A week or so ago, there was always this blob on the side of my aquarium. I took no notice of it thinking it was just algae or something. Now I see it's grown (quite quickly) into a snail! Now, reading about all the dramas people have with snails and how rapidly they can breed, how hard they...

I currently have 6 x Black Phantoms, 6 x Zebra Danios, 3 Pearl Gouramis and a Bristlenose in my 175l tank. What I want is maybe a cory (probably Albino) for the bottom, and a centrepiece fish (or maybe 2?) to finish everything off. I'm thinking of some type of Angel fish. Now I know that...

After 8 weeks of cycling, maybe two weeks of adding plants after that, and now FISH - at last! They refused to pose for photo's though. So far I have 6 x Black Phantom Tetras, 6 x Zebra Danios, 3 x Pearl Gouramis, and one Bristlenose. I may be able to take more pics of the fish once they've...

I have at times have had power outages, probably have several yearly for a few hours at a time. The longest was just on 12 hours. I know the consequences of not having circulating water and a running filter can have on the bacteria population in the tank, which is why I'm looking into a ups...

Hi everyone. I'm around four weeks into my fishless cycling, and I've only just begun to see real progress in the past few days. I was watching the air bubbles floating around the tank this morning and then I saw what I thought was just a little bit of decaying matter floating about - but it...
