Check out my new little friend!

Hi guys, I have a new juwel lido 120 & am trying to decide On an aquascape , I have guppies, a Mollie, plattys and cory Dora's to move into it from my 50litre & a thinking of bogwood as a centre piece, a small cave home made from slate etc from the LFS, and for the fist time real plants. Any...

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I agree about the plants, as I said I did want real ones but didn't want to bite off too much in one go, will swap over to real ones in a month or two. Also, quite like the idea of the blue gravel under the bridge to give the effect of a river running under...

Yep that is a fairly big job but not too terrible. Thanks for the advice, I may consider doing that in the new year. Thanks.

Hi LyndaB, do you know of a way to change the substrate without having to move the fish into a new tank, completely empty etc etc? seems like a big job to me.

Thanks very much. I think next time I will use a finer substrate but apart from that I'm pretty pleased with it. Being a newbie I didn't want too much to have to learn about all at once & therefore opted for plastic plants however I realise there are benefits to real plants so will look to...

Thanks

Thanks, I agree it dosnt look all that natural with the bridge & clear stones, when I'm able to upgrade to a big tank I'm going to do a more natural set up. I'm also considering getting another smaller tank for now to set up a SW nano reef which will obviously be a natural set up.

Thank you

Thanks for your replies, Yes the tank is cycled. I'm using a Eheim pickup 2008 internal power filter. I do a 25% change twice a week. All of the fish seem happy enough, and I keep the changes frequent to make sure the bioload remains healthy, would you still suggest re-homing the Molly's? Thanks

My 48 litre tank with 2 guppys, 2 mollies and 3 juhli corys. What do you think? Any suggestions for another addition??

Thanks so much for the advice, welling think I leave the khuli loaches until I can get a decent size tank, and rethink the mollies. I will have a think about the corys and neons and do a little research. Yea, I do need a master test kit, I bought the tetra test strips and they say the same thing...

Sorry, iv not been on here for ages, broke my iPhone & had to wait on arrival of a new one! So, the 22litre tank is no more, the new 50 litre is set up and has my 4 guppys swimming around very happily enjoying the extra space and the current produced by the new power filter. The established...

Hi all, my original 22 litre tank has been running for a month now with 4 guppies living in it for the last 3 weeks, I have nitrites but no nitrates yet, how much longer should this take to be fully established?? Thanks.

Thanks for you're advice. Yes the 22 litre tank has fish in it now, will do a water test later and see what the levels are like. Thanks again.

Ok thanks, in that case I think I will leave them in the small tank and maybe add ammonia or food into the new larger tank to cycle without the fish, I guess that would work??

Brilliant, thank you for the advice. Also, should I add my fish immediately to keep the source of ammonia and the cycle going?? Thanks again

Im fairly new to fish keeping & am looking for some advice. I started out 4 weeks ago with a 22 litre tank & it soon became clear that this was not big enough so I have now ordered a 50 litre tank, I have bought some media for the filter in my new tank & added it to the media in my original 22...
