Thanks for advice people, I'm having bother finding any at all in local stores I'm going to have to try mail order by look of it

Thanks I will check them out

We were given a tank for the work place and after a while it had an awful smell, we found the lights and cover were very dirty so cleaned it all thoroughly with water and it solved the problem! I think it may have been the heat making the smell worse!

Can anyone recommend a floating plant that's easy to maintain and can also help with reducing nitrates, I am in the uk and can never see anything I the fish stores, thanks

Yea true, most if the time they're fine, just get the odd bit of pushing now and again. The parrot fish seems to be the boss of the tank I would say! We rescued the convict recently and so far so good.

And a fire mouth

Parrot fish, convict, krib and 5 tiger barbs.

Yes he's the only one I have, only problem with him he's a bit boisterous at times

Yeh the photo doesn't so him justice, he's got bright blue/green spots all down his sides forming lines from head to tail.

Thanks very much

Sorry about the m's lol!! I was thinking red striped eartheater?

mmmmmmmm

Well lets hope it's cycled as my friend told me hes put all his fish into the tank this morning!!

Not sure on tank size, it's my friends tank, I think it's 100 litres, just added fish food for ammonia source. He won't have tested the tap water because he's bringing his water to work for me to test, but I will ask him to bring some in to confirm, thanks

Ok thanks, we will test again in 2 or 3 days and see how it is.
