I'm upgrading my tropicals from a 138 litre tank to a 180 litre (40 gallon?) bow front. Currently I have 1 bn pleco 4 albino cories 2 rams (they were sold as German blue but I'm not convinced) 1 pearl gourami. Would like to add a few panda cories too. Would it be possible to add another small...

Hey I desperately need some advice please, So after getting rid of all of the fish (14 cichlids) from our 180(?) litre tank about 3 weeks ago due to needing to sell one of our 3 tanks I then got a shock today. The tank has been left set up since with about 1/4 of the old water in the bottom...

So as I sort of explained in my other post.. My flatmate went to pick me up a new bigger tank today for my tropical fish to go in from a family member, when he got there he called me to say the tank already had cichlids in it, weve always wanted them so decided to take the tank anyway as my...

We've just got this fish with a tank of cichlids that we're taking off of someone an this one has been badly bullied. I wanna know of its safe to put him in with my tropicals till he gets stronger? I have 5 guppies, 5 albino cories, 1 pearl gourami and one bristle nose pleco. Advice please, I...

Hi :) So I'm going on holiday in june and don't know what to do with my 2 fish tanks, got a while to sort things but I like to be prepared. I have a 36 gallon tropical tank and a 33 gallon goldfish tank and getting someone to come and feed them/do water changes isn't really an option. Problem...

sorry but this is going to be a long one :S I've had my little black moor for a while now, hes not had the best start in life, I bought a very small tank a while ago and was told it could house 3 goldfish so I had my black moor in there along with a little ryukin which I bought later on, as...

hi :) I've been trying to decide on a last fish to finish off my tank for a while now and I just cant make a decision so thought you lot could help me decide. Its a 138 litre long (36gallons I think) and currently contains 5 male guppies 5 albino cories 1 female bristlenose pleco 1 pearl...

I posted a while ago asking for external filter suggestions for my tank but not that I have saved up some money I can't find the post again :( so, I need a new filter for my tank, it is 138 litres/36ish gallons I think and contains 5 guppies, 5 albino cories, 1 bristlenose pleco and 1 pearl...

I need to get some new food for my black moor and what we think is a calico ryukin and wanted some opinions on what is best to get :) I've heard hikari is good but there's loads of different types and I'm not sure which one to get :s I want pellets instead of flakes because my black moor used to...

My local pets at home has a tank containing 'assorted rams', has anyone seen these at their local store and can they tell me if they're bolivan rams or german blue? They're small so its hard to tell and I haven't got a picture. They're only about £3.99 each :s

In my 138 litre long I have 5 male guppies, 5 white fin rosy tetra, 3 albino cories and 1 bn pleco. The other day I randomly noticed a big red mark on one of my albino cories side and I can't work out what Is causing it. At first I thought it could be some sort of parasite or something but now...

I currently have a 138 litre (36 gallon I think?) Tropical tank with a interpet pf3 internal filter and also what I think is an interpet pf1 internal filter too. They don't seem to be doing a very good job though so I'm looking at external filters and have no idea where to start. Can anyone...

So I've just moved out of my parents house into my own flat which means now I need to move my 2 fish tanks. A 36 gallon and a 33 gallon :s oh and its a second floor flat! Lol. Meaning 5 small flights of stairs :s I plan on moving the 36 gallon first, problem is, that's the heaviest one...

I had my stocking list for my 138 litre long-36 gallon I think all planned out and now I'm not sure. The tank is cycled with stable levels, has been for a while how ever my tap water levels are a bit rubbish (nitrate was about 40ppm) so I've began gradually using some RO water too to make the...

I was going to get either 2 german blue rams or 2 bolivian rams for my 36 gallon long tank but was just wondering, could I get 1 german blue ram and 1 golden ram instead? Would they fight if I still made sure I got 1 male and 1 female? Would they breed? If I could can someone tell me how to sex...

I've seen these fish at my not so local fish store before and can't think for the life of me what they're called.. They're tiny tropical fish, smaller than neon tetras, more like endler guppy size. They're sort of almost transparent in colour and have a single bright blue dot by their head. Cool...

I posted before about possibly changing from fake to real plants in my 36 gallon but didn't know what light I had or anything about plants. I've just looked and I have 2 of these bulbs - Glo - power glow 24'' 20W. T8 And if it makes a difference they have phillips s2 starters - 4-22w Can...

I bought 5 rosey fin tetra (labelled white fin rosey tetra in some shops) yesterday for my 138 litre community tank containing 5 guppies, 4 albino cories and a bristlenose pleco and acclimatised them for about 45 minutes last night (I don't have a QT tank unfortunately) they were very nervous...

So I bought a little black moor a couple of years ago and about 6 months later I added a little calico goldfish. They were both about 1 inch or so, still very small. Well at the time I had an insanely small tank (14 litres :( - a couple of gallons I think) because I was told that was fine for 4...

So I bought my pearl gourami for my 138 litre tank about 2 weeks ago now, he'd been fine, other than looking a bit lonely the last few days. Well today I did a water change, about 20% using my gravel vac, put the new water back in with added tap safe like usual and checked the temperature...

I bought a pearl gourami just over a week ago to add to my 138 litre community tank.for the first week he seemed very happy, playing with his own reflection and seemed to be colouring up nicely but the last few days he looks lonely and miserable, just on his own looking out the corner of the...

There's a shop near me and everytime I go in there I am absolutely disgusted. There's always soooo many dead fish which have clearly been there for ages, everything has ich and fungal diseases and yesterday I saw 3 pretty large black ghost knife fish squashed into the same tank which wasn't...

I thought I had my stocking list sorted for my 138 litre tank (its almost 3ft long + cycled) but now I'm worrying about some things. I currently only have - 5 male guppies (possibly going because they're fighting and need some females) 2 albino cories 1 female bristlenose pleco (about 4/5...
