Hi all :) i'm going to be decorating one of the rooms in my house and will be moving my bedroom into it. however i do have a 35ltr tank all set up with fish and shrimp in. what would you advise is the best way to move it? its literally a few feet away so its not going to be moved far. but i'm...

it sounds like (and i dont know the proper names unfortunately) what i had at one point and still sorta do. are they like little white squiggly things, usually on the glass, they look like little worms? if so i've had it and from what i researched they seem to be because of "excessive" waste in...

as far as i can tell at the moment at least 6 out of the 8 RCS are alive in the tank, at least one of which is carrying babies. The betta honestly doesnt bother with the shrimp at all. the RCS are usually hidden so he never sees them anyway and when he does they move away from him. and our amano...

Hi all :) i have in my tank (or should have) 8 RCS. however over the last week or 2 it seems as if their numbers have dropped. i can still see one or 2 but not in the place that i believed to be their "home" in my tank. we do have a betta but we havent seen him eat any, i realise that doesnt...

Yeah i was just clarifying that i wasnt talking of a childrens night light haha. and thank you for that we get a fair amount of light in our room anyway so i may just get the night light so its not such a drastic change when going from day to night time

hi all :) just a quick one. do night lights, and when i say night lights i dont mean kiddy night lights i mean things like this Micro LED light blue by Marina | Pets at Home affect fish sleeping paterns? i was thinking of getting something like the above light to illuminate my tank at night...

My girlfriend initially wanted just some goldfish in a bowl, but we got the bowl and 2 goldfish (and i realise NOW this was bad) also afterwards got some neon tetras and a molly.... yes i know terrible. after that we did some serious research and got a 19ltr tank (spent nearly £100 on it) and...

i would say maybe some small doses of melafix if he doesnt get better soon. just do a fifth of the normal dose (so if its 5ml only do 1ml) i have a betta and inverts and all of them are still fine after being dosed. my betta got scared the other day and managed to bump himself about and looked...

i found that my nitrites stayed pretty high for a while and then after a couple of weeks it was suddenly down to 0ppm. after that i did about a week of testing to make sure it was working ok and that was it done

when i cycled my tank i did 4ppm of ammonia and tested daily until it dropped to 0ppm ammonia then dosed it back up until i saw nitrites drop to 0ppm and then stay at 0ppm. i personally think your dosing too much too regularly. if you've already got 5ppm of ammonia today, leave it for a few days...

haha mine does the same i've seen plants move from one end of the tank to the other because he knocked them loose. even seen him try to move my heater and such as well haha

If you dont care about overstocking you shouldnt be on this forum. no one will give you an answer now simply because your being stupid. so Fishy Aston. must remember never to reply to/read anything from/or even acknowledge you in future if your going to be like this. no point it just wastes...

Below is the 10 gallon my betta is in at the moment. a couple of months ago he was in a 5gal bow front. for this betta, he prefers his new tank. IMO its down to the betta. some betta's will be fine in a 2-5gal and be happy as larry. but then some might want a bigger one. i would say get a...

we've had them a few weeks now and all the amano are still there and far as we know (theres a lot of hiding places in my tank) all 8 RCS are still alive. yeah every now n then he chases them but hes a slow swimmer and they are really fast shrimp. if he does kill em though you'll be the first...

our male betta male betta again but a close up :) our apple snail (he looks like he has a crack in his shell but he doesnt, thats where his shell was when we bought him, any growth past that is new whilst in our tank) The daddy amano shrimp one of our RCS

Gotta be honest we weren't sure. A lot of people said finrot even though it was only the one fin that deteriorated and he didn't display any other symptoms of finrot. I personally think because he looks a lil old he was blowing his fin and now after all this treatment with melafix and decent pcw...

cool thanks so long as theres some fishy crap in my tank my plants will get something :) wicked

brill thanks for that :) my tank isnt heavily planted (i.e. Co2 systems multiple layers of ubstrate) however a piece of bogwood takes up 1/3 of the tank at least and moving that around to get under it is a pain. do shrimp and snails actually eat fish poo?? i'm sure i've seen them do it just...

No worries at all fella. We've been working ages to try get our tank settled and working well. Gonna get a new filter at the weekend because the current one doesn't seem to clean detritus out of the water that well. There's always loads of crap all over the shop so this weekend a nice big clean...

hi all :) this might seem like a dumb question but you dont learn if you dont ask. say you have a heavily planted tank with large pieces of bogwood, various live and silk plants etc how would you go about cleaning your tank? a few videos/people have said (or i have seen) hoover the front...

sorry i just noticed actually you said you have a normal rectangular tank. apologies i thought you were getting a hexagonal tank :/

i would honestly say dont put the betta in that sort of tank. bettas (in my experience) need more length than height. however its entirely on you. i have had success with male bettas in community tanks. we had neon tetras in with our betta and he was fine with them... well aside from when he...

i have to ask... when you have a planted tank, quite heavily planted with big pieces of driftwood, not much gravel actually showing as its all hidden by leaves, wood etc, how do you go about cleaning? coz i wouldnt think it good moving everything around once a week.

i use melafix in my tank to keep my betta healthy. he recently had what we thought was finrot so we treated with melafix and hes fine. unfortunately without being able to see it its hard to judge. you've done well with the pictures you've got (i know its not easy photographing fish) but could...

no they didnt suggest that. my main suggestions have been RO water, or like a nitrate absorber (not sure what) other than the the only other suggestion was these Evolution Aqua Pure Aquarium Balls but they dont actuakyy lower nitrates. i'm just gonna live with 2-4 PWC a week (around 20% or...
