Your in the USA though, right? I'm in England... So I might have trouble, will have to see what's around here!

Well I've just finished doing a 50% w/c... Now hopefully the no3 will be slightly better then it was! I'll have to look into getting some Anacharis, is it usually available from most aquatic shops?

Would I have adapt my set up to suit getting plants? Atm I just have the standard Juwel Rio 125.

Thanks for the advice, I've just ordered myself the API master test kit and the Seachem's Prime... As for the water change I'm gonna crack on and do another 50% change right now! Would you suggest maybe getting a plant to reduce the 20ppm I get out of my tap?

Yea I been doing w/c every week... You think I should be doing 50% w/c a few times a week? Trouble is the tap water I use also has nitrate in it at around 20ppm. Atm I've only got API 5 in 1 test strips and have a feeling I should invest in a more accurate test kit as it doesn't test for ammo!

Hi, I'm new to keeping a tropical aquarium... I have a Juwel Rio 125litre tank and it's been cycling for about 4weeks now with fish and basically the nitrate/nitrite levels don't seem to decrease... Did a 10% partial water change earlier today and tested it again 10mins ago and it's still...

Okies... Thanks for the advice!

I'll give it a go and add them, but will keep an eye on them! How many would you recommend to have in a shoal? 5 or more?

There's 8 barbs... I've heard they like to nip fins, and although my corys don't have long finnage it is longer then that of the barbs. Well the back up plan would be just to put them back in the smaller tank for the time being.

Hi, I've got a Jewul Rio 125 tank with tiger barbs in and a small 15litre tank with 2 trillineatus cory's... Basically what I wanna know is, can I add the cory's to the the larger tank without the tiger barbs nipping their fins? Any advice would be appreciated!
