Hey guys, I have just bought a plant (Limnophila) and would like some advice about keeping it alive in my tropical aquarium. I'm not looking to have a co2 system or a special substrate, I understand I'm not making this easy. I currently have a sand substrate that this (for now) single plant is...

My sister has a 35L tropical tank and has a massive problem with algae (see pic). I remove it and it comes back really quickly. Is there anything I can do to keep it at bay?

Here's my tank as it is at the moment. The Fish in it are not being kept though. I'm thinking some tall plants behind the rocks and maybe a picture background. Can anyone help with plants, stocking or any other ideas? Cheers Matt Che

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of moving house to a place with no carpets. I have to take my carpets up tonight and they are getting laid tomorrow afternoon in the new house, hence why I can't just move my tank. I have a friends tank where I can keep my fish tonight. My question is, if I take water...

My sister bought a goldfish bowl yesterday. After setting it up and spending the night with it in her bedroom, she decided the under gravel filter is too noisy. So, she's asked me if she can run it without the filter, to which I've answered yes, but you will have to do more water changes. But...

My little sister is looking to get a smallish tank for her room and looking to house a male betta. The tank she's looking at doesn't have a light, would this be a problem for the betta. I understand if she wants a live plant that will require a light. She may have a spare desk lamp if that's any...

Here is a pic of my shell dweller tank at present. It is a 60L Elite tank and has been set up for sometime now. It's inhabitants at present are 4 platies and 4 danios. I recently removed the decor I had and replaced it with the 2 rocks there now. Looking a little bare at the moment but will be...

I have been looking at lots of different types of LEDS on eBay. With very ranging prices. Can anyone recommend a type of LED and how good are just the strips. A link to ebay / online shop would be great too for comparison. I'm currently setting up a 100L. It does have a strip light in there at...

I'm going to be setting up a 60L shell dweller tank and was wondering what would be the best clean up crew for keeping the sand turned and general cleaning?

Hi Im from England and have been keeping fish for some 5 years now. Despite keeping fish for 5 years I have mainly stuck to the regular 'Pets at home' type fish but am now branching out to some shell dwellers in a 60L tank and some Malawi Cichlids in a 120L!! Wish me Luck! :)

Hi guys, as my first post on here thought I'd ask for some advice on shell dwelling cichlids. I have a 60L tank running at the moment with a few platys in it but I want to set it up as a shell dwellers tank. Can anyone offer any tips / advice when setting up such a tank? I have a sand substrate...
