    What are your favorite cichlids?

    I have varied chiclids in my community tanks these include bolivian rams, angel fish, and firemouths all of which get on fine. However are you looking at african chiclids like the lake malawi if so I think you will find most can be very boisterous. lots of luck

    Consensus on PH?

    this is an interesting debate and to a mere novice enlightening, I tried to get the perfect water chemistry in my angel tank using proprietary products from my local lfs. These included water softeners ph down RO water and a multitude of other ideas given to me. This was done over a period of...

    black growth on plants

    I have got a black hairy growth on the tips of my plants, how can I get rid of it and what is it? The plants are about 6 months old and this is the first time I have had it. the nitrate readings are around 20, the lighting is unchanged that came with the tank a juwel rio 240. :(

    Almost time for new fish, suggestions?

    As brianNY says it is not the capacity of the tank but the surface area you need to take into consideration. If you are looking at platies, I do not believe that an extra one would make much difference especially if you have an air stone in the tank. as it is the oxygen content of the water...

    betta doesn't make bubble nest in new tank

    if there is any current on the top of the tank, try making a loop with a piece of airline, joined with a tee piece and fix the tee piece to a sucker. you can then anchor the ring any where you want in the tank. I tried this with good results. lol

    Aquarium Pharma - Stress Coat and Stress Zyme

    I have read several books and articles on water chemistry and most of them agree that the tank will not be fully mature until it is seven weeks or there about old. By this time the filter should be up and running at it's best. I found that with my tanks that using stress syme and stress coat...

    newbie question

    I have two makes of canister filters in my tanks, and I found my fluval 303 a pain in the butt when cleaning. My preference is the eheim as it is much easier to maintain. lots of luck.

    Adjusting PH Levels

    I am new to the hobby and like you I wanted to adjust the ph in my tanks as it did not match the requirements of the fish in the tank. after weeks of frustration I spoke to several LFS and the concensus was not to worry about it as most of the local fish shops were using the same water chemistry...

    scratches on glass

    I have found that to remove a scratch on glass, you can use a dremmel drill with a buffing pad and polishing compound. alternatively try some metal polish with brown paper as this should not add smaller scratches. I would not use this inside the tank as this could poison the fish. Once polished...

    What fish should I get?

    I had a red tail shark for a while and I would stay well away from them. Mine would chase anything in sight, no matter what size. I am biased towards the Bolivian Ram option but be sure that if you put a pair in they will defend their own territory should they start to lay eggs. I have four...

    LFS gave me advice i'm not too happy with!! Please advise...

    I am quite new to the hobby but I have heard that you may need to remove any carbon filters from the tank other wise this may remove any medication or water treatment that you introduce. Obviously I would advise to checkm with someone with a bit more experience first. good luck
