Thanks everyone for your help, I dont think betta breeding is for me afterall.. I dont think I could choose which ones deserved to live and die, Id want to keep them all :P You mentioned live bearers.. which breeds of fish would you say are the easiest to breed and keep? Thanks again :)

Hey Im hoping someone can give me a basic guide to breeding bettas? Ive watched some videos on youtube but they make it seem too easy so was hoping to get some proper advice before trying it out. I have a spare tank at the moment, a heater and a sponge filter. The tank is currently empty. I...

Aw :/ I really dont want to return them, them and the corys are my favourites but its going to suck if Those are the only 3 i can have in the tank :/ They seemed to all be ok with each other when there were more plants to hide in.. but then the moss started trapping the tetras.. :S wow they...

Yea I picked it out by hand and in the end took the plant that was causing it out.. I havent put it back in yet but i kept it in a bucket with the tank water incase.. Ive tested my water 2 days apart now one after doing a water change and they were perfect both times!! PH always around 7.5...

I recorded a video the other day you can see better how the moss has grown, ive taken this plant out now and all the ones on the right side of the tank the only one left in there is the one by the thermometer. Im going to put back the tall leafy one because it stops there being such a strong...

I fed my betta's some bloodworms, they were the type that are frozen in cubes.. i cut it so the tank with 3 betta girls got about 3 quarters and Mango got one quarter to himself, although i think the snails ate alot of them too XD But now Mango and 2 of the girls are really fat! Did i feed...

Todays results, (last test 7:30 last night) Is my long tank ready yetttt?? T_T I cant wait much longer XD Also there is less ammo in mangos tank today so i think its safer for him now. Long Tank: PH: 7.5 Ammo: 0 (WHOOOO) Nitrite: 0.3? (looks that pinky colour but realy watered down?) Nitrate...

No, i have some but i havent used any since the cycle seems to have been doing itself, i have live plants and alot of snails in there though (they came on the plants)

ok its definitely been over 24 hours now so here we go! Ammo in mangos tank is too high and today when i got up his fins have torn!! :( is this due to the high ammo or could it be because i put the filter under water and left it on to high? (Ive moved it back to being above the water now and he...

hmm ok, we'll I'll post back tomorrow around the same time as today and hopefully the ammo will be down to 0 and I can go get some fish finally!!! Thanks guys

Ha yea I really hope so :P Really bored of having an empty tank now :P So will ammo always go really high when i do a water change? Is this safe for fish? (Once my tanks are fully cycled how often do you think I will need to do PWC's and how much roughly) Thankyou :)

YAY! What if it doesnt? What do i do?

Hey guys my old thread seems to have gone cold so going to start this new one! (old link here http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/new-tank-possibly-for-cherry-red-shrimp-263215-25.html ) I have had my tanks set up for 9 weeks now and unfortunately I already had my small tank set up with...

Hi guys I cleaned out my tanks about 2 hours ago and I'm testing them now.. the ammo in both tanks seem really high.. could this be caused by putting too much prime in? Or will it take 24 hours+ for the ammo to go down once I've changed the water? (I pretty much changed out all the water) Help...

Hey guys been busy again and forgot about my tanks :angel: I did almost 100% water changes yesterday in the long tank and the vase tank. The long tank is looking amazing at the moment since all the brown tinted water is gone, the vase tank isnt looking as good, the water is clear but the plant...
