    Homemade decorations

    New Tropical Tank Setup

    I tried with sand before and without a good wash the water just wouldnt stay clean. As soon as anything touched it there would be a massive cloud all over the tank. If you can i would empty and wash. And once you think its washed, wash it some more. You also wouldnt want all that sand getting in...

    Lost for breed additions

    Im looking at getting a 6 footer later in the year to keep both tanks going for a mix up. As it stands i have tank dividers at the ready in case anything changes. The firemouth and convict went in together and were in the lfs together too. Really dont want to split them if it can be helped...

    Lost for breed additions

    Ive had my tank running for around a year now. Its well established and a very happy tank. But i have a lot of space left for new additions to liven it up. Maybe some top dwellers or some active fish to liven it up or brighten it up. My main setup is a 55uk gallon currently stocked with a blue...

    Blue rams changing

    Isolate and treat for anything?. Ive done a 50% wc since the reading so nitarates may be a bit lower already. Thought the change might put a spring back in her step but no change

    Blue rams changing

    Fins are all intact. Not as big as the males though. No spots or redness or gasping. Shes feeding and swimming around as normal. She has gone a little solo and spends alot of time away from the other fish though

    Blue rams changing

    No ive been watching really closely since i noticed the fading. All the parameters are good. There is some male attention but its not more than a 2 second chase and its done. Ive just found it strange that all fish are doing fine and even the male looks amazing now

    Water care

    Well yeah its possible its never cycled depending on cleaning the filters or changing the filters. Continual water changes slow the cycle. Like previous poster said it could be a total overload of food or waste. If you have continued problems with ammonia i would really consider re homing and...
