Hi Scott, thank you for that, I actually found two of the six yesterday hiding in the plants though I can only see one so will just have to look a little harder. Would it be worth trying with Crystal shrimps as the seem a little bigger than the red cherry ones or would I be just be wasting my...

Hey thanks for answering so swiftly, the shrimps went in Sunday, all gone by Monday, the guppies, loaches and baby mollies mouths are too small so it must be the BN catfish.....oh well they were fed well that evening :-(

Would bristle nose catfish eat cherry red shrimps? Upon advice from my local shop I removed the six mollies from my tank leaving four baby mollies, six guppies, three bristle nose catfish and two clown loaches but all six of the shrimps disappeared in one night, the catfish are approx three...

Carried out a 50% water changed, just letting it settle before testing again :-)

Sounds like a plan, just about to do a 30% change now will keep testing and keeping my fingers crossed, all the fish seem to be smiling even the bristle nose :-)

Will let you know how I get on :-)

Every fortnight then?:-)

Hi I am doing 30% water changes ones every 4 weeks,will be doing one tomorrow and yes have three plants. :-)

Hi, the Guppys have been in the tank five weeks,was cycled for a couple of weeks before that, the first test results were all negative as far as ammonia, nitrate and nitrite, the PH always been high due to Adelaide's poor water. :-)

Hi All I wonder if you wonderful people could look at my test results I've just taken and let me know if there's anything to worry about:- PH. 7.4 Ammonia. 0.25 ppm Nitrite. 0 Nitrate. 20 ppm 70 litre tank with 8 Guppys, 1bristle nose catfish and 5 Cherry Red Shrimps 3 plants been going two...

Update on my new tank, three weeks in four plants looking healthy, eight guppys all happy, PH still a little high but ammonia, nitrites and nitrates all good :-)

I have just realised that the Seaview Aquarium is the one we went to on Anzac and I agree it has a massive selection and always very busy, a beautiful selection of fish too. :-)

350mm long :-)

Funny but the guy we bought him from for $30 was keeping him in a tank half the size of our 300L one and it was full of stuff that gave him very little room, hopefully he will flourish in ours. :-)

HITH/HLLE .....could you elaborate please I am a total novice at this. :-)

Our new Tiger Oscar in the tank at work. :-)

Looking forward to choosing friends for the guppy s, some bottom feeders and I quite like the look of those red cherry shrimps :-)

Yes first tank and so far so good, the guppy s still smiling. You're right that Hilltop is a bit small, well compared to the one on Anzac, but they are friendly and knowledgable which is what I need. I will give the Seaview one a go when it comes to adding to mine in a few weeks time. All I will...

Is that a real roller skate? :-)

Thanks M8 :-)

Thanks Mebbid & Scouser and it sounds like a RCS for me along with the cats......can't wait to get them in, though will of course. Am going to try and get some pics today using my polarising filter :-)

Thanks Mebbid and sad news about the BNs as the seem like fun little fish which probably don't stay little for long which is the problem. I like the sound of the shrimp, can I have one with the cats or not? Maybe a few snails instead. :-)

Hi Scouser and thanks for replying, yes have a couple of plants in, one on a log the other on a broken pot, all from the fishy shop, and after one night the guppies seem to be happy. I do like the idea of the cory cats, definitely don't want any aggression, was thinking a bristle nose too? Or am...

Thanks for that, I won't be so paranoid about the PH .....my five guppies seem pretty happy at the mo, looking forward to adding different species in a few weeks. :-)

G'day to you M8 and nice to know I'm not the only one in Adelaide....and a friend of mine works for Puratap.....never stops ha ha. I've just started with a 'sudo Blue Planet' 70L tank I got off Gumtree and had it running a week, just introduced a couple of plants and five guppies from Hilltop...
