Okay, around a week ago I bought 3 kribs. One male and two female. I decided to change my tank and go for more of a cichlid theme. Anyways one of the females and a male have claimed a hole side of the tank. They're colouring is amazing and the female has a very red underbelly. The male defends...

So in America, you guys have websites where you can order fish from. ( daves rare fish, aqua bid , live Aquaria) just wondering if the uk has any good online fish shops which have a wide range of fish?

The more and more I read about these fish, the more I want them! My water is nearly perfect for them. PH 7.8 and hard water. But I want to know, are they hard to look after? I have a ten gallon tank currently. How many adults could this tank sustain. I'm trying to breed different dwarf cichlids...

Hoping I'm not the only one. Would love to see your apisto's and tanks! Would be nice to discuss what shops you buy from and what not.

I was hungry so i went to go get a late night snack. And on my way to the kitchen I stopped by my tank. I looked at the cambomba ( pretty sure I spelt it wrong) and the tops of the stems had all closed up? They were fine the next morning I'm guessing they just do it at night. Does anyone know...

Doing a check on my ten gallon (no fish) and this was on the sucky thing for my heater. Any clues what it is?

So since I had that spike a month or two ago, I've been doing lots of water changes. Around 4 a week. I add ammonia remover per water change. What I'm worried about is the fact my tank might need to cycle. So I'm removing the ammonia which is preventing the cycle? Do you guys think I should stop...

The tank finally got me... At around 6am our electricity went. I didn't know that the filters would stop working but they did. 14 hours after the filters switched off I went to do a water change and realised that they had stopped working. I saved one of the filters but the other one has gone...

Finally, after A LOT of persuading, I got another fish tank! My school had one lying around and I offered to take it. This tank will need some work. I have a spare filter and I will need to buy new lighting, and possibly a heater. The tank needs re sealing. What do I use to do that? I'll get...

For my birthday ( in November. But I plan early!) I would like to make the jump to canister filter. Are they easy to set up and maintain? And I wouldn't have to drill any holes in the tank right? I've heard good things about fluval canister filters. What one would you suggest for a 33g? I was...

Since I literally live about two minutes away from a beach, I thought it would be a good idea to check out the fish. I went to the beach last summer and I always find this goby looking fish. I have the whole weekend to study them and try and identify them. I live in the uk by the way, so the sea...

I noticed that around 4-6 of my school of about 10 rummy noses have this weird thing on their head? It sort of shines and dents in on their heads. I have no idea what it is and I can't take a picture because it's late. Anyone know what I mean or how to treat it? Sorry for the lack of info, will...

As you guys know, I'm getting some apisto's in the next month or two. I would really like a nicely planted tank. At my tank has around six different types of plants but I feel I need more! I would preferably like 4-5 more plants. 2 to be slow growing plants, and 3 to be big bushy plants! I might...

Got any dwarf cichlids worthy of sharing? Pretty sure there's lots of people wanting to see them beauties! Please include dietary requirements, age, tank size, tank mates and if they have had any spawns, please also mention tank parameters. I will take my turn when my lovely apisto's arrive :)

As the title says, I have extremely high parameters. The nitrAte reads 5ppm, so that's okay. Nitrite reads 2-5ppm! And ammonia reads 8ppm. I brought the wrong product and ended up getting ammonia lock. So it detoxifies ammonia but doesn't get rid of it. I am doing 50-75% water changes daily for...

Hi everyone! I am getting a pair (possibly trio) of apistogramma agassizi for my 30g. I would like to know any info possible on them :) obviously I would do my own research too but I need to know what they like, foods, breeding conditions. I have £150 which I can potentially use to pimp out the...

Okay... Right now I'm experiencing real issues after I did a big clean on my tank. Lost a tetra, amano shrimp, and a balloon Molly. My stock is in ruins so I need help! I won't be buying ANY fish tomorrow, just plants, new light fittings and a heater. I feel I'm going to loose more stock...

Hi guys! You might remember me if you were around these parts a few months ago. I'm so sorry that I left and I regret I ever did. I had given up! Since I was last here a lot happened. I Los interest and my tank didn't look so good. I've done some improvements and ill be running to the fish shop...

Okay hi guys, my planted tank looks probably rubbish compared to some of yours but here it goes. These are the plants I have: Java fern, crypt, dwarf hair grass, anubias, limnophila sessiliflora? And pogostemon helferi? All opinions welcome. I'll upload pictures in a minute with a different camera.

Hi guys! This is my first post on this category! Woo! Anyways I'm looking for a good carpet for my 30g tank. I have two t8 bulbs? Is that any help? Anything which will grow in medium light and also won't require ferts. Levels are good 0 a 0nitrite and 5 trate. 27c

Finally! My panda cories spawned! I have found a baby around 1cm. I haven't seen anymore yet but I'm really pleased. Is there any special care for it?

Yesterday came my little and very cute black Venezuela Cories. They're only 1.5cm so very little. There 3 of them and theyre settling in very well.

This weekend I will hopefully be getting 3-4 Venezuela black corydoras at the weekend! So excited.

Had a really good offer on these Cories. There's barely any information online about them. I've found a bit but anything on breeding would be so so so helpful. :) thank you.

Ive done lots of research online, but I was wondering if anyone who has ever bred these would give me advice? I'm not sure if mine are male or female as they are two young. They live in a 30g with the following levels: 0ppm ammonia 0ppm nitrite 5ppm nitrate 7.5pH and a temp of 25c.
