fish they are going to buy before even getting their tank. But when it comes to how meany...

I think most people have the common sense not to put an 18inch fish in a 20 gal tank. Let's keep it in perspective. Guy was talking community tank. And the calculations work with generally purchased fish not specimen tanks. If you wanted to talk specimen tanks then that's different and IMO any...

The general rule of thumb is 1 inch of fully grown fish per uk gallon of cold and marine water 2 inch of fully grown fish per uk gallon tropical water I.e 55 gal= 55inch(137.5 cm) cold & marine 55 gal= 110 inch(275 cm) tropical FULLY GROWN FISH But remember your tank size may state 55 gal. But...

Although I am not there yet I was wondering how I would know if my baby Platys are ready for the big tank I have 6 of them in a floating nursery tank and are all doing very well Very actively feeding. Am using liqui fry and crushed fish food Is it determined by a specific size or feeding...

I have got my baby platys got the nursing tank in with 6 baby platys looks like she had more babys over night

Checked filter and no baby platy Gutted

I hear what your saying but I kept a RTS in a 30 gal 36"-15"-18" tank for a little over 8 year he grow to about 5.5" and used to chase other fish around but never hurt any of them. I am aware that they can be territorial but this is mostly to other RTS's I am also aware my tank is smaller. This...

Only a small 65lt tank have been cycling with 2x neon tetras and 2 x Platys So my thoughts were Neons Zebras Harlequins Guppies Red-tailed shark 1 only I can go up to 75cm (30in) of fish with it being tropical So I will look at size and numbers when I add new fish over the next few months...

Cool thank I will check

It looked like my tank as finally finished it's fish in cycle Readings for the last 4 days Day 39-43 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10ppm (seeing my water source is 32ppm this is good) Ph7.8 Temp 24c

Got a fry chamber from lfs, but i couldn't find him in the tank when I got back Took the plants and decor out very carefully and am pretty sure he has gone Gutted

I am currently on day 41 of a fish in cycle With the readings I am getting it very close to the end Ammonia 0.10 Nitrites0 Nitrate 10 Ph 7.5 Ammonia drop slightly over night May have even finished I am cycling with 2 Platys about 4 week ago I noticed that there behaviour was a little strange...

Fish in cycling day 37 4 medium sized fish 65lt tropical tank Temp 24c Live plants Ph 7.6 20% water change done on day 33 due to ammonia just over 0.25 I have had a constant ammonia reading of just under 0.25 ( about 0.15) since the water change. nitrites 0 Nitrates 20ppm I have asked my...

Sounds like a plan Keep an eye on your nitrates If your using API test kits like I am make sure you shake the bottle 2 for longer than stated I do mine for about 3 min to ensure the solution is mixed and to get an accurate reading. I wouldn't go over 40ppm if it does do a water change It may...

Sound like your doing good I am currently on Day34 of cycling with fish And same as you was a little impatient. After some reading I found out it can take up to 8-10 weeks to fully cycle a tank With fish. I agree with Eco keep you ammonia levels below 0.25 and Change water accordingly. I...

Been a constant 0.25 on the ammonia levels . No water change require for 3 days. It looks like I may have been a bit premature when I posted about the ammonia increase. Am looking at the levels 2-3 times daily and these are the reading for 8:30pm Ammonia 0.25 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 7-10ppm ish...

Tiger barbs will grow to about 7 cm and will be aggressive to other fish particularly fish with decorative fins like guppys The rule of thumb is 1" of fish to every 1 uk gallon (cold water) 1" of fish to every 0.5 uk gallon (tropical) I.e A 10 gallon tank can hold up to 20" (50 cm) tropical...

I was wondering if the fish Botia Sidthumunki will eat small snails The reason I ask is that it only grows to about 2-3 cm but will mainly eat live food If I get one I will feed him as much live food as required. I have 65lt tank and can't really put something in like clown loaches Coz of...

Yep am in for the duration

My ammonia levels have been constant for the last 3 days, did a water change on day 28 and since then have not gone up or down (maybe very slight variation in colour but not significant amounts) Today reading with no water change since day 28 Day 31 Ammonia 0.25 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10ppm Ph 7.6...

foxRob I would double dose with prime to eliminate the possabilty of chloramine if your unsure you have it in your water.
