I use exactly the same. Gives the water a polish too. You can buy a big role of it on eBay very cheap. I change it weekly/fortnightly as it can get clogged up. When you have an air line, another good idea is to create a barrier for half the tank. So you got the water surface movement in one...

Check out rainbow gobies. With the colours you mentioned, could be a variant of that. It's very cool when you get a random fish appear. I had it recently after changing stock. 2 months later I've seen a baby fish from my old stock. Not so good though, as I need to find it a new home, as...

My guess.... Very much is a guess. Check out the freshwater "goby" species. Possibly a young goby.

Hey. So you've tried having it in a different room of the house and still the same? Was that definitely the opposite volt line? The only other things can be water, a vaulty supply of lights or the ballast isn't matching the lights, which is causing excess current. That would be my thoughts...

My tank glass in particular has never been cleaner since getting nerite snails. Had rabbit snails for ages, which I would recommend to anyone anyway. They are so cool to watch. I'm not sure if nerites would be suitable in a tank with a plec though. I know the plec I used to have used to knock...

Guessing when you say Fritz complete you mean Fritz Zyme 7/9 (7 fresh/9 marine) Supposed to reduce a cycle and keep fish safe during that cycle via adding beneficial bacteria. It's hard to say whether or not it's legit because during transportation, it's gonna end up getting frozen somewhere...

Cories are better in larger shoals. Looks wise, I agree one large group of one type is better, but that is personal preference more than anything else. I watched a guys tank once that had 10-12 cories of 5 or 6 types. All swam about together loving life. Although, breeding was never going to...

Hey, welcome. The Corrie's generally always interact with eachother no matter what specific Cory they are, so if you want a different one, that should be fine. I love the look of the purple emporers and considered them myself, but ive read they thrive in soft water with lots of tannins, so left...

It's quite a small tank to keep them in so definitely do water changes etc as recommended. We all know it doesn't take much for a small tank to have issues. It might be worth putting that tank Dec structure right bang in the middle and making a place that's considered a divider. Also try to...

Hey jesper. Is there any reason in particular for the 26 degrees? Goldfish will handle that fine but I believe room temperature is optimum. Around 20-24. Although, changing temperature whilst cycling might be more hassle than it's worth. What's others think?

Yeah I totally get that. I am nearly 40 [emoji20] and grew up when video games were just getting bigger and bigger. I had fish (that I looked after) from the age of 8 till about 14, but then I got a pc and a playstation. That meant the end for the fish. It's only when I felt too old to be...

Before you do anything drastic like that, definitely do all research prior. The substrate is a lot more than a floor for the fish and means alot to the eco system. It would be an awful lot simpler and safer to find plants that work with your parameters. The overstocking is probably the No1...

Like everything, things need to evolve to stay in line with modern society. The only problem with that is that we live in a throw away society and it seems like it's the same with tropical fish. I for one would be happier if LFS sorted their **** out and increased prices along with increasing...

Have you got more images and images of him right now and about 3+ months ago. As Andy said. His fins are lacking quite a bit and it might make it more noticeable to compare.

100%. The comment is made about people only learning they have got a variety of preferences after the fact. Sometimes it's so difficult when you first start. Go to a chain pet store in the UK and I expect further afield and 95% is marked as easy to keep. They might include the size but that's...
