Oh pfft anorexia trich depression and the like.. :P I don't know how she dis it but my fish-hating sister kept my nitrate on 0 the whole time! I don't think she realized you only need to change water about twice a week... Can't say I'm sorry! xD

Will do :) been in hos for a month only to come back to see 3 new platies and various presents from the family including some columbian tetras - my favorite!

Hello again all! How's the fish going (not even going to try and read 36 pages of thread!) long time no speak :P

I'm no expert but I imagine it's small particles that are like water dust in the gravel and were moved by the rapid addition and flow of new water. This has happened to a friend before, where there was stuff hiding RIGHT at the bottom and were shaken by water input from a pwc. They should settle...

No not forever, until they are big enough to not get eaten. Of course the bucket is by no means ideal, but I have NOWHERE else to put them and 'im not allowed another single fish item until christmas' -___- they arent eating though?

Haha thanks it was literally the scariest time of my life! 3 days and all are happy in the little bucket :)

Heya! I know its a bit irrelevant but I have a story :) (sorry about my appalling grammar, I wrote it last night on a coach!) Momma had her babies on Saturday! I actually watched them pop out! Awhh <3 I now have 14 little swimmers. I presume about 5 died? Here's what happened: I put momma into...

Unconvincing argument formed.

Jealous! I officially can get myself a large one I'd say a year after uni is over (this is when I see myself getting my own flat) which is 7 years if I do a 3 year course with no gap year!

It makes me sad seeing a bigger tank cheaper than I bought mine for. And getting a new one is not an option till I move out! :(

Awh :) is it just me or do we spell color 'colour' and favorite 'favourite' here in the uk because I keep getting spellchecked! Maybe it's the app that has those settings as it's american..? And also, wth is craigslist? That dosent even have a spellcheck! And everyone always talks about it. Is...

Yeah. It really worries me when I see everyone on here with like 170g and 80g tanks and I am like, how the he'll does that fit anywhere let alone you be able to change the water etc. None of my fish shops have tanks anywhere near that size! What you up to? Sorry- I love chatting :) AA is my...

Wow! What tank?

All good, no signs of disease although I think I may have some harmless roundworm. No major probs but just a bit annoying. What fish do you have?

Sorry my fault I had NO idea what the word ruckus meant! Next time use the word 'kufuffle' - more child friendly!

Oh right I just looked it up! The ruckus (?) was all my fish discovering the pleco pellet which I hid so well the day before! All could find it except the plec! Ironic huh? They love to nibble them! :D

Wait I am so confused! What is ruckus?

Rukus?

Many aquarists view the use of feeder fish as cruel and unnecessary, arguing that once the feeder fish is introduced into a small tank it has no chance to escape, and such a contrived situation cannot be considered “natural” in any meaningful sense. Most predatory species that eat live fish can...

My neon just died! I was so sad. It was trapped as it was dying, and my gouramis were trying to pick at it! Poor thing.. As for a centerpiece, if it isn't too late (I know that they are small) but peacocks are just beautiful! I don't know much else about them, but they have so many colors they...

I was speaking to someone in charge and he was meaning it to sound positive, but he said that they get rid of all their stock (other than the rares like stingrays etc) every week incase of any illness, and bring in whole new batches. He was trying to insure me that they aren't too old or...

Hey all- Almost central Londoner here! I went to the second largest maidenhead for my first stock, all still alive! And the largest maidenhead in the uk is just a half hour away! But I now go to a group of huts filled with exotic fish, including three axolotls! The thing that I don't like about...

Oh my.. I know someone who did a MB degree, and now works full time in pets@home, so no thanks!

We've all been into our LFS and witnessed something truly horrific. The best one I have seen is a little boy walk in with his father. Here is how it went: Dad: please can I buy a nemo fish for my son? Clerk: what are your parameters? Is it cycled? Dad: is it what?! Clerk: well.. What size is...

Urm it's barely a plan yet - 14 and just started GCSE's! Haha
