Hey all, Had my tank about three months now. Water levels have just been checked and are: 0/0/7-8 (ammonia/nitirite/nitrate) I bought some lemon tetras on Monday and added them accordingly. They were introduced to a tank with male mollies. They seemed to be doing fine, stuck together and...

Hey, been trying to get a decent photo all morning and just can't manage it. Got four mollies in my tank, all bought together. History before getting to LFS is quarantined for a week before coming into store tanks for sale. Water params are 0/0/0 and just done a scheduled 50% water change...

Cheers guys/gals Lots of good info there, next few days off work will be great touring some regional fish shops to find my preferred one :)

Ha bulldozers is a perfect description. They are proper food guzzlers as well. I picked males as I didn't want any breeding and so far I'm quite happy with them. Really like the way they look as well. Are they likely to cause a ruckus with fish that traditionally school? Say six tetras for...

Hey after double checking my cycle after some advice, I got all the right results and went ahead and got some mollies for my tank. I got four males. They're all in good health, sprightly and active and feeding (and pooping) well. Seriously, with the pooping...... Anyway, as they've settled in...

So soon I hope to be adding fish and I've been looking round various stores and just have a couple of quick questions: I really like the idea of a couple of snails but after reading round it seems you stick one or two in there and then there are hundreds. I'm not sure about sexing them because...

awesome - cheers folks!!

Yeah sorry, should have mentioned. I started the cycle 3rd Feb I think. I used ammonia and seeded with bacteria supplement and was monitoring the nitrite and nitrate levels. Nitrates hit about 50ppm on Friday. Nitrites were lower but present. I did a 90% water change on Saturday and added a...

Hey, I think I am cycled now but just need someone to cast their eye over these results and see if they agree. Important note: I did a control test straight from tap water and after five minutes it matched the exact colour of the ammonia test. I couldn't show it in pic as I only have three test...

Try the superfish deco posters - bottom of the page. They are reversable and a couple have plain blue or plain black. Pagina 9 - Superfish Aquarium EN I got this one:

Hey! Thanks for the reply. Always good to know you're on the right track!

Hey, Just want to check if everything is looking fine so far regarding numbers for my new tank. It is so frustrating waiting!! It's a 20gl tank and I added quickstart bacteria and dechlorinator according to instructions. I saw lemon tetras in stock today and am desperate for them!! Also one...

Hey thanks for that, appreciate the thoughts. I'll hold off the rams then if they are that sensitive. I have enough to be getting on with anyway until the tank is cycled anyway :)

Hey all, Just posting an intro here. Another novice to the hobby is born :) I ideally want to graduate onto Marine fish but thought I'd first make sure I'm capable of looking after tropical before attempting the more nuanced and then apply that knowledge to my eventual goal. I've flitted...

Hey, My tank is currently cycling and it won't be ready for a few weeks yet so I'm just looking at some fish and noting down which to order. However, it seems to get to the stage where one or two are possible conflicts and I'm getting a bit stressed trying to get a compatible community. I'm...
