Okay, noted. I guess we'll see. I added some fertiliser and took a picture beforehand, so I'll be checking for new growth from the elodeas tomorrow. The elodea and the anubias have definitely been growing roots, which I assume is a good sign. I go to Leicester aquatics for some stuff, and then...

I got these plants from my LFS, growing in sales tanks they had (alongside fish), they all looked healthy when I purchased them.

I am currently cycling a 14 gal planted, for which I intend to get a betta and a shoal of corys. Ideally I want to get 9/10 cory habrosus, but whether or not my LFS will be able to order them in is uncertain, so I was wondering what is the maximum number of julii cory's I could get? Because...

Obsession is accurate. I got my living allowance from the government a couple of weeks ago and have already gone over my recreation budget almost entirely on aquaria. I've started picking back up freelance work solely for the sake of being able to ensure I can have meds, replacement filter...

I have an aquarium currently cycling with anubias, java fern and elodea (egeria densa). I've noticed lately that some of the leaves on one of my anubias plants have tears in them that weren't there before, and my elodea has had yellowing decaying leaves for the past few days. I've been keeping...

My stepmother had always had aquariums when I was growing up, so much so that I always assumed that having at least one fish tank was the default. Of the 5 kids in the house I was the only one who ever took serious interest in fishkeeping, and helped my stepmother do all of the research she...

Another odd thing I've noticed. This has happened three times now, I'll test the nitrites, and get a reading of <0.25ppm but definetly above zero, test them a few minutes after and get 0. Any idea what's going on here? (I know it's >0 because I have started comparing my nitrite tests to a...

Thanks. To be fair part of my confusion arises from the fact that I added both a small bag of sand from one of LFS's tanks a week ago, alongside 100ml of Tetra safestart, so was expecting to see something more significant by now. Also when adjusting my aquascape/trimming my egeria I can feel the...

Hi, I've been fishless cycling my 14 gal/65L aquarium for about 1.5 weeks, and over the last few days I've been seeing some very odd results. Yesterday I tested my nitrite levels, and they were clearly 0.25ppm, I tested them in the evening and they were back down to zero, but no change in the...
