    Betta Buddies

    I agree with the tetras... you could also put a couple of corys in. Maybe a pleco as well... depends on its size I guess

    The plight of the betta continues...

    I was watching TV the other day, and it had MTV "Cribs", where celebrities show off their homes. Anyhooo, some moron sports guy (have no idea who he was but he was filthy rich) was wondering around his house, showing off his wealth and he gets to the kitchen and says "this is the only lady I...

    tightest schooling fish?

    I know you tried tetras, but my glowlight tetras are never apart. I have about 8 and they look great in the tank.

    Breaking in a tank

    Couldn't you take some bacteria from the 70 litre tank? Like moving the gravel / filter etc into the new tank. Maybe someone can suggest if this would work. I have no idea about the actual question you're asking sorry.

    Which veg do your fish like?

    Thanks for the info guys. I dont actually have any 'hunting' fish any more. I have 2 large gourami, one dwarf and one of my clown loaches is huge, the rest are reasonably small fish. They all seem to be pigs when it comes to food though, so just wanted to give them more variety. When I tried...

    Which veg do your fish like?

    This may have already been covered, but wondering if anyone can do a quick list, of what vegetables they feed their fish. I've tried the peeled peas and they love em! I can't get a large variety of foods where I live... I only have dried bloodworms, flakes, tablet thingys and grain stuff (I'm...

    Yum...Driftwood!

    I've got an Albino Long Fin Pleco (had two but one died mysteriously) and he does nothing but swim around, clean EVERTHING in sight and is one of the most active, and gorgeous, of my fishys! The one that died was the same. Everytime I feed the fish, as soon as I open the lid, he comes to the...

    Pregnant Loach

    I have 2 of those loaches, and 4 clown loaches. My clown loaches have started doing the "roll over and play dead" game to freak me out lol. I thought they were weird, but turns out its common behavior. They just lay on their sides sometimes until I run over to the tank in a panic, then they swim...

    algae bloom: 1 me: 0

    I had the same problem a couple of months ago in a 60 gal tank. My main problems were too much light, and same as you, probably overfeeding :oops: The tank was sold to me with too much lighting (lfs had the same bloom in their identical tank), so I reduced the lighting, have it on for about 9...

    Pregnant Loach

    http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?siteid=21&pCatId=1590 OK, I managed to find the species I have, its an Angelicus Botia Loach. The above link mentions that successful breeding in captivity has yet to be recorded!!! (I've also figured out they lay eggs.) I'm thinking that...

    Pregnant Loach

    I noticed the other day that one of my loaches has a big fat tummy. I have two, and am now assuming one is male and one female. I've had the loaches for about 4 months, and all of a sudden one has the rounded stomach. Now, when I bought the loaches, the guy at my lfs said they were Diamond...

    everyones nightmare...algea blooms

    I had the same problem and it took quite a few weeks to completely get rid of it. I reduced the lighting in my tank, (and only left the light on for MAX 8 hrs a day while I was at work), made sure I didn't overfeed the fish and added loads of plants to the tank (they apparently feed off the...

    Redoing tank!

    I have no idea about lava rocks... Regarding something that has dye in it though, I would definately suggest you soak them first - it cant hurt, and you will soon see if the water is changing colour (also wouldn't hurt to test the water parameters after soaking for a while). Maybe someone else...

    Aquarium grass / ground cover

    Thanks Bob, it does. I have to check the lighting in my tank. The setup I bought came with two long fluro bulbs, and after a major algae outbreak, the guy who sold it to me at the lfs admitted the lighting was too strong and to take out a bulb. The plants I have at the moment are doing well, are...

    Aquarium grass / ground cover

    Thanks for your help guys, will see what I can find. I'm actually living in the middle east at the moment and my lfs aren't able to sell aquarium plants anymore... something to do with their trade license only allowing for fish :roll: At the moment I'm going to a dodgy little shop in a crappy...

    Aquarium grass / ground cover

    I was wondering if anyone can tell me how you get grass to grow in the bottom of the tank... i would love some ground cover. The problem is that where I live, it's difficult to get aquarium plants at all. If anyone can suggest any ground cover plants that I could buy from a nursery, that...

    Tiny white worms on glass?? bacteria?

    That's seriously gross!! Maybe you should see a doctor if it wasn't cooked properly. Seafood can be dodgy at the best of times, let alone taking the pet out of someones infested tank :drain:

    Driftwood Curing

    I know I'm a tad late, but i'll throw my two cents in anyway. I recently put 3 pieces of driftwood into my tank, having only soaked them for an hour in hot water. After about 2 weeks and only a 10% water change, the water in the tank was definately brownish / yellowish and just looked stale. I...

    aquarium rantings. :twisted:

    I feel really mean, but that gave me a good giggle... I seem to struggle all the time trying to get things done living in a place like Dubai. I get the usual bad luck, plus the language barrier sometimes... but the 'best' one is whenever you order something, or need something to be done, you get...
