I have done quite a lot of research and although bumblebee gobies do well kept in brackish, on a brackish forum (and pufferfish.com etc) it was said that they can do well in hard, alkaline freshwater. Although I might try out the brackish thing with a figure eight. DP are very aggressive and...

I had thought about the dwarf puffers - the only thing is their inability to be kept with the bumblebee gobies as they are so aggressive. I am planning to have the tank well planted Thanks for the link, I'm just indecisive! :D Can anyone answer my questions about the red-eye red-tail and...

I am about to buy a 20 gallon tank and am desperate to get a puffer or two to put in it. I have done my research and am now not sure whether to make it brackish or freshwater as I don't know whether to get 2 red-eye red-tail puffers or a south american puffer in freshwater or 1 or 2 figure...

Thanks for your advice, I will definately try it.

it is called whitespot here and I think Ich in America. What is the temperature method and does it work? if protozin is better and not harmful to my other fish, I'd like to use it as I already have it.

some of my dwarf neon rainbowfish have whitespot in my tank and I have got some protozin, but on the back it says to halve the dosage for scale-less species. I have bumblebee fish, corys and a bristlenose in there aswell but I am most worried about my african dwarf frogs, are they fine with the...

I saw a green plec in my lfs and am keen to get one but im not sure if they can handle the high pH of my malawi tank (around 8.4). I am pretty sure you can put a common or sailfin pleco in an african cichlid tank and after reading the profile on Planet Catfish (excellent site) for the green...

oh ok thanks for your help, i found kandeensis, the "blue orchid", but my two inch fish have kinda red fins and look more like jacobfriebergi, which would not be good as i think they get too big for my tank. I have done a lot of research and are only aiming to get the relatively peaceful mbuna...

sorry, missed that out, its 55g

I finally finished cycling on my malawi tank a few days ago. yesterday, went out and got 5 yellow labs and 4 auloncara kandesis (antyone heard of these, I can't find them anywhere?!). I only have a few stocking qs. I have lots of filtration (filstar XP3, internal corner sponge filter and a...

thanks. All the media is new or has been washed. From the search I think Ill try raising the filter (although it is much less than they say is the maximum distance), check the impeller but past that I cannot find anything. this may sound silly, but I can't work out how to get at the impeller...

I have just set up my 55 gal and after about a day I realised my rena filstar filter was leaking from around the top of the motor housing and where the power cord comes out of the housing. I ordered and replaced the impeller o-ring seal and it was fine for a while but after a few hours started...

I ordered it as ocean rock for my aquarium and I am pretty sure that it is standard stuff but I have never seen it before and I think I am paranoid. It is more rough than sharp. Thanks for your help.

I am planning my African -Malawi- cichlid setup (55ga) and I know where I am going...finally! I just have a few questions... I have a sponge filter in the corner of my tank (with powerhead) and a Rena xP3 filstar (which is quite powerful - it is recommended for 250-600liters). I am also...

I forgot to put I checked my water for ammonia and nitrates on a few seperate occasions last week and they were fine. The fish are still quite small - about an inch - so it is quite hard to see if their scales are sticking out but I can't notice anything. I give them a pinch of sera GVG-mix...
