This is my 16 gallon tank. Current inhabitents-5 Platys and an Angelfish. It's been set up for around a year and a half now, but this is the favourite scape that I have done for it. Sorry about the poor quality of some of the pics! A full tank shot and again This is Archie, my angelfish...

These are my new platys! I got them yesterday, and they look like they are settling in well! I got two males and three females, so hopefully I'll get some fry! :D (Sorry about the poor quality pics, they were taken with a video camera as we don't have a proper digital one yet).

I've been reading a lot about CO2 lately, and know that surface agitation will lower the CO2 levels. In my small planted tank, should I have an air pump? I don't have any CO2, not even DIY, so would I get algae or stunted plant growth if I have the pump on 24/7? Would the fish still be able to...

In my 58 litre/12 gallon, tank, I have 1 young Shubunkin Goldfish. He seems fine, but when I test the water, the PH is 8. Is this too high? Ammonia and Nitrite are 0, Nitrate are 10. I use the Freshwater Master Test Kit, not Dip-Sticks which I know can be unreliable. I have 3 plants, some...

I've had him 5 days, and until now he was pretty lively, but today he is just sitting on the bottom of the tank. Is anything wrong or am I getting worried over nothing? The other fish is fine. Thanks! Shubunkin01

Hi I've recently bought my first tank( :D ) tank (58 litres/12gallons?) and have some freshwater plants. No fish yet, still cycling. I'm wondering if I need any plant food, or anything I can do to help them. The petshop said no, but I've heard they can't really be trusted. Any ideas? Thanks...
