The assassins aren't dealing with my rogue snail problem. I was thinking about getting some loaches, the problem now is I don't want my assassins to get harmed. Stupid question I know but would all loaches go for my assasins?

Excellent ?, thank you all so much. My mind is at ease

Caught a glimpse of him today he's tucked away right at the top of a cave. He's alive cause I saw him moving in there. My only concern now is that he comes out of there and eats at some point. He won't starve in there will he?

Thanks everyone, no need to worry then. I'll just give him some time. He's an amazing specimen, can't wait to see him in the tank

Yeah I know the lil guys come out more at night. I think what's throwing me is that I have another plec in the tank that is out and about day and night. Guess each ones different though

Hey guys, I need some advice. I bought a juvenile royal plec yesterday and everything seemed fine as I acclimated him and added him to my tank. The thing that's concerning me is that I haven't seen anything of him since, I mean it's literally like he's disappeared. Would you guys consider that...

I agree, you go girl

Me too, I've got everything crossed for you

? congrats, how long did your cycle take?

Hey guys, my ph is around 7.8 and my nitrates are off the chart. Source water has 20 ppm nitrate

I'm using api master kit, I'm gonna test ph and nitrate and post results tomorrow. To answer your question I haven't dosed every day but every time ammonia has dropped at all I've added more. It's never dropped as low as 1ppm

Hey guys, I'm currently cycling my second tank. I've gone fishless this time. I was given bad advice by the guys at the pet store last time but have since joined this forum and now know better. The tank has been cycling for about 10 days and it's not converting major amounts of ammonia yet...

Cool, thanks. Do the barbs not nip at the angels fins? I was thinking about having barbs but thought they would stress the angels

Hey guys, I have a 200 litre tank with 8 corys and 5 angels. I really like my angels but didn't realise when I got them that they can be quite aggressive and I'm gonna need to be careful what I put in the tank with them. I like fish with a bit of personality. I'm hoping that you guys are gonna...

Does anyone know how I introduce them to the tank?? Do I just do it the same way as adding fish?

Cheers guys, just got 4 assasin snails from my lfs. Gonna see if they keep my little hitchhikers under control

Assasin snails sound like the way to go for me. Are they likely to be inside my filter? My tanks literally just done cycling so I'm a bit nervous about cleaning the filter

Assasin snail???? Sounds intriguing. Tell me more

OMG snails everywhere overnight, guys please give me some options for getting rid. I noticed one on the glass last night and took him out thinking that would be that. This morning I was faced with about six of his buddy's. Guess maybe they formed a search party. How can I stop this situation...

Have you tested your tap water for nitrate?

Cool thanks :) I really wanted to keep some angels but I've been looking into them a bit more and they don't really seem like they're good for a community tank,

Hey everyone, I've just finished cycling my 200 litre tank and would appreciate as many ideas as possible for creating a peaceful but lively community tank. I'm a bit of a novice so you guys ideas would be greatly appreciated. More the merrier Cheers guys

Hi, does anyone know if cloudy water in a cycling tank could mean that the bacteria are actually in the water and have yet to attach themselves to the gravel, filter etc. and if so does that mean that as it clears they have found homes for themselves??
