Hi guys just after quick bit of advice. I bought Ada 60f and I was unsure what would be a good light. In my mind at this stage I would be planting it with a HC carpet and unsure what else. I would prefer led. And if you are Australian be even better cause a lot of the stuff available in...

Hi guys, I'm in the midst of designing a aquarium for my showroom at work and was going to do display tank with sump etc. But someone gave me the idea of custom making a biocube style tank with filter behind the display. My idea was 36x24x20 tank would doing it biocube style have any benefit...

Hi I'm a returning hobbyist and have decided to do a 150 litre tank(+ sump unsure on size yet) in my showroom next year. In the past I've only really fowlr tanks but hope to make some head way into some easy corals eventually. I started writing out the few fish I would like to keep and was...

Hey guys, I'm just wondering what stores the few Australians on here frequent. My lfs is amazing but thought I should branch out and see what else other places have in way of stock. So any suggestions would be amazing Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Helloo, I recently just got my tank back on track after a nasty parasite pretty much killed all of my fish. My question is what should I restock with. Fish has to be shrimp and plant friendly and besides that I'm pretty open to anything. What I'm thinking so far: -10x neon tetras ( who would...

Hi guys I just did a massive over haul of my 35g as I was unhappy with the jungle/messy look. And I also had lots of "easy" plants. I'm pretty happy with my hardscape now and am just after advice on what plants should add too fill in. I'm ideally looking to fill in the back portion of my tank...

Hi thought I would show off my new project. 5g betta tank planted with all crypts. I recently had a emergency tank breakage so had to throw something together quickly. Only thing I need to change is. I want to get a aquaclear hob filter so I can get rid of the internal. Excuse the cloudy...

Hey guys, I've been planning a nano shrimp tank for a while but I'm forcing myself to close down another tank before I start it. So my question is will my betta get along and be friends with 5x pacific blue eye rainbows and 10x neons. They would be together in a heavily planted 35g tank with...

Hi sorry wasn't sure which forum to use for topic but figured the plant guys would know best :) I've been treating some bad bba in my tank on one side with excel squirted directly onto it. And was curious how much per clump is needed to kill it and how long before that clump should die off...

Hi guys, I've been having a rethink of my planted tank and decided to start the stocking over again. I'm going to be rehoming my rasboras and cockatoo apisto and looking at starting a shrimp colony. What is some fish you would recommend? I like the idea of small shoal of fish. What I will be...

Hey everyone thought I would show off my new acquisition. He is very tiny, smaller than my female, but doesn't seem camera shy at all. This photo is after he had been in the tank for about 30 mins. Hope you enjoy

Hey guys my lfs has a pair of these guys in and I asked for them to be held so I can find out some info on them. They don't know a great deal about them either. They were given to them under the name: Apisto gramma sp. "neon head" It's not the best photo but basically the entire head has a...

Hey guys, About a week ago my cockatoo apisto came down ill. I noticed a clear lump near his gill the day after a water change. And then the next day again his gill was flaired up and he has very deep labored breathing. So I took some photos to my lfs and asked if it was gill flukes. They said...

Hi guys, My cockatoo apistos I believe have laid some eggs. I noticed 2 days ago the female was guarding a rock and now I can see small dots underneath it. I would take a picture but it's hard to focus with hair grass in front of the cave. So my question, do I need to do anything to help raise...

Heya guys, My amazon sword has been on a major growth spurt since I added diy co2. It now has a super long branch/stem poking out of the water and another mini plant growing from that. Is this a whole new plant? Do I cut it off and plant it? Thanks for any help. Picture included so can see...

Rescaped my 35g and finally got rid of most of my algae problem. Plants are looking healthier and bright with diy co2. Planning on getting pressurized very shortly. Enough of chit chat onto some photos

Hey guys, So I have a question regarding diy co2. Basically I made mine a few days ago and it seems to be a good formula and I was told to undo my coke bottle lid at night. But when I start, my mixture begins to squirt everywhere. Is this normal? I think maybe it may be due to the water level...

Hey guys, this last week I have had a break out of brown fuzz all over my plants and some of my substrate. I'm familiar with diatom outbreaks but this tank has been cycled for atleast 5 weeks now. My thoughts were diatoms were within first stages of cycling.... The fuzz comes of rather easily...

Hey guys, Found my praecox rainbow at the top of the tank today with a grossly swollen belly and barely holding onto life. So I had to euthanize her. I then decided on closely examining my other fish. Everyone looks fine but I noticed my male cockatoo apisto has a rather large belly. Keep in...

Hey guys, I found a mystery stem in some plants I bought ages ago. Stem was tiny but u thought I would just throw it in my substrate. Fast forward a few weeks and it has grown and went a bit brown but now a second has sprouted next to it. I provided a pic but my light makes it rather yellow and...
