Hey everyone, Just to update. Not had any further deaths in the last 3 days, everything seems to have calmed down. Water parameters are still strong. Think the fish that died must have been stressed in the travelling/adjustment to the new tank?

The guppies are acting erratic though. Cory Sterbai are also spending quite a bit time swimming in the mid levels Angels seem fine

Just got home and had a tetra and guppy stuck to the filter dead! No signs of nipped fins or trauma. Just checked the water and it’s Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10 Tetras seem happy and more full of colour now and are schooling in the middle rather then hanging on the bottom. Really don’t...

I’m Using the API master test kit. I’m also doing 30/40% water changes every 3 days. Yesterday was Ph 6.4 Ammonia .25 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5

Hey Aiken, Yes that’s right I did run into issues at the start but the tank had cycled (quite quickly as the filter was from the previous owner so had all the Bb in it). The guppies were added 10 days ago so missed the uncycled issues and tetras were added 6 days ago In the last 8/9 days I’ve...

Thanks guys for the advice. I’m just struggling to understand why they aren’t happy and each day I wake up I have a dead tetra or guppy stuck to the filter. My parameters are fine. Ph 6.4 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5 I have good flow and aeration with the spray bar and air stone but they...

Hey All, I have a 190L Trigon corner tank which I have cycled and added an external sunsun 304b canister filter along side the internal Bioflow as well as a couple of airstones. I'm a complete newbie and I think I've got carried away with my stocking after having a false start with trying a...

From the research I've done - all of these can survive in the same temp and water conditions as Goldfish? Broke my heart I couldn't get Angel fish as that was my plan, however the silver lining i that I have the green light for a 350l tank in a few months for the Angel :)

Ok so update: the decision on the stocking was made for me by the wife :banghead: but happy wife, happy life. So the decision is that we will be keeping Fancy Goldfish. So the stocking list looks like the below: Black Moor Jelly Head Oranda 2 more fancy goldfish - suggestions would be great...

Thanks everyone, the water has become clear now and I'm very happy with it. Currently doing my cycle with the old filter and stability and prime. Testing kit arrives tomorrow so will see how it's all going

Could a Moderator remove this post please as I have since completely overhauled the tank so the post is no longer relevant Many Thanks

Hey Guys, Wanted to get some pointers on stocking advice for my 190L corner tank? I am just going through the cycling now but want to plan out the tank, at the moment I am thinking of the below. My main aim is that I want eye catching/colorful that are fairly active so I can watch them in the...

Ok great, will look into the Java ferns once I’ve got the water under control and began stocking. This is 30 mins after filling the tank up

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and advice. After researching most of the day I have had a change of plan with the aquarium, I've spent the evening draining and cleaning the tank and removing all of the old soil and have replaced with sand. Felt it was an easier start for a newbie and I...

These are the pics

Hey everyone, I have a planted tank that I bought 3 days ago. I was very excited to get going with the tank so immediately filled it and threw everything in that the previous owner had. Since then I've done some research and thinking and would very much like to change the whole set up of the...

Hey guys, Quick question on the filter. I am seeing different schools of thought on whether the filter is fit for purpose or not? Do people here work fine with the stock filter or has everyone gone for an aftermarket version? How much difference does the aftermarket make

It is Murky like Debris and seems to be getting clear but very slowly. Should I stick some plants straight in or wait for the water to clear up? Cycling is only something I am hearing about now, I didn't realise it needed to be done. At the moment I am treating daily with Seachem clarity...

This is the state of it at the moment

Hey everyone, Brand new to the hobby with getting my first tank yesterday. I managed to pick up a used Juwel 190l Trigon Corner Tank. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and their set ups. My Plans are to have this first tank as a mixed community and looking to acquire a 240L tank to...
