I put 2 blue dwarf gourami in my tank with 6 harliquin rasbora about 3 months ago. It's a 10 gallon tank heavily planted as deemed ok the last time I was on here. The fish seem fine the pair would have a little tussle once every so often but nothing major. They both look healthy however all...

I have been told about this aqadvisor a few times and it's been highly rated by people but how good is it in terms of trusting what it says. I have a 12 gallon planted tank with 3 corys (3 died) and 6 copper rasbora. The aqadvisor tells me I can put a dwarf gourami and 5 c pearl danio, as much...

I have had my tank for nearly a year when I first got the tank I didn't think I'd want live plants as I was more interested in the fish. I have now got the urge to plant the hell out of the tank. I like the look of the carpeted idea. Are there any carpet like plants that won't need a layer of...

I have a 20 gallon tank after a year of not restocking dead fish I am looking to add some new fish I currently have 6 copper rasbora and 4 corys left. Any suggestions on another nice fish or shoal I could have in with them? I know the tank is smallish so I'm not expecting to be able to put loads...

I have a 5 g fluval chi. I've had 2 bettas (separately obviously) in the last year sadly the last ones died. Any ideas for other fish I could have in the tank. If not I might just bin the tank and concentrate on the bigger tank

I have a fluval chi I have had two bettas die in the last 6 months. My water parameters are as they should be and the water is changed 50% every week. My fish was fine one day and the next he lost all his colour and just sat at the top until finding his last breath (broke my heart) any help...

I have just lost my betta to a strange illness he was very bloated all week and wasn't eating ect, my water parameters have been ok every day I've tested. I heard a few things that made me believe he had a parasitic infection. If there are parasites in my water 1) would I see them ? And 2) how...

I have had my betta for over 6 months and he's seemed fine. However I woke up yesterday and noticed one side of his neck/throat area is swollen and he had a white stringy spot hanging from underneath. Does anyone have any knowledge on this ?

My filter in my small 19 litre tank has stopped working could I use an air pump and stone with Sponge filter as a new filter ? As a permanent replacement or is it not recommended?

I have just put my betta into his own 5 gallon tank from a community tank. I want to put some shrimp in with him as I've never had them. I've heard he may eat cherries and ghosts would be better as he cant see them as well. has anyone got any advice on which would be better and also how many...

Other than adding more oxygen to the tank is there anything else an air stone and pump does to the tank. My filter on my 5.5g tank doesn't seem to penetrate the water very much although my fish seems to be ok id still like to know if I'd be better off getting an air pump and stone

My 10 g tank has been fish less cycling now for over 4 weeks and although I have managed to get the ammonia to be dropping to 0ppm I can't seem to get the high amounts of nitrite to drop. Any advice ?

I have a small 10g tank and every day or 2 the water goes down to the minimum level for the filter. I have to keep making up water and adding the dechlorinator. Is it safe to make a ready made bottle and leave it so I don't have to keep making more up.

I was wondering if anyone keeps females in with other fish in a community and how that's going, as I'm considering getting a group of 5 or more in my tank with the small shoal I have at the moment.

Can I use some of the water from another fully established tank to put into a new tank to start off the cycling

I used a bio enhancer to start my new tanks fishless cycle as it worked in my last tank fine. However it's been cycling for a week, I've not seen any ammonia on my tests only high nitrites and nitrates. Have I just missed the ammonia (not seen it as I didn't test water first 2 days) or do...

Is it normal to have a high nitrate reading durin the fishless cycle? I have a new 5.5g tank to put my betta in once cycled. I tested the water and I have 0 ammonia 0 nitrite but nearly 60ppm nitrates! Is this normal as I don't recall it being that high in my other tanks
