Ended up getting a bigger tank and cycling it with seeded material from my main tank. Got plants in and 10 neon tetras and 6 harlequin rasboras as well as 2 sterbai Corydoras. Also got myself a led light specifically for the plants growth. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks for the input! I'll have a look what I can get at my LFS. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'll have to see what I can and can't get in Perth.. The salt and pepper corys are neat, but not to keen on the rainbowfish Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah, I some how managed to get it in both sections. If moderators could delete this one it would be great! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Setting up a new 9 gallon planted, but not yet sure on inhabitants... Thinking dwarf corys, thread fin rainbows and endler guppies.. Any better ideas? Cheers, Ben Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks for that info! Looks like it could be the next addition to my tank!

Alright guys, so I was at the local garden place and they had these things of rocks..would they be okay in my tank after a good clean and boil?

One of my reds just had an argument with the rainbow shark over food, made himself nice and red!

I've heard that too..I was considering doing it outside on a camping stove. If it does blow up it could be interesting.. But I agree that it could be tried and then taken out if it's causing weird water parameters.. Also, our water pH is already high straight from the tap..so the limestone...

Thanks! I'll give them a shot :)

Hey guys, Hopefully I don't double up threads, I did a search with no results, so hopefully all is good! I've got a group of Rainbowfish (5 Reds, 1 Goyder River and 2 Dwarf Neons) and I'm wondering if I'm feeding them right! I feed them every morning with tropical flakes, and they eat the...

Do you feed your rainbows live food at all? If so, what do you feed them? I've been feeding mine frozen brine shrimp and bloodworm which the Corys and Rainbow Shark like as well, but they once got some guppy fry (before I could rescue them) and were so happy having to work a bit for food...

That's what mine have been doing! Once they realised what it was :)

Thanks! I've found that when you pour water in they get so excited and have to sit in the current! I agree with the feeding thing as well! They go into an absolute frenzy! Also, thanks to catfish guy for clearing it up that they like the water, it's been like that a couple of days and they've...

I've just been mucking around with my filter in my tank and taken the long tube with the holes off so the water just comes straight out. It creates pretty fast moving water in one half of my 3 ft tank. I'm just checking this is okay with my Red Rainbows and my one Neon Rainbow? The corydoras...

Sounds like a job for the morning!

Soaking some now. Looks like it could be pretty soft.

I'll have a look and see if it's the crumbly stuff or not. I think it's what you'd call cap rock and had to be dug up by a 40 tonne digger. If it's the same as what was removed when we put in our pool, it's ridiculously hard. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

What kind of rock is it that the pet shops sell? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi all, I live in an area where you physically can't dig a hole deeper than 10 centimetres without hitting limestone. Can I use this (after washing in really well and maybe even boiling it) in a tank with electric yellows? There's some really interesting rocks that have been dug up whilst...

I would try Aquotix in Canning Vale they're awesome there. Or try Vebas in O'Connor. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The tank isn't heated, but our house is 90% of the time. As for the size of them, they've been fine up until now and when they get bigger, they'll move to the pond. I've started treating for cotton mouth with some stuff from the pet shop, and the last goldfish seems to be getting better! So...

Hi Roz, Thanks for your reply! I think it's a 12 gallon tank. Not 100% but it wouldn't be much more. I've just tested the parameters myself and it's looking good! I'm using an API test kit. Ammonia is: 0.10 ppm Nitrite is: 0.15 ppm Nitrate is: 30 ppm pH is: 7.4 The Bristlenose have been...

Hi there, My brothers goldfish recently started showing signs of an unknown sickness. The pet shop tested his water and his ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels are all perfect, he does his 40% water change once a week and keeps the tank clean. These 3 goldfish had been fine for months until...
