Hi people, i've not been on here for a while. I'm after an airpump, something like a rena 200/300, just thought if i could save a few pounds buying a 2nd hand one its worth an ask Am in the UK

had to get pump out of tank as it had stopped working and not tried getting it out yet. i have the tank on top of a stand/cupboard and all the wires going into the bottom of cupboard thru a hole in back. anyway, i couldn't get the plug back thru hole to get it out, as the cupboard is too close...

i'd get arrested if i caught the fish i catch lol want to go salmon fishing soon, will be able to eat them.

i fish a lot (posted some pics recently) i always release them as i go fishing for carp and they live for years, is great when your a regular to a well maintained lake where people care about the fish, you get to know the fish in there and is really good feeling to catch one, put it back and...

cool, thanks guys. btw the carp pictured is 20lb 2oz, my biggest so far is 25lb tiger barbs are happy enough, was curious thats all. they a great fish too, was recommended by someone on here, so thanks. few more their home

are they meant to have a green tinge to em? they all look really green sometimes? and a carp :D

whoops did i post this in wrong forum? thanks for the info, i'm wasn't too attached to the fish, i've had them for years, and they always help to cycle my new tanks. might get a couple more tho, as they are really active and great fun to watch.

was looking at aquarium over weekend and noticed that a danio had swollen up and all the scales were sticking out, looked like a bull of white fuzz. looked through book and it looked as if it was "dropsy" so removed the fish and had to sacrifice it. put some treatment stuff in, but not sure...

wow, great advice, thanks..... :D i have got adobe photoshop, but didn't use it on that pic.... i'm happy that people like my tank :) the tiger barbs enjoy it.

yes, the fish look fine :) they seem very happy, and alway hungrey

Cheers.... its 21 uk gallons... am having great troubles finding the algae shrimp i put in there lol they either hiding somewhere or been eaten

not the best pic, i can't seem to get a good pic, something to do with settings on camera i guess. colours look better with flash off, but image comes out blurry

gonna try anyway. hopefully u should see a pic of my tank

well i've had convicts for the last year and recently changed the tank to tiger barbs, which i think prefer soft water. PH is about 7.6 IIRC how can i make the water softer?

:( cost me a tenner for them....... am looking into this planted tank stuff, and want to have a planted tank, i think i may need to have a re-think of the tank in the future........ it will be ok for now tho, gotta get used to controlling the water conditions etc....

here i go again..... my tank is reading (i'm not too sure what they mean) GH reads 21d and Carbonate hardness = 20d ^^^^^hope that makes sense to someone as it means bugger all to me.... i am using a eSHa Aqua Quick test kit, so may not be the most accurate of readings

Oh no :( hopefully they will last a little bit of time, as the tiger barbs are very small at the moment also they will have a job finding them as the tank dwarfs the fish in there, and its fully planted. i haven't seen the shrimp since the second they went in lol

Will algae eating shrimp eat plants? or make holes in them? will my tiger barbs eat the shrimp?

Many thanks all. they do seem like nice fish, but i opted for 10 tiger barbs instead..........they pretty tiny at the mo, about 1cm big.......

Hi all.... Been out to some shops over the last few days and looked at the tiger barbs, not sure if i want them, although i'm not ruling em out yet. Saw some Ram cichlids and loved the look of em, then got told they were cichlids and remembered the state the convicts left my tank in. have...

good idea. i have an UGF with powerhead on one uplift tube and airstone on the other tube. there's quite a strong current in the tank too.... main reason for getting em, is that the convicts are too messy and not good with an UGF. Not sure on what colour/type of substrate to get either?

nothing else no, just the tigers......

as above, i was thinking of about 20???

cheers m8, appreciated. they seem exactly the sort of thing i want....... just had a search round the net for them

hi all, not been here for ages. am going to change my fish, the convicts are too messy, and i think the undergravel filter was a bad idea for them as they like to dig.... i want to get rid of convicts and start again. what i want: -fish that are colourful -fish that shoal together -must be...
