Hi everyone, I have a group of 5 pearl gourami (2 male, 3 female) and one of my females has several areas on her body where it seems like the scales have disappeared and there are white areas left behind. These started off as small white spots over her body, but now she’s got quite large white...

Hi everyone, I’ve had a group of 6 Pearl Gourami (2 male, 4 female) for a few months and everything has been fine up to this point, aside from minor aggression. However I’ve just noticed one of my females acting strangely, she’s not swimming around with the rest of the group and isn’t really...

Hello, I've been fishlessly cycling my planted 200l/55g aquarium since the start of June using ammonia. Within the first few weeks my ammonia levels were starting to drop off and I was beginning to see nitrites and nitrates, and apart from a brief period when my nitrites stopped reducing...

Hello everyone, I’ve been fishless cycling my 200l/55 gallon aquarium with pure ammonia for around 5 weeks. I started off by dosing ammonia to 4ppm, testing it occasionally and redosing whenever ammonia fell below 0.5ppm back up to 4ppm. Within 2 weeks I’d started getting nitrite, with this...

Hello everyone, I've posted this on another forum but I've decided to move it to this forum as it seems much more active. Hope that isn't an issue :) So, I'm potentially getting a 125l/30 gallon aquarium which is 81cm long, 36cm deep and 50cm high. I have several stocking ideas so far; Option...

Hello, I’ve found this aquascape that I’m obsessed with and would love some help identifying the plants used. Also, how do you think the plants at the bottom were planted? It looks like they’re attached to coconut shells to me but I’m not sure. Thanks in advance

Hello everyone, I'm trying to aquascape a 55 gallon cube which is a Juwel Lido 200 with the intention of either having an Asian biotope or perhaps a South American biotope (any recommendations on either biotope or any species suggestions?). The tank is 71cm/28 inches wide, 65cm/25.6 inches...

Hi everyone, I'm just over a month into fishless cycling my aquarium and my results seem very strange. My nitrites have been off the scale since the first week of cycling. Yesterday and for the past two weeks my ammonia has dropped to 0ppm within 24 hours of dosing it to 2ppm. However, when I...

Hello, I have a 200l / 55 gallon Juwel Lido that's pretty difficult to perform a water change on. The volume of the tank isn't that much of a problem, it's more that it stands at around 1.45 m tall. I currently use a syphon and a bucket, which is fine for emptying the tank but the height means...
