To be honest mate your fish will get way too big for the tank. Plecos, mollies, gouramis and platys are messy fish anyway Like i said mate if you want to try and keep the fish you can do 50% water changes everyday with a good water conditioner and hope the hardier fish survive or take them back...

Get the buckets ready then mate. If u dont kno ur ammonia level you dont know how much water youll need to take out/change. Believe me, and im definatley not the first on here who made the same mistake. Your fish will die in an uncycled tank they are being poisoned by their own waste. so you...

You should return any surviving fish to the store and complete your cycle with ammonia. Your tank will not be diseased, so do not dose any meds. If your tank is as new as I think it is your water will go cloudy for a bit but will clear up in time but keep your filters running. Do you have a...

Most recent pics: Just done a bit of gardening and cleaned off some brown leaves, most of my rocks are covered in diatoms but the co2 is definatley makin a big difference. My plants are going green again and my nitrates seem to be coming down now so i assume the plants...

Finally got some co2, now just hope my plants bounce back.. Thinking of starting over with the 200 plant collection but ill probably wait for the diatoms to settle down. I dont know what im gonna do about algae etc with loaches and an african leaf fish i cant have shrimp or snails, algae eaters...

Thanks for all your comments, still havent managed to get co2 or another row of t5s so with 2x54w t5s and 2x 36w t8s i have alot of plants not doing so well but for £19.99 for 122 plants ill just buy some more when i can afford my upgrades might get the 200 plant deal for a bit more.

Thanks, i searched for over a month for that piece, couldnt just be any old piece lol the guy behind me in the que was p!ssed that i got it. Haha still wasnt cheap £75 but its nice to kno people like it as much as i do :)

He used to be in a tank with rainbow cichlids. Do they fight with their mouths? I know the have little razor teeth at the front of their mouths.. That might explain the white line on top of his nose. Wondering if i missed this when i added him. It did seem a little instantaneous i mean i put him...

Ive had him in a 45gallon for a year hes just been added to my new 100g with 8 bleeding heart tetras and 7 juvenile angel fish (about 1" each) Its just weird how he only got this after i added him. The tetras and angels are fine. The tanks only been running for about 6 or 7 weeks but i...

Nice tank. Ill have to look at gettin some of that stuff to keep me goin till i can get a pressurized system set up. Does it not affect you ph?

What booster and fertz do u use my base is aquasoil with manado gravel both pretty nutrient rich for plants but somethin just isnt working in there. Some plants are doing brilliant others just seem to be rotting. like i say i get my plants unbelivablably cheap so i dont mind replacing the ones...

My african leaf fishes mouth has gone white as you can see I have recently (3days ago) added him to my new tank which i cycled with ammonia over 6 weeks. My parameters are 0.0.30 and my ph is 7.6 and temp is 79° He shares the new tank with 8 bleeding heart tetras and 7 juvenile angel...

Unfortunatley alot of my broad leaf plants are dying. I think i need to get another t5 light unit and co2, as ive only got 2x36w t8s and 2x54w t5s ill get some reflectors ordered asap and have to wait a few weeks to replace the t8s for t5s fortunatley i only paid like £20 for 122 plants so im at...

I kno the header sounds dumb but what i mean is.. My 100g was recently cycled with ammonia and had playsand/aquasoil substrate. I had added plants and was almost ready to put fish in when i had a change of heart and decided to swap to jbl manado substrate so i tore down my tank keeping...

Thanks cant wait till it starts comin on.. I need to get a co2 system set up and move a few rocks back thst are pinning my driftwood down but the end i near.

Hi i just finished pulling the playsand out of my tank and putting in jbl manado ontop of aquasoil. Had only just planted it so had to be taken out and replanted.. Been a big job. Anyways what do you think so far?

Hi, im just cycling my 100g. the rocks need arrangin, the wood still floats and i want a new back drop but hopefully wont be long till i can start planting.

Think it was just a cut or something the white part is much smaller today and scales seem to be repairing around it. Thanks for replying tho mate.

Hey, thanks, its just stayin the same size and it doesnt seem like a fungus just dents inwards and is white. Il have to monitor it over a week. Just frustrating now cuz im cycling a 120g at the minute to put these guys in and ill have to wait if hes still sick

Sorry to bump this but im getting concerned. Any advice guys?

Hey guys leaf fish had this white patch on his nose this yesterday. Ive done a big pwc but just wondering if it looks untoward or if its just an injury. What do you think? its like theres scales missing and the whiteness dents inwards. Also noticed on the roof of his mouth looks...

Thanks for the tip. Ill do that :)

... Thats what i thought. Just ive got the filters running now with filter floss over the intakes cause ive got clumps of soil floatin round. The missus suggested takin out the internal filter so i did which has kicked up all the sand and soil again so being too lazy to do 8 hours of pwcs again...
