    Pleco

    It's a chubby Pleco. Algae wafers and blood worms. Flake food. It dashing about and bashes the fish out the way. I am quite attached to him.

    New tank

    Thanks [emoji16] any luck on finding a local shop? They often do good deals on decorations and plants. Pets at home is not the worse though.

    Pleco

    Okay so this is probably me worrying. My Chubby Pleco eats like a horse and often moving. I never had a baby one before, I had a Common Pleco and had to give it up as I had small tank and it got huge. I just can see its organs and thought they were too red. Not had much experience with baby Plecos.

    New tank

    I am from the UK, I would definitely get some bogwood and plants, like Java Ferns and Amazon Swords, plus some moss balls. Look Aquarium Gardens it's a UK based site and provides lots of great plants and bits and pieces [emoji16]

    New Fish issues already! :(

    The Mollies was probably ill before you got it home. It happens to everyone. If I was you I would use a local independent store, most people, on the forum call LFS, as they tend to look after the fish better. But sometimes fish just die when you get them home. I have not had the greatest...

    My beautiful column tank! :D

    Trust me I did too! I had 2 Bristlenose Plecos, 4 Gourami and 2 Weather loaches in a small tank had great filtration till I had power cut then disease got ammonia spiked and I lost my tank. The hardest lesson to learn no problems with water till then. That's why I pledged never to over stock my...

    Dwarf Gourami Tankmates?

    DG really need a 18 inch tank. As they are very active swimmers, they can be buggers otherwise. If not get lots of plants.

    Opaline Gourami - Body/Spinal Deformity?

    I would put him in the freezer. Kills him quickly. I had to do it once.

    Plants for Goldfish and Plecos?

    Plain Moss balls are also good. Try live bacteria to help your fish settle in and filter get fully established [emoji16]

    Plants for Goldfish and Plecos?

    Well I think your silver dollars will destroy everything lol! I remember someone saying they even eat silk plants haha! It seems java ferns are very hardy and they well eat new growth I think they should survive a while. Moss should be okay
