Hi guys , my son has recently got a new 10 gallon and a betta for his room, he begged and begged and said he was ready to do all the work with my guidance of course. So I caved and home came 'Orange' the Betta. I put some small live plants I took from my tank in there and have used the seeded...

Hi everyone , I now have 2 fantail goldfish and a bristlenose pleco. Unfortunately they were living in terrible conditions at my work and weren't wanted anymore. That tank had been set up for years with multiple goldfish that have died being in it and not looked after, the tank being way too...

Can anyone help identify this Pleco? I'm thinking it's a female bristlenose but just wanting to be sure. I've recently rescued a goldfish and this guy from my work , they were living in terrible conditions so I took them and the tank home. This guy is about 4 years old as far as I know could...

Omg I'm so excited after months and months of my GBR pair eating the eggs I see a whole lot of babies following them around! They are so cute and tiny it's amazing to watch them protect the babies from the other fish. I really hope they make it :) I even saw daddy moving them in his mouth and...

Hi everyone, I've just noticed my bristlenose plecos have bred for the first time. I didn't have a breeding log or anything in there so it's a surprise. They picked an interesting spot to lay underneath and sort if I between my piece of goldvine wood. I don't know if they will be ok there or...

Hi everyone, I'm having some problems with black beard algae it's everywhere and covering my plants and driftwood. My tank looks awful :( I'm going to go get some seachem exel tomorrow and see if that helps since cutting down on the lights hasn't done a thing. I've heard about bleaching or...

So I'm really considering putting a tank on Lay-by next pay. I want an upgrade for my babies! I'm using aquasoil in the 41g now but it's way too expensive so I need a cheaper alternative. I've heard so many pros and cons of using black diamond blasting sand. Some say its fine and not too sharp...

So I just went and purchased 5 what Were labelled as pygmy corys to go with my other 3 in the 17.5g. I have a good look in the car and they look like dwarf ottos! How do I know if they are dwarfs and not regular ottos? I don't mind keeping them if they are dwarfs since they should be fine in my...

I would love to get some ideas on what to do with this tank. I was planning on a shell dweller tank but would love some more opinions and to know what you would do with it and stock with ?

I have been trying to figure out what to do with my 12.5g tank that I have empty and just sitting outside. I have the filter for it running in my community aquarium so it should be an instantly cycled tank. I really wanted something different and really fun and interesting to watch and thought...

I've been considering setting up my spare 12.5g tank that used to be in my sons room again. I got the larger 41g community so I could put away all the smaller tanks and just have the one larger tank, but nope they keep finding there way back up and running ;) haha. So this time I wanted to...

I'm trying to decide which to choose I would like a pair of either one to go in my 17.5g with Pygmy corys and guppys. Has any one had any experience with either one that they can share with me ? Or what would be a better choice and why?

Does anyone have experience with one of these and might be able to help me out? Mine eheim classic 350 canister was working great when I first got it which wasn't that long ago. The intake doesn't seem to be sucking as hard as it was before and the out flow was a lot stronger. I cleaned it out...

I've recently in the last few weeks had some of my plants and rocks covered in bba what can I do to get rid of it? I heard that using exel can get rid if it but that it also can melt some plants like vals and I have some in that tank. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

My Betta Dracula isn't doing so well in the community tank and I'm pretty sure it's him that has been taking bites out of my other fishies tails. It could be the sailfin Molly though its most likely Drac. I used a layer of aquasoil topped with fine natural gravel. It's low light as some of...
