Seems to be a lot of Americans on this site, so I want to interact with some people from the UK. Your experiences, LFS stories etc. So fellow Englishmen, feel free to post here whenever!

So I had a blue Platy with fin rot about 3 weeks ago, and it died 2 days ago, I've now noticed my male guppy seems shy and hanging around in on of the corners alone when normally it's out swimming around, also there looks to be a small bit of fin rot on it's tail. What do I do?:( will he die...

So I'm either getting a new tank or ill be changing my substrate in my existing tank to sand! So I've seen people recommend swimming pool filter sand so I've done some looking! I've found this... Do you experts think this is okay? Thanks

I really want a bigger tank, I saw this on Gumtree (UK equivalent to Craig's list) and the current owner doesn't know the capacity of it, does anyone have any idea?:/ sorry I know it's probably hard to tell. Comes with Pump, Heater, filter and lots of accessories. In the description it says it's...

Hey guys, So I really want to make the switch from gravel to sand, I've read some threads on here about making the switch but still have unanswered questions. Will making the change effect the Levels of my water (pH, Ammonia etc)? Will changing to sand effect my filter, would I need a different...

I'm not even sure if this is possible, but I found this and it looks amazing! I'd love one of these!

So I've recently started to get some algae and I want something like a pleco. What do you recommend? I don't want anything expensive. I have a community tank with guppy, Platy, Rummynose tetra and guppy fry In a net. Can you attach some pics of what you have? Thanks

Just got a message from someone I know who works at a LFS and they have some purple fire fish in? I've never heard of them but apparently they're very rare, he sent me these pictures, what you guys think?

All 13 fry still alive, swimming about looking healthy. All have grown. I have started feeding them 3 times a day on ground flakes, I've ordered some BBS which should be here in the next couple days so I'm really hoping this will boost their growth! All of them seem to be enjoying the flakes...

Hi readers, It's now been 2 days since my guppy gave birth. I've counted and counted and I'm am pretty sure I have 13. None have died as of yet (fingers crossed none will). i've been feeding them ground flakes 3 times a day however I will be getting either Brine Shrimp or MicroWorms as soon as...

So everyday ill do an update on my fry, how many I have, and everything about how they're doing, with picture updates every day. I want as many as you to follow my journey! This is the first time I've ever had a fish give birth so I want to learn as much as I can! This is day one, I have counted...

Woke up to 7 new guppies! I've never bred before, so anything I should do? Thanks!

I came home to find my tank kind of disturbed! My 2 guppies were at the top in one corner the other guppy was in another corner, my rummy nose tetras were at the bottom and my 2 blue Platies were separate (they're always together), none of them were really swimming anywhere, they were all just...

So I'm pretty sure she's pregnant, but I have no clue how long she has been or how long left she has of her pregnancy, can anyone determine this? Thanks

I've always used gravel and currently have gravel in my tank now however using sand really appeals to me. Does anyone use sand or gravel and what's your opinions on it? The pros and cons? Also is play sand suitable if I decided to use sand? Thanks!

So I have 1 make and 2 female guppy, 1 of which I think is pregnant, I've ordered a fry net, but when do I put her I'm there? How do I know when she's going to have the fry? What do fry look like? I'm new to this so any help would be appreciated? Thanks!

As some may know from my previous feed I may have a pregnant guppy on my hands. To be on the safe side I want to get a breeding trap. Amazon sell them , 2 I found both have excellent and terrible reviews about them! Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

Does anyone know what the signs are if a guppy is pregnant? Thanks

So I went to my LFS today to get some stock, and when paying I was told to not feed the fish for about 4 days, this sounds strange to me, and wasn't to sure why, I agreed and left the store with my stock, so I was wondering do I feed them or do I wait 4 days? They do look hungry and they are...

Just went to my local fish store and picked up some new additions! Got 5 5 rummynose tetras 2 female guppys 1 male guppy 2 blue plattys

I'm thinking about going to get some Opaline Gourami tomorrow, I've done some research and people say they are aggressive, is this true, I have a 60L community tank, if it's going to disturb and bully the other fish ill go for something else. Would be grateful for any advice!
