Can anyone help my ID the fish in the below photos please? I know it may be difficult because they're all mixed in, but any help is greatly appreciated!

I picked up a 205 today for a good price and I've got it plugged in etc and its all running well, apart from a leak. I know where the leak is coming from, its the part where the top and bottom join, so far I have tried removing and re installing all media baskets and also greasing the gasket...

I noticed tonight my betta is looking terrible, he hasn't been himself recently, i lost a handful of fish to Ich last weekend and i don't know what up with him, his fins are terrible, all torn looking. The tank is more or less 30'c to help combat the Ich and the parameters are NH3 - 0, NO2 - 0...

I have the following in my canister filter, i think it's in the right order :lol: Bottom tray is wool and ceramic (full) Middle tray is bio balls and wool (full) Top tray is wool and carbon. (full) I am going to remove the carbon from my top tray today and replace it with Purigen, however...

I have a few gouramis in my tank and one of them i noticed this morning was look a little peachy, staying at the top of the tank (not gasping) and generally keeping out of everyones way. Upon closer inspection i've noticed that one of her 'feelers' (?) and fins are torn to shreds and very red...

I done my first vacuum and w/c yesterday on my sand based tank, in the pleco's cave was a number of jobbies... I tried to vacuum them, but i couldn't get them without a load of sand. What's peoples method to vacuuming sand based tanks?

I think my cycle completed today, and i'd like to know what to do moving forward to ensure my BB stays alive over the festive period... Tests went from this last night: To this tonight: Would you say my tank is now cycled and if so how much ammonia should i add daily to make sure my...

Ok, i need to ask all you guys with big tanks, how do you do your w/c's. I currently do mine using buckets but my current tank is only 64l, i am in the process of cycling a 55g (fishless) and will need to do a huge water change once done. I am thinking about doing the big waterchange like...

It seems like half my aquarium's water is almost still, please see the below video. I am wondering if i should add a powerhead, and if so which ones are very quiet? I need one to suit 215l so around 1200lph i think? Water circulation. - YouTube Thanks :)

I've dosed my new tank to 4.0 PPM ammonia and i've been checking the water waiting for it to drop, it's been 5 days and remains exactly the same, is this normal? I have not used any mature media or substrate, all brand new. Thanks. William.

I have an aqua one 980, 215l (56g) and the filter is driving me bananas, i have not started my fishless cycle yet, so before i start i think i'm going to get a new filter as this one is inhibiting me sleeping. The filter has to be more or less silent, now these are the choices i have Fluval...

Hi guys, I'm looking to subscribe to a magazine and this tank comes along with the subscription. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Betta-Cube-Mini-nano-aquarium/dp/B009MZ52ZC I currently have a betta in my community tank and i'm wondering if i could put him in here, therefore allowing me to have other...

Hi guys, I'm doing a build at the moment and want it to look as natural as possible. I have a substrate of sand and several silk plants on the way (i'm terrified of snails so real plants are out of the question). My plan is to simply go down to the local river (stream) and get some nice...

I've had a 64l tank for a few months but been hit with a bad case of MTS, so i've just had to get another tank to appease it. I found this 215l (55g) tank for sale local and picked it up, this thread will be a diary i guess of my progress as i prepare and (fishless) cycle the tank, i've opted...

Hi guys, i need some heater advice as i am getting different suggestions everywhere i look. I have a 215l tank that i am in the process of setting up, it doesn't have any water yet, i need to get [a] heater[s] for it but i don't know what route to go down. I've read all sorts that 1 heater is...

Just wondering what species of pleco you guys think this is, I'm thinking gold spot common. Thanks guys.

hi guys, i currently have a 64l tank and i'm buying a second hand 215l tank today, which will get set up in time. So i'm after some advice, i more or less understand the cycling process which is a start but i'm after some heater/filter advice :) So that tank is this one, an Aqua one 980. It...

My tank water has went misty recently, any ideas why and what this is? VID_20131007_114944.mp4 - YouTube

I'm cycling a new tank and i've just noticed this peculiar looking thing. In the tank there has previously been 3 german rams (dead), 3 mollies and a pleco. I think they are pleco eggs but i am not sure. What do you think, i need advice too...

I'm looking to upgrade the filter on my new 64 litre tank. i'm looking at Canister filters as they are apparently quieter and more efficient. I've seen this one Jebao 403 One Touch External Aquarium Fish Tank Canister Filter System 1200 LPH | eBay Would it be suitable? And if not could i have...

I've just tested my water for the first time, the tank has had fish in it for 5 days now, and these are the test results, the water is really cloudy as well, i'm thinking the filter that it was provided with might not be good enough? Anyway, what do you think?

Hi guys, nice site you have here. I've recently gotten into fish keeping having bought a 65litre Aquarium. I let it sit for a week before adding any fish. I went to a local fish store and was recommended Mollies and Blue German Rams, i also bought a pleco. Having read up on this i can see...
