Hey guys As you can see in the pic, currently got the cannister returning via a spout. Situated at the top left pointed towards the front centre (tank is a vision 260 bow front). Noticed some buildup in the bottom left side so have ordered a Hydor Koralia 3200 to help. Can anyone advise the...

Hey guys So the community have moved to the Vision 260 and after thinking of converting the trigon to marine, it’s not excited me as much as I’d hoped so think I’m going to stick with fresh... that’s where you guys come in... what do I use it for? Ideally don’t want anything too aggressive but...

Hi guys Quick question: how many angelfish (species only tank) would be okay in a trigon 190 (bow front corner tank 190 litre)? Thanks

Hey So I’ve moved the community to the new Vision 260 and they’re loving it... all showing colours, eating, and exploring!!! Gonna add some more corys, maybe some pals for the rummynose as watching the school integrate would be pretty cool with the Rainbows. The plan was to start a FOWLR in...

Hi I’ve got a Betta 1620 external/canister filter, which is a great bit of kit btw. Just bought a bigger tank and need more hose and pipes but can’t find anywhere that sells them separately. Anyone any idea? Uk based Thanks

Hi guys So I've decided to take the step into saltwater- am collecting a Vision 260 (57g) this weekend to transfer my freshwater setup into and will then convert the Trigon 190 (41g) for saltwater once they're settled. Any/all advice more than welcome !!! Been researching for a couple of...

Hi guys, hoping you might be able to help with a bit of advice and wisdom. I’ll try and keep it brief. There’s a video too if you make it to the end. Used to have a fake croc head and about 8 months ago, John my big rainbow lodged himself between the teeth when he was having a dart around...

Hi guys Bought a betta 1620 canister filter a while back and it's great. Came with this skimmer attachment but I can't set it up for the life of me!!! In the pic is how I assume it should be, but I constantly find it completely submerged. There's no danger of any fish getting in it but defeats...

Anyone got any idea why the rainbow's so territorial over the cucumber?!! And what's that rubbing up to it all about? He always does this with cucumber!!! https://youtu.be/wgjGeRot_tU

Hey guys Have finally found some plants that don't get nibbled or uprooted. Bought them as part of a batch but the supplier isn't much help. I want to get some more now that I know they won't be eaten but need help identifying please? Thanks in advance

So I added 6x Boesemani Rainbows (4x f, 2x m) to join the older one. Stocks now at:- 1x peppered Cory, 1x blue spotted Cory, 1x bristlenose pleco (hiding as always), 1x angel, 1x rummy nose tetra, 7x cherry barbs (3x m, 4x f) It's a Juwel Trigon 190 running a Betta 1620 external...

Hey all Never seen anything like this before (apologies for pic quality) but is this weirdly long poo normal... Longest I've ever seen is about 10mm but this is like 50mm!!! He has been a bit stressy lately, chasing smaller fish and seemingly getting horny and possessive with a female cherry...

Hey guys I've got a trigon 190 and have tried a few different ideas to aquascape but it still feels like it's missing something. Will try and get some pics when I can but essentially its:- black and normal colour sand mix few pieces of driftwood and a plant pot on it's side various plants in...

Loving the ADF's in the community tank, two fatties and two skinnies. Though I'd lost a skinny last week, kept checking all angles for two days and could only find three. The he was back. Then he was gone again. Then he was back... You get the idea. Couldn't find him again today so randomly...

My cherry barbs have started 'dancing' the past couple of days. Always either a female and two males or two of each. Any idea what they're doing? Is it a mating thing or just playing?!! Thanks Whoops, can't add video. Basically, they swim along the length of the tank and then flutter up and...

Hey guys So I cycled, I got bored, I cycled some more, I got really bored and all seemed good so am now adding fish and they're loving it. Started with 2x boesmani rainbow fish and 3x cherry barbs (1xM, 2xF). First night sat watching them, they were a little timid and one of the rainbowfish...

Hi guys Finally got my tank cycling, filter pump was shindig more like a grinding motorbike than a quiet pump so took it apart to see if any loose parts and managed to snap the little prop off!! Ooops. Luckily no fish in yet so not a major issue. Was filtering for 24 hours and cleared a quite...

Hey guys Another stupid newbie question - which media do I need for my Rio 125? The manual isn't a lot of help and lists Rekord, Compact, and loads of numbers but I can't find exactly which one mine is (bought tank 2nd hand). I THINK it's the compact, as per JUWEL RIO 125 COMPLETE FILTER MEDIA...

Hi guys I've recently bought a Juwel Rio 125 tank which was setup as Marine FOWLR. I'm looking to start a tropical tank and so will give it a good clean out this weekend but don't want to use the wrong stuff. Is there anything I should avoid using? Or something that would be more beneficial...

Hey y'all Completely new to the fishy world. I already have a motorbike so it's def not a mid-life crisis but finally in a position to get aquatic. Have been researching for a couple of weeks and picked up a second hand Juwel Rio 125 last night which will be a tropical tank. The nice girl I...
