He's not often out. Most of the time you see him standing at the entrance of one of his many caves just wafting his fans for food, but tonight he's been sat on the thermometer for hours. I love it when I see him out :)

Over the months, due to water changes and vacuuming, my aquarium sand is thin in places. I'm wanting to add more but how do I do this? Do I keep the fish in? I don't have another tank to move them into. Any suggestions? Thanks

Recently came into possession of one of these, however I only have the canister. It was at the back of my aunties shed, and it was my uncles. He must have taken the pipes etc as salvage. I took it home to see it it would work, just by switching it on a second. It wouldn't come on. So I'm...

Is it normal for a male platy to reside in a cave? I've never seen it before.

What can I do. Water levels are as the should be, lights not always on? Suggestions?

Be just noticed but one of my tetra have developed a dark tip on it's dorsal fin and it's become very territorial to a cave. Any ideas on what's going on? He's only territorial to the other neons.

Ll water perimeters are as they should be, but the water is still cloudy, white cloudy. The fish are fed once every three days, and I'm not overstocked, it actually looks quite empty. I have a 160 litre tank with two balloon mollies, 2 red honey gouramis, 2 platys, 10 neons. When I increase...

If I was to completely rearrange my tank decor, would the fish be ok in a bucket till I've finished?

Please help, all of my neons have become really pale, so much so that they are quite literally clear with faint red and blue lines. I found one dead the other day, completely white. They've started staying quite still at the bottom of the tank. I have a few pictures.

My water parameters are fine and my tank isn't over stocked, but since doing a pwc this morning, with treated water etc like I normally do, the fish are all swimming at the surface and the water appears to be a little cloudy. Any ideas? Thank you

Think my fish have ich. Just found it now on the platys tail fin and the neon tetras tail fin. Is there a non-chemical way of getting rid as I have an armoured shrimp? Please help.

Hi, can anybody help me? I'm overrun with snails at the moment, and the assassin snails just aren't enough to help rid my tank of them, so is there a type of loach that would best suit my tank? I have a 160 litre tank (35 gallon I think) and its a planted, community. I understand that many...

M thinking about getting Malawi, but do they have specific requirements, ie tank mates?

Have a 160 litre tank and now have a Betta splenden, 10 neons and two balloon mollies. What fish should I get next?

The male balloon Molly never leaves her alone, follows her everywhere. She's as round as a table tennis ball and so it got me thinking, is she pregnant? Here are some pics... If so, when do I put her in the breeding net? I don't want her in too long.

I have a 160 litre tank, and the water is perfect, ie ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels where they should be. The problem is, the fish are all at the top trying to breathe the air? I've carried out two water changes and still nothing. The tank is planted if that helps. Do I need an oxygen...

I'm not sure if I want to start a marine tank, mainly because I'm clueless about it, and have just started tropical tanks. But, when the time does come, where do I begin? Does it share the basics of freshwater, or is it completely different?

Have a 160 litre tank, with; - two bumblebee gobies - two balloon mollies - two platys - five neon tetras - a red tailed shark - a Betta splenden - a yomato shrimp The tank is planted with plenty of what I believe to be coral rock? Fine substrate also. The tank has two external filters and is...

I have two gobies, two otocinclus ( dont know sexes, but one was bigger before it died this morning ), two balloon mollies ( boy and girl ) two platys ( both girls ) five neon tetras and a shrimp ( there were two before one vanished, guess died ). There are also some snails that came in on the...

The only fish that are in my tank at the moment are two female platys, two balloon mollies, one male and one female, two otocinclus, I think ones male and the other female, a shoal of neon tetras and a yomato shrimp ( there were two but ones gone ) and two bumble bee gobies. There are some...
