I expect this has popped up before so sorry. I have like blanket weed growing on my plants (grass), what is the best way to get it off please. This is in my aquarium.

I have snails in my tanks, they help clean the plants and one cat fish. The glass I clean with a sponge. I am temped to get one more catfish.

I have decided I will have a tank (planted) with Tetra's, foremost will be neon's, what other Tetra's can I put in or any other suggestions. Tank size 2 foot x 1 foot x 18 inches deep, 60ltr.

The males only is a good idea so I popped round to my local fish shop but he told me he cannot sell me only males, he then said I have to have 3 females to I male.

I have a 60ltr tank and I would like to have just guppy's in there. This is what I have. Two males, one blue and one red tails. Four females but they are young still but in a separate tank, they are the daughters of either of the mails. I gave away all my females and there young but left...

Sorry, I have pictures but only on my hard drive so can not post. It is just a bog standard 2 foot tank. I am leaning towards shrimps or Killie fish, (got an idea I've spelt that wrong).

I expect this has been asked lots of time but hear go's. I have this tank fully planted and with filter running and lighting but no fish. I did once have daphnia breading in there. It seems a waist to have it just for that but fancy doing a bit of breading, something like a small fish, I did...

Oh dear, oh dear, I feed 3 times a day. Only 1 tank 60 ltr, 15 fish. Looks like I had better cut down.

Up Date on my tank Second day, tank is clear and there is some small Daphnia in the water. My plan is, I will bread more Daphnia in this tank, then each day will take one jug of water from this tank and put in my fish tank number 2, hopefully with some Daphnia in, that will be after I have...

I am having a go at breeding Daphnia, not to exciting, I have to send of for them as can not get locally. Got the tank set up with new top light, one that changes color's but found it was not as bright as my first tank so, as I was waiting for Daphnia to arrive I fixed some silver paper foil...

I brought 9 Guppy's and ended up with loads.

I am starting a breading culture of Daphnia and have put them in a 60Lt tank with safe filter, heater and the odd plant. What I would like to know is, do they reproduce by eggs or live bearers ? How long do they live for? At what age do they have young ? I did buy a packet and put in the...

All I have done is put a pinch of flake food in the palm of my hand, crunch it up and feed them. All my fry have survived..... so far, only one week old.

This will be my plan of action, I do feed the fish a lot.

My tank is 60 ltr, has 5 neons, 6 glowlight tetras, 1 Dwarf Gourami, 9 adult guppys, and about 20 fry. I am tempted to get an Angel fish (my wife likes them). My second tank as above but has eggs from my neons.

I am a new comer to the hobby and I ended up with 3 male and 6 female guppy's, they had baby's, then more baby's. The shop was not interested in them so what do I do with the population explosion. Just to say I have 2 tanks and my wife said NO more.

I have been experimenting with substrates, I tried garden compost topped with gravel, the plants did well but looked messy. In my second tank I tried white sand, it looked good plants survived, just. I now am trying a layer of white sand with a light coloured gravel on top. This may or may not...

Thanks I feel more at ease now.

My problem is my two 60ltr tanks are not level. Both tanks stand on top of an oak desk, must be well over 20 years old and is very strong. The desk has 8 legs, 4 at the back, 4 at front, I have also put a 1 foot by 4 foot board under the tanks plus a 1 inch thick polystyrene. In my hast it...

I forgot to add, why do we need an air stone? I would have edited the above post but it would not let me....sorry.

I have 2 tanks that sit side by side so I brought a air pump with 2 outlets, it came with tubing, 2 one way valves and 2 stones. I put one stone in tank 'A' and the other in 'B'. All works a treat but it seems to me it is to powerful. Can I get 2 twisty thingy's to regulate the air output or...

Thanks Andy, have got the pump/filter. The eggs are very small, looks like 100 or more.

I have got the pump/filter as suggested Andy, will a lettuce leave be any good.

This is what I have done but need advise. I have a second 60ltr tank and have 6 neons, in there, the tank is well planted. This evening I can see what looks like very small eggs stuck to the front glass, a quick count is over 30. The problem is I am running a small bio filter with a black...

I have had a 30 foot pond in my garden for more years than I can remember but then my neighbor's cat moved in, after all fish was eaten we decided to get rid of the pond, on emptying it we found one small gold fish. I got a 2 foot tank for him but then we gave him to a friends pond. I now...
