And here are some pics of just a few of my fish as the others were camera shy there are peacock guppies ( i finally got a picture) some of my neons black widows tetra and some i am not sure of the name of i have male and female of all except the guppies:silly:

These are the pictures of my filters heater etc in my new tank just added some java ferns to cover the sponge arms :)

yer our friend who was breeder says he puts a slice of potato in for his plecos and they love it! got my 3ft tank now for free so thats a bonus with pumps heaters the lot hes told me a few tricks to mature it quicker which is ideal ... will post pictures as it gets done... and he did a water...

ok i think my plecos actually died due to lack of food ie algae as i dont think there was enough in the tank due to get a new tank tonite a 3ft one and when i get more plecos i will be feeding them algae flakes which i never knew existed until today !

parameters as in test results ??? i had them for 4wks and we fed all the fish on frozen bloodworm

:( all my plecos have died and i dont know why am i not leaving the light on long enough currently running for 13hrs a day all levels in water are fine so god knows it is only them that have died :(

the only two clowns i had died before i added the salt and the other fish seem to be doing just fine thanks i hope my LFS listened properly too

:( i have sadly lost one of my sucker fish (cant remember name) my two blk clowns and a neon but all the other fish are thriving and doing really well did a 50% water change and all is still stable i had a few white spots on the clown that died (one just vanished into thin air) the clown died...

Hi Karegg things are doing well thanks we are doing a 25% water change tomorrow(as we have some evapouration so it needs topping up ) but other than that levels have stayed pretty stable still haven't got round to gettin an ammonia kit but will be as soon as poss all the fish are swimming around...

no figiwigi as i said in previous post i shall be gettin one this weekend as that is the only thing the strips i have dont test unfortunately

I was advised by my LFS to do a 50% WC after two weeks of having my tank is that about right or should i do 25% so as not to disturb the fish and levels too much ??

Thanks i am doing weekly checks just to keep my eye on it i will need to get an ammonia test kit as mine doesnt check for it thanks for the feedback :D I will post the numbers from the test if i am unsure whether it is ok cheers again

Can anyone tell me if those readings are ok please :)

great looking tank makes mine look so humble lol ! and guess what i found nemo!! :)

ok i will try here goes pH 7.0 GH 0 KH <40 nitrite between 0 and 0.5 nitrate <20 think thats right

I did a water test last night with the test strips that test ph nitrate nitrite etc and all was the same level as it was when i started nothing has risen and seems stable i will be testin at least once a week though and keeping an eye on the levels I use aquasafe to dechlorinate the water .Thanks :)

:(oh no well at the moment the fish seem to be swimming around happily and we aren't getting any more fish but we are looking into gettin another tank soon as well as the one we have we are waiting to see how it goes with this one first. with it being in two sections they do tend to spread out...
